Lobo Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 I think it was George S. Patton who said that the English and the Americans were one people, separated by a common language! Good post. Excellent content. Thanks. Quote Lobo Gun Leather serious equipment for serious business, since 1972 www.lobogunleather.com
Contributing Member UKRay Posted December 7, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 7, 2009 December update I have just seen visitor numbers to Barefoot Leather creep past the 2000 per month mark for the first time. A huge sense of achievement. I can track the increases and know that a percentage of the new traffic is from the Blogs and Google Knols I set up. I also know that Google is directly referring visitors to me now so all the links I built are earning their keep and building my site's 'importance' with Google. I have a number of links from other websites that direct even more traffic - notably one on the www.lurcherlink.net chat forum - a popular place for UK based lurcher owners. See if you can find it (try refreshing the page to rotate the graphics). The link costs me nothing more than an occasional donation and brings in around 200 potentially dog-collar-hungry visitors each month. I reckon to get between 1% and 2% of my visitors to make a purchase - go figure! Do you know any sites that would carry a link like that to your website?

Contributing Member UKRay Posted December 15, 2010 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 15, 2010 A year on and my visitor numbers have now increased to just over 3000 each month and I'm getting around 150 retail sales a month directly from the website. Do the maths, it is definitely a numbers game. The more visitors you get the more sales you make. My goal is to push this to 5000 visitors per month by next December - I wonder how I'll do!

Contributing Member UKRay Posted December 16, 2010 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 16, 2010 I can't tell you how happy that would make me, Luke. In fact, I'd cheerfully be anyone's RICH cousin! Sadly, the truth is I spend far too much on leather, tools and old machines so you'll have to wait a while for your plane ticket to the UK.
