I see websites have been a hot topic of conversation last few posts.
I've had my site live for about 4 weeks and have not had many hits, if any. Not even google knows about my site.
Does anyone know how to get more hits.
I advertise on all the major free directories and a few smaller ones but the site is still not getting the coverage I thought it would. Any tips and slagging off would be most welcome

when i clicked on the picture...... i thought i was gona get a bigger image with out the pattern around the edge. but i got exactly the same photo.
 
Great looking site mate.
Reagrds the questions about google not finding it.
It can take 6 months or more untill google list your website fully,every 4-6 weeks googlebot crawls the web looking for new webpages to add to the directory(it finds these new pages by web links).
(not every site will be added) no matter how well its made or appears.
Once your site has been crawled google will index it (make note of it ) if you like and then during the next big update usually 6 months apart you will be page ranked and indexed in the google search engine.im in the same boat as you,just get busness cards and leaflets newspaper adds all with your site details on before you no it emails will be forthcoming.
There is a lot more to it then i have mentioned but kept it simple to understand,below is a weblink to get ur site listed direct to google.

https://www.google.co.uk/addurl/

you can do the same with msn and yahoo but it pointless becuse once google got ya they seem to follow.
Try to get in the Dmoz directory this is the most important directory on the internet
 
Register urself on googlemaps, then you put about 20 things to do with plastering in a box like plasterer, plastering,rendering,drylining,coving etc etc then when joe bloggs types in ''plasterer in rugby'' for instance, urself and all the other plasterers in the area pop up on a map with a link to ur website. Hope this helps abit, I had over 5500 hits in the first month of going live.
 
i spent £1000 on my'n i designed it and some one put it 2gether. robbed hey. and now I'm paying 2 get it rearranged!

ermmm that is not completly true.

I get my new sites indexed within a few days and page rank does not mean shite.

I spend my life building sites and getting them ranked in google I am seen as a bit of a guru (not my words)

Keep a site in the top of the search engines is hard but when you know what to do it is not rocket science.

I have sites in really competitive markets yet I aways manage to get them ranked in the search engines normally on the first page!

Thanks for that info heafy and danny, I've just listed on google maps. So danny what's your secret to getting on the first pages then??? Or is that pretty technical.
I got one of my mates in South Africa to build the site cost about 250, paid about 6 quid to buy the domain and free for 2 years. I don't have a clue on in and outs of web site management so he'll do all the work from S.A. like adding on new images and fine tunning.
 
Hello,

For anybody that wants a site I do them for £250 with a .co.uk domain name and 2 years hosting all included.

I just know what search engines are looking for and build a site around keywords and I have a lot of tools that ensure I get the best results.

I have spent the thickend of 10 years working online and so it pretty tough to sum up exactly what I do.

Well guys you have some really good looking websites and my son is going to get a kick up the arse to get mine sorted as it just doesn't even come close to most of yours :'( I particularly liked Warriors, had a real slick professional feel about it.

are you boys getting work from your sites? if you are , i'll have a word with danny, don't want to get left behind!
 
Pug I don't know of a single job I've won because of my website but neither do I know of a single job I've lost because of it (mind you that may be because of my site), but for how little it costs you don't have much to loose do you? I think I pay £76 a year.
