I'm currently working on the back-end of the site trying to optimize it for Google, Yahoo, & MSN.  This could possibly make the 'links' a little wacky but it should not last long. I'm aiming for us to be to be the number one search result for key words like USED SKATES but it takes time to become number one, especially when other sites us 'black-hat' tactics. Black-hat is when sites use hidden text in the website and have multiple domains pointing to the same site. Luckily Google and Yahoo look for this but it sometimes takes years before they catch it. When they do, though, its not good for those in the wrong!  I can only hope that with my hard work and the support of our skaters, we can make this site the number one source for used skates ! |

Well we got it fixed! For a brief time when a user posted an ad for used skates the ad would show up blank. It took me a few hours to track it down, but the issue has been resolved !    Post On |

We are currently looking for sites to network with us. Do you know of a skating website that www.SkateTrader.net could benefit from? This is a non-profit site currently spending all efforts towards promoting this site. With so many Roller Derby boots around the country, and the cost of skates going up, people are thinking about buying used. Where do they buy? How do they know there is not another deal out there? The answer is simple. www.SkateTrader.net is the go-to place for used roller skates and speed skates! Because this site is an out of pocket expense for me I can’t afford to pay for banner adds, but I can trade and offer you the same thing you have to offer us. Let’s work together and promote the fantastic sport of skating! For inquires about networking or site ideas please contact us. |
