Life of an Online Business – My Pillow place

Google has finally given my Floor Pillow listing a number one placement.  As of yesterday, we jumped over Crate and Barrel.  Nice.  I will see how long this lasts…but I’d like to see our traffic get a boost from being number 1.  We’re doing ok.

All the optimization work I did last week for bean bags hasn’t been updated yet.  Google’s cache is still showing pages from January 23rd.  It may take 2 or 3 indexings to get my changes flushed through the system and see some positive keyword movement. 

I am actually going to be taking a break from any updates or optimizing for the next 2 weeks.  I would like to see what happens from the internal linking exercises that I’ve already done.  I may work on some Web 2.0 stuff and open accounts with some other social networking sites, but only a little bit.  I’ve updated some of my squidoo lenses such as floor pillows and bean bags.  But, my mind needs a brake from this.

I’m also going to spend some time reading and learning more about how to make my website convert better.  And the biggest thing I will do is to figure out if it is viable to do a second website and maybe explore some concepts for that.  A product site, an affliate site…not sure…Tell you what, I would love to not have to worry ab0ut the things I worry about with a product site.  Shipping delays being the biggest thing that I stress about….
