My progress was being tracked here, and I hated the title so I wanted to change over to the Fastlane.

This is my first run at an E-commerce site, and I have all of the tools set up. WVO, Clicky, SEO plugins, etc

My only problem is gauging how much interaction with the site is enough. Right now I am bringing in visitors via adwords (About 50), and while some navigate - I have had no takers on the product. This may be due to a number of things ($, the fact that it is on pre-order, shitty cart processing), but when should I be ready to validate my product/site?

My Commandment of Need is my only question because many people buy this product - just not in my form because it is the first of its kind.

Nonetheless, I will only have to invest about $300 upfront to get the supplies I need (bottling, product, labels) *Does anyone know a $ efficient label supplier?


Going forward in the next week:
1) Write more content on with 5% kw content (I only have 5 posts).
2) Murder my case competition in 3 days so I have time to work on this (mandatory for my school)
3) Juggle these things along with my internship (luckily its paid :)
