Well – the title says it all! A Free BANS Template, that I don’t like! Essentially, I only ran a quick sepia tone change and made it kinda brown… I won’t get into describing the exact brown color, but suffice to say… well, I won’t say it.
Honestly, I am sure there are many people that can use this template… thus it is going up! By the end of the week, I have a total of about 6-8 of this template in different colors. At some point, I will upload all …

So, I was scampering around earlier today thinking of the next Spot the Niche image and I noticed our dogs looking at me kinda funny! Surely it wasn’t because I was in boxers and a checkered flag tee shirt?!
It was one of those moments you had to see… Simon (left) & Archie (Right) our Westie Terriers.

Why is it they always relax on MY chair?
I know the first few niche sites I can think of…
Shock collars for barking dogs! (I’m only kidding Kim)

Using Ebay The Biggest Internet market Place to get Back Links to your web sites.
If you are a seller or not you can get back links from Ebay.com
I’m going to describe two ways to get back links from Ebay. I know many of us have issues with Ebay now, but don’t jump ship to soon.
According to Ebay Policies you can have links going off site in About me page and “One link to a page that further describes the item being sold in that listing”

Whew… that’s about all I have to say about that!
Earlier today, I thought I would try my hand at integrating wordpress with the Hybrid Golf Club site. Overall, the entire process took less than 3 hours, it was the fine tuning of the style sheet to get the WP menus the way I wanted them, that took the most time!

So, what was involved?

Hello All!
Recently, I’ve had a few questions come up while getting backlinks to my BANS sites to try and get them indexed in Google, MSN and Yahoo.  I’m sure that I’m not the only one with these questions, so I decided to put up a post about it in order to “put it to rest”. 
I’ve been with BANS for around 3 months now, and I’ve always had questions about linking, internal linking, deep linking, submitting to directories for links etc….and the proper way to go about doing it.  So, as …

Hi Everyone – as promised earlier this week, I have stripped down one of my own templates and it is listed below for all of you to use if you wish. I have also recorded a 30 minute video, which is the first of 2 segments on how to customize this template. In the next video posted to the Build a niche Store Template section, I will show you how to further customize this template by adding various affiliate ads into the header section as well as the side columns.

Earlier this week, I posted 2 times in regard to free places to get your Build a Niche Store backlinks. In those posts:

One way Niche Website Links
Niche Website Links and Article Directory

I listed 2 sites that I have been working on myself. They are both hosted on my Hostgator account and one uses a link cloud, the other a full version of the php link directory with article support.

Earlier this week, I spoke a little bit about working with BANS templates and a few of the on page factors that may have an effect on your Build a Niche Store website. Today, I am going to discuss the template files. More specifically, the different sections of the template files and what each of those control. Understanding which template files perform the different functions is very important when you decide to start modifying them!

Yesterday I posted about how to create USFreeads. Eric, one of the other guest bloggers here, gave some really great information on how he creates his ads. The information was excellent but buried in the comments. Eric has given me permission to share what he wrote.
So, I wrote up instructions, using Eric’s methods. If interested you can read them at How to Write Ads for USFreeads.

Hello all,
Right now I am working on getting backlinks to my new niche stores by creating ads on USFreeads. If you aren’t familiar with this method of site promotion you might want to give it a try. There are a few good reasons for doing this.
First, USFreeads is constantly indexed by search engine spiders, including Google. This means your sites are likely to be quickly indexed if you use USFreeads to advertise. But even if it doesn’t your stores will still show up in auction results because ads on USFreeads …
