Is this poor conversion or not?

What are you trying to sell? If it's the site in your profile I couldn't find anything except adsense in the 30 seconds I was there. Not many will stick around as long as I did. I'm assuming your site relies on adsense only?

Have you ruled out the possibility that a bug might exist?

Nah its not the site listed in teh profile, thats just adsense/SEO test site = rubbish.

Possibly, this store is not a disaster story at all.

If you just quickly prepared a site to find out if there is life in that niche, you just know now more than before it; if it did not cost you too much in terms of work/time/money, it was definitely worth trying!

What I'd consider disaster story is working 70 hours/week 2 years long and finally get a result not much better than this one.

Oh no it wasnt anything like that more like knocked up over a weekend for teh hell of it.

I am finding however that people arecoming to the site for niche information on the subject which is an area Ill expand upon, so it could yet bea success.

Or though it would be as a content site.
