Hi, Are you relying on online sales to make your business a success, or do you conduct other forms of marketing and edvertising? Your site could certainly do with a bit of help with SEO as it lacks focus, but the web site should not be the driving force. I assume that you conducted some sort of research to find out if there is a demand for your products so (assuming that you did, and assuming that there is a demand) you should really be putting your efforts into direct sales and marketing. Building a site and expecting the world to flock to your door is not something I would suggest as a business plan. Your site will probably bring in 10% of your income for the first 12-18 months, the other 90% will be down to good old fashioned legwork. Attend networking events, go to trade shows, attend local events, hand out leaflets - raise awareness. If you structure it properly, then in around 3-4 years time you should be able to turn those figures around so that you will have 90% of your income coming from online sales. Then you can spend more time with the wife JB
Why? You want THEM to link to YOU! I would remove those links right away! And start getting as many links TO YOUR site as possible! This is how you're instrtucting people to buy- Not too many people are going to do that. People want to "add to cart" or "buy now". And you should link directly to the products. Honestly, your site is a usablity nightmare. You might want to read "Don't Make Me Think" or one of the other usabilty books. You have tons of good content, it just needs to be organized and presented better.
