Favourite feel good song - Electronica

Yes - we have been to Wordtracker and I am here to tell you that there were no sites until today which targeted "favourite feel good song electronica" ! Yes I dressed it up a bit for the headline and in a minute I'll incorporate it in a link text back to my favourite feel good song.

The reason this phrase is worth a mention above all the others that are not to be found in Google yet is that according to Wordtracker 8 people a day search on precisely that phrase. I'm not sure I believe them but this entry is by way of a little test of the system.

I don't want to disappoint all those searchers and so I am going to link to my favourite feel good song - electonica version of Faure's Bacarolle which makes me think of warm summer days in the countryside. Not an entirely appropriate response to a Gondondolier's song but never mind.

This phrase illustrates a couple of other points about the time I have been spending with Wordtracker. Finding search opportunities that have yet to be invested by the big boys is a non trivial task and so is finding the popular keywords that searchers for our site are most likely to use. 'Feel good' is an aspect of most of our original arrangements with a few notable exceptions. 'Electronica' is one of the more apposite labels for the musical genre into which our work would be classified. A regular reader of this blog would recall that we kicked off with the slightly uncomfortable 'classical remix' but abandoned it as too misleading.

So back to the salt mines - must make the most of our Wordtracker week. We have made progress on other fronts and there will be lots more pages added to the site over coming weeks to reflect our findings - rich in the content that search volumes indicate are sought after and changes to existing pages to increase their focus on the needs of searchers.

Adding to the collection or ...

There are more opportunities to add to this collection but we think that it is now time to make some additional payment options available. For low cost items, credit card transactions are rather expensive so we will need to trade the benefits to us of larger orders against a premium for individual track purchases. This means adding shopping cart facilities along side the simple BitPass functionality and is going to be a bit of a programming challenge. More of this anon - in the mean time here is another Brandenburg Concerto LoFi streaming sample - first movement of No3 from Johann Sebastian Bach himself and our arrangement on steel drums and marimba - full HiFi track only 0.99$(US).

Shop Re-opens

The PHP upgrade on my server precipitated closure of the shop for a couple of weeks but I finally found the time to work through the backlog of OS Commerce upgrades that I had been putting off and Lo and Behold the shop is working again. I still need to do a bit of testing on the shopping cart arithmetic and make sure that the downloading is still working properly after the changes I have made. I'll also have a look at the recent contributions to see if there are any other improvements I should be making. In the mean time there has been another surge of Ranking changes on Google as reported on Rankpulse and it is evident that our rankings continue to swing around on a daily basis but our overall position and visitor numbers seem pretty stable - even the shop closure didn't seem to have much of an impact.

Out of Beta

Blogger is out of beta and that was pretty painless. The new features look quite interesting so we'll give them a go shortly. No collaborators on the search engine yet so I think we'll do a page on the main site and see what we can achieve from there. My news group post killed the thread I responded to - so nothing from that source either. An index page update was picked up by Google the following day so we seem to have all that part of the system sorted and I finally got round to tidying up the title and description so that might generate more responses. We are ending the year on over 2000 visitors a week on the main site but not many on this blog - I'm really doing it for my personal benefit now but it helps to imagine that anyone could come along and read it. In fact I suspect that we have far more readers of individual pages thrown up by searches than we do regular readers.
