You mentioned "0.89$ approximate CPC"., so I was wondering. I checked your site out, and video. The site is a great start. Add a bit of content every week or month and it seems the site will grow in traffic as well.

You very well lose customers if price is their pain point, but my point was to win them over with service and marketing and keep that competitor in obscurity. Or offer to buy him out so you can shut his site down.

He may be positioning himself to be bought out of the market by you. Keep your nose to the grindstone and get market share by making customers very happy they are with you.

excuse me, yes, I intended to write UN-inhabitable. Its a fear I think is well founded considering global poisoning of air and water, CO2 emissions, uncontrolled population growth and threats to global food production capabilities, and alar
