Search Engine Optimization - Building a New Online Bookstore
Building A New Online Bookstore - A Case Study In Search Engine Optimization
By Patrick Dent, Owner of New Online Bookstore, Author of Execution of Justice
If you already have a website, and are struggling to draw the traffic you need, you may have to go back to your URL and reconstruct your site to sing out to search engines using strategies that attract the attention of the biggest search engines. The basic strategy has three steps: first, select the best 3-4 keywords or phrases for your products, second, build those keywords into your URL, and third, to tweak your site to rank high for those 3-4 keywords.
Selecting Keywords
To truly pick the best keywords, you need to understand the KEI (keyword efficiency index). But, I'm going to show you how to modify the formula for the KEI to separate your true competitors from those who merely have the same keyword indexed on their site. The KEI formula is simple. You take the number of worldwide searches for a keyword per day and call that 'P' for popularity. Then, you take the number of websites containing that word or phrase in their 'keywords' tag, and call it 'C' for competition. When you perform a Google search, it will say 'displaying top 10 results of 540,000,000'. That huge number is 'C', and 'P' can be obtained from the free version of Web CEO. Now, Web CEO is going to calculate the standard KEI (which should be in the 100's to be good) and give you a number like 0.0009 for just about any keyword you can dream up. If there are new keywords under the Sun, I haven't located any. Here's where you tweak the formula to your advantage. The standard KEI is (P^2)/(C). Since you plan to build your keywords into your URL, which is heavily weighted by all major search engines, you want to modify 'C'. Type your keyword search phrase into Google as follows:
allinurl: "keyword phrase"
and 'C' drops from hundreds of millions to maybe tens of thousands or fewer. These are your true competitors. You beat the millions of others by default because your keywords are few, focused, and contained in your URL. After typing in the above, simply take the number of competing websites Google lists, and plug that into your KEI equation, and the KEI will be in harmony with your strategy of building keywords from the URL level down to the Title, Description, Keywords, Body Text and Alt Tag levels.
The owner of Quincy's Steakhouse said he'd learned all his mistakes building Quincy's and he wanted a fresh start. So, he sold Quincy's and opened Ryan's Steakhouse, avoiding all the pitfalls of his first run. He soon trampled Quincy's. Wise man. This is the same process I went through.
It took me a year to learn the pitfalls of opening a new commercial website. The first decision I made was the name of my URL, before I had any notion of what keywords I would be competing for. So, I named my site after my business - a sound strategy if you have name recognition like Amazon - but not for a newcomer to a very large pond, filled with 540 million competitors. I also tried to emulate the business model of the major online bookstores by being everything to everyone. Big mistake #2. Being a small, upstart business, I needed to focus in on a niche, not the entire planet.
Now, look at the URL and keywords for my new company, New Online Bookstore.
http://www.new-online-bookstore.com
Note that the URL contains 'online bookstore', 'bookstore', 'book', 'books', 'new' applied to any of the before, etc. This is because I wrote the copy for my entire site in natural language, with a few keywords in mind, then checked the keyword density with any number of free online tools. That told me what words I naturally used most often and prominently when describing my site. I then used Web CEO and the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool, both free, to tweak my keywords to make them focused on my niche - new books from new authors. I figured I could take a small sliver of what Amazon and the other Big Boys do and focus with such single-minded intensity on that niche that I could beat them for a reasonable number of searches. This means sticking to the restriction of 3-4 keywords or phrases, each of which should: be included in your 'H1' tag, constitute a minimum of 2% of visible text (mine are in the 15% range), and be included in the Title, Description, Keywords and ALT tags.
You'll never completely satisfy Web CEO, but come as close as you can. When your site is as good as you can get it, have Web CEO automatically submit it to the major search engines every 30 days to keep your listing fresh. Now, you're set up to attract first time visitors.
Email Marketing
The problem is that less than 30% of first time visitors actually make a purchase. You need to collect their email addresses (www.worldminer.com) and follow up with them. For instance, my site offers a free monthly Short Story Ezine, which attracts both readers and writers without the need for spamming. Ezines are best published through an autoresponder, and your website should have ample opportunities for visitors to sign up for a free subscription. For those visitors who don't sign up on my site, I follow up with a non-commercial email offering them a no charge subscription to my ezine. This is not considered 'spam'. Spam is defined as "unsolicited, bulk, commercial email". There are many autoresponders to choose from, but none will tolerate more than a few spam complaints before dropping you. Stay away from FFA leads and services that promise 10 MILLION FREE EMAILS. These mailings are random and meaningless. Sending out 10 MILLION FREE EMAILS to Chinese antiquities dealers is a waste of your time if you're selling new books.
Using my unobtrusive method, I picked up 700 subscribers the first month, and am now into the thousands, with my next 13 ezine issues already loaded into my autoresponder.
It's that simple. Pick your keywords. Build them into the business name and URL. Then, do the detail work, parceling your keywords evenly across the alt tags for all images and text links. If you don't know HTML, it's not a big deal. You can easily find tutorials to show you exactly how to use these tags, and no other knowledge is needed.
Then, figure out some kind of newsletter that would interest your customers and include subscription forms on each page, with a clearly stated privacy statement. Offer a free subscription to your newsletter in as many avenues as possible, such as in the footer of this article.

