The alternative health industry continues to grow along with the
number of "herbal products." As the industry is primarily unregulated,
the number of substandard products continues to grow. We produce
"legitimate" 100% pure botanical oil products that are based on solid
research and testing. We are attempting to break into the herbal
online products market and have constructed a series of professional
ecommerce Websites. It appears that those entities that dominate both
popularity and traffic within the herbal remedy space have spent a
significant amount of time tailoring content and building links to
become popular. We wish to "meet" consumer expectation and increase
conversion ratios without having to spend significant amounts of money
on Ad campaigns (i.e. Google) and we do not wish to wait until our
Websites gain the necessary popularity or traffic to increase sales.
We have explored a number of options including: strategic partnering,
building "funnel sites" and conducting "link exchanges" and are in the
process of building additional content around product  groups. In
short, we need a "winning" formula of what specifically to do to
become financially successful within a very competitive and clogged
space. Please reply with a "clear and specific" proven ecommerce
strategy.
