Just Hike already has a good ranking in the search engines because for six years we have continued to developing it and improve keywords and text to attract search engines. This business includes a tutorial workbook that shows you how to update and maintain your website. No html knowledge is required.

Due to working full time outside the home and pursuing other projects we find we do not have enough time to devote to the site. The more time you put in the site the higher the sales are. Our best year grossed $29,130. in sales with a net of $9,301. We have had many favorable experiences and people like our site.

Just Hike Sales Information:
We are a family business with only husband and wife working on the site. After 2005 sales dropped because we have experienced ongoing personal challenges (sickness etc.) that have kept us from investing time in the website. It takes about 2-3 hours invested per day to increase sales and customer count and search engine ranking. This is done by keeping the website fresh and up to date. As you can see from this history when we were updating regularly from 2003 to 2005 we were increasing in gross income. This was done without advertising dollars. If you can afford to advertise (PPC-Pay Per Click,etc.) you attract more customers and make more sales. To maintain sales increase:
We did this by updating the site -- adding products, adding links, adding helpful information f or customers, adding new keywords in the text and submitting the site to search engines. Advertising is another option you can use—we did not use that option due to lack of capital. We worked on increasing sales by improving keywords and search engine ranking.
