New Projects

I have a couple of new projects in the fire at the moment. The website has been created, despite not yet finished and looking rather amateur, its out there! Just got to maintain and optimise it, along with finding a web designer to help me with it, I'm not paying!

Rock Revelations are the next company I am optimising. Website needs work atm, but they have plans already to make a new site, which is desperately needed! The optimising seems straight forward, they have 2 domains which could be an issue.

Shell Step Programme

4 weeks into the Shell Step programme, with 4 to go. Education Group Ltd have given me the task to SEO (search engine optimize) their website. They supply primary schools with african drumming and indian dance along with a whole host of other music and dance workshops.

So far so good. I have altered metatags, joined forums, started blogs (!), formed links, inbound and reciprocal, launched new websites, wrote articles and press releases and published them within press release directories. I have submitted the site into large directories. I have also tweaked current features on the site; uploading a sitemap for userability but also for the infamous 'googlebot' to crawl the site effectively.

Logging stories/artcicles on SWIK/WIKI/Aboutus.org have proven effective as immediately it affects the google listings.

Since my initial research, where the listings were rather low down in the google pages for particular keywords, I have since checked the rankings, and it bodes well for the next 4 weeks, as most have moved dramatically up the rankings, whether it be in the top 10 or top 20.

The next 4 weeks: video production, maintain more reciprocal links, Create a link database.
