eBackroad.com is a directory and search system that serves hundreds of independent North American websites. It focuses on websites that offer building plans, kits, manufactured buildings, building and landscape products, gardens, furnishings, crafts and good advice. Websites are listed because they offer innovative products, attractive designs, extensive product lines, exceptional customer service or valuable advice. It depends on cooperative referrals of website visitors and customers. It's an online country village where visitors can stroll from one interesting shop to the next.
If you're like most Internet retailers, your sales come from just two percent of your website's visitors. That means that ninety eight of every one hundred visitors leaves your website to search for something else. And, guess what? It's just the same for every other small web shop. Why waste 98% of your marketing efforts? Why not refer your visitors to other great shops, and have those shops refer their 98% to you? eBackroad gives you a way to easily share your click-away visitors and to get new customers in return.
Don't worry if Internet superhighway is passing you by. There are thousands of people on the eBackroad every day. Stop fretting about optimizing your website for the big search engines. There are millions of websites competing for a handful of search engine listings. Stop tying to swap links. You have much better things to do with your time. Just post your web shop on the eBackroad and then get back to your real work.
