The person I deal with is not too tech / web savvy (I recently changed hosting and since he is a contact on the WhoIs for the domain, he got the DNS change notification from Domain tools - he FWD it to me in a panic thinking someone was trying to steal it (after I told him I was moving it)).

These books also are not the type that people who read ebooks would want to get. The second issue is that probably 50% of the people who would buy the books are long term dog professionals, mostly over 50, who generally are not to web savvy either (I said GENERALLY). The books are also meant as reference guides / coffee table books (neither of which do well as ebooks to the non-techie community).

His books are in demand - he takes as many as he can when he flies to dog shows and sells out 99% of the time (he'll pocket over $1200 in books sales in one weekend at a show).

I've been asking him to keep sending me articles for the site, preferably one a month so the spiders see that the site is updated frequently and therefore gets a higher results for searches. Luckily, his writing style is natural for SEO.
