About Us 2007 is when I began creating niche stores. Many kind and giving people shared their knowledge with me, making it easier to improve my sites. I have gathered much of what I've learned and put it here, on this site, as a way of giving back. It is my hope that this site will help you improve your niche stores and sites, too. ~ Rochelle
How to Move a Site from a Subdomain to a New URL
Yesterday I wrote about why I no longer use subdomains to create Build A Niche Store (BANS) sites. Today I will explain how to move a niche store from a subdomain to its own domain. Before I go into how to do this I want to say that I have chosen to do this using two different hosting companies. In another post I will explain why you may want to...
How to Deal with the Dreaded Computer Reformat
As many of you know, I had to reformat my computer not too long ago. One of my readers emailed me and said he is now facing the same thing and wants to know what he needs to do regarding his niche stores. This is a good question, but fortunately, your niche stores shouldn’t be too affected by a computer reformat. Really, the only things...
How to remove the ‘Contact Us’ link from sidebar and add it to the footer
Adding a ‘contact us’ page to a site will add value by making it look more professional. Some people won’t visit a site if there is no way to contact the site’s owner. And, I can’t remember where I read this, but it is thought that Google shows a bit more love to sites that have ‘contact us’ links or...
How to Add Images to Sidebar Menus and Auction Results
On my Tools For Ghost Hunters niche store I added images of a ghost that you can see links are hovered over or selected. I’ve been requested to share how I did this. Writing these instructions is something I’ve put off because I think it this is a rather difficult mod but have finally so read on if you would like to add images to your...
How to Create eBay Affiliate Links
You can easily create eBay affiliate links for use in your niche stores or elsewhere. When eBay’s affiliate accounts were still with Commissions Junction (CJ) you could create affiliate links using eBay’s Flexible Destination Tool. Now that eBay has moved their affiliate program from CJ to their own EPN you can still use the Flexible...
How to Add External Links Alphabetically to Your Site’s Sidebar
I recently wrote about how to add external links to your sidebar menus. Those instructions tell you how to add external links that are either above or below your Site Navigation menu. Since that post I have learned how to add external links to your sidebar menus so that they show up alphabetically along with any other pages you have created. This...
How to Add External Links to Your Site’s Sidebar
Someone recently saw a niche store that included a link to an external web site in the Site Navigation sidebar menu. He asked if I know how to do this. I do and am sharing here because I’m sure there are more people who would like to do this, too. This mod came from Pip on the Build A Niche Store forum. Apparently there is a way to add...
How to Add a ‘Contact Us’ Form to Your Site
One thing I’ve been putting off is adding a ‘Contact Us’ form on my niche stores. Sure, I could do this fairly easily by simply adding a ‘Contact Us’ link and including my email address. But if I do this I risk having spam harvesters collecting my email address and filling my inbox with spam. I do have a program I...
How to Hide Pages and Add Them to Your Site’s Footer
Vacation time is over so it’s back to building my niche stores. Camping at Disney World is a great experience. My girls loved it, my husband relaxed, and I had plenty of time to ponder my sites. At least I didn’t take a notepad or I would have done nothing but take notes. I’ve decided that I want to remove the privacy policy and...
