Can I Ask a Small Favor?

Some of you may have gotten an email from me yesterday asking you to visit a work site that recently went live. With as much work as put into it, if the traffic doesn't come, it's the tree falling in the forest. So if you have a moment or two, would you visit the site, click around and even bookmark and check back every few days? I'm writing blogs that mostly cover the Christian book world and sometimes Christian music. I'd love your input, too (we have a comments' section).

We cover pretty much any category you can find in a Christian bookstore so you can look around and see what's coming out soon.

The site is www.christianretailing.com

Visit early and visit often! :-)

Also if any of you may ve interested in reviewing preview copies of Christian books, you can let me know as well. I'm considering beefing up our review list so we can start putting more on the site.

I visited.

The top christian book list made me think of combining the two top titles and write a book called "The Love Shack". :lol:

I'm thinking of writing a follow-up called 'The Barn."

You have to build your audience slowly. If you get them fast they will usually leave in the same manner. A few overview lowbuck tips

Try a Google Ad Campaign (if not already). You can set a limit and it will give you instant top billing on some keywords and you can be location specific.

If you are selling a specific product.. literally give away a few cheaply on Ebay with tons of links back to your product etc. You can tap into that audience quickly and get traffic.

Submit it to the dmoz.org directory. It's an open source directory project that can get you listed on major search engines fast and accurate. Each night the majors harvest the human verified links. Before you do this.. be sure you have your meta keywords and descriptions correct for your front entrance page.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the input. I will pass along the input to our IT department.

I hope to start getting 1 chapter previews of some Christian books to put on there and a lot more book reviews, podcasts with authors, etc. We really have to choose carefully for the print version because of space but we are not limited here.

I didn't realize Pathway had closed. Wow! I noticed that White Wing was being blessed and highly favored as a result.
