My Cafetorium eBook shop has now been built. The shelves are empty at the moment as I review my stock for quality.
A vast improvement on my previous version is that the stock is being categorised to make it a lot easier to find particular eBooks.
Every day I'll be taking a few eBooks to work and I'll read and review them during my lunch break. Then in the evening, the ones that pass the review will be added to the site.
This is going to be a long process, but I think it will be worth it. There are so many eBooks out there today which are either total rubbish, or duplicates of other eBooks. This duplication happens because people sell the PLR (Private Label Rights), allowing the buyers to rename them, change the content and put their names to them. Many people do nothing but change the title and author, meaning that you can end up with several identical books under different titles.
By reviewing all my stock, I hope to eliminate all duplicates. If I can, I'll also try to make a note of duplicates so that my customers don't end up buying something they already own.
On the Alexa front, I downloaded and installed the Alexa Toolbar again and everything seems to be working again. It seems that the ranking system doesn't always work if you don't have the latest version installed.
My idea for writing a robot to visit all the pages of my sites has now been realised.
I've used it for a few days now. It's too soon to determine whether visiting all of the pages of a site has any bearing on the Alexa Rank, but for the two sites that have the most pages, the initial results look promising, with increases of around 350,000 compared with other sites for which I'm visiting just one page, which have increased by about 100,000. One set of results doesn't provide much evidence though.
We shall see over the next few weeks.
The number of pages on the Cafetorium site will increase steadily over the next few weeks, so if my theory is correct, its rise should be phenomenal. That site also has a Google Rank, so it will become a valuable site for all my other sites to be linked to.
