I have decided to resurrect my plans to create an eBook store. I put it on hold before because I thought that too many people were doing the same thing and my site would just get lost.
However, I've read recently that people are still making reasonable money from selling eBooks, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I have collected a fairly huge stock of eBooks over the past year, but I have to say that quite a few of them are utter rubbish. So, I have removed all of my entire stock, and I'll be reading through each of them before putting them back on sale.
There are numerous rip-off artists about who try to sell you rubbish like that, and have no scruples. They don't even read them themselves - they just buy the resale rights and churn it out.
Personally, I can't bring myself to do that. I plan to provide a decent service, selling quality products.
I also figured that if I add a new product or two every day, the search engines will view my site as an active, changing site. And if I write up reviews of the eBooks that I sell, there will be a lot of changing content for the search engines to get their teeth into.
This can only do my search engine ranks a lot of good.
The domain that I am using for my ebook store has been around for about 6 years now (simply used for a personal website), and Google seems to prefer long-lived sites. This is reflected by the fact that it has a Google Page Rank of 2/10. Not brilliant, but better than nothing.
The site now has an Alexa rank of 1,891,986. Again, not fantastic, but not a bad position for a startup site.
The site is called The Cafetorium (like this blog), and is at The Cafetorium.
There's nothing to buy there yet, but the stock levels will pick up over the next few days.
