Hello, my name is Eric...and I'm a BANS-aholic! I joined BANS in December 07' with hopes of making some extra income. So far, I think BANS is a great product and has a lot of potential! I signed up for the 12 Week program for the learning experience and also for motivation! Looking forward to interacting w/all of you! 
I submitted a site the other day to Stumble, almost immediately I received almost 160 hits for a 24 hour period. I understand the concept of adding your site to multiple directories. But isn’t the idea to get people to buy stuff from your BANS store?
I have multiple BANS sites, some do well and some do poor. I can’t put my finger on a good way to keep my stats up. I guess what I am trying to say is that submitting your site to directories just isn’t enough. It takes a lot of hard work, a little luck and some pretty good knowledge of SEO. I’d like to see his stats a month from now.
Nice. I like how you broke down the brand names. Hows that done?
Eric –
I like the category structure myself! It looks like you are definitely on the right path with this site!

Guys…thanks so much for the compliments! I was a bit worried that I was sort of “all over the place” with my categories….it’s great to hear that people are finding it pretty easy to navigate.
Jab…In my limited experience with SEO, submitting to directories is more about gaining links and link popularity than it is about driving customers and sales. When I submit to a Digg or a StumbleUpon, I’m not really looking for targeted customers. What I do want is the search engines to see the link and then crawl my site from there. It’s a great way to get deeper pages on your BANS sites indexed.
Again, I have very limited experience with SEO…so maybe Mark can clear things up a bit.
Scott…I’m not sure what your question is, but basically I ran a keyword search and created categories according to # of searches. Take for instance the Samsonite link…when I continue on with this site, I plan on finding many different Samsonite models that I will list under the Samsonite categorie.
Hopefully, that clears things up a bit…..
