Pressure makes diamonds



One of the categories which seems to be filling up nicely is the animal ads, in particular the dogs.

We have breeders and a pet matching service who have recently joined up. Of particular note is the cute little capuchin monkey photographed in a dress. The monkey I love, the dress, I mean white. I struggle with white, my 9 year old is incapable of wearing white for more than am millisecond without staining it.

The ads are coming in thick & fast now. We have adverts for hotels, computers, iphones, cameras, ipods, mp3s, mens gadgets, clothing, jewellry, dvds, music, escort service, taxi, games consoles, a huge range of collectables and property in the UK, Spain, Egypt, Dubai and Cyprus. There is a huge range of business opportunities and even a charity. Please forgive me if I have left your ad out. But they are really becoming too numerous to mention.

All of these ads are added on to our Tweet Adder and Twittered in rotation 24 hrs a day. I strongly recommend this program. I no longer babysit my Twitter account. By spending 20 minutes a day I can maximise my results, but you don't even need to do that! I can now go on holiday and know that my Tweets are being Twittered, my following is growing and my new follower receive a welcome message with a link to the site.

Our Alexa rankings continue to climb. I have been looking at other sites to see how well they rank, & more importantly why. One comparable site I knew to be only a few months old ranks amazingly well in Alexa. I studied the history of the domain and found that whilst the site was new, the domain was not. The company had bought a well ranked domain and re hashed it. This is a great short cut, will save you either loads of money or loads of time. A well ranked site generally gets much more traffic. More traffic equals more sales.

There is a direct correlation of visitor numbers & hours spent in front of a computer working the site. I can measure this daily & consequently I feel that when I am not working, I am not pushing the site, or working hard enough for the partners. In a nutshell "The harder I work, the luckier I get!"
