Is your site doing well ?

How long have you been doing it for ?

[Len]

Hi,

Yes, pretty well. To be honest I use ebay as a trawl for customers (as well as search engines), which works quite well :wink: Know I'm not supposed to, but.......... I just keep forgetting to delete that signature at the bottom of my emails when replying to ebay customers, which points to the website :roll:

Anyway they make enough money out of me to forget that little discretion (I hope)

Been selling on the website now for about 3 years, on ebay for about 5 years.

Started selling jewellery, but moved onto findings & beads after a couple of years.

That cool... congrats....

I hear about so many people having problems selling crafts online...

Its a hard market.....

dead right there, its a beast. All you need is patience though. Everything on the net is slow to start, unless you're willing to pay a small fortune to get your rankings up on the search engines. Mine are starting to improve now, I think its down to 'reciprocal linkage' . I have definately seen an increase in the search engine placement since I added it to the site. Also forums are supposedly very good for ranging as well I've been told :wink:

Must have dreamt it :cry:

You did,
But:Your trial ran out on the 23 April 2004…..
I ran trials before subsrciption....
You never paid for incusison....

Sorry!

The directory can't work without subscriptions... The site won't make a profit for aleast 2 years in £££ terms.... hopefull in 2 years it will be big enough to make a profit but all the subsriptions go stright into advertising the site making it big better and more powerfull.... Its working at the present hofefully it will keep on growing...

[Len]

Ahh, i see, the notification about the subscription must have came in when I was in hospital :cry:

Will sort it soon :)

Hi there

Thank you for visiting my site dand for your comments - Will pass them onto the girl who manages it for me - Love your site - and WOW it's fast loading, I am on a farm dial up line here in deepest darkest rural France, and your site just flashes up!!

Like the colours!!

I was really lucky with the SE's especially with my French site www.silicasec.com - Got onto the first page of Google in my first month - Guess that was because Gel de Silice is such an obscure product out here - Batteling my way up through Google with the UK site, but then there is a lot more competition!

Being a small internet business in my first year, how about a forum for us little guys who hav e questions like.....Where have all the clients gone this month?? August was DIRE and I really don't know if it was just me!

Lordy I am waffeling - Cheers!

[Len]

Hi Carola-Ann

Glad you like the site :)

Where have all the clients gone this month?? August was DIRE and I really don't know if it was just me!


Nope, me as well, got so bad I ended up paranoid, even changed my aftershave and trimmed my beard, didn't work :cry:

Starting to pick up again now though, even ebays starting to move again

Google playing in a big way at the present with new sites and sites that sell. Google value the age of a site. Less than a year your value is very very low... Once you pass the year marker life will get a lot easier and better... This could be one of the reasons for the low amount of sales..

If your site does will in yahoo then its only a matter of time before its starts kicking off in google... But remeber one thing... Google loves links to your site... the more the better...

(this is very basic but i could go on for days about google search results and by the time i'd finsished writing it would have all changed!!!)


Hope this helps....

Hi 10, can I callyou that for short??

Thanks for the info and encouragement - I know it takes a while to get good rankings, but up untill August my sales per visit ratio was quite good, well I was happy with it anyway - Then August happened and while my visits didn't drop off much at all, sales were truly horrible - Still things are picking up now - It's all numbers isn't it?
