I am a full time student in Project Management and I took a class in e-commerce recently and I decided to try to create my own Website. I hooked onto over 300 advertisers that wanted to place banners and links on my pages and it was a little overwhelming with me having no knowledge of advertising or marketing or Web design. I ended up with a free hosted site with over a dozen pages filled with these advertisers banners. I called the site A-Z Shopping even though the link states otherwise. I don't have my own domain name because I was doing everything with no money in hopes of a big payoff from these advertisers. Instead even with national advertising I didn't hardly get any clicks much less a sale. I would like to ask someone with experience in this field-either affiliate marketing or Website design to take a look at my site and tell me what I need to do to get viewers to click on the ads and make me a profit from sales of merchandise.

Prioritized, practical fixes for (after requested the address). The goal is to move from scattershot banners to a focused, trust-building site that converts visitors into clicks and purchases.

Too many generic banners and no clear content focus cause "banner blindness" and low trust; simplifying and adding useful, original content is the fastest way to improve clicks and conversions (NNG on banner blindness). Equally important: measure everything (traffic sources, CTR, conversion rate, earnings per click) so changes can be evaluated.

Immediate priorities:

  • Reduce clutter: remove low-performing banners and keep 1–2 relevant offers per page with clear, contextual calls-to-action.
  • Add focused content: create product/category pages with honest short reviews, comparisons, and a clear CTA or affiliate link.
  • Put a visible affiliate disclosure and trust signals (simple privacy/about page, SSL, contact info).

Short-term technical fixes:

  • Register a domain and use responsive, fast hosting; improve mobile layout and page speed with tools like PageSpeed Insights (Google PSI).
  • Install analytics and Google Search Console to track sessions, CTR, conversion rate, and search queries.
  • Use heatmaps/session recordings and A/B tests to validate ad placement changes.

Longer-term growth:

  • Focus on a smaller niche, publish regular content, build an email capture flow, and pursue targeted promotion (organic + niche social).
  • Switch from raw banner density to contextual text links, comparison pages, and curated product lists that match visitor intent.

For technical SEO basics and best practices, follow Google’s SEO starter guidance (Google Search Central). For affiliate disclosure/legal basics, see the FTC guidance on endorsements ().
