    Importance of a web site

    I have just recently invested In a website to try and inject some interest ito my services , I had a website before but it was not Search engine optimised and non existant on google.

    I'm currently working with a great web designer , I have not even finished the content and I've already had about 20 calls this past few weeks due to potential clients and agents finding my website through google , and thats without working much on the content which badly needs updating

    The developer has got me on page one on google for most of my key searches and it paying dividends already.

    I honestly think that companies are trying to cut out the agents to reduce costs.

    My recommendation is to pay for good SEO as without it your just not going to get any business from your site. I paid less than £700 for my site with all the SEO and logo desgin included .which isnt bad considering i was quoted upto and above £3000

    Anyone fancy a sandwich?

    Edit: I'm all remorseful now.

    Bad RC, bad! The poor chap was merely passing on good news.

    Edit: edit: Ladies and gentlemen.

    We here present a demonstration in what happens to people who post a link to a web site on Contractor UK: a post mortem. It is bloody process, it is without mercy but - and this is most important - it provides a valuable lesson in modesty and the eating of humble pie.

    Sit back and enjoy.

      I would like to promote my website too.

      I have achieved No.1 ranking on Google for 'Hairy Arsed Bloke'

      It was the best nothing I've ever paid.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Glad it's paying dividends. But for a website to be truly effective, it needs to be 100% professional and I noticed 3 grammatical/spelling mistakes on your front page alone - not a great way to market Pin Media then. Get someone else to check your website for you as they'll notice things you don't.

                P.S. Obviously I'm bored as and in desperate need of a job!

                  I did say we have not even concentrated on the content , the content was cobbled together in an afternoon , we decided to put the website up live because SEO takes a few weeks to kick in properly , did not think it would start to get hits straight away , thats why originally i did not put the address up as it is not finished and i knew , people with too much time on their hands would pick fault even though i STRESSED it was not finished
