We’re playing in the sandbox!

Posted on by

I’ve been stumped. With all of the feedback I’m getting on this blog, I cannot determine why it’s not getting better traffic from search engines.

I was researching what I could have done wrong. I got the SEO book from the library, and the learned about links and affiliates. Turns out, there is something called the “sandbox effect” for new web sites that keeps their page rank low. Go figure.

Here’s some interesting information about the “Google Sandbox.”

Looks like we’ve got a few more months to play in the sand before the traffic starts up. Please pass on all of your comments, suggestions and ideas for improvement.

All the best,
Jessica

    Thanks Miss Accessories–I appreciate your tip about anon. comments. I always worry about SPAM messages (I struggle with that on another site), but I’ll give it a try.

    I did see the Wisebread listing. I’m pretty jazzed about that. Thanks!

    How did you find the site?
