My thinking was that I was not only adding content to my existing site but also creating stand-alone pages to temptrepparttar search engine ‘spiders’ to locate them in appropriate new categories based onrepparttar 108794 power of my keyword selection.

In short, it worked, and worked spectacularly.

For one of these keyword phrases I ended up with TEN additional No.1 ranking spots plus dozens of complementary positions ranging from 1-30 on Google, Yahoo, Teoma, AOL, MSN and All The Web. You can evidence an example of this for yourself by entering ‘start a business masterplan’ into either Google or AOL. It should show up at No.1.

So far so good, and then within hours of being listed, came further success.

1. The downloads on my freebie ebook were phenomenal and continue to escalate.

2. Orders for Product No.1 started to roll in, a trickle at first, then increasing in number.

I haven’t re-inventedrepparttar 108795 wheel, but maybe, just maybe, I’ve developed it a smidgeon. Whatever, now I can set about developing my new web business…

However, if you want to get up and running fast, or just don’t haverepparttar time to go on a search for wholesale distributors much less ones that drop ship, thenrepparttar 108793 way to go is drop ship directories. These are usually pay services that search out drop shippers for you then give you access to their contacts; there are many of these onrepparttar 108794 Internet today, and many are very good. As with anything onrepparttar 108795 Internet you must be very careful ofrepparttar 108796 scams out there. Many drop ship directories will end up giving you an outdated list of wholesalers, or when you contact them you will find that they are a true wholesale distributor but they do not drop ship.

Here are some pieces of advice when looking for a quality drop ship directory: §Stay away fromrepparttar 108797 cheap ones! Obviously with everything else in this world you will get what you pay for. If you find one out their for three dollars, you probably are not going to get a good product. In generalrepparttar 108798 one’s that offerrepparttar 108799 best information are charging $60 or more for a six month membership. §Look for one’s that will do specialty searches! If you get into a drop ship directory and find that they do not have any products that you would like to sell, or think you can sell, then make sure they will go out and find it for you. If they do not do specialty searches then you will end up being stuck with whatever listings they have no matter what. §Find one with a Satisfaction Guarantee! There are several drop ship directories out there that offer a guarantee that all of their listings are true drop shippers, but in my opinion this is not enough. If you get into their directory and find that they have five hundred listings for widget suppliers and they are all real wholesalers you are out your money and only have access to one product. Make sure they guarantee your satisfaction with their product no matter what, especially if you are going to shell out seventy dollars of your hard earned money. §Look for ones that are going to help you out as well, not just give you a list. Do they offer articles and help material on starting your business or are all they just going to give you listings and nothing else.

However you choose to find wholesale drop shipping, keep in mind that as with anything else in this world knowledge is power. Try and find out as much as you can before you jump in to get your feet wet. It will make your startup smoother and help you getrepparttar 108800 profitability stage much faster.
