Cor Blimey! What a fast year it has been! And how fantastic still to be in business!
I have been sorry to see some people going out of business in these trying times but heartened to see so many new businesses and indeed heartened that I am still here! I must be doing something right!
I have never known a year to go by so quickly and never have I learned so much in a year either! I seem to have been working on my own sites all year and am still working on them..
I am delighted to thank my expanding customer base and in particular the people who have shown me support and faith. Beginning in small business is a difficult task, who do you ask those questions to? Are there people to help? How do I keep the faith? How do I get work? Who will recommend me?
To make this process a bit easier I have begun smallorg.org and I hope that people will see a use for this free network. Please use it and plague me with questions...
Coming soon in the New Year will be a new Pumpherston Web Website ( with an SEO Showcase Study zero to page one on Google) with the new Print website just recently launched.
I wish all of you and your families a very busy, prosperous and safe Christmas and New Year. I hope to do business with you soon.
SEO proof of the pudding!
What a busy week it's been, still working on my own sites ( I expect to use the quiet time at Christmas to complete these) and of course juggling a couple of web projects that I can't wait to share...
I also intend to spend sometime at www.smallorg.org in the new year. This site has a great potential for networking for my associates and clients alike, more to come....
SEO
After a while using Strawberry Property Solutions as a case study for my SEO we have at last achieved no 3 on Google ! This of course shows that all is possible for not a huge expense.. Just some fine tuning required now....
HAPPY SATURDAY.
