To eBay or Not to eBay? That is the question.

On a bright note, Hobby Swap has been resurrected just in time for Easter. Copy/pasting descriptions on to TLARModelsHobbyShop speeds the process! I expect to keep my listings on Hobby Swap until the bitter end. :yipee:
Whenever that may be.
 
I have never submitted SEO or whatever. Just threw the site up and see where it lands. Guess the crawlers have gotten the page rankings worked out.
I need to transfer my old website but still debating doing that. The guy that hosted the site for so many years is closing shop, I got the space just have to do the domain transfer. I've been distracted lately.

I never had before either! :lol:
 
Populating my website continues. I plan to work at it 3 evenings a week until I figure out/learn/ask for help what I must.
I appreciate everyone that has a look at tlarmodels.com.
My savvy sister saved me from filing for a federal Employee ID Number tonight. NO WAY I'm filing friggin' corporate taxes twice a year.
The shipping tool sucks. It looks like GoDaddy tries to keep everything 'In House". I already have an excellent website to ship with.
While I work on this dang thang, NO modeling is getting done.
I need to do something that doesn't make my widdle bwain ache so.
 
Search engines seem to find my site pretty, well, it depends a lot on what the first few lines of code are. I would warn you that I am no expert, this is just what seems to be working for me.

Here is the code for one of my pages, and below that a link to the page. The key element for search engines is the 5th line, <title>

Wow, just reading these last few posts have already made my widdle bwain ache! Time to go sit in the hobby room and try to drift off into the oblivion of model building....
 
If I had been overthinking this as I usually do, It looks like my long wished for tlarmodels.com on-line hobby shop is open!
I did a test buy from myself. It looks quite promising!
I have categories for Teresa's custom pens, yo-yo's and other curiosities she makes included too!
A trusted friend owned "Back aft Models" on GoDaddy. His input helped my achin' widdol bwain a bunch! :yipee:
 
Just a promotional note. Whenever you mention your website post a link to it.

@jeaton01 Careful Big Daddy, you show off coding skills you might find your self drafted on these here boards!
 
I made my first TLAR sale last night to a modeler in Idaho. tlarmodels.com actually works!!
I posted a few of Teresa's items tonight, in her very own Eggknobs & Inksticks category.

Something for the Ladies, perhaps?
