London site rebuild // Browsing posts in London site rebuild
A week in my web world
means dongles, London for Free, twitter, xobni and two new web books. Its been a busy web week. I’ve been thinking for a while about getting a new phone so I can check out all the mobile apps available. But after posting about it on Facebook, I realise the choice is staggering. Now I really...
Worth the effort
Well, the redesigned site has been live for 4 months now and it seems to have been worth all the pain. In those four months its had over 70,000 visits and over 335,000 page views: comparable figures for the same period last year were 41,000 visits and 156,000 page views. (Thanks to Google Analytics for...
Ticking along but could do better
The site’s been live now for 11 weeks, and yesterday’s visitors helped take the Google AdSense earnings for July alone to over $100 – in only 9 days. Amazing! So I thought I’d have a look at the visitor stats so far. Since 24th April when the site was relaunched, it has had over 43,000...
London for free goes mobile

Captcha the spammers
It was only a matter of time, I guess. Recently I had started to receive spam emails through the web forms dotted around the new site. Thinking back with horror to the time a few years ago when I was receiving thousands of spam messages a day, I knew I had to do something to...
Keywords are the key
The site’s been live for four weeks now and trends are becoming clearer. Though site traffic is slightly down from the old version of the site (when comparing April to May) the number of pages visited per user is far higher. Less visitors but deeper visits – I’m happy with that. The lower number of...
Serving its purpose
The site has now been live for just ten days and I’m already seeing a significant increase in affiliate earnings. Some broad facts and figures: - on my old site, google adsense adverts were generating earnings of around $5 a month simply based on the single link sitting neglected on my old home page -...
Up and running
The re-designed London for Free site is now live. After spending every weekend this year – and many evenings – working away at it, it feels strange to suddenly not have to write content, design pages and fix bugs. The good news is that after only 2 days since it was launched, I am already...
