HomeDogTreats.com |
Home Dog Treats (Launched 04/2008) Marketing a recipe and nutritional e-book package for dog owners. I designed and produced the site in under a day using images acquired from iStockPhoto and basic HTML and CSS. The text on all pages is packed with keywords and optimized for the major Search Engines. This domain has no history or existing traffic, so I will be carefully documenting traffic and conversions as I begin the marketing process. Between organic SEO, link-building, some paid search, and a clickbank affiliate program, I expect traffic to grow quickly. |
eShopForPets.com |
eShopForPets (Launched 03/2008) is a virtual shopping mall for pet-related supplies, books, etc. The front-end is powered by PHP and the entire back-end is provided by Amazon.com’s Web Services. Similarly powered stores have been added to QueerSeek, ChristSeek and ForSaleInCanada. This site was put together and configured in just over an hour. A sitemap was submitted to Google & Yahoo on Mar 27th and we’ll see how long it takes to get listed. |
QueerSeek.com |
QueerSeek (since 1999) began as a small collection of links on my hard-drive and 8 years later is one of the largest non-adult GLBT directories on the web… mainly because most others have long since shut down. Powered by PHP/MySQL, QS continues to be the site I play with the most, trying new features and testing software mod’s and updates. Revenue is derived by both paid listings, as well as GoogleAds. You can see a sample of an earlier version of this site towards the bottom of this page. |
VancouverCoast.com |
VancouverCoast (Launched 11/2007) is a visitor resource directory for the Vancouver Coast Region of British Columbia, including Vancouver Island. With the Olympics coming in 2010 I decided to try and fill a hole left by the sale of Vancouver.com, which no longer seems to contain anything other than advertising. The site is powered by the same software as QueerSeek and ForSaleInCanada. I have created templates and customized the script to meet the needs of each site. |
VancouverCoast.com/Blog |
VancouverCoast Blog (Launched 02/08) is a great example of a remotely-hosted version of WordPress blog software. I launched this blog to provide both information about Vancouver, Whistler and the coming Olympics, but to also give the hungry search engines dynamic and keyword filled content to chew on  Articles are legally provided from a variety of sources. The source is noted at the bottom of each post. |
ChristSeek.com |
I originally designed and built ChristSeek (Launched 05/2004) for a client in Edmonton. Unfortunately they did not feel like paying their bill, or accepting the finished product, so I decided to keep it (it’s currently for sale). The most interesting part was scripting and perfecting the online scripture search tools. The text files are quite large but the speed at which results are delivered is amazing. Give it a try! Try a simple term like “Jacob”. While not exactly my cup of tea, it’s a fun site to play with. |
ShowMeLinks.com |
ShowMeLinks (Launched 03/05) is a meta-search tool. It takes your query and searches several large directories and search engines and returns results based on relevancy. I didn’t write the script, but I’ve modified it and created the design. It’s really just a venue for delivering GoogleAds and links to my other sites. |
ForSaleInCanada.com |
ForSaleInCanada (Acquired 05/2004) has gone through several revisions since I purchased the domain in 2004, including a real estate directory and classified ads. It’s current incarnation as a Canadian Business and Shopping Directory first appeared in 2006 and has been a success as far as traffic and clients paying to get listed. Powered by the same core software as QueerSeek and VancouverCoast. |

Stay Tuned (Launching 00/00) I’m sure there will other new sites as I dream up new ideas and start taking on external projects! |
