One thing I need to sort out is why my SCC cart doesn't seem to be getting picked up by search engines as much as my Buy It Sell It store. Something to add to my to do list.
Having an online presence is one thing Sally, getting your site found is another thing altogether. There is much talk of search engine optimisation (SEO) as a means of getting people to your site, but there are only
ten spaces on the front page of Google and you have to ask yourself how many pages will folks go back to look at other sites?

Herein lies the whole problem of online trading Sally. There are two types of online enterprises, those that have existing businesses to which the internet is a supplementary income stream and businesses that exist
only on the internet such as Amazon. Unless you cater for a genuine niche market (actual not perceived), then the internet is like a vast filing cabinet in which tens of thousands of sites can (and will) literally get lost forever. Shop owners need to devote as much time to offline marketing as they do to online marketing to generate a reasonable online income. Most of the shops that simply put a site up and waited for the cash to come rolling in, are long since out of business now.
