Ive just read that article, I might set up a standing order in my customers name who just bad mouthed me down the phone, to the Tourettes Charity, the way they were talking Id say they suffer from it

I got 113960 hits on www.avondhucleaning.com last month,.. just that one domain, not including the forum or any other sites.

Hits don't mean much though,.. unique visitors is what you need,.. I only got about 350 unique visitors.

Ok Thanks, I'll look into what your saying, don't think anyone would be able to get much out of there though I never can

What brings them to your site then Nat?

That HAS to be something other than cleaning. Has to be.

Your Google PageRank is still 0 


I didnt think there were that many people in Ireland

Good god I'd need a secretary if I had that many visitors, when I do get a unique visitor they usually end up calling me.   

[Nathanael Jones]

Thats just "hits",.. pretty meaningless in the real world unfortunately,.. it translates to an average of about 400 -500 unique visitors per month for me.

[chris@c.m.s]

I'd be quite happy with that

Thats good Nat - what persentage of unique visitors are converted into customers?

In reality, very few.
You get price shoppers, ppl outside your area,.. telesales ppl googleing for numbers to call,. endless link exchange requests,..
I maybe get 1 or 2 jobs a week out of it, and many of those are one-off's like gutter cleaning or pressure washing.
Still the few real & regular jobs I do get add up quickly and the site pays for itself 20X over during the year.

Although I get less unique visitors than you - I find the same as you - and your right the sites pay for themselves.  better to have a site than not eh!
