Firstly, I just want to say hello to all of our new users who’ve joined us over the last week or so, it’s great to see so many people joining the site as I’m guessing you’re joining because you like the idea of the site and that makes us feel warm inside.
We are still having a bit of difficulty getting people to list things on the site. But that’s to be expected, I mean this is a fairly alien concept to people. But hopefully, we’ll see this pick up over the next few weeks.
With some local papers here in Hampshire running stories on Freezy this week, I’ve kicked off the GoogleAds again and that has seen quite a steady flow of traffic coming onto the site, which means I can play my addictive game of ‘What search terms bring people to Freezy”. I’ve figured out how to disable the word ‘porn’ form the search terms now, but it still throws up some gooduns (‘Crazy dumper’ anyone?).
What is pleasing is a lot of people are now entering the site after searching for ‘Freezy’. That’s cool, as it means the name must be spreading.
The other thing that I really really really have to encourage you to do is to set up ‘watches’ for your area. These are really cool.
It basically means you don’t have to come back and check the site to see if there’s been anything added in your area – you automatically get an E mail message whenever anything is added within whatever distance you specify. Check out Kez’s post below called “New feature: Listing watches” which tells you how to do it. It’s bloomin’ simple.
That’s it for now. Don’t feel like I’ve said a whole lot, just thought I should write something as the blog is still the 3rd most popular referral site to Freezy, and I don’t want you to think I’ve forgotten about you.
See you all soon!
Dave
