Within about 3 months, my sites were listed on Google, Ask Jeeves, Excite and several others when
exact website name was entered--- a big step forward. I still had made only a few sales and noone had found my sites by using
search engines. I decided to focus my attention on only one site, www.webmastersprofitpak.net, because it was
only site that had any sales and
profit margin was highest on that site.
I began to experiment with advertising. I opened Overture, Google Adwords , Mamma, and Kanoodle accounts. I signed up for Adsense. I bought ezine ads, and visitors from Traffic Taxi, did a popunder ad and newsletter ad with bravenet.com. I signed up with companies that pay people to visit your site, I tried an adblast---all with little or no results. I found site-reference.com and bought ads for
software site in
newsletter. Finally, I began to make some sales..
But to stay in business long-term and to reduce advertising costs, I needed to be able to make sales based on search engine results. I bought some site submission software which I now sell and began to submit my sites page by page. I also signed up with Microsoft bcentral.com and began to optimize my website pages.
Now, after six months, one of my sites has a great Google page rank. www.webmastersprofitpak.net ranks 3. Website traffic is about a 2,000 hits/week. I have high hopes for 2005! I have learned a lot in
past six months especially about search engine submission, optimization, directories, and links. See www.webmastersprofitpak..net for Reseller Tips.
