Hi guys,

Ive recently got myself a very basic website and ive had superb fun playing with it.

Its not finished yet, but how do you get it noticed without paying too much?

Ive  obviously put it on my windows cleaned today tickets but how do I get it noticed on the search engines.

Thanks for any help.

Dean


Oh its www.deantabernerwindowcleaning.com   

[matt]

very nice

vista print web site by the looks of it

meta name="description" content="Dean Taberner Window Cleaning - Stoke-On-Trent. 24hr nationwide service available.. Leave Blank">
    meta name="keywords" content="Dean Taberner Window Cleaning, Leave Blank, Stoke-On-Trent">

you could expand the keywords a little more, you have added Stoke on trent, you could add the post codes you cover, surrounding area's, window cleaning, window cleaner etc etc

you could try some of the link exchanges that people have on the go

Thanks matt,

Ive already got a links page,

Does that help?

What was all of that martian writing that you've just posted?

Can you edit the code directly,.. or even just add some more meta tags?

its in the top few lines of your site, i am not sure you can edit the code directly with vista ? ? ?

ref the links, you need to get people to LINK TO YOURS, a few on here will exchange link , so you link to there and they link to yours

Alright m8 looks good - what company or program did you use to build your site?

[Dean Taberner]

Hi Wrekin,

It was through Vistaprint,

Its free for the 1st month then around £8 per month after,

Its extremely easy to build with their wizard.

I presume you have submitted your website to the Google search engine?

As already pointed out links are not much use to you if they are not linking to your site, all you are doing is advertising them.

Also I notice that when clicking on a link it takes the browser away from your site, not a good move you need for the links to open in a new browser window.

£8 a month !! you paying to much guys

cheap websites - go to www.supanames.co.uk

for £30 ish you can get webspace and your www. name for two years !! - or you can move your www name over to them. you only need the basic server lynix .

building a site - i use serif page plus 10 ( google it ) cheap desktop program easy to use to do web stuff and leaflets letters etc etc etc

I have done many sites over the years and found them good .

with serif 10 you can add code,  video's all sorts if you need.
I have tryed them all and found this to be the most simple program to use .

www.jsmcleaning.co.uk

just had a look - now they have pageplus 11 - so that will be even better .

Hi JSM,

Where do you clean in North Wales mate,

We do all of the lidl stores from stoke through shropshire and up along the north wales coast.

Is their much work going around there domestic and commercial?  We are looking to expand in that area.

Thanks

Dean

8 quid a month is a little too much, you can find hosts for 10 - 20 a year

though i guess its all tax deductable anyway

[Dean Taberner]

Im happy with £2 a week.

Im sure that my budget can stretch to that.
