My wife and I run three websites together. In 2002, our
primary income-making website's market was undergoing a dramatic change.
Our normal source of customers had started to dry up. Our mailing list
wasn't producing the results it once did and the profits from online
auctions were being eaten up by their listing fees and other expenses. We needed to
develop new marketing strategies and make them work in a hurry. This
process led me to quickly absorb everything I could find about how search engines
operate and how to get the most out of their services. In less than 60
days after making some simple changes to our websites to suit the search engines, I had
more than doubled the amount of traffic they generated for our businesses. We were
suddenly outranking big companies like Disney, Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us,
Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, as well as a host of medium-sized
art galleries and dozens of amateur websites who were all offering the same
goods and services as we were. With even more effort, after 90 days I had more than tripled our
traffic from search engines. When people searched for our vital keywords,
they found our website quickly and our listings highlighted the information that
made us look professional and reliable.
The above was written in February of 2003. Today, I'm still
getting better results with rounghly 5 times the traffic we were getting in August 2002,
and even higher sales increases. And I expect that number to grow even higher as I begin to
focus more closely on our
second website - Rainbo Electronic Reviews,
which is a book review website. To date, I had only done a general tune-up for that
website because main website, Rainbo Animation Art, pays the bills
and the competition for the search term "book reviews" is enormous. The New York Times, The
Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and dozens of other
major corporations all have book reviews. We're currently ranking so low for the
term "book reviews" that its embarassing. But we do have niches where we do pretty
well, like "children's books reviews" and "audiobook reviews" and
so I intend to focus on those terms to get the most traffic for my effort and to
slowly bring up the result for the infinitely more difficult "book reviews."
