you are in a very competitive market, but that should not discourage you.

you should get some paid directory submissions.

you need some page rank before asking people for link exchange, most would not be interested in exchanging links with you, what's in it for them.

first place would be microsoft small business directory at http://sbd.bcentral.com/ US $ 45 A year

Second would be Yahoo Directory athttp://dir.yahoo.com/ US $ 299 a year.

Third will be Business.com at http://www.business.com/

what you have to do here to submit to approperiate and related catagory.

These should hopefully give you some page rank and get all your pages indexed.

you can search for more paid and free directories.

once you have some page rank, then it becomes easy to ask people for link exchanges.

Thanks for your advice, but could you help by offering advice on how I can sell on Yahoo auctions and MSN Shoopping

Thanks

they all have their programs, like Froogle has a program where you upload a list of all your products with links to its pictures and the product themselves, you will just have to spend some time in learning how to participate in these programs.

There is also a project called google Base.

you should also check out Yahoo Stores.

some are free programs, some are paid, you will have to do some research on what people are selling there and how they are selling it.

do you have competition there already. or is it easy street.

Hi thanks again for that, I'm already got products on froogle it's Yahoo and MSN i would likt to post items now but can't find out how.
Is there a way to get a page rank for free by any chance?

[khurramali]

you can get page rank for free, but you will have to work for it, Write articles - distrubute them on article websites, write press releases etc.

It is faster and effective to just buy some links. example paid directory submissions.

for branding reasons you should look into getting on the 2 main shopping engines. They both cover most of europe and the USA.

* www.pricerunner.co.uk UK
* www.pricerunner.com USA

* kelkoo : if you are listed on kelkoo you are also listed on yahoo shopping as they are one and the same.
