Prepairing For Holiday Sales

I'm looking forward to this holiday. I'm interested in seeing what kind of sales my online stores will have this year. This holiday season, I've been spending time getting a jump on the marketing and exposure of my sites.

November sales appear to be up already. Hopefully the sales volume can be sustained even after the holidays. This years economic meltdown has really affected everyone, although I'd say that alot of online stores have been recession proof.

Some Deep Linking

It's been a little while since I've done some deep linking to some of the inner pages on the various sites I work on. Deep linking is great to help improve the total number of pages that will be in the Google index.

So here are some sites currently being worked on:

1. EcoFriendlyShoppingOnline.com - Currently focuses on Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, Power Inverters, Rechargeable Batteries and eco-friendly lightbulbs.

2. WeKnowPhoto.com - Currently focuses on Digital Cameras, Film Cameras, Flashes, Lenses, Tripods, Drives and Memory.

3. AllPhoneDeals.com - Currently focuses on Cell Phones, Office Phones, Voip Phones and Cellular Accessories.

4. InsideAndOutHomeDecor.com - Currently focuses on kitchen furniture, housewares, small appliances and outdoor decor.

5. StockMyOffice.com - Currently focuses on office electronics, office and school supplies, computers and office furniture.

6. 75Direct.com - Currently focuses on skateboarding, surfing, skiing and paintballing.

7. ParadiseBeautySupply.com - Currently focuses on makeup, skincare, haircair and fragrances.

8. DvdSmartReviews.com - focuses on well... dvds.

9. Consoles-Stores.co.uk - focuses on the ps3, xbox 360 and the nintendo wii.

10. OurColony.net - focuses on pc games, sony psp and nintendo ds.

Wow, that's quite a few new sites and categories. I didn't exactly link as deeply as I would like, just basically did one link away from the homepage. Link building typically takes some time in anycase, but hopefully these new links will pass on just a touch of pr.
