It's been a busy couple of weeks. I think I've got all the links and H1s, etc. right now, for both all the items and catalogues. Ready to re-submit sitemaps to Google et al (they were confused by my shoddy site structure, I think).
I've tried to rectify it with a small 301 script to make sure that all catalogues and products have the same metas - title, H1, url, etc. Hopefully, I've done it right.
The MySpace account seems to be going well, too. A recent push to a load of Gothy-type people in Germany brought a noticeable peak in the Google Analytics graph. It's nice to see. And gothers.com and Bizarre are getting the word out pretty well. Social media marketing seems a bit slow to me, but at least I know I'm targeting the right people.
Also, I can re-do the Google Base files. I'm thinking about putting the German one there, too.
That's it for now. See it all at http://fantasyshoe.com.

New Catalogue
Well, the catalogue page is updated. I reckon it looks loads better.
Quite a few of the shoes are mis-tagged, though.

Bad Catalogue, Good Ads
The catalogue page is terrible. It's the second most popular page according to Analytics and it's a bit rubbish.
I can't decide what to do with it.
The new ads panel (bottom of all pages) looks pretty good though, I reckon. We'll see how that goes.

Scrolling Index Photo and Improved Tags
I've changed the main image on the home page to a scroller and am updating all the tags to better navigate the site.
I've also put a couple of new affiliates there. We'll see if they work.
The voting's been going well, too. Here's the current front-runners...
So we like the the corset thing , then? I'll do something about that.

A Load of Work
Well, we've worked hard for a bit and hope we've improved a few things.
First was figuring out how to convert international sizes. I reckon it's close now.
But just now... The New for 2010 bit has just been switched on.
We'll getting all the spec for those over the next few weeks, or so.
Quite a few a are duplicates, so we'll start building in some kind of 'Multi-View', or 'See in Different Colour' thing.
On that note, to all of those who've asked for photos of different colours and materials, we can only apologise but have to remind you that WE HAND MAKE ALL ORDERS, so almost exclusively, the answer is "I'm afraid not."
So anyway, if we don't speak again beforehand, have a good Christmas.

Sexy Boots and the American Isthmus.
Well then...We're a few months into the new site and frankly, things are going pretty well.
We've got just short of 170 styles going, and as soon as our web guy pulls his finger out of his arse, there'll be maybe, twice that. (Just joking, he's working hard.)
Most of you (our most welcome and valued customers) are from the UK we notice, but you Americans are catching up pretty quick. You've been gaining consistently for the last three months. C'mon, you American cousins. Just a little more effort and you'll be kicking our limey asses.
Rather disappointing however, are you good folk over in Costa Rica. Just one visit. Just one. From Cartago, just outside San Jose. You only looked at one page. What's up? Didn't you like it? Why not? Now, I know Costa Rica, I was there for a few years and I know the Costa Ricans and if there's something you lot like, it's a sexy pair of boots. So show the world you can do it, Costa Rica! Explore you footwear boundries!Just joking. "Pura Vida, mae!"
Now then... the Goth pages are the most popular, closely followed by the Fetish styles. This isn't too suprising, but we were expecting better results for the Mod stuff. Bowling shoes are a constant favourite - and YES, we have them!Most of you are coming from Google (no surprise there) but an unexpected number of searches are finding our stuff using the search term 'funky shoes'. All good stuff to us, we have some pretty funky boots and shoes, as you can see.
A nice little peak in the traffic graphs was just a few days ago when some kindly person mentioned us on stumbleupon.com. Whoever you are, cheers!
Anyway, that's it for now. I have a cup of tea to make and a TV programme about particle physics to watch.
'Luego, amigos.
