End of the Summer Update

As Labor Day marks the unofficial end to a great summer I had a few minor updates related ACE Computer Services. In reality I have been trying to enjoy every last bit of summer I could (beach, pool, no school for my kids, etc.). I have not done much to the business website and have made few changes recently.

That is not to say I don't have a lot of things I would like to change and update. Hopefully I will have time in the next two weeks to usher in a bunch of changes to the web and design of the site. I also have some new advertising avenues to explore.

I will likely be dropping the affiliate links that are spread out through my site. I have been using Commission Junction (www.cj.com) and it has not been a successful venture. It is no fault of Commission Junction - rather I had never fully incorporated the links into my site, etc. I've always felt that a glutton of ads cheapens the site, or would cheapen my site, so I have always held back on using the affiliate links. Finding appropriate spots to create the links proved more difficult than I expected. I don't want to be in sell mode all the time and would rather the site be more informational than commercial. So with that the CJ ads will soon disappear. I did not live up to the agreement in terms of sales generated so they will be kicking me out as well soon too.

I took a peak today at the Google Webmaster tools and saw a ton of new links I am getting credit for. My ranking using "NJ Computer Repair" improved again. I have used that search as a benchmark to track site ranking progress. I zoomed all the way up near the top of page two on the search before tumbling back to the bottom of page three this summer. I am back up to page two. What does amaze me though is some of the jokers ranked ahead of me. The sites are outdated and I can find no discernible links to the sites, so how are they ahead of me?

That is all for now - more to come in the next two weeks as some big changes arrive. Thanks for reading!
