An bit of an dodgy / slow start to the year. Especially with Justsalou website, which I thought would have done better at the start of the year when people are thinking about their holidays.
Come March things started to roll and I soon started to see it was not going to be that bad after all, with the site now in its second full year. 2008 saw 13184 visits and 43675 page views with 2009 to date coming in at 23,814 visits and 78,332 page visits, which considering the Euro and the recession I was quite pleased with.
Last year I decided to have a go at the Gift and presents market, nothing big, more of 'something to do' than anything else. In November this year I decided to have a play around again with JustThese, much happier with it now and just need to get some content on there. An ond link from the TimesOnline christmas gift guide for 2008 is getting more visitors to the site than it did last year, even though the product it was linking to is no longer available on there.
Most visitors from Google are for the phrase 'gifts under £5.00' which I seem to be placed No2 and No.3 for so can't be too bad. As for sales nothing great as yet, but there are sales and good commission sales too with the highest priced sale from the site at £154.95.
All in all not a bad year, with better results than 2008 so I cannot grumble, but most of all it has given me that push to carry on for a 2010.
