Hi I've set up a shopify site. I decided to give shopify a go as I'm getting requests from clients for ecommerce and already do wordpress and custom carts but wanted to try and find a low cost offering for small businesses. The url for my concept test is (it's live and all setup)

http://nzsunglasses.co.nz

It redirects to

nzsunglasses.myshopify.com

It has good products but I csn't seem to get any traffic (like 5 visits in 3 weeks). Adwords hasn't delivered any impressions, posibbly because it's a very competitive category. Maybe it's the redirect but I've but I've a/b tested urls and even used.

Any suggestions much appreciated

I'm not clear on what you want help on here. Are you looking for a custom shopping cart solution or improve on driving traffic to your site?

I'm going to assume you're trying to improve your traffic, but it's not clear on what you've tested or tried. There's a wealth of knowledge on the web, but from your initial request it doesn't sound like you've done your homework and you want me to point you in the right direction. So start with this: http://blog.appsumo.com/getting-the-most-from-setting-up-a-n... for starter information.

Thank you so much for the reply. I should be more concise.

1-I am a developer.

2-I have tested shopify as a concept as it would be a good fit for small retailors to dip their toe in the water

3-I have done sccessful ad campaigns in the past for clients (one client has contributed over 750k in adword related sales for a campaign although they were a decent sized company with good market share already :) )

4-I am testing how adwords works with shopify. All adwords ads are approved and active

5-My 'test' shopify site has not generated a single adwords impression in 2 weeks

6-This is really odd.

7-I have tried to contact google and to read everything I can to see if this problem has come up for others and can't get any traction

8-I just need a fresh perspective as I'm at my wits end

Main question: Have I missed anything obvious that is causing me to be ignored by adwords. I get the horrible feeling that I've overlooked something obvious. I'm not trying to get you to generate me more traffic I just wanted you to have a quick look and say whether you can see a probelm

I've tried

-A/B testing of ads

-Using both redirect url and shopify domains in ads

-Targeted really non competitive key words and searched for them directly in Google to see if I can get adwords to acknoledge my ads

-My campaign has hundreds of keyword recommendations from the adwords keyword generator.

-Would it have been better to use Exact match domains and targeted a 'selling' word(s) for the sites name?

Occam's Razor suggests that this is a average site in a competitive market that is a hard(ish) sell to customers?

I really don't want to waste your time so sorry. I just need a fresh pair of eyes pls
