Nice site. Do you own a physical collectables store or just this online one? Also, I noticed one thing that might help you improve the website. Some of the statues didn't have their height listed in the description of them. I think that is a very imporatant thing to make sure is there. When I'm buying an action figure or statue I always like to know how large it is. Again, nice site so far.

Did you make this site or is it prepackaged?? I ask because if it's a pre-made site, then you'll never get any unique traffic. What kind of liberties do you have?? For example, are there 300 other people posting the exact same site?? You would be entirely surprised at how many people have websites that have no idea what-so-ever as to how to get any search engine traffic. If you have full control over this site, then there are many improvements that can be made. For one, the way the keywords are set-up sucks (I really don't mean to be negative, but I'd like to give you an honest, straight=forward opinion). For example, it looks as if ALL of your pages have the same keywords. If I click on "Lord of the Rings", I get the exact same keywords as if I go to your homepage. This is bad. When I go to your "Lord of the Rings" page, the keywords and description should be "Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", perhaps "Gollum", etc... That particular page should make no mention what so ever of Star Wars. You should consider each page it's own deal. A page that deals only with "Lord of the Rings" should state so, and a page dealing only with "Star Wars" should state so. The reason being, that if I'm looking for "Lord of the Rings" stuff, chances are I could give a crap about "Star Wars" stuff, and vice verca. If you make a page that includes both then you are watering down one or the other.

To give you an example, if I were looking for z'lotr' stuff and I entered "LOTR", I would never find your stuff, because "LOTR" is not onr of your keywords. If you have the liberty to do so, I would get a program like http://www.cyberspacehq.com/products/addweb/ . Look up your favorite keywords (I'm supposed to have an affikiate kink for this, but I don'rt so you'll get a few months free, which is more than enough to make things happen. I'll put a link up on my site for buying AddWEB, Should you decide to do so, also my webhost is on the site, just in case you need a new webhost (Mine is pretty awesome).

Just another word of advice. Make a sitemap page, which should list everything, every page and manually submit your site to both Yahoo and Google. You can find info on how to do this on their sites,

Last thing you can do is exchange links with ne, if you are inclined to do so. Also, If you'd like more help,,let me know
