Social and Bloggers

Today I have worked extensively on expanding my social network presence. I like to use HootSuite (free edition) in order to post to Facebook,Twitter,Google+, and LinkedIn all at the same time. It is a wonderful tool to save a lot of time. However I am having troubles getting followers to engage in my posts. any suggestions?
I am currently talking with several lingerie bloggers about posting a review of my website to increase visits. I had one Chinese finance blog do a review on my website which, to my surprise, brought quite a handful of visitors to my website. Most spending more than 1 minute on the site. So now I am targeting bloggers that blog about topics that relate to what I am selling so as to build my reputation. Hope this works!


Thank you for reading. :)

Progression

So I am currently in the process of added more products daily to my store. I find it an effective way to attract customers and also it saves a lot of time to work on other aspects of my store. For example, if I add 10 products a day (1 hour of work) compared to if I add 100 products (2 days work). Also it gives an incentive to potential customer to revisit my website daily to see if I added new products that they might be interested in.

Today I have found one very important factor that I have previously overlooked. And that is the keyword search within my website. I have overlooked this because I was too concerned with adding more products and attracting more visitors that I completely forgot how important this is. For example, I see that a recent visitor has searched for "fishnet" and got a total of 4 results, when in reality throughout my store there are at over 30 products that are associated with the keyword "fishnet." (see for yourself) By not providing the results of all the 30+ products I steered the customer away from my website because they only saw a selection of 4 products. I am definitely going to start working and improving this aspect of my website. Through using a heat map tool for my website (www.crazyegg.com), I found that more people search for specific keywords than people that just browse through my selection based on the categories. That puts this issue near the top on my list priorities.

Social

So I am having trouble retaining likes and follows. I do not know what I could be doing wrong, but for every follow or like that I get, 2 people unlike/unfollow. Also last week I saw a 338% increase in traffic but this week I am seeing a decrease by an average of 49%, day to day. I am doing everything I was doing before, I do not know what has changed to cause such a decrease.

So I have recently started my own website business. I am using a dropshipper in order to sell my products. I am selling lingerie but I have only had 1 customer within 1 month. I am currently looking for ways to market and grow. I have lately found fiverr.com to be very useful for marketing and research. I used Google Adwords but that is too expensive for each click. I also like to use StumbleUpon paid discovery service. I believe it is effective because it costs only .10 per stumble and also you get about a quarter or fifth of the visits for free. It also lets you choose the categories for the stumblers. So I am selling lingerie so I did shopping and beauty. You can also choose to target only women or men (in my case women) and you can even pick age groups.
