It’s Always Summer Somewhere!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I haven't really been concentrating on my Ebiz2, which is my kayak store.  After all, it's winter in the States, who is going to buy a kayak.  I posted back in October that the PPC campaign was not going to work for this site.  So I began to concentrate on ...

Monday, December 29th, 2008
