What's all this about then, and don't be fobbing me off with google spiders. char062
Are we supposed to be having a 'last day of smoking party' in this dump, but someone forgot to invite the regulars? ::)

We are being watched obviously. scared2:
Did anybody post something about their old Mercedes being a bag of nails? rubschin:

I am smoking in my local. I intend to finish the entire pouch of tobacco before I leave.
-
My local smells decidedly odd today. It is obviously true that the ciggie smoke masks the smell of the stale beer ingrained in the carpet.

A peek behind the curtain marked "Management" revealed to me that most of these were browsers from other places. No ~ Not "the other place" but a variety of locations as diverse as Africa, The USA and Europe based ISPs.
This happens from time to time as some systems automatically trawl sites like this looking for advertising opportunities (none here) and some are assessing our throughput to decide where to place us on search engines. Others are, of course, nosy b@st@rds who look but never join.
We did not have 36 members on line.
At the moment we are showing two guests and six members. One of those guests is a member ~ having a quick browse no doubt but he has now signed in. The system shows activity over the past 15 minutes so this particular person appears in the stats twice. See how easy it is to get the wrong impression.

Seems like a question for the other thread really, but how do I attract these spider: to mine then?

They find you but you help matters along by placing "Key Words" with the search engines so that if someone is looking for what you have to offer your site gets flagged up.
For instance. Try Googling "Mincing" You'll get 848000 choices then try Googling "Mincing Queen" You'll get 136000 choices. You'll see from these two different sets of results that being too specific can reduce considerably the number of choices offered but if you really are looking for Mincing Queens being specific is better. For your site you need to identify the key words that people might use to look for such entertainment as you offer and those are the words you place with the search engines...... choosing the right key words is easy enough ~ just think of everything anybody would call your venture. Getting the words to the search engines is done as part of the hosting package or you can employ a specialist company to "place" your site (they use the method I have described and can cost money!!!)
Get as many people as you can to "search for your site". The more searches it gets the higher up their lists the search engines will place you. That's why they trawl us ~ to see how many hits we get.
Google Virtual Pub and you'll see what I mean ~ over 5 million choices listed and we are not on the first page

Bit of a waste of time googling for here or me for instance then really, cus statistics prove that the vast majority of googlers only read the first page of results...apparently.
I've found a thing in my web management contents list for doing this, so I'll give it a try.
2,190,000 listed when i typed in the words I would use if looking for what I'm offering. shocked003

Which is why I suggested, in another post, that you contact the tourist boards and all councils in your area ..... Their sites get millions of hits and you can piggy back on these with a link to your site under "Local Entertainment" "Things to do" "Adventure" etc. Don't be shy in asking and get those bloody paper leaflets out to all hotels, pubs, B&Bs etc like I said ~ don't forget the other "attractions in your area ..... last time I was in Brimstage Hall you couldn't move for other peoples leaflets. Cheapest advertising is word of mouth, second cheapest is leaflets in all the right places. AND remember to go round each place you put leaflets at least once a fortnight and make sure they still have some (Make a list in a notebook, Name, address and dates you called) The more they see of your ugly mug the more likely they are to push your leaflet to the front.
Write a short article about your business venture (better yet get Nick to write it ~ he is a professional and I am not being rude about your abilities when I say that) Make it one page of A4, double spaced, in Ariel 14. Head it PRESS RELEASE in BIG BOLD LETTERS and fax it to all the local papers. Free sheets and those that people pay for. All editors are desperate for stuff to fill their pages week after week (I know ~ that's what else I do). A ready made story (with one action picture, not prices and most importantly good details of what they can expect. Don't bother with other crap. Action, Telephone number/contact details/ web address) in the form of a press release and I'll guarantee you will get a free article in every local rag you send it to.
Come on ~ this is what I do. I sell! Been doing it most of my life, trust me.
In four weeks time some three to four million kids are going to start their six weeks summer holidays and by day two most will be saying "I'm bored ~ what can I do today?"

Bloody hell Snoops. It's like having my own personal business adviser this.
When's the bill arriving? ;)

It's my pleasure ~ with this f*cking diabetes and the heart pills I can't even sting you for a pint but you can buy me a low cal tonic water next time I'm round your way. ;)
Onward and Upward Mate.
You have got to push like f*ck now but I'm sure you'll make it.
Now I'm signing off and going to bed .... No ~ not a promise but I'm knackered!
Edit to PS: Something else I do is I am Secretary of the local Business Association.
