Being in the website design business for many years and coupled with the recent downturn of our nations economy, we are frequently asked the following question: Why is my site not generating SALES? So after diving down to the root of this problem and analyzing websites that work with websites that do not, we have come to the following conclusion. That running an On-Line store takes as much commitment, energy, focus and time as running a "Brick and Mortar" store does. The main flaw people have with the on-line world is that just because you have a site and offer products on your site, doesn't mean that:
A) People will actually find your site and
B) That once people have found your site they will automatically buy your products.

The most important component for Search Engines is providing useful, up-to date, original website content. Search engines pay attention to how many pages you submit and how many times your pages have been updated or changed. They also pay attention to how relevant your text is. Google for example has a program that searches the web and finds how many websites use the exact or close to the same information. This helps them find which sites have duplicate information and are irrelevant to Web Searchers. Google also notices when you stop updating content. So while adding new content helps, not adding content for an extended period of time will hurt your rankings as well.
