Yeah its good haha. The products seem to be random and slightly crazy but i like it for some reason.

**Lambo** · 06-08-2009 06:22 AM

yeah the products range from hookah pipes to sunglasses haha...im gonna organize it better and tweak as time goes on.

Hookah is still popular?

The Amazon functionality and experience is good, as usual. The images in your header are kinda grainy.

What's your strategy for driving traffic?

I agree with trafficvault. The images are not very clear

I feel the pics are not standing out enough. You could play around with different bacgrounds and see if it happens.
I've seen lots of people smoke hookahs and one of the best parts is when you see an old man with a serene face drawing at one. A possibility is to have a person in the picture with a calm face showing.
Best

So you have selected some products from Amazon to sell from your site rather than running your own shopping cart software?
Site needs some SEO at least to get visitors, feel free to add it to Undiscovered Web Directory.

**Lambo** · 06-09-2009 05:54 AM

I will be fixing the images....thanks for the comments.

As for driving traffic, at this point my strategy will depend on some SEO tactics, articles, forum marketing, blogs and possibly creating a video for youtube and similar sites.

Any other advice for driving traffic?

Try some of the social shopping sites- Shopit.com for example

**Gaulkin** · 06-09-2009 05:23 PM

I personally would not buy from the website simply because of how it was designed, no offense of course.

**TrafficVault** · 06-11-2009 10:58 AM

I took another look- I would drop the scarves, sunglasses, etc. Keep it hookah centric.

I'd also spend some time around your market to understand the ins-outs better. Google Hookah Forums. (I was surprised to find so many!)

If you intend to really sell, you'll need to improve the shopping experience as Gaulkin has mentioned. It gives me the "I don't really feel secure buying from this website" feeling.
