No Niche too Narrow?

As we see the effects and importantly the absence of results from the site development actions taken over the lass couple of months a pattern seems to be emerging.

We appear to be really quite successful in attracting people searching for a specific piece that is in our collection and the second rank of composers + MP3 but we are just not making headway on the broader topic areas. Rather than a very wide net we seem to look like a long line of individual baited hooks where the interests of potential visitors constantly fluctuates from one specific kind of bait to another - many very narrow niches.

It looks as if this is due to the competition for the broader keywords - it is not just the slow progress we have made with Google links and consequently Page Rank because there is a comparable pattern on Yahoo whilst MSN gives us very little coverage at the moment.

Once they get to the site most visitors listen to at least one sample which wasn't happening before we spotted this issue with Hitslink and rectified it with some clear calls to action. Perhaps it is time for some experiments with simplifying the next steps before we try to tackle the wider competitive issue.

We are off to Buda Pest for a little break now - back this time next week and in the mean time here is a Hungarian Rhapsody MP3 Ringtone by Liszt.

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.
