Things i learned from my experience that i would like to share.
1. Submit your sites to major companies like
google - Add your URL to Google (http://www.google.com/addurl/)
yahoo(always slow in processing but still important) - Site Explorer - Yahoo! Site Explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com)
msn(microsoft still rules the pc world) - Bing URL Submission (http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx)
alexa - Alexa Internet - Update Your Listing (http://www.alexa.com/edit)
2. Never submit under construction/ unfinished websites to seo. Once they blacklist it, it is very difficult to get back to the top
3. See that your home page tells the world what your business is. Keywords are most important.
4. Keep changing the contents in your home page every month, that will attract more search bots, which is a good thing.
5. Not too many pictures in the home page.Balance again with key words!
6. To attract more customers, use mild, warm back ground colors. Black is a big no no.This will not take away the attention from the products!
7.Keep adding discount, coupons, send newsletters, update in facebook, twitter, blogs, myspace etc..
8. Be polite to customers, the more emotions you show, the cheap you will look. Think Customer is always right. Petty things under $5 is better to let it go than asking them to send back the items so you can refund.
9. Try giving away to charities, missions once a month, to make yourself feel better
10. Last but not the least..Your family needs you first. Make a schedule for your work and not for your kids.
Not more than 3 hours a day for your work. Spend time with them..Once everybody climbs up the bed at night, make a cup of coffee and start working but go to bed before 12..
Initial start is always difficult, once everything is set up, just sit back and fill orders!HTH:)
