Obviously we were trying to explain to you why your sales were flat.

Mypregnantpictures uses the same exact design as the site we commented on so if you want to take advantage of a jump in Google traffic, following Gonzo's advice will certainly help, but get rid of Verotel if you do nothing else.

As for your other question, Google traffic always goes through cycles with dips and peaks. If they change something in an algorithm it might benefit your site because your SEO works but it can just as easily go the other way the next time they change something. I doubt if there will be a time where everyone experiences some kind of surge all at the same time.
Hey Hammer,

Everyone gave a lot of much appreciated and respected advice. I've already started making changes to jj.com . I'll also apply it to mpp.com and see what happens.

The second part of my question was being baffled by conversion ratios I guess. I mean, if I have a site that converts at 1:450 during a regular month with normal traffic trades, shouldn't that ratio roughly maintain with an extra 7k Google visitors? Shouldn't I get ~ 14 more sign ups? I know it wouldn't be exactly the same, but to see NO increase in sign-ups got me scratching my head.
