Grill Auctions Update 11/02/07

Hi All -
First and foremost, thanks to everyone for the kinds words of encouragement and prayers in regard to my fathers health! It is truly appreciated! Even though it has been a challenge to find the time to write each day, I am still deeply involved in the Grill Auction site and spend quite a bit of my free time working on making sure the contest winner has a good product and something I can be proud to award!
The site is still in the indexing process, but now shows more than 34 indexed pages, almost double that of just a couple days ago! In addition, a total of 12 of the targeted phrases now show in the top 20 SERP’s… I expect almost ALL of the category targets to be strong runners within 2 weeks.
The site has already produced both Google AdSense (4 clicks) and a CJ sale for a total revenue of $3.56. Not much I know… but in less than 2 weeks of very much part time and slow development, it is earning money! If I had pushed this site out in 1-2 days after registering the domain, it would be 1 month ahead of where it is now… The winner for this contest will not be disappointed!
I am still waiting for one of my boys to get my Grill Features article in my hands, but I think it is an issue of emails being crossed more than it not being done (Hint… Hint, Ryan)
I have had the combined contest results in my hands since yesterday morning, but have not had a chance to put it onto the screen - Here goes, results are through the end of day, October 31st.
- Ed Akehurst still holds the lead with 377 direct referrals
- Rochelle in second, is gaining significantly with 261 referrals!
- Otis still holds third with 94.
There have been two periods that the videos I uploaded have just killed my bandwidth limit and temporarily shut the site down for a few minutes… a few days, it has exceeded 5 gigs per day! That’s a big chunk of data… but I have made the proper increases to assure it does not happen again!
In case you all didn’t see, I also had a winner of my first official Build a Niche Store Review! Once each month, a new subscriber is chosen to have me go up and down their site and offer tips and suggestions for immediate improvement! In addition to the review, I provide detailed keyword and phrase reports on how they should focus their efforts in category building! At some point, I will have a chance to offer this as a paid service to anyone interested in getting it done… I just have not had the time to code the back-end stuff yet.
Happy Reading - Mark

Build a Niche Store Contest - GrillAuctions could be Yours!

Well - I must have bumped my head! At least that is what no less than 3 people have told me in the past 24 hours! One asked: ”Have you lost your <Insert expletive> mind!”
After registering the new domain name for the Build a Niche Store Process series earlier this week, I began to think of ways to drive traffic to this series of posts and increase subscribers. Not just for existing Build a Niche Store owners, but also to those who don’t really know anything about the eBay affiliate script, or may be on the fence about whether to make the purchase!
The Answer - A Build a Niche Store Contest!
