Mineral Makeup Reviews is my first and one of most successful sites. It was started in March 2006. I will be adding more info here later.

Fashion Doll Guide was my second website. It is originally the one I wanted to do first, but the "numbers" weren’t all that great and even starting out I realized that this competitive and rather small niche would be "a long road to hoe". After I started my first site and started having good results, I felt like I was ready to start down the long road of Vintage Barbie…..

This site is doing very well – it has been a slow and long road, the site has over 800 pages and at least that many more. But it a work of love, I love Vintage Barbie and have been a collector for many years.

I will be writing more later.

RN Guide to Skin Care is almost 3 years old and I have never done that much with it.  I had written some content about skin care for another site but didn;t use it there.  I knew I wanted a skin care site, so I went ahead and started this site as a home for the content I had written.  Only recently have I really begun to work on it, with a new focus and site map.  After I started reorganizing it, it was completely dropped from Google.  I just kept on building and working on it and a month later it came back better than ever,  The traffic to this site has doubled in the past few months.

This site is almost three years old.  I have redone it son many items I have lost count.  It took a lot of trial and error to get it just right.  This is a very large, highly competitive niche, but the site is doing well and is finally on the right track.

Vintage Jewelry Guide  is a “spin-off” from SuzieMax.com. I moved the content from SuzieMax to Vintage Jewelry Guide. Having both Glassware and Vintage Jewelry on the same site wasn’t working. Both of them are very competitive niches and I realized that if I was going to do well in either of them I would have to separate them. I have had the Vintage Jewelry content on SuzieMax for awhile now. It will be interesting to see how the same content does on a “nicher” site.

This is a new site I have started as an experiment.  I had this domain name many years ago when I was selling vintage Barbies on eBay full time.  Recently I saw the name became available again and I was thrilled to be able pick it back up.  I belong to a beauty network and it has really helped my beauty related sites.  I have looked for some sort of vintage themed network and could not find one, so I decided to start my own.   On this site I will have info about all of my vintage site, and will also have original content about vintage items.  I may open my little “network” up to others in the future, but for now I just want to get it going with my sites.

Update 11/2011 – I have redesigned Vintage Bliss and am now using it only for Vintage Dolls.  I set up Vintage Bliss Network to be a dedicated network to my vintage sites.

Vintage Nightgowns is one of my newest sites.  After the success I had with BANS I wanted to try out a “micro-niche”.  I had always been interested in a Vintage Lingerie site, but that area is very competitive and really my only interest with Vintage Lingerie is Vintage Nightgowns.  The numbers for Vintage Nightgowns are small and so far I have been very pleased with the results for this site.

For a while, I combined this site with another vintage site. It never did as well as when it was alone, as it is now back. It is no longer a BANS site – it is on WordPress now. I love these beautiful nightgowns – I love looking at them and learning about them. They just don’t make them like the used to!!

The other similiar sites I have are Vintage Cookie Jars & Vintage Perfume Bottles.

“Back in the day” (when I first started building websites) the “thing” to do was to have a separate blog that promoted your site.  Google was really big on blogs back then.  That is whay I started The Beauty Blog.  Along the way, I decided to keep it and turn it into a “real” beauty blog.  I don’t give it as much attention as it deserves, but it does pretty good and it is still a good vehicle to promote some of my other beauty related sites.

This is the site where I get to show off!  Keywords?  I get it!  Link building?  I get it!  This is a new site and in less than 3 months it is getting over 125 visitors a day.  At least I have learned something over the last three years!  There is still a lot of work to do here – (it still has less than 30 pages) – but I am building very strong keyword focused pages slowly but surely.  I am trying to decide if I want to add a full blog to thi site or not.  I had decided no to, but I think I am about to change my mind.

Update 11/2011
The Eye Makeup Guide went away for a little while after I combined it with The Beauty Blog. I kept the domain name and recently decided to start working on it again – it always did very well on its own and I am very excited to be bringing it back! I am going to leave all of the former content on The Beauty Blog and start over with new content.