Designed for home users, creative professionals, workgroups, small offices and anyone looking for shared storage, the My Book World Edition offers a surprisingly simple and secure way to access and share data, photos and music anywhere in the world. Wherever you are, My Book World Edition is accessible just like a local drive using Windows Explorer. From any PC, remotely open, edit, and save files as if they are right there with you. My Book World Edition combines 500 GB of networked storage, backup software and remote access software to make it the most versatile and powerful product in its class.
Customer Review: Works great as a network attached drive
I've been using this drive for over a month now and haven't had any problems with it since I uninstalled MioNet and the Retrospect back up program it came with.
I mainly bought this drive for archive and backup purposes and as long as you don't install the software that comes with the drive, it works great. It was unusable with MioNet installed on my PC. About 50% of the time the drive could not be found or was off line. Retrospect is just as bad, it's problems (no space left on drive, can't find backup set, unable to perform backup and others)may be caused by MioNet. I would have rated this drive five stars if MioNet and Retrospect were usable.
After I uninstalled MioNet and Retrospect, the drive works flawlessly and I haven't had any problems. It may not be the fastest drive on the planet, but I can stream a 640x480 MP4 video from the drive to my laptop.
A nice feature on this drive is you can plug in another 500GB USB drive to add to your storage capacity as you need it. I'm not sure that it will do RAID however.
I found Western Digital support pretty good. I had a few questions and they answered each within a day.
If you want a network attached storage device, this one will work as long as you don't install MioNet.
Customer Review: I Should Have Known...
Messed with this drive for a week trying to get it to work properly over wireless 'N' with XP and MacOS machines. All machines could read but writing was an issue for one of the XP boxes for some reason. Loaded up 50GB then the drive quit.
Bottom Line:
- Little or no documentation - you gotta' rely on forums;
- It's very slow over wireless;
- Would 'quit' in the middle of large write jobs - over 1GB;
- I'm stuck with it after the failure (WD will send me a replacement)
- As mentioned, whatever you do, don't install MioNet

