These programs are listed on numerous software download sites. Despite all of my efforts to promote them, I have had less than 5000 visitors on my site in the past 2 years. I believe that I need this many visitors per day. So I am interested in getting help with this. I want to start small and gradually increase my standings in the search engines which will proportionately increase my sales. As my sales grow, my investment in your efforts will grow as well. Take a look at my site ( http://www.csautomation.com ) and let me know what you can do for me. I am switching my domain host that supports .NET in the next day or two and I am anticipating some database connectivity problems, but I will be promptly fixing them. Deliverables: Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. Complete copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: IIS Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on: Oct 31, 2002 EDT Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5). If the buyer omitted a time, then the deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT on the indicated date. Special Conditions / Other: I am looking for results. So the project completion would be linked to a clear pattern which demonstrates an increasing number of visitors to my web site each week. I have logs that show my current activity which you are welcome to view. Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements. We monitor all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressers on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.   Bidding/Comments: All monetary amounts on the site are in United States dollars.

We guarantee all our work to be satisfactory and provide full technical support on all projects. Do gain ranking in search engines you first have to know how they work. For instance google doesn't look at meta-tags. They scan sites for words and the sites that come up with the most references is first. Another thing to do is to offer some stuff for free.           See 10 private reply(ies) to/from Indigenous Design.
