What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?
I can't think of any difficulties. A lot of time has been invested though. I have learned a lot about how the internet works while building this site along with learning HTML.
What has been the easist part of operating your website?
Once I got the hang of HTML updating pages for better SEO has been a breeze.
What was your biggest mistake?
Design of my website is not very attractive. Not having a PO box for my customers.
Who maintains your website and why?
I maintain it all the time. I want to because I really do like maintaining my site.
Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?
Having a website is the easiest & quickest way of starting a business with very little capital - so I'm able to have a business with minimal effort.
What are your views on Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
I always try to follow SEO. Though I have had more success in not following SEO to the letter. It's hard to keep up sometimes.
What are your views on Search Engines? Have they helped or hindered your website?
I thought it would be very difficult to get onto search engines at first. I was very surprised to find out that I was on search engines in no time at all. So they've helped me I think.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Good old fashioned link exchanges (I never care about PR...I just like trading links) and of course directories. Classified postings have really helped also.
What method has been least successful for promoting your website?
Never use safelists. They just don't work. Plugging away at submitting to directories and having link exchanges are the best.
What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?
The internet has changed. It's getting harder and harder to find valuable information. Now all I can seem to find are sites that mirror the same information again & again. About 2 to 3 years ago I could find so many great websites with valuable information (that seemed to be independent). Now I just find countless sites that mirror information, etc.
