Update

Lately I've been busy adding items to my store and of late, I am going back to all of my listings to edit them for duplicate content. There are so many listings that hardly differ from the next but to keep my items from being banned from Google I need to be sure they are on duplicate. I've gone to jpeterman.com for inspiration. I can't believe how descriptive and poetic their product descriptions are. If you ever need motivation to write better content, check out jpeterman.com.

I see I have two followers to my blog now. YAY! Welcome! Feel free to send your friends. :-)

What has changed via Buy It Sell It of late:
* They have come out with a new template as of yesterday and everyone is buzzing about it. I love it myself. It's really making me want to come out with a cat dish store, but I should really do more with the dog store before I focus on two sites at once. At least that's my current thought. There are still so many items to post in the dog store and so many things to better about the store. Although I know there are always things I can make better about the store so that part won't keep me from moving onto creating a new store.
*Statistics on our stores has also been added to Buy It Sell It so that will be helpful. Google Analytics is great, but it seems that stats from Buy It Sell It will include more visits than Google includes. I always feel like I'm shorted by Google in looking at my page views in Buy It Sell It so hopefully this will help me analyze what I can/should change about the store.
* I was able to add more featured items to my home page so now it's at 9. You really can fumble through html and get buy with a Buy It Sell It store. You may have questions now and then if you want to get a little fancier, but there is always someone there to help. I know people have been scared away from custom templates on there because they think they need to know html, but if you look at it often enough you can figure out how to make minor adjustments to do something that an unpaid user wouldn't be able to do.

This past week I got 2 sales in 1 day that I'm very excited about. What's even more exciting is that it looks like they found me through Google. VERY key to being successful on the internet is ranking high with Google. Hopefully there are many more sales to come. I'll keep ya posted!
