The New Site Blues
Hi Everybody,
I hope everyone is enjoying the Labor day weekend. I will spend most of it in front of the computer but that’s OK.
I have really been going at it full force the last two weeks or so. Trying to get a new site Gulf Coast Spy Gear is so much work. Build it right from the start and save myself the aggravation of going back to fix things later.
The site is now 50 days old. Just a baby in the online world. Here is what I have been working on.
- Building links
- submitting to directories
- keywords
The link building is quite a challenge. I am concentrating on one way links right now and avoiding the others. When I use link checking tools I keep getting drastically different numbers. One says I have 11. One says 32. Another says 591. Guess which one I an using.
Also using Website grader everyday. Have gained 6 points in about four days. I try not to fixate on the numbers but it helps to know I am on the right track.
Most of the directories I have submitted to have 4-6 month review times. Hard work now that I am hoping will pay off later. Will start submitting to shopping directories later this week.
My search engine work has been going pretty well. Using the keyword phrase Professional Spy Gear is working so far. On Yahoo I am still on page one, fifth entry down. Google has moved me from the middle of page 6 all the way to the fifth entry on page three. Not bad, thanks Google.
So I do not know why I am down. I think everything is going well but things take time. I just have no patience I guess.
Talk to you soon
