Hello Lea ..

google payper click ads are ok for imediate traffic and possible sales .

Google does see you website and here is what they see

"SCENTS 4 CENTS" Home Pageimage, image, image. image, About Us | Service | Policies | Home | Search | View Cart, image. image, "SCENTS 4 CENTS", image ...
www.scents4cents.us/ - 14k - Cached - Similar pages
.
I think website do better that do not redirect to servlet/StoreFront on landing
I would not redirect a landing to right into you shopping cart link it is being done
http://www.scents4cents.us/servlet/StoreFront

I would also work on the title and meta tags on your website so you can get more matural search results so you do not have to depend on paying

I would create a home page that has better title of what your website is about
and then have a shopping link

I would also link my about page to a better titlle page and ore descriptive link
you know have this
http://www.scents4cents.us/servlet/the-template/about/Page

so do study titles and meta tags at google search below
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rl...


I see that you are working on getting you links listed on sites that are related to yours
as you can see at link below
http://www.google.com/search?q=scents4cents.us&rls=com.microsof...

That is good .

let the search engines no more about what you have with better use of Titals and Meta tags and you will be on your way and start doing much better in natural search

Rick

Howdy Lea,

If I can chime in with some brief thoughts, based on what I've done consistently:
* get your web page meta tags right for the keywords you're targeting (keytword, title, description)
* make sure to get those top keywords into your images' alt tags
* submit to Dmoz, Alexa, and Yahoo

The result? I launched one of my sites and for my top 2 keywords in:
* 13 days: was #34 on Google
* 18 days: was #37 on Google, #9 and #10 on Yahoo, #1 and #3 on MSN
* 31 days: was 21 on Google, still #9 and #10 on Yahoo, #1 and #3 on MSN

I just did the same for another site, with even faster, better results: 14 days: Google:
* top keyword: #10 and #11
* 2nd top keyword: #8 and #9

I did leave out some of my other tricks that got the sites there fast, but even those few shown will work wonders.
If this sounds too technical, I'll understand. But then, if you're in online marketing, there's a bit of techno babble involved, like anything else.
