BANS - My Progress Report No 2

ebay-empire.gifIt’s been almost a month since my last report so here’s my progress so far.

I now have 11 stores. It’s been fun developing the stores but hard work to make them different from all the other stores out there!My traffic has been somewhat erratic, mainly I think due to Google! For one of my stores I tend to check how it’s doing in Google by using one of the less competitive keywords. Some days that keyword is #1 then it drops out of sight! That’s happened more than once so I don’t think it can be the sandbox effect. My traffic drops through the floor of course when this happens.

How To: Add an Amazon Feed to Your Site - Super Easy!

rssfeedreader-header.jpg

I recently signed up as an associate of Amazon. I don’t know if it’s just me but I find their associate pages very confusing!

There doesn’t seem to be a way to make a feed that includes articles/books filtered for your keywords. If anyone knows how to do it please share with us! I’ve searched through the forum and haven’t found anything. The best that seems to be possible is to make a feed with their own selection of articles/books from broad categories. Even then I found it hard to sort out how to do it.
