Life of an Online Business – My Pillow place

A critical product line to the success of My Pillow Place is our Bean Bags.  At one point, we had our product splash page on the 3rd page of Google and we were climbing.  That was great and I thought that we would be on the first page in no time as long as I kept getting links and optimizing those pages.  Well, for some reason, that page has dropped so far on the list of organic searches that I need to do something drastic to get that page back in the fold.  I mean, the web pages that are coming in the search results ahead of me, at some point, are completely irrelevant to the search…web pages for bean bag toss games are showing up ahead of me….ridiculous.

So, I went ahead and redesigned our bean bags page.  I’ve added some products and and redirected focus on some of our other products.  I think this will help get some more exposure to a lot of our products that just never get seen.  We’re also looking to add more products to our dog beds line because that is a tough market to crack and we need a more robust product selection. 

May has started out like gang busters in terms of sales…but all of a sudden, over the last few days, things have slowed tremendously.  Can’t figure out why.
