General blogging day

That was quick. My Rose Bowl tickets were delivered Fed Ex overnight yesterday. Of course, I did get charged an extra $40 for convenience and delivery charge.
Look like the Christmas rush is over for my product. Not because I’m only getting one sale a day now, but because according to my Google Adword stats, the search engine traffic has dropped dramatically. Last week I was getting about 2000 daily impressions, now I’m getting only 1000. Yesterday was a particularly poor day with just 7 clicks from paid ads. The good news is that I still had 50+ visits from natural searches.
Trying to branch out
So far, I’ve shipped one product overseas to UK. But I’ve gotten about 10 inquiries on shipping to all parts of Europe and Australia. It’s seems like there is a demand over there but there aren’t any stores that sell the product. I did a quick search on UK’s google and found my products there for sale. I think the problem is poor SEO on the part of the stores because the US stores all came up on the first several pages. I contacted a couple stores in the UK to see if they’d would be interested in having me supply some product and got a response from one. We’ll see what matters here.
Bandwidth blog has a pretty cool post of the offices of the top internet companies. I like the minimalist, loft look of many of these offices.
If you haven’t seen the Lamborgini Reventon, it’s one mean looking machine. It’s also priced at $1.6 million and they are only making 20 of them.

Stumble it!
What is the price difference between your product and theirs? With the pound being 2x the dollar, the Euro is 1.5x the dollar . . .
It may be cheaper for them to buy from you and have it shipped versus buying it over there.

One product is $140 in the US and sells for $200 in UK dollars. I charge about $50 to ship over there so it is slightly cheaper for them. So if I can supply a UK store the same product at a decent price so they can sell at $170-$180UK, then they may get the UK customers.
