Why is the Adventurous Muse Store Site Still Active?
You might wonder why we continue to keep the Adventurous Muse Store site active. The reasons are simple.
There are literally hundreds of links from other sites to the Adventurous Muse Store. We have worked hard to provide links at just about anyplace someone might land as a result of a search (i.e. Google, Bing, etc.) to our exciting new online store, Don Rickert Musical Instruments (www.RickertMusicalInstruments).
- High SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Value:
We worked very hard over a period of several years to have the Adventurous Muse Store show up in Google searches. There have been and continue to be many daily visitors to the site, despite the dwindling number of available products as we moved items to the new Don Rickert Musical Instruments store.
At a certain point, we decided that we would rather sell one instrument at a fair price than 10 instruments at an absurd bargain price. This decision resulted in raising the prices of our instruments to realistic levels and to discontinue selling marginally-profitable items like rosin and strings.
Once the prices went up, most visitors became “window shoppers.” A small percentage of current visitors are actual committed musicians and we want to direct them to where they should be going—the Don Rickert Musical Instrument site.
