Search Engine Optimization

News in from Jetline Cruises is that Traveltek have completed the site for Cruise Holidays specialists Cruise VIP, it now a case of getting it up there and then I can carry on with it’s Search Engine Optimization.

Met a potential new client who is in the niche of Professional Translation Services. My pitch took about an hour and low and behold when he searched for Search Engine Optimization I had dropped from second to eleventh!

I explained there has been some issues within Google data centres, well in my opinion there has been. When I got back to the office I did a little checking to find:

Well a years hard work wasted? Nope just another miss cache and later in the day an earlier cache showed up and is now being used by Google.

Also would like to say congratulations to Aldershot Town who drew tonight and are back in the Football League after 16 years in the wilderness.

So now wanting two things, my site to go back where it belongs and to get this Professional Translation Service contract.

Welcome to the Drabdesign Blog!

It took me a while to get the blog up and running, that is a nice problem to have and the reason is that I have been so busy working for other people.

So what is this blog about? Well it will be a mixture of interesting things I find about Search Engine Optimization as well as personal thoughts and maybe the odd one or two about my feelings.

So where do I start?

Well firstly I would just like to put somewhere on the net my feelings about my father. Frank Stainer died in September 2007 and his loss has hit me a lot harder than I would have imagined. It is not until you loose a parent that you realise how much they mean to you and although I wanted to tell him I loved him, I only ever did when he was ill in hospital and I am not sure if he ever heard or really knew.

My father loved Football and was a referee for a number of years. He was born in Aldershot and spent his early years living in Farnborough, watching Aldershot play Football and dreaming of watching either Portsmouth or Southampton. In later life he lived half way between the two, but travelled to watch Aldershot instead. His love of Aldershot passed on to me when he took me to my first game when I was 5 years old. This season would have made him so proud, Aldershot getting to the FA Trophy semi final and after today’s win (I was there) they need just one point for promotion back into the Football League.

Why Drabdesign?

Well Drabdesign is taken from David, Ruth, Adam and Bethany and has nothing to do with being drab! It is amazing what a name does and I think a few people are put off by it after all it does not sound inviting. However look around the shops next time you are out. Why does O2 call itself O2? Next, what has that got to do with clothes? Back to phones, ORANGE? So Drabdesign, like the three I have quoted is just a name, live with it!
