Another Update About CNC Jewelry Store



Just a few words about the CNC Jewelry Store. Since I moved from Auctiva Web Hosting to BISI hosting I have worked as hard as my illness will let me.
Starting 2010 the search engines especially Goggle has changed the rules to get a high page rank. Up to this year it was all about keywords. Example: I sell sterling silver jewelry so I need to put sterling silver jewelry just about every place on the web site. This year keywords have changed. By looking at my web site the home page is just about one subject and all keywords are about that page. Over to the right under information you will see titles to different pages like, plain silver rings, CZ rings, and so on. Instead of having one main page with all the information on it I now need at least six, they say.
CNC Jewelry Store is coming along with that part of the SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Another change is link exchange. In other words I have to get other sterling silver jewelry sellers to post a link with my URL: http://www.cncjewelrystore.com/ back to my store and I must do the same for them. If the other store uses keywords like mine and the higher the page rank they have that will help me with my page rank through Goggle. As of now Goggle has not ranked my web site.
What does this page rank have to do with anything, you say. If you are familiar with typing some words into a search block (those words you typed in are keywords) and let that search engine search the web for you and you search comes up on the first page it means that URL has a higher page ranking.
Just a couple of other things that must be done is Blogs like this one. You will notice that CNC Jewelry Store are high lighted and they are click able which means they are linked back to the web page. Then there is the twitter thing. I post about 15 post a day on twitter and I now have 1200 followers on twitter. Then there is the FaceBook or Myspace and I chose facebook. I have over 300 friends on billy facebook but to offer an business on facebook you must make what they call a page. My page is cncjewelrystore and you can click here and go there and join as a fan. Getting people to sign up as fans on the store page is a lot harder. I only have 55 at this time.
Now the reason for catching you up on the store is that I have so much work to do on SEO I only get to add maybe 2 items a day. As I get more on there and have more time I will start offering some special low prices, free shipping and other promotional offers.
Thanks and until the next time.

Blog Update

It has been awhile since I made any comments on my blog. I want to catch you up to what has happened in the past few months. First thing most of you noticed is the new logo. Yes I have changed web hosting company and completely changed the web site. New template, layout and all. Take a look at CNC Jewelry to see what is new.
I hope the second thing you noticed is I have lowered and in the process of lowering all my prices. For those that have been with us for a while you may remember reading on the eBay, eBid and store page about us is that Brenda and I are both disabled. I have not made any profit from eBay or any of our CNC Jewelry store. Reason being is that I am suffering from severe depression and am on medical care of the VA Hospital and they keep me pretty well doped up. So I work on projects as I can. I do promise my customers that I at least check emails everyday so that if I have a sale or question I do respond to that.
Being that I’m disabled and draw social security disability I am not able to work and this is the truth, this is a hobby for me. I love doing just about anything on the computer. I use to be a gamer and spent all my free time online playing America’s Army war games. We even had a web site and squads and all. We were known as 7th rangers just in case anyone remembers.
Another thing I enjoyed was flight sims. I have owned and played every Microsoft flight sim up til this last one. I purchased extras or really just about anything that was available for the sim. I also loved fighters and probably owned every flight sim that had anything to do with flying fighters. Even the sorry ones that were uploaded and played once or twice and then deleted.
After I had my second nervous breakdown I gave up all of this because with depression I can not concentrate, maintain attention and basically I lost all interest in it. In fact I had just purchased a High End computer from Dell just before I had a breakdown. It was Dell’s best XPS at the time. Fastest processor, maxed out ram and best graphic card on the market at the time. But due to my nervous breakdown I never loaded the first game on that computer.
Because of the breakdown I lost interest in everything and I would sleep 20 hours a day. Being in this shape I was not able to work and being a truck driver I failed the DOT physical any way. Being without a job and living on our savings it was starting to run low. I started selling all my old games and hardware on eBay and it went in a hurry. That is how I got started with my new hobby of selling on-line.
Now something about the present. I hope you noticed the prices are a lot lower than before. Since this is my hobby and something to keep me from going completely crazy, prices are based on $8.00 over cost. Since I do not have a lot of money I buy all my products from a wholesale dealer. If I had the money I have contacts over seas where I could buy large amounts of jewelry and prices would be even lower. If you take the title and copy and paste into google and search most the times my product is the lowest priced. Now remember there are still some large jewelry retailers out there that buy large quantities of merchandise at time and they are lower than my prices. But some items I can match them.
From the sales I make I use to keep the web site open and all the little extras. You do not realize what you must have until you open a store online. The shipping price pays the postage, buys the wrapping material and shipping boxes. Like I said at the beginning this is my hobby and I am not trying to make any money. I do use financial software and file taxes every year and I have not made a penny. In fact I lose money every year. That is the main reason I had to close the eBay store. Their fees got so high even thou I am a power seller and Top Seller. I promise you I did not gain that status because of the profit I made but by the customer service i provided.
I want to thank you reading my blog and please drop by CNC Jewelry Store see what we have to offer.

Sterling Silver Gemstone Rings

Silver gemstone jewelry is more popular now than ever in the history of man, due in great part to the the wide selection of gemstones on the market and the complete palette of fabric colors that are readily seen fashioned into bright and varied clothing choices. Men and women now have the liberty of matching their jewelry to their clothing as computer enhanced coloring makes any hue, color, or tone possible. The lions share of sterling silver gemstone jewelry, including silver gemstone rings, arise from manufacturing plants in Thailand, and to a lesser extent, Italy, Spain, and the United States.

Criteria for categorization in this family of silver rings includes at least one significant and substantive gemstone and a sterling silver setting. Styles include silver bands, silver cross rings, silver heart rings, men's turquoise rings as well as turquoise wedding bands, shrimp rings and a plethora of other styles.
