Definately Doug's!

I think he essentially buys domain names to do with carpet cleaning i.e. carpetcleaningluton.co.uk etc etc etc. I think the intention then is to sell the site to who ever is interested as a package, and offer hosting for it for a monthly fee ;)

Yes I have one but I pay % on each job that comes from it and have had about £750 from it so far inc a £300 pund job booked for the day after I get back from CCDO. Works really well actually.

Hi Guys

Yes it is me and as you guys have cleverly deduced I have several covering lots of areas.

I am currently offering on a percentage basis so there is absolutely no financial risk, if you don't get anything you don't pay anything !

when a CC adopts a site then it is personalised and promoted, the idea being that not everyone wants to mess around doing websites, some actually like cleaning, so this leaves them free to do so.

Several areas are available , email for furher details.

While on the subject of websites I also have several generic ones, most ranking highly such as dry carpet cleaning, green carpet cleaning, sofa cleaning, suite cleaning , leather clean etc.

Cheers

Doug

I can vouch for this. Had some nice work out of it inc a 2 seater sofa leather clean that Doug quoted for £120. Took me less than 90 mins.

Doug can I settle up with you on the 6th? Had a few bills.

Cheers for that

Felt I had to make it last at least that long

re network

Follows similar scheme to your but on a far greater level and to commercial only.

Will talk about it on the Sunday. Would like to see that site though. Can you email me link?

My curiousity is running wild here. Obviously, I am very new to this forum (a great resourse BTW), but I notice that some members have a huge number of web addressess, one I notice in particular, Doug Holloway, who has about 9   ???  ???  ???

I cannot believe that having this amount of websites serves any benefit, or do these people have too much time on their hands on the net servicing them??? Please enlighten me someone?  :)

Doug is simply using his loaf and targeting certain areas with basic sites to generate work, carpet cleaners in that area can then strike a deal to do the work rewarding Doug with a % of the income from the job.....its not rocket science.

Then if that's the case, Doug should start up his own network franchise company, because if I'm reading it right, that is basically what he is doing albeit with websites  ;)    Maybe we all should get into doing this and nobody need work   ;D It's like pyramid selling or in this case pyramid cleaning!!

Geoff, to be truthful I think you should be getting in touch with Doug, this would be ideal for you and what have you got to lose? he takes a % so if it doesn't work it cost nothing.

if it was carpetcleaningbeverley I'd be calling him in a shot!
