What is Your Website Telling YOU?

Sometimes you just have to step back and let your work talk to you a little. It's so easy to get too single-minded and driven that you can't hear what your product is trying to tell you.

I've been up and running now since August 2, 2014. I have 33 quality posts, fully indexed media, rankings that are growing regularly. I've learned a lot about my craft by baking regularly and reviewing lots of products, reading lots of baking blogs. I've had fun . . . but now I'm ready to tear things up a bit.

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I finally signed up for Jaaxy. I highly recommend it. I've gone through every post and reviewed every key word. I researched MANY more keywords and improved all of them tremendously. Already I've seen my search traffic almost doubling in just the 3 days since re-indexing. My actual click count has more than doubled. What this tells me is that people are searching for what I'm offering, seeing what I'm offering, and responding to what I'm offering. Very exciting to watch.

In looking at my affiliate reports, I'm now getting clicks on the ads from almost every affiliate. I've had two sales, but lots more clicks than I've seen to date. So now I'm refining my affiliates, too. I'm applying for more, I'm dropping the less productive ones, changing my ads around and making sure I'm offering the latest, best banners. I pay attention to the affiliates' offers, coupons, promotions, and change my ads regularly.

However, there is one particular element of my site that is really seeing a lot of traffic, and I'm looking at spinning that off on it's own. This would mean creating another web site entirely. I don't go into that lightly, let me tell you! It's a lot of work. But when opportunity knocks, you at least need to think about opening the door.

Right now, I'm more confident than I've been in a long time that - with the right niche, lots of study, lots of refining, and lots of work, you really can see success using this program.
