Profezor: writing 300 hundred word articles becomes easy especially after you have done all the keyword research and checked out the merchants and the top 10 sites for the keywords. You get very informed quickly and use that as a guide to write your content. It becomes to be a pattern and easy. Also we have found a few places that we got some articles already written.

We designed our own template in GoLive (That part of the business is all my sisters fault as she learned it a few years ago and it is easy to use)

onlineleben: no specific reason that we picked blue other than we liked the color

robertb: thanks for the analysis and saving 100s of dollars in counceling

Well done Denise on the first sale....I bought the manual on July 2nd 2004 - and so far I have put together 3 sites on ink cartridges, golf and snow related products. I have written 100, 75 and 32 articles for these sites. Unfortunately I have yet to make any sales but I am ploughing on with adding extra content.

It's great to hear from others starting out...I have just found this forum and it's great to have a section dedicated to the Martell methods.

Regards
Keith

Welcome to the forum Keith Smile

We registered our first website on July 16th which is about 10 weeks ago.
I just checked my merchants stats and discovered that we have another sale. Smile

We had our index page listed in google last week and we have 11 of our 70 pages listed in yahoo.

So we are starting to get some visits from the search engines and it feels good to know that James system does work.

I went to look at your sites and they look good and it shows that you have been following the manual.

Let us know how it goes. As you said it is nice to here from the ones that are just starting out.

The best of luck
Denise

I have read most of posts and as a beginner, I have just realised that in order to be successful with a website you have to be operating three or more websites!!! Shocked Shocked . My god, I have to start soon.

Hi All,

An interesting discussion on structuring a site.
Looking at the sites presented here, I'm a little puzzled.

Here's what I don't get, can anyone explain:

When I look at these sites, I see product pages geared more or less towards selling stuff. If I land on the home page, this doesn't look like an information rich site. In fact, it looks like you have gone to great lengths to put it aside in the site map only.

What's with this? Why hide rich content?

Or is a product page the only page the visitor is supposed to go to?
Article search engine bate, reeling into the product page kind of thing?

Best,

Erwin

There area couple reasons for the structure ... one is to focus the PR into the product pages (those main category pages you see) and to keep the product pages easy to update if a merchant changes on you. Martell style sites bring the traffic in through the articles, then direct that traffic to the product pages ... the home/front page is secondary.
