Please help! About 7 months ago I paid someone to set my store up http://soccercoachingequipment.com/

Since then, I have had about 3 orders. I used to average about 20 a month. I've been so busy with work I haven't had time to fuss around with it. What is wrong with my store? Why isnt anyone buying anything? Please advise! I need help! The site takes about 1000 visitors a month.!!

Thanks in advance!

1000 visits a month.. I doubt that. Maybe a 1000 page views.

No SEO, NO H1 tags. Very little keyword focus.

Making a website and putting it live is the first step. You have to spend time on your site everyday if you wish to build a business.

I suggest that you take the time to read the forum rules. You are asking for a review in the wrong forum, and your site does not qualify for a review here. Add the osCommerce link to your footer and ask a moderator to move this to the right forum.

No offense but, personally, I would never order from a store like that.

You have no *real* contact information; address, phone #, etc.
Your names are anonymously listed as John D. & Jeff D. Doe brothers, perhaps? B)
Your FAQ, Privacy, Guarantee and Resources pages are blank.
Your domain registration is hiding behind Domains By Proxy
and the #1: Your shopping cart isn't secure. You want my credit card #? Think again!

I wouldn't place an order on a site like that in a million years due to that last one alone, but factor in the others...no way.

If you paid somebody to do SEO, they did an extremely bad job. No traffic = no sales.

Install Google analytics to get more accurate data on the traffic.

You may also want to install the Recover Cart Sales addon. If you are getting a lot of abandoned carts, it is about the only way to know about it and to allow you to easily contact those lost customers.

Site looks ok.

Empty pages like faq and other pages
No header tags for search engines - very little details on products (products imported via csv?)
I searched your site for soccer balls and returned 2 products...argg gimme balls
