Hi Graeme

Thanks (sort of  ;))

It only took me about four hours in total (I know - it shows ;D), but I'm on a tight budget and it was the best solution for me.  Had one quote of £500 from the professionals! :o

It's cheap and cheerful but it'll hopefully do the job.  Still moving things around and adding and deleting bits so hopefully by July (when I hope to launch) I'll be happy with it.  When I start making some dough I'll probably get a better one.

By the way, do any carpet cleaners in Cheltenham and surrounding areas want a link to their website on mine (and mine on theirs in return)?  If so, let me know.

No, absolutely everything's included.  The only thing you're limited to with the £3.99 package is three pages on your website. 

If you go onto fasthosts and click on website design, they've got a demo on there.  When you've done your site, you just click on 'Publish Website' and its done.  Its really easy. It must be coz I did it  ;D

What about your alt tags, page title, contents description, robot files, links, HTML,
search engine submissions, CSS. I could go on.
If you don`t know what I`m on about. Your on the wrong track. Sorry  :-\

Yeah, at first its good fun, being creative. But when you get right down to it, theres a
lot to learn and it can be a real pain in the ass making it all work as it should.

Hope this helps. I just feel peoples time spent on marketing could be better spent, unless
you realy want to get in to it, if thats the case,
best of luck

Could you repeat that in English please  ;D

I don't know what half those things are, but I managed without knowing and my website's up and running (and I've got a link on it). I'm not really after someone trying to find my site by just typing in cleaner and the area.  I'll be advertising in yellow pages and on yell with a link to my site and it'll be on my flyers, etc - that's all I want.

Whenever I need a service I never use a google search, etc, to find them, I always use Yell.  Not everyone will come up when you do that type of search, but when your on Yell they're all there for you to chose from.

But each to their own  :)

It is rumored ;) that google will think a little less of your site if you submit it yourself. Too google if your site is really good and worth ranking highly then others will have linked to it and allowed it too find it that way.
I tried this on msn search and its same.

Hi Guys,

You need to get a mate who already has a searched site to add a link to your site.This way the when his site is searched yours will be picked up too.
