My Conclusions Regarding My 30 Minutes Backlinks Test

[2009-03-28 The three sites I created for this test were thin affiliate sites.  I did a very poor job of creating the sites and have not done what needs to be done to make them good sites.  As a result, I have not kept the domains, and you will no longer be able to look up these sites in Google.  If you find any results after this update then...

Treat Yourself to High Speed Internet Connection

If you have the ability and the means then consider treating yourself to an upgrade in your internet connection. I did and the difference is unbelievable! For the past few years I have had cable internet connection. Lately the speed of this connection has been bugging me at how slow it takes to create BANS sites so I checked into getting a higher...

Common Mistakes when creating BANS sites

There are some really easy ways to make mistakes when creating niche stores. I’ve done most of these myself.

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...
