Well, the newness has worn off, and the problems have set in.  Granted, it was not “build a niche’s” fault…it was my fault.  I know that Google is adament about content, but I failed to add enough.  That’s right, I got Google Slapped there too.

You have to add content to your pages in your Build a Niche store!  Do it right, and this will certainly be profitable to you.  Now, I am at a point where I am going to have to find me a new niche, and secure a new domain name.  Go slow, build slow, and make sure your site is up to snuff with what Google likes.  You do not want to have a ton of “affiliate links” on your page without having strong content.

I made the mistake of making huge sites that had a ton of products.  I have a ton of products, and ton of pages, but I didn’t go in and add valuable content to the site.  In the next go around, I am going to add one page at a time, and put the content on as I go.  This will ensure that I get good search results, and that I get valuable traffic via Google.  The fact is, a Build a Niche Store will not work if you don’t have some traffic coming from Google.  In the short term, I was building up quite the income through the Build a Niche Store model, but I obviously got greedy in my design.

So, it is back to the drawing board for me.  Don’t make the same mistakes I made!  I am going to keep my current sites up for now, but I may cut them out when my domain fees are due.  I’ll get something new, and start over.  I am also going to toy around with “regular” websites, and add in the ebay code to try and see if I can do it even better on my own.

Good luck in your online endeavors!
