A little help from my friends........

[Uncle Ron]

Yo, Guys ... I need some input from you ... As you know, I always have a link to connect to my little map website on my posts, even though I very rarely get links to folks looking at maps from the forums ... 99% of the website hits come from search engines ... For some reason, this year no one is connecting and ordering maps ... I must be doing something wrong and I would sure appreciate some objective (or even subjective) input or advice as to why, despite me getting a bunch of hits each day this time of year, no one is following through with map orders as in the past ... ... I sure would appreciate your honest, brutal if necessary, opinions on why ... Thanks, Yer Unc in the Dubyah

[AzNuggetBob]

Ron let me do some checking, Google is making a lot of changes. check your PM's AzNuggetBob

[Uncle Ron]

Thanks, Bob ... I appreciate it ... When I do a search on any of the SE's I come up first or at least on the front page ... Puzzling! ... Cheers, Ron

YOu're the 4th hit when I goog'd "arizona gold maps".

Maybe PAypal is your traffic jam?

[homefire]

I put this list of maps together a few years ago. I'm sure some of the links have expired but there are some good ones in here. See if there is anything for you in there.

Ron I agree with Weaver hillbille

As Im sure you know Ron its all about advertising and google pretty much controls the net.

when they change their Algorithms everyone in domaining is trying to figure out what SEO

settings they need to change to optimize their search traffic.

you may want to check your buy now buttons or paypal widgets for errors or reinstall them.

AzNuggetBob

[Uncle Ron]

Thanks, Bob ... I just got a nice map order and the buttons worked just fine on PayPal....Cheers, Ron

[Rimshot]

Ron I reckon everyone out your way already has one of your maps...just guessing. What you need to do is get the newbies interested in prospecting. Then you can sell some more.

[shep]

Unc, got your maps for everywhere I go. Probably need new places to go. Suggestion and new sales gimmick- every 10th map order gets a secret map where gold is to be found for sure!

Getting bored working, Q in 2 weeks!
