KC Bead Designs Top 100 Artisan Jewelry Sites List
In the constant search for additional ways to promote, advertise and market my website store, I have created and am sponsoring a new Top 100 Site List.
Description: Browse and find Artisan Jewelry Sites featuring unique handcrafted jewelry, original lampwork beads and custom cut semi-precious gemstones by some of the finest artisan jewelry designers, handcrafted jewelry artists, lampwork glass artists, and lapidaries providing custom jewelry supplies online.
If you are interested in visiting my Top 100 Artisan Jewelry Sites List you can click here. Join and add your website, store, blog, forum, etc. related to artisan jewelry/designers, handcrafted jewelry/artists, lampwork glass artists/beads and lapidary jewelry design supply. I paid a yearly subscription fee to my Top 100 List provider to have my list be “advertising free” so there are no paid advertisement links appearing on my list to compete or draw visitors away from the sites added to my list.
For those interested in creating their own Top 100 List and for shoppers curious about what they are I have added this informational article:
What is a Top 100 Site List and how does it work? This is a list you create for a group of people to add (join) their website banner, description, and url making a directory of websites relating to the list topic. In exchange for adding their website to your list, the website owner places a link to your list somewhere on their website that contains their member code. When visitors to the website click on the link a vote is registered for the website on the Top 100 List. These incoming votes accumulate and move the website banner up in rank on the Top 100 List. When visitors browsing the Top 100 List click on a banner a vote is registered for the website as an outgoing vote. The more incoming votes a website receives, the higher in rank the banner will appear on the list.
So, what is the benefit of joining a Top 100 List? The most important reason to join a Top 100 List is to gain internet exposure for your website. The list provides “free” advertising promotion and increases traffic that may generate more sales for the website. If the webmaster for the list is promoting and advertising the Top 100 List and the list is growing, when the search engines crawl the list it will be indexed and included in their search results.
How do you create your own Top 100 List? There are several companies on the web who offer free Top 100 List templates for you to create and sponsor your own Top 100 list. You decide on a topic or group that you want to target for your list and fill out the template. You will need to complete a list of rules or facts for your list, create banners for the site to be placed somewhere on the joining website and then monitor the list to approve new members and keep the site neat and pleasurable for browsing visitors. Top 100 Lists are fairly automatic in operation but to be successful it is an ongoing process that will require time and commitment from the webmaster who creates the list the keep it growing and fresh to attract new members.
’till next time!
