We did it! We went live this weekend (with the white template). Very exciting. I can't stop checking Statcounter to see how many page hits we're getting. How long before Google starts indexing?

Give yourself 3 months
That's what I figured. I am in the process of putting it into various directories and Alexa. It's a start.
According to the internal stats on Volusion - the googlebot has already visited me 19 times.
CONGRATS!!!!! That is worthy of celebration. Did ya?
Too dang tired :p - will celebrate when I get my first order.
Go to starbucks, get a bold, black coffee, then go celebrate! :)
Hopefully you have put up an XML sitemap and submitted it to Google and Yahoo and added the correct line to your robots.txtThis will some of the major search engines spider your websiteCode:Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
Ah - thank you for reminding me:o
Hee Hee - I just got my first hit from a search done on Google (I was on page 1) :D
It take so little to make me happy :rolleyes:
Starting your own business successfully is a damn good reason to be happy, I think.
Congratulations, J. Your site looks very nice. Hope your business booms.
I must ask, though. How much of that layout is a template, and how much is your creation?
The header/Logo (such as it is) is mine. I did use a basic template that Volusion supplies but the color choices and category/product creation and organization are mine.
What sort of control over the organization do you have?
It depends in what area. The nav menu, footer and header are pretty set as to where they are at and the size they are, unless I know .asp (which I don't). What order the categories, products or anything else shows up in is my call.
