I don't think it's anything against your site. It's just that people don't always remember who has what when you're following so many members unless you're in constant contact with them.

Where's your site? It sounds like something I'd love!

I love books, and I have many on my own 1st site, but so far no conversion. I have three non-Amazon bookstores listed, too.

I think books is perhaps just a saturated market....I would love to buy through your site, but I will tell you that Amazon is NOT where I would go.....if you are using Amazon, be aware that they won't even 'qualify for payment' anyone who they determine is someone 'you know'.

And it's very possible that other members here will be flagged as 'someone you know'. What other bookstores do you affiliate with?

Hey Juli, your business should not rely on WA members' recommendations! In this business it is primarily about getting ranked in google etc. and getting visitors from there.
Just searched on Google for Jools Sinclair (your latest post) and found it on page 2, position 4. As a beginner myself I would say this not too bad (given the heavy competition).

Only problem with this is that evrryone here does not know who has what on there sites. Maybe we can get Kyle and Carson to add a tab where everyone can post what there site is offering.
