Site Update
|
Sept 29, 2005
|
The main hub of our business is slowly but surely ready to launch. WAHM Services is being built at a very slow pace making sure that all areas necessary is created before the Grand Opening which we're anticipating will be with the new year. Without much advertising the site has already garnered a total of 1,323 links and 15 of these are from Google. It will not just be another wahm site, WAHM Services will provide more than any wahm site hence the reason for the slow beginning.
Now on to the updates for the Work at Home Business Mall. We are currently number one in the first position of Google for the keyword phrase "work at home business mall", not bad for a site that finally figured out it's niche and launched on June 1st. Following in the order of appearance for this keyword is the following websites.

Our wah coupon keyword phrase is netting great search engine ranking as well. Okay, it's still not number one in Google but many of the other search engines are showing our coupons page in the top 5 results and majority is one the first page result.
Amazingly enough, some of our individual article pages are hitting number one in many of the search engines.
We check our ranking once a month and provide the reports to the public.
For the upcoming holiday we've started the graphics creation to provide free printable graphics to our visitors as well as free recipe ebooks. The link will be created soon.
For anyone reading our site updates, we are now deleting any guestbook entries and tag board entries that blatantly advertise the numerous medicine related websites. Any comments found with URL's to these types of websites including casino websites will be deleted.

We've added the $5 Templates and continue to aggressively market the Mall.
There are many things going on right now which includes the creation of what will be the main hub for this company the WAHM Services. All 3 websites will help to provide affordable services for the work at home community. Stay tuned for more!

Traffic Ranking is now 701,372. Our search engine ranking is also doing well and so is our link popularity. We've purchased a Search Engine Paid Inclusion account and will soon purchase the Search Engine Paid Inclusion accounts for keywords.
The Article submission form has been very busy so much so we are having a hard time keeping up. The Free Articles Section is going to be revamped because of the numerous amounts of Articles being submitted.
We have also decided to reduce the price of the Full Page advertisement in the Business Mall as well as the WAH Forum. So, if anyone is waiting for this news keep checking cause the prices are coming down even as our popularity is going up.
BTW, we are happy to announce that many of the articles submitted have been picked up in top positions in many search engines and so is the Coupon Directory. We need to have a more detailed Search Engine Ranking report done for the site but we're told could take up to 3 days to run a detailed report like that, may need to expend the cash for this just to really see where we are in the Search Engines and how well we're doing.

Traffic Ranking as of today per information provided by Alexa is 707, 856. According to the Link Popularity report we have a total of 4,407 links to www.my-biz.net as follows: Google/AOL 35, Yahoo 835, AllTheWeb 794, AltaVista 820, MSN Beta 1888, HotBot 35 links. This report was ran today and will be available for viewing in our Search & Ranking Reports soon. We still have a ways to go to improve the exposure of the Work at Home Business Mall, but considering that this site officially launched in on June 1st, we're very optimistic that all the advertisement and promotions that we've been doing will help to make this site a very notable one.
Like Wal-Mart we are going to be bringing down the prices of our advertisement listing mainly for the Full Page Unlimited Text Listing. To make it more affordable for those that have minimal budgets for advertising their work at home businesses it was decided that the price for this option be lowered. We're not quite sure yet what the new prices will be, however, we are gearing towards the possibility of just making one option for this listing. We have been doing research of other WAHM sites that provide advertisement listing and will provide a comparison chart with links to the respective sites to our competitors pricing. So, far we have yet to come across a wahm site that provides a Full Page advertisement with Unlimited Text as well as allowing the client's to provide images let alone providing and creating for them them free images that are copyright free without additional charges. Stay tuned as this new pricing will be in effect soon!
Our Direct Sales Database is still in the works, but due to extensive data that needs to be entered as well as the collection of database information, that will make this Direct Sales Database larger than any that has been provided it is taking a lot longer than expected. The Direct Sales Database will contain the following aspects to allowing those searching for legitimate work at home jobs to find what they're looking for faster. It will be broken down in the following categories: By Categories, By Alpha, By State, By Counties per State, By City per State, By Zip Code and By Area Code. We are also attempting to include work at home information for Canada. Due to the intensity of this database we are also changing the pricing for listings. It would take too much time to figure out who purchased a one month, 2 month, etc . . advertising, so those that have been listed for free in the beginning will have the opportunity to upgrade to a lifetime listing. Liftetime listings of course meaning the lifetime of this website.
The WAH Forum also is still not completed and for those that have requested membership will not be provided this until the contents of the WAH Forum is good enough for the price that we will be asking for. The WAH Forum will contain many helpful information for the work at home community as well as those that are just coming on-line thinking of joining this growing community. Aside from the Bulletin Boards, Classifieds and Blogs created specifically for members, we are also adding: Cut 'N Paste Scripts, Business E-Books, E-Cook Books, Web Templates, Articles to include the development of websites, SEO, Basic HTML and Advance HTML, Affiliate Programs, Site Promotion to include listings of where to submit your site for free, Traffic Exchange Programs, and Networking websites. These are just a listing of what we've planned on including for those that pay for their membership in the WAH Forum. Until we have content provided for each of these categories, the WAH Forum will not be open to accept members. However, we are still taking request for membership just that you won't receive access until you have been told the cost of this membership and of course until we have done what we set out to do for this opening.
We're coming to the end of the month since our official site launch and currently our stats as of today reads the following:
As Provided by statcounter.com
Page Loads = 2,913
Unique Visitors = 1,178
As Provided by our AWSTATS
Visits = 3,478
Page Views: 10,797
Total Hits = 86,401
Our Articles Submission Form has been very busy and we have been trying to keep up with the creation of each submitted article. Each of our guest authors have been submitting splendidly informative articles specific for the work at home community. Please make sure to check out our Articles Directory to see the new additions.

