Thanks, this forum site is great very useful information and tools.

I am a bit  confused with those tools, I am not sure how accurate they are, I know I have lots of back links  and you put them in one of those back link analyzer tools they show  very few. At the same time I can go to many directories, where I have links to my site, the links show in the directories but it did not show up in the analyzer. I use the SEO Elite, same problem.

From this forum site I tried the “Check How Many Pages You Have Indexed” tool  it shows zero but when you click on the “view”  link it shows over  350.

It is good to know the problems but the more you analyze it the crazier you get. I am slowly going in this pass.

Itsy bitsy baby gifts was setup so professional looking.  From the perspective of some online business marketer and website developer of course they are always gonna find something wrong with your site, however the customer base that will be visiting your site will find it to be very, very professional and appealing.  It speaks literally volumes to the internet user to go deeper into the site. Very user friendly and easy to navigate.  I really really think it is top notch.

There has to be a many a late nights tied up in the incipient stages of your site, I know.

I wish I could get mine to that point. If you would like to review mine and take a look at it, spread the good news around for me and I for you.

Notice web link in signature.

Take care, I will definitely bookmark this one. Chris

I really like the design and layout looks good and the prices are nice good job keep up the good work valerie

Hi,
I enjoyed looking all over your site. I have teenagers now, but it's always fun to look at baby stuff. You have a great variety of products, they are presented clearly with good pictures.
The striped background did sort of hit me at first, but the more I looked around, I decided I liked the striped background. A lot of the favorite color schemes are mixing brown with something. Your brown stripes go well with the pink and blue items. I think it is unique and I would definately shop on your site.
On the "contact me" page, have you considered adding your name with the email address and toll free #? It may be nice to know that there is a real person somewhere.
I also have my own site, and believe it or not, I am selling Baby Bedding and a few other items! I also have spent 10 million hours learning this & that, since I started out with no knowledge. I just opened my store about 3 weeks ago. I am telling you all this because I know how much work went into your website design and with adding all the products. You did a fantastic job!
I wish you all the best and great success
Lori

Very nice, not much to say about room for changes, there is something slightly bugging me about the colour scheme.
Very proffesional, espeically considering it is not your full time job.
Off topic - how is Pappashop for stock control?

Hi,

To your inquiry, Pappashop Host is the best. I do not use their stock control, because I do not have any stock, but there service and support  is above the norm.

I reccomend them highly.

Hi Lori,

Thank you so much for your compliment. Only someone who works on websites can appreciate the time goes into a site.

I also spent thousands of hours to set it up and many more thousands on SEO. Now I have a PR #2. It takes time. Unfortunately this is what I don't have. 

Just now when the sales are coming in I may have to sell it.  I have an other full time business and I have no time for this little baby site. It is killing me because all the work went to it and I know that it will do very well. But I would need time to update prices products etc.

Your baby bedding site is lovely, wish you all the best with it.

The name is great. Memorable. In the cart is there a way to have a Other Customers have bought this as well? This will increase awareness for different products.

I am not fond of the brown color here either it takes away from the green and pink which goes nice together.  I also seem to get lost in the side bar choices.  Maybe they could be categorized or alphabetized better.  I loved the name and the top layout....Looks Great!!  I also thought the 10percent off and free shipping seemed lonely or out of place a bit...maybe because there was no verbage to balance it some.  Something was missing there.  Just my thoughts, hope this helps.

I really like it alot the design is great prices and all the new mommys need for the baby. Keep up the good work I would not change a thing. val

Suzanne, what can I say? It's absolutely precious! The colors are right and easy on the eyes. It's laid out well and easy to get to where the user wants to go.

My kids are all grown now--wish I had some grandbabies to spoil; I'd definitely shop at your site!

What a well-designed site!  If only I had your expertise in getting visits to my site!  Your main page is pleasing to look at, the color combinations are great!  The viewer knows exactly what the site is attempting to sell and great samples are given.  Although you have a wide variety of links, they are spread out very well so the site doesn't look too busy at all.  If I still had young children, I think I would immediately get a feeling that I could trust your company simply on its visual presence.

Nice stuffs for babes!

Very nice colours and graphics which are relative to babies. I find the colour of the clothes to be good also.

However the images in (Itsy Bitsy Reminder) are not well contrasted. Either ther are over blown or the reverse. It would have been very nice if one is able to read the writing on that image.

I am on a slow loading line and qualify as mother and grandma who would possibly be interested in your site.

I like friendly baby sites.  Your colors are lovely.
I think you could scale down the banner on top it dominates the page.  It is very nice but not if somebody is searching the site over and over.  Maybe as is on the first page and smaller versions on the rest.
That is not all that important, but try it.
I also like your menu.  I did not run through all of it but I got along fine in it.
I take it you downsized your pictures as it loaded fast enough on my slow line.

Additional Comments
Hi Everybody,

I would love to have your opinion on my little site. I spent 6 months to put it together , I took hundreds of online courses, advices from gurus, read every book written on this subject, spent hundreds of hours on SEO.  When I started I knew nothing about website creation, never mind SEO.

I have launched it in October, now I am getting orders, without paying Google PPC.
Managed this week to get it up to PR 2.

Still lots to do, (too bad I have a real job, which does not leave me enough time to work on this new hobby of mine)  to get it up in the top, but I am determined to do so.

Please hit me with your criticisms,  bad or good, I will listen to all.

Many thanks for your time in advance.   

Suzanne

Well people covered up pretty much everything in the previous comments, but i would add that the menu on the left site is way to pacted, put less links, but more globals ones, and sub-menu it there after.

The first thing that popped up in my mind was beautiful. I love the pastels. Wow, I guess you republished as I was going for a second look. You over killed the word personalized in your meta as well as on the page. The second time it was fixed. Good move. It wasn't good reading and way overdone in your tags.
Maybe I'm dense but I can't figure out that spider looking object on the right of your header and above go shopping. I can only guess it is supposed to be a mobile. I won't sleep tonight wondering probably. Good work on your site. Keep plugging away. You have talent.

Thank you for your complement.

I am not clear about your reference the site being republished. It was not re-written. We had some server problems in the past few days perhaps this is what you have seen.

The little pink spider is the lucky logo of my company, if you are familiar with the nursery song "Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the water spout......"
Hope you will sleep better now. It also could be a mobile or whatever you imagination takes you to. This is the idea!

I really love it!
Nice colors and very easy to use!
Keep going your good work!

Lovely place!
