I vote for 3. You already have a product that you need to promote. However, boosting your page rank? Page rank is 4 and you're already number 1 in google for "grafting tool". Are you sure you have a pageview and pagerank problem? Maybe you want to rank for gardening tools as well? Create some content on the website to increase your ranking for long tail keywords, and participate in gardening forums and communities would be a start (building backlinks at the same time).

Thanks for the feedback! But are you sure your not just seeing me as number 1, with your own personal google goggles? When I search from a new browser, with no cookies I actually appear down the bottom of the 1st page. At least here in Australia. Where are you located? As for PR 4 - wow! When did that happen. Last time I checked it was a big fat 0. Guess google has updated their index.

  Ah yeah, could be. I'm currently in Vietnam. Through my VPN in UK you also show up as number 1. How can a website hosted in Australia shows up higher in Vietnam and UK than Australia? Except if competition for grafting tools is fierce down under, of course ;-)

  Showing up #1 for me too :) Where in Australia are you based?

    Melbourne. Well, this certainly makes me re-think my strategy. Here I was thinking I was getting no hits, because I was down the bottom of the search results, while it turns out I am #1 across most of the world! Unfortunately pageviews and conversions are still terrible. I just need to figure out what to do about it.

      There was a refresh in Pagerank a few days ago. Maybe turn the front page into a longer form sales pitch? How many sales are you doing?

        At the moment: not many sales at all. My last one was 3 weeks ago to the day! However its very seasonal - during winter in the northern hemisphere, I will get 1 or 2 a week. Thanks for the suggestion on the front page.
