About Us:


Stephen
When I. S. Burton started buying eBay websites, over 6 years ago, I knew nothing about the ‘hows’ and ‘whats’, in other words the modes and methods, of the hosting business.

I spent huge sums of money on various eBooks’ programs. You may have even heard about some of them, say for instance Big Dogs. Most of these were cons, as you would be selling their products and then would end up paying them to sell these. You would be promoting them, rather than yourself and would still have to pay them.

It is true that you could make money in this manner but it would be a difficult task, as you would need sales leads (prospective sales). As already mentioned, we are the owners of gaming sites, and yet we have people requesting us to allow them to have some of our hosting space. So here we are, hosting for you. From web hosting to image hosting, we do it all. In our attempt to add more clarity to the picture, let us consider a question.

WHO DO YOU THINK MADE THE MOST MONEY IN THE GOLD RUSH? WERE THEY THE MINERS, OR WERE THEY THE SHOPKEEPERS THAT SOLD THE TOOLS TO THE MINERS?

In order to analyze the subject in the light of this question, let us consider the webmasters to be the miners (of the Gold Rush), and the people selling you the next best eBooks that drive traffic to be the shopkeepers (of the Gold Rush).

I hope, now you have a clearer understanding of the idea. What you could do is buy an eBay website and then host it somewhere else. It would be great if you do it HERE. We could certainly do a neat job for you.

Firstly, take a look at your website and see if it has good content. What I mean by good content is content that has all your keywords in place. If your keywords are not in place, or for that matter if you do not understand keywords too well, do read up on keywords and get updated on the subject.

Following this, you will require good links (of websites) with a PR (Page Rank) that is higher than that of your website. The best way for you to make the link of your website popular would be to place your URL in your signature and post some content and keywords from your site on public forums. However, take care not to spam.

You could also submit your link to free directories. Encourage webmasters of websites with high PRs to link to your site so that you have your link placed on these sites. Swapping links is a good idea but the best way is to have back links, i.e. links that lead to your website. Once you have done this, you can go to Google and add your link in the directory so that your website is ’spidered’ and appears in the Google search results. You could do the same for Yahoo and MSN (now called LIVE) as well, and thereby, get your site enlisted in these search engines too.

You do not need to hire or pay anyone for this but can do it on your own. The PPC (Pay per click) program is also a good service that search engines offer. In such a program you will need to pay a marginal fee to place your advertisement and then continue to pay for each click that your advertisement receives. It is a good program, as you have to pay only when you receive clicks.

Google AdWords is an example of such a program. On completing the above-mentioned procedures, sit back and watch the results of your hard work. However, do not expect to witness rushing web traffic so soon. It is now time to step up and get more hits (web traffic to your website).

I will be posting a weekly report enlisted with expired domains. In this report you will find domain names that people have discarded, or simply felt tired of. Over 30000 domain names return into circulation everyday, and about 60000 new domain names are added. Several expired domains may be still getting web traffic and may have numerous links in it. So, you can take advantage of this, buy the domain name and direct it to your website either through the domain host or cPanel. This would automatically translate into increased traffic.

The best way to further enhance your web traffic is to place advertisements in newspapers and magazines or even your car. A car banner with the URL of your website could work wonders. Despite doing all that needs to be done, if you continue to have low sales, you need to ask yourself whether your price is too high or too low. A different level of evaluation could also lead you to revise your price.

For instance, if you are trying to sell something at 99.99 and that is the number that the Internet game uses, you could try using a different strategy. Make an announcement on your website that says that your product that had been priced at 149.97 is now available at a sale price of 97.00 for 30 days. 97, indeed, seems to be a magic number on the web. In case you are selling cheaper items, you could use the figure, say 12.97.

This could work well. Now take a look at your website and see whether it looks like a website that real people run, or like one of those million other websites that sell some junk and are all alike. If your website now looks good and the prices are also right, ensure that you have an online help desk or a contact form (refer to our form page) on the website so that people can contact you. We wish you good luck and great success. Hope you do well.
