New Site Launched!
Registered a couple of new domains this week and have just got the first site built.
This site will be known as site #19 and has been made using HTML & CSS and is based around the template of one of my most popular sites so far. I decided to give WordPress a miss this time as although it is easy to setup and use I miss the customizability you get with an HTML site.
I have used ECU to make a basic price comparison page but the main landing page just has product descriptions with links to the merchants. This is the method that has worked best for me so far. All items are over£40 so I should get at least £2 per sale. The exact local search volume for April 2009 was 14,000 so if I get to the top of page one I should get 40% of that which is 5,600 hits per month. If 1% of those visitors buys the cheapest item I will earn £112 per month. A lot of ifs there but we shall see…
To get the site indexed I have bookmarked it in digg, delicious and left one comment on a new blog. If it doesn’t get indexed in the next few days I will do the Gumtree method.
re: your linkbuilding, i think you’re going to need to do more than digg and a comment, my suggestion is spend an hour and just do a whole load of directory submissions, it would also be great i if could have a look at the site, perhaps I’ll be able to offer a little more feedback
Those links are just to get the site indexed.
But you are right, I should spend some time doing submissions. Can you recommend any where in particular I should be submitting the site?
Can I PM you the site url?
That was quick, the site was indexed less than 12 hours later. All pages too!
Better get the next one done.
Hiya, congrats on your new ventures.
Seems to me that your site and my site were google-indexed at the same time although my site was a month old and yours was a day old. Hmmm…
I tried to sumbit my site to Gumtree, but there wasn’t a directory there that was appropriate for ladies clothing, so I did not submit it.
Try twitter, it worked for me. My site came up in google searches through twitter before it was indexed by Google itself.
I like your approach. Good luck with it all!!
