Well today I have been working a lot on the sites optimisation for various terms including: "branded flash drives" "printed flash drives" "branded usb drives" and anything with variations there of.

From what I understand there are a lot of different ways to work on the SEO of your site.  I've been using this 101 Link Building and SEO tips website for a bit of a guide.  I have worked on several other flash drive sites to try to achieve good ranking in the search engines.

I have received some good results for specific neiche terms in the search engines.  But generally the terms "flash drives"  and " branded memory sticks" and anything that is generally less specific are much harder to rank with.

Having said that the site has been up only a week or so and we have already have contact from a couple of new suppliers in the far east already!  So they are definatly finding the site some how.

One of the search terms we rank well with on yahoo but not so much google is "cheap memory sticks"  I'm thinking that google has probably banned the site due to what I think they would class as keyword spamming.   Well you live and learn by your mistakes and this site is going to be a massive information base for flash drives and memory sticks.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at putting a few tables and charts in HTML for the past rise and fall of flash drive prices accross the UK and mainland ASIA, apart from the huge purchase by Apple back in March last year that drove the prices through the roof, the prices for flash drives and memory sticks have been steadily on the delcline due to the drop in the NAND chips.
