Well, I think you need to break down into smaller parts in order to analyze the picture more better clarity. First, are there any traffic to your site? If yes, your analytics should give you some clues why are they not converting. If you have little or no traffic, then try to optimize for long tail keywords like 'green contact lenses' first and create a web page for that.

I agree and check you stats or sign up with Google analytics which is free and see how many visitors you are getting on a typical day. After checking what words are bringing you more traffic then check what is your bounce rate and what pages your clients leave on and the length of time they stay on it. With regards to your statement of "backlink stuff and directory submissions" keep in mind it takes time and a lot patience to see some of traffic come from your serp.

Directory submission is okay but don't waste much time for that. Select useful keywords for your site and use them properly within your site. Use unique and informative content for your site and try to get quality backlinks for your site. These steps if you follow properly then you can expect to get target traffic to your site. But you need to work hard a lot. Blogging, forum posting, articles, press relaese, social bookmarking and networking are such steps that one should follow to get good visitors to site.