I would rate this book in OK to poor category. The design is poor. Not worth for the price.
Customer Review: Great work-out tool
I always had trouble being organized when lifting. I do track and field at a high competitive level so it is important for me to track my progression - this book is great for that. I also bought a book for my boyfriend who had little motivation in the weight room, but now that he can follow his own progression he has gotten a lot more competitive with himself. I highly recommend this book to anyone at any level.
As a side note, the seller they offer excellent service. Visit their store and see their great selection. I bought a pair of customized straps. I made a mistake and bought them too long. Guess what, the seller is going to send me a new pair free of charge!!! Thank you ATP.
Nine Inch Nails - Closure
Nine Inch Nails - Closure
Customer Review: Pretty awesome in general.
Before I begin, let me just say that finding this VHS set was borderline impossible. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present from someone who was selling it off amazon for, I think, $36 (not the site but someone who was selling it on the site. Even amazon doesn't carry this!). And their money didn't go to waste. I've been wanting this set for a while so the though that I was getting it in the first place thrilled me.
Closure video 1 is a collection of all of their videos up to the point this was released, including some bonus live material that was Eraser, another version of Wish, and Hurt without David Bowie. The way the whole thing is put together is pretty cool. The best part is that none of the videos are censored, either. The second VHS is a short documentary of NIN's '94-'98 Self-Destruct tour. The concert footage is Pinion, Terrible Lie, Piggy, Down In It, March of the Pigs, The Only Time, Wish, Hurt, and Something I Can Never Have. In between each song there is backstage footage and some short clips of them playing at Woodstock '95 and other venues. A lot of it is pretty funny, especially the part where Trent, Robin, Charlie, Jerome, Danny, and some of their crew and friends are seeing who can knock a cord phone (not sure if that's what it is but I don't know what else it could be) off a cord it's hanging by (Trent wins). Like And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the footage is taken from various concerts (especially on this one, since it's all taken from '94 to '98). The concert is great, as Trent shows off how maniacal of a showman he was back in his youthful days: trashing instruments, throwing his bandmates everywhere and sending them to the ER, etc. The songs are also played perfectly, with virtually no errors.
Now, in all fairness, it definitely has its share of flaws. The footage is grainy, sometime REALLY grainy, especially on Piggy, Hurt (with David Bowie), and on interview with Trent talking about his Woodstock performance. The rest is better, but not by a whole lot. Also, on And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the quick outfit changes are obvious, as they are on this one, but unlike the aforementioned DVDs, on Closure, sometimes the transition between scenes gets kind of awkward. For example, on Down In It, when the scene changes from Trent to Danny singing "Rain rain go away, come again some other day," it cuts into "Come again some other day" with a noticeable switch in the notes everyone is playing. This seems like a very foolish mistake if you ask me. Lastly, I wish there could have been more than 8 live songs (11 if you include Eraser, Wish and Hurt on the second video, even though the last 2 are already included on the concert part). I mean, there just could have been so much more....
Nonetheless, Closure is an great video set, and no NIN collection is complete without it. It falls just a little short of perfectly documenting the Self Destruct Tour, which is why I had to dock off 1 star, but that's still only a minor flaw. And as for the DVD version of Closure that Trent made of this. Don't bother waiting around for it. There are too many legal problems with his former manager (who, if you ask me, is just pissed that Trent beat him in court after he selfishly kept millions of dollars that rightfully belonged to Trent), so it won't happen. However, you can find most of the bonus material that was on the aforementioned unreleased DVD on Youtube, including the infamous Broken movie (a disgusting masterpiece, by the way).
So, yeah, just buy this and don't wait a second more for its release on DVD, which will never happen.
Customer Review: A must for Nine Inch Nails fans
Though, I wish Trent would reissue this piece on DVD and there are rumors he might, this is a great look at Nine Inch Nails' early years. One of the videos shows us the Self Destruct tour, which as seen on the video was a thriving, aggressive show with all the youth and vigor it could handle. This video was put out after The Downward Spiral so the concert includes every album or single up to that point. The other video contains every music video produced by the band up to that point. The videos include Head Like a Hole, Down In It (subject of a FBI investigation for one of the scenes in the video), Sin, Pinion, Wish, Help Me I'm in Hell, Happiness in Slavery (not for the faint of heart), Gave Up, March of the Pigs (Live), Closer, and Hurt (Live). Every video is the unedited version so the full effect of every video is seen. This collection does NOT include the imfamous Broken movie. It includes songs from the album, but NOT the actual movie that accompanied it. The videos for the songs from the album are separate pieces to the Broken movie.

Ultimate X-Men Complete Comic Book Collection (Win/Mac)
Ultimate X-Men is the wildly successful relaunch that jettisons over forty years of continuity and sets the clock back to the beginning for Marvel's first group of mutant super heroes.This is a fresh start for the X-Men that begins when they're still teenagers just becoming a part of Charles Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters and chronicles their new first encounters with Magneto, the Sentinels, Juggernaut, etc. The book is published on a monthly basis and is a cornerstone of the Ultimate Universe, a separate line of comics Marvel produces all sharing the same taking-it-from-the-start philosophy. Ultimate X-men includes 70 issues from February 2001 through May 2006, including annual. It also includes bios of all characters!
Customer Review: Convenient, but less than stellar quality
I have been a fan of the X-Men for many, many years. I decided to purchase this Ultimate X-Men Collection first, to see if I really liked it before purchasing larger collections on CD-ROM.
It is very convenient to have all of these comic books sitting on my laptop, allowing me to read them pretty much wherever I go. I only gave the collection 3 stars for two reasons: 1. The scan quality is poor, primarily because the colors are washed out, and 2. The PDF's can only be viewed in Acrobat Reader.
Because of the two issues listed above, I don't think I will be buying any of the other collections on CD-ROM. If you want to see for yourself, buy this collection FIRST, as it is one of the cheaper ones. But I would recommend purchasing the actual books rather than the CD-ROM version.
Customer Review: X-men collector
Don't have the time to go out and hunt down the printed books , me niether so i bought this .

I also bought a book for my boyfriend who had little motivation in the weight room, but now that he can follow his own progression he has gotten a lot more competitive with himself. I highly recommend this book to anyone at any level.
As a side note, the seller they offer excellent service. Visit their store and see their great selection. I bought a pair of customized straps. I made a mistake and bought them too long. Guess what, the seller is going to send me a new pair free of charge!!! Thank you ATP.

