Hi all,
thanks for all the help etc for setting up a website and at last in between jam making and doing our first farmers market! anyway please have a look and send some comments, it will be updated soon with some photos from our farmers market today!
www.jessicasjams.co.uk (http://www.jessicasjams.co.uk)
quick question to all you IT gods, how do you add 'google addwords' if that is the right description??? ??? easy answers please ;D i have built the website through Weebly and must say it was very very easy! even for me ;), just not sure how you can get the most out of a website for google searchers??
thanks again and have a look
WP

So cute and stylish, just lovely start. well done!!
-
Told you weebly was good.... nice little site there.
-
Apparently somewhere within the weebly 'how to set up a website' bit, it tells you how to do the google search words so just look a bit deeper

Nice site

Nice job looks clean and fresh site runs very smooth also. Does Webly have a facility for e-commerce i.e. ability to take payments on line?
-
Well done WP, it looks great :) :)
Good luck with everything.
-
Very jolly website...well done.
One small suggestion. one your product page you have written 'Whilst we are trying to always concerntrate on hedgerow and traditional ....'
Could you correct your spelling of concentrate??? LOL ...... its hard to spell check ones own writing because you know what you want to say....
sorry to be picky!!! but when you are selling on the web it's important for your image to get the details correct!!

Well done

I think the biggest hits your going to get are off your own promotion and you own brand awareness. I'll put a few links up to your website from a few of my websites using the term 'jessicas jams' - you'll soon be number one (not cos of my efforts obviously but I would like to help).
I think that its such a niche market you wont need google adwords to promote yourself - although the competition is really low in the adwords market - or at least in the areas that I can see your website is selling.
What you need to do is expand the page numbers on your site. Now you have the template - replicate your pages and make many pages - each page about your individual products, work on getting backlinks from other sites (ie write to them and ask them to link to you, use an article writer to publish articles on google news aggregated sites, get websites to link to you because of unique products or services) - this will help you climb the serps (search engine results pages). Free traffic is better than paid traffic - cos it dont cost anything.
Use this tool (https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal) to decipher exactly what are the most searched for products and services that you produce - target those phrases or keyword combinations in your page -1.) Headings 2.) Page titles 3.) onPage content (but dont over spam - prob 3-4 times with the phrase in any one page is not overdoing it).
Your going to need at least 300 words of unique text on every page you create to stop it being binned (google is petty) - it has to be unique (google can tell if you copy) and it has to be well written (google knows spelling)
If you do want to go for adwords still - gis us a shout and I am pretty sure I can get you a free £free voucher to try it out.
If what you are talking about is adsense - ie the ability to put ads on your site and earn money then thats a different branch of google and is just as easy to install on your website - gis a shout and I'll guide you through.

Thanks everyone, i am really chuffed with it and have had to publish a little early as we did our first farmers market yesterday.
Changed the spelling mistake thanks for pointing it out, was getting a little googly eyed last night! not sure on the e-commerce but i think they do as i have seen it somewhere.
Bazzais, once i have got it finalised i will definately be picking your brains on what to do next. where are you based? would love to meet up and discuss, i am in buckinghamshire but travel around the north a fair bit.
This is all so exciting, we are like children!! :wave:
-
glad you took the constructive crit as just that constructive ;D ;D
LOL Good Luck :hshoe:

Good luck

Looks great!
As per pikililly, foraging only has one r and Jessica's, Nanny's and Grampy's should all have apostrophes. Sorry to be anal ;D
-
Thanks Rosemary, you know i looked at the apostrophe's and couldnt make my mind up, i guess i will have to start putting words down in MS Word and spellchecking first ;D
We are doing Jess's playgroup Christmas Fayre on Saturday, so wait and see what that may bring...
-
I am in Cardigan so its a bit of a distance. Feel free to email or message me anytime. Good luck with it.

Good luck for Saturday!
I had a boss who used to throw work back at you if spelling, grammar or punctuation were wrong, so it's become a bit of a habit. He bought me "Eats, shoots and leaves" by Lynne Truss for my Christmas one year - by that time I was an apostrophe zealot, so loved it.

i loved that book..... we were made to read it at school. Then, when we went to sri lanka, they had a copy - it's surprising how much you forget!!!!! :D
