Clickhandbags.com Finds a Niche in the Online Classifieds War
(ContentDesk) December 11, 2005 -- Clickhandbags.com launched in April of this year and is now the three major search engines favorite classifieds site for the term, "Handbags."
In fact it's the first site ever to only list handbags in a venue for buyers and sellers to meet. The entire site including customer service, sales and marketing is handled by a staff of just two people. Much of this being possible because of the automated process of the php software employed. Registered users number in the thousands and traffic is increasing exponentially, in November they had over 170,000 page views. Not bad for a company in it's infancy with a marketing budget of less than $500 per month.Simon Schnieders, the company director gives us more of an insight;"Were happy with the results so far but we have much more to do.
Initially Clickhandbags.com was a test bed. We are now going to expand into clothing and other classifieds spin-off's."Which begged the question, why "Handbags?""We chose handbags because it is a strong keyword, by that I mean a search term that is frequent. Aside from the fact handbags are the most important accessory for a woman, often defining personality as well as social status."Simon seems to be philosophizing that less is more, "I believe that large sites like eBay have dominated the classifieds scene, but through a network of smaller, targeted websites we believe we can take the future. We have well grounded search engine optimization skills and are therefore able to achieve great results with small budgets. The key is optimization, the high cost of per click advertising would make it impossible for a new business start-up to survive without a big budget, the price of per click advertising is and has been crazy over the past few years, I just don't know how companies could survive on this alone."Clickhandbags.com operates from a small office in Key Biscayne village.
The location is referred to by locals as a hidden treasure off the coast of Miami, Florida."We love Key Biscayne, it affords a lifestyle unparalleled this close to a major city."To find out more about search engine optimization, the technique the company uses visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization.

Internet Marketing - The Basics (part 1)
One of the most important factors to bear in mind when planning and building your web site is what sort of visitors you are really looking for.
The process should be;
1 - Find the Target market
then
2 - Get them to visit your site
If you don't proceed in this way then you might get great amounts of visitors to your site but they may not be 'quality' visitors...
i.e. they may have stumbled upon your site whilst actually looking for something else..
something you do not offer.
So If you have a site that sells red leather jackets and you promote your site under the category of 'clothing' then you will probably get many visitors coming to your site all looking for some item of clothing.
If you fine tune your advertising from the start it is possible to pre-qualify the web site visitor a little so that you will only receive hits from those who are looking for...