Our Traffic Ranking is now 736,130 vs what it was a couple of days ago which was 800,298. The new keyword Search Engine Ranking report was just completed at http://www.creativejunction.net/searchreports/wahbizmall/ and it shows that many of our keyword phrases are given top positions on the first page of major search engines. The report was done providing ranking from 117 major search engines within Google's Database Search Engine Network.
The report probed only the top 5 search page results and we're improving it seems every single day in the search engines!
The WAH Business News Blog was configured and launched yesterday. Though the blog could've been installed on this domain this will help provide yet another medium to bring attention to the WAH Business Mall and the work at home community and we won't be penalized by Google for showing some duplicated content.
There is another set of site promotion that is being prepared which is targeting submissions to affiliate this site to specifc topics. Otherwise all is well and lots of work still to be done.

As of today our Traffic Ranking stat is 800,289; we have 2,277 links; and the traffic is growing. Our PPC Campaign is doing well, just need to have a bigger budget, however there is another Campaign we're checking into called Targeted Visitors and another PPC Search Engine Campaign that will provide 50% bonus with account creation. So, we're still searching out to find more ways to advertise this site! The advertisement thus far is doing really well we are being listed in several search engines on the first page results, view the Search Engine Submission Reports and see our Search Ranking stats. It's pretty neat to find our home page at the first page of search results when many of our targeted keywords are entered and given top positions to boot!
Today the winner of our Monthly Guest Book Signing Contest will be notified. The winner is the owner of Treasures to Behold. She will receive 1 year Full Page Advertisement.
A blog is being created off this domain to help provide more exposure to our contest winners. The blog will be submitted to search engines and directories, scheduled on our submission program monthly and every 14 days. The blog will also house new Home Business or Direct Sales companies that we find during our internet search.
We've also created the WAH Business Ad Promo Group in Yahoo Groups.
This group will provide Special Advertisement Promotions to members as well as allow members to request Installment Payment Plans on ad purchases totaling more than $25. Plus, be one of the first to sign up and participate in our future e-book and printed materials creations. The WAH Business Ad Promo group members will also receive other perks for ads purchased within our network of websites.

Today is the official launch of the WAH Business Mall! The WAH Forum is not quite complete yet, but the main site is ready and filled with lots of info.
A Grand Opening Special sale has been added that will end on the 15th of June. Free Listing also created for Contest, Affiliate Program and Freebies for a limited time.
The PPC search engine advertisement has been purchased and waiting for approval.
The site has been submitted to 87 major search engines and each has a network of search engines within their reach.
The advertising assault will commence until all aspects of web promotion is done for the month. This will entail site submission to Directories, Databases, FFA's, Classifieds and numerous networking groups and of course purchasing more advertising with companies that provide targeted audience.
We still need to get the Affiliate Program information created but that will be done and completed along with all the other necessary work with the WAH Forum.
Between submissions the WAH Forum will continue to be worked on until completion. Estimated completion we're hoping by the end of this month. there are many programs, ebooks, cut and paste scripts and the html courses yet to be installed.
Membership to the WAH Forum will be announced and the probablity of free membership is being considered for a limited time.

Charter Membership for those who want to host and manage their own bulletin board as well as 1 private bulletin board; Basic Membership for those that only want to be able to gain access to all areas of the WAH Forum and the Free Trial Membership will be used for promotional specials only and sparingly used with time limitation. As to the cost of membership we are still up in the air. Tentatively we have the following membership fees set up:
Charter Members - $25/per year
Basic Members - $15/per year
Trial Membership - length of time is yet to be determined
We are still deciding on the type of Chat Program to install and the Affiliate Program still has to be configured. We have signed up for 2 different accounts that we may use for our Affiliate Program for the time being.
Lots of work still to do before the Official Launch!

New companies and articles have been added to our website. We are frantically trying to get everything in place. The purchase of advertising packages with Google as well as possibly Mamma.com is beig looked at. Search Engine, Directories, Classifieds and Directories are set to be launched on the evening of May 31st.
The WAH Forum however is not yet complete. There are currently 14 downloadable programs that will be provided for paid members. We still have quite a bit to go to complete adding all of the information such as cut and copy scripts, e-books specifically for members, HTML how to articles and so forth. The WAH forum may not be done in time for the Official Launch.

The official Launch date has been established. Come rain or shine the WAH Business mall will officially launch on Wednesday, June 1, 2005!
Google Page Rank system has gone awry. We no longer have a page rank in fact many websites are showing up as invalid domain when the page rank is checked. Hopefully Google will get this taken care of soon. I mean they tell us how important page rank is and . . . well can't complain about the Mother of all search engines. I guess whatever it is they are doing will hopefully make things a lot more confusing when they get it fixed. 
Our Rank is doing when it comes to our category. There is a definite raise in rank each day. We started out at 1,923,000+ in category ranking, this is good news for a site that has yet to officially launch!
