Website Traffic

I think it would be sensible to look at a real hosting alternative, but it depends on what your aspirations are, ie is this a full time business, evening project, etc. This will then decide on the amoint of effort and any outlay.

Ref the anchor text, you can use this when you are link building.

eg heres one of our links that we use:
<a href="http://www.mylocalservices.co.uk/">The Online Business Directory</a> - My Local Services - Expose your business.

So in this case, the "The online business directory" is the anchor text. You can change it for any phrase or keyword that you are looking for, and as Tomsk says, you can point back to any page in your website, if you were looking to promote something thats not on your home page.

I'm new here but did go type in your url in Google. You've been listed, have your LinkedIn profile done and it seems the only thing now is to get out of the forest of other candle companies online.

Have you linked any of your blog posts (I've looked at that too), to the other places you have a profile? What I didn't see was a coupon for buying candles, which might also give you an in-bound link. Also, have you Tweeted your own store and blog? Good idea to do that maybe twice a month, if you have a sale going on Tweet it.

One last thing that may seem old school but works to get people at least to visit - ping your site's url. just go to google and type in 'feedshark' or 'pingoat'. Once you get to either one it's pretty simple.

Visit some other candle sites for ideas on what they're doing. If one has a blog, post a relevant (not spammy or silly) comment and get a link back to your site.

This is only a short list of what to do to get going. Give it time because even online, it takes time to get anything going.
