Ok here's an update on my new site
www.nybikergear.com Registered the domain name for the site and secured a hosting package with
www.camelot-hosting.com (I highly recommend Camelot hosting) on Tuesday September the 4th. The template was finished on the 5th and I started adding product that day. The SSL was installed on the 6th as well as more product, submitted it to The Crabby Marketplace, added modules and late that day the site was submitted to the Zen showcase. Noticed that the site started to show up in the Zen showcase late on the 7th. Tweaked some meta tags along the way and checked organic search over the weekend to see placement of those keywords. My search results are first page on most and many times I show up as #1 or 2 out of 2,000,000+ and that is in less then a week folks. Well all that has paid off as of today because I received my first sale late this afternoon and to boot it was via google checkout.
Can you survive outside the world of auction sites people? My answer to that is YES it can be done and very easily and quickly if you put your mind to it.