Customer Review: Pretty awesome in general.
Before I begin, let me just say that finding this VHS set was borderline impossible. My parents bought it for me as a birthday present from someone who was selling it off amazon for, I think, $36 (not the site but someone who was selling it on the site. Even amazon doesn't carry this!). And their money didn't go to waste. I've been wanting this set for a while so the though that I was getting it in the first place thrilled me.
Closure video 1 is a collection of all of their videos up to the point this was released, including some bonus live material that was Eraser, another version of Wish, and Hurt without David Bowie. The way the whole thing is put together is pretty cool. The best part is that none of the videos are censored, either. The second VHS is a short documentary of NIN's '94-'98 Self-Destruct tour. The concert footage is Pinion, Terrible Lie, Piggy, Down In It, March of the Pigs, The Only Time, Wish, Hurt, and Something I Can Never Have. In between each song there is backstage footage and some short clips of them playing at Woodstock '95 and other venues. A lot of it is pretty funny, especially the part where Trent, Robin, Charlie, Jerome, Danny, and some of their crew and friends are seeing who can knock a cord phone (not sure if that's what it is but I don't know what else it could be) off a cord it's hanging by (Trent wins). Like And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the footage is taken from various concerts (especially on this one, since it's all taken from '94 to '98). The concert is great, as Trent shows off how maniacal of a showman he was back in his youthful days: trashing instruments, throwing his bandmates everywhere and sending them to the ER, etc. The songs are also played perfectly, with virtually no errors.
Now, in all fairness, it definitely has its share of flaws. The footage is grainy, sometime REALLY grainy, especially on Piggy, Hurt (with David Bowie), and on interview with Trent talking about his Woodstock performance. The rest is better, but not by a whole lot. Also, on And All That Could Have Been and Beside You In Time, the quick outfit changes are obvious, as they are on this one, but unlike the aforementioned DVDs, on Closure, sometimes the transition between scenes gets kind of awkward. For example, on Down In It, when the scene changes from Trent to Danny singing "Rain rain go away, come again some other day," it cuts into "Come again some other day" with a noticeable switch in the notes everyone is playing. This seems like a very foolish mistake if you ask me. Lastly, I wish there could have been more than 8 live songs (11 if you include Eraser, Wish and Hurt on the second video, even though the last 2 are already included on the concert part). I mean, there just could have been so much more....
Nonetheless, Closure is an great video set, and no NIN collection is complete without it. It falls just a little short of perfectly documenting the Self Destruct Tour, which is why I had to dock off 1 star, but that's still only a minor flaw. And as for the DVD version of Closure that Trent made of this. Don't bother waiting around for it. There are too many legal problems with his former manager (who, if you ask me, is just pissed that Trent beat him in court after he selfishly kept millions of dollars that rightfully belonged to Trent), so it won't happen. However, you can find most of the bonus material that was on the aforementioned unreleased DVD on Youtube, including the infamous Broken movie (a disgusting masterpiece, by the way).
So, yeah, just buy this and don't wait a second more for its release on DVD, which will never happen.
Customer Review: A must for Nine Inch Nails fans
Though, I wish Trent would reissue this piece on DVD and there are rumors he might, this is a great look at Nine Inch Nails' early years. One of the videos shows us the Self Destruct tour, which as seen on the video was a thriving, aggressive show with all the youth and vigor it could handle. This video was put out after The Downward Spiral so the concert includes every album or single up to that point. The other video contains every music video produced by the band up to that point. The videos include Head Like a Hole, Down In It (subject of a FBI investigation for one of the scenes in the video), Sin, Pinion, Wish, Help Me I'm in Hell, Happiness in Slavery (not for the faint of heart), Gave Up, March of the Pigs (Live), Closer, and Hurt (Live). Every video is the unedited version so the full effect of every video is seen. This collection does NOT include the imfamous Broken movie. It includes songs from the album, but NOT the actual movie that accompanied it. The videos for the songs from the album are separate pieces to the Broken movie.

Customer Review: Convenient, but less than stellar quality
I have been a fan of the X-Men for many, many years. I decided to purchase this Ultimate X-Men Collection first, to see if I really liked it before purchasing larger collections on CD-ROM.
It is very convenient to have all of these comic books sitting on my laptop, allowing me to read them pretty much wherever I go. I only gave the collection 3 stars for two reasons: 1. The scan quality is poor, primarily because the colors are washed out, and 2. The PDF's can only be viewed in Acrobat Reader.
Because of the two issues listed above, I don't think I will be buying any of the other collections on CD-ROM. If you want to see for yourself, buy this collection FIRST, as it is one of the cheaper ones. But I would recommend purchasing the actual books rather than the CD-ROM version.

Customer Review: Good Resource for XML Editing
I have found "Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft VB.NET" an invaluable tool in XML editor development. It is quite detailed about accessing and manipulating XML data.
Customer Review: More confusing
I was reading it as first book for most of the topics, It was total waste of time to read it.
Might help if you are already well expreinced with .NET but not for beginner

Customer Review: Not casual reading but good
This could never be called a casual read, but it is a good read. I've spent much time in the Group Policy book, pair that book with Stanek's Windows Server 2003 Inside Out and you have everything you need to master Active Directory and Windows. Recommended.
