Internet Marketing is something that I always wanted to learn. It’s a whole new ball game to me, but it doesn’t look too difficult.

You make good point on the blog content. Content is always the king.

Regarding to Alex ranking. I still believe they separate the subdomain. Just look at blogspot.com blog. All blogs have their own Alexa ranking. I did not mention other other thoughts in the post, because I am not so sure that is happening now.

Alexa traffic can be easily manipulated, however, to get to the top 2000, you really need to work on getting loads of traffic. It gives your ad publisher some idea how much your ad worth. With your high Alexa ranking, publish is more likely will want to advertise for you.

I am not sure I agree with the Alexa statement for a few reasons:

it only really seems to have use for me, the store owner to see how my site compares with other sites.

I was going to say “I can add up the separate domains traffic on Alexa to find my total. This way, I can also differentiate my traffic levels too.” but then I remembered that Alexa does not differentiate the traffic after all. It is all lumped together (main and subdomains) Try it using microsoft.com and office.microsoft.com (etc…)

One other useful purpose of the blog is to highlight new product as it comes in. This way the blogs freshness corresponds with your stores freshness and vice versa. Even writing user contributed stories can build loyal community if you can get that kind of content.

It’s built-in in the template. Thank you for visit.

Thank you for stopping by. Your dad is right. It’s about buy and sell. Without buying need, there won’t needs to sell.

I don’t think you need to wait until summer. Many entrepreneurs start with full time job. Don’t give you any excuse to postpone your plan. Time is never enough. You need to reduce the time you spent on watching foot ball, attending party and get drunk etc. Don’t wait until you have no excuse to wait. When you getting older, you will have no energy to digest your excuse.

If you read my 30%-70% e-commerce golden rule, you probably know that you will spent a lot of time marketing your business. You spent 30% of your effort to find the good quality HC related products and 70% of time marketing your store and your blog. So why not get a domain name and start with your blog first. Leave your store empty for now. It takes time to build up your relationship with search engine and readers.

So don’t wait. You can contact me off-line about your idea. I would love to exchange ideas with you.
