Is 50,000 Links to Your Web Site OK With You?

If you use 800Cart and have, say, 150 products, then more than 50,000 links back to your site is not going to be a problem. And it's all automatic and it does not take days or weeks of strategizing and labor. (we did all that for you years ago - you just need to hook in to our success).

Certainly, it's going going to advance you like 1 link from 50,000 separate web sites, but results speak volumes. Several new 800Cart customers took #1, #2, #3 in just a few days (like 8) - others have dominated with 5-6 links in the top 10 for months (try 'gourmet mushroom'). It's all done 'legally' in the fashion that Google asks you to do it.

Going Viral: Number 1, and 2, and 3 on Google in 8 Days with 800Cart

We've asked the question many times and supplied the answer in the next sentence: what's better than being #1 on Google? Why, being #1, #2, and #3 (or more) on Google!

And that's just exactly what happened recently to an 800Cart merchant in only 8 days when they turned on SEO/Suggestive Sale in the 800Cart Control Panel. And that with less than 20 products in their entire product line (usually more is better).

And it wasn't that hard on the merchant: 1 email to support@cartsupport.com asking for help with the feature and he was rolling. Ten minutes after we got his email, we had finished adjustments to his cart control panel SEO. And it actually took longer to write a reply with a couple of easy suggestions than it took to make the simple changes to his cart!

Eight days later, his products were #1, #2, and #3 on Google. And we frequently do better with other merchants as mentioned in past articles.

Of course, we have always offered a free trial for our 800Cart instant ecommerce at www.800Cart.com (click 'Sign Up') . Now, if you turn on SEO before your free trial ends, it's entirely possible that you will be at the top of Google before your free trial ends.

Small Online Business is One Answer to Economic Crisis

If you are like many others today, you are wondering if your job will still be there for you next month or next year... or if you will be yet another victim of the current economic downturn.

News released this week reveals that unemployment is much higher than the highest unemployment predicted for the US if the economic stimulus had *not* been passed.

That means that many workers are facing a much likelier chances of layoffs or early retirement. What do you do to prepare? Many people have found a likely answer and are starting a small online business to serve as additional income while they still have a job and to serve as a cushion or replacement income in case they do lose their current job.

And since online sales are still increasing (folks are being much more careful with the dollars they do spend and that often means shopping online to find better prices and burn less expensive gasoline to shop) an online part-time business makes perfect sense for those trying to prepare for hard times.

Why does a part-time online business make so much sense? Well to begin with, when you run a part-time online business, none for your customers know you are doing it part time (unless you tell them). Early online sales for a new business are often a little slow at first, so working part-time is not demanding and it gives you a chance to ramp-up sales before you really need the income.

It does sometimes take a little time to build sales on a new online web site and many new merchants realize this, so they are starting now in order to get the 'slow period' behind them - so that the revenue and income will be there already when they think they may need it a few months from now.

When you consider that an online business can be started for as little as $15/month borrowed from your day job and household income, the ideas makes real sense - which is why you see so many people doing it.

And the best part is this: if you never lose your job and join the ranks of the unemployed, you have still supplemented your income and added to your personal prosperity!
