Alexa?

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds 209k UK Free Ads 12k

Still no change from Alexa which makes me consider that there is a change in the algorithym.  Perhaps this will  take Google caffeine into account.  I am preying that this will leapfrog our Free Classifieds up the ranks but am equally concerned about negative effects

I am surmising without any authority on the subject, but its very odd that we have had no change for several days.

I had a very unproductive day yesterday.  I spent it looking at images and design.  I wanted to try my hand at icon design with  a free software trial.  I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve but was unable to get anything even remarkably similar to my idea.

The YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds continues to have many new Free Ads every day.  The last few days have seen several new shops including a specialist seller of Lalique, an upmarket jewellers, a gift shop and a selection of gay porn books.

I am off to develop and discuss how we wish to progress the YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds this morning.  I am hoping for some inspiring thoughts from our developer, my mind is a little blank.

A New Look?

YapYapOK Alexa Free UK Classifieds 209k UK Free Ads rank 12k

I have read the blog but their is nothing to suggest why Alexa is not changing as frequently as it did.   The YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds has lingered at 209k for several days.  Other sites whose rank I know also remain the same.  Perhaps they are on skeleton staff due to holidays.   Consequently I am unsure what our UK Free Ads jump will be.  I am stilll hopeful of getting below the 200k mark this week.

The rate at which ads are being placed continues to grow and we are please to see so many categories being populated.  We are getting towards the end of the list of improvements for the site.  We will soon be implementing a Facebook login and the Facebook like with comments enabled.  This is far superior to the vote system which is open to manipulation.  However a new list with a new look has emerged.

The YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds site has a retro image which does not fit with all businesses that are looking for hosting.  We have decided to research some new looks. 

I would love some feedback on site design, what appeals etc.  If you have any ideas or input into what a Free Classifieds with shop hosting would look like, then please comment!

The're Coming Home!

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds  Alexa 209k UK Free Ads 12k

I need to explore more web tools to push us further up the ranks, we are getting found on search results for UK Free Classified as well as Free Ads and also just from the content.  Many of the Free ads placed are actually being found from organic Google searches rather than internal searches.  This is excellent news for all our advertisers.  Clearly we are not relying on browsers to find you because your Free Classified because you are aleady on the YapYapOK Free Ad site.

 Tomorrow I will start Squeeze pages and I will also explore Reddit at some point this week.

The football last night was a disaster.  The players themselves have been digruntled by the fans sentiment and should, under the circumstances have had the grace for empathy.  They have been shielded form the recession by inflated pay cheques and we expect better from them.  A better man would have stood up and acknowledged that.

The problem with the team is that they believe their own hype.  I don't quite understand why.  Lets face it, the proof has certainly been in the pudding.  They are simply not good enough, work on getting better or get out!

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds very disgruntled about the state of the England football team - but still so much better than a Free Ads site!

New Features

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds 209k Alexa Global, UK Free Ads 12k

Whew back in the game for Alexa.

Might be something to do with all the new functionality we have!

We are now a UK Free Classifieds with shops and games!    The problem now is that I can't get on with work for playing Jail Break.  I can get to level 5 and my son can get to level 6.  I am unsure if its possible to get to level 7 although I am assured all 11 levels are possible.

This week we will see a whole page dedicated to games.  We endeavour to find all the best games available so that you dont have to look for them.  It takes a huge amount of playing I mean working.  Well many are not so good so we want to ensure that the one on the YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds site are the best that they can be.

So now you can browse for music, furniture, books gifts and more and have fun at the same time!

We have seen a large number of adverts from around the UK and abroad.  Many are businesses and shops taking advantage of our free hosting and multiple shop facility.

What did we say?  Oh yes.  YapyapOK UK Free classifieds is so much more than just a UK Free Ad site!

On on!

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds 211k UK Free Ads 12k

We have had a drop of 1k in Alexa which is a little dissapointing.  The drop has come from the UK whilst we have stayed static elsewhere.

We knew that climbling the next 100k was going to be tough.  We have not sat back on our laurels and we are excited to be releasing more improvements to the Free Classifieds which will see encourage more visitors and have a positive effect on the Free Ads ranking.

By the end of the weekend we will have some exciting new developments which I will report when they are in place.

I am having my sons friends over today for a barbeque, so I have not prepared any video for you.  Who know maybe next week, I will catch up!

The Grand Slam

YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds Alexa rank  210k UK Free Ads 11k

Sports Day ...............Check (won all)
Assessments.............Check ( all 100%)
Swimming Gala .........The Grand Slam 2 x firsts, one breaststroke, one crawl and a second in backstroke.

What a Champion! 

I am blogging ahead of time as I am working on the back end of the Free Classifieds site with the site developer first thing.  I am having some of my sons friends over for a barbeque on saturday which is not great timing in view of how neglected some areas of the site have been whilst I battled with the affiliation and the free ad category attributes. 

Worse still these friends are Russian, if you have ever been invited to the Russians for food you will know just how generous and hospitable they are.  The spreads are huge and the menu very varied.  If I was having Brits over I would probably do one lot of marinated chicken with dips, breads, salads and perhaps some homemade burgers and a potato dish.  Frankly I think thats enough, its effectively 2 meals anyway.

Alas I have been embarrassed into producing pork kebabs, lamb & mint koftas, chilli pork burgers, 2 differnt lots of marinated chicken.  Breads, wedges, bean salad, green salad, salsa, Avocado dip, raita and an array of breads.  Followed by fresh fruit salad.... for 10.  The realisation that I have forgotton to buy the fruit just at this moment is a little hard hitting when time is so precious.

So once again I am compromised and pre-preparing.  Hopefully by the time I publish our Alexa will have been edited.  The YapYapOK UK Free Classified is currently at 210k.  ... I am just about to publish. 

I forgot the video yesterday so here is todays!  This is a little yin to go with my yan.....losers!

Off Topic - Swimming Gala

YapYapOK Free Classifieds Alexa 210k UK Free Ads 11k

I am writing my Free Classifieds blog bright and early having been unable to sleep for the past hour or so.  I hate to see waking hours not properly utilised and I have a short day as  today is my sons swimming gala.

He is incredibly sporty having inherited an expressive throwback gene since neither myself or his father show any athletic tendency what so ever.  Latterly we have taken up tennis with the sole intention being that if we didn't we would lose him to sport and never see him at all.  He is almost obsessive about tennis and has such an amazing coach who generally thinks that Henry is some kind of prodigy.  So much so in fact that he is now giving free coaching and has provided him with tennis trainers ( the recent ones we bought, despite being Nike and sold as such by the attendant are not right).  He has also given professional rackets since Henrys although  expensive and sold to us by an academy has too wide a handle which will induce RSI.

Henry is used to winning every sport event.  Sports day was a clean sweep and he champions at tennis in competition too.  Today he assures me that he wont win at backstroke as he cant get any kind of technique.  He will win breaststroke easily and crawl will be hard.  He is up against twins who have had pro training whilst he has not had any. 

It never occurred to me how much importance was placed on these events.  As a non competer myself, although I did always win the skipping race, I never actually cared.  Clearly his self motivation is admirable, but I do worry that he puts too much pressure on himself.  He has taken to doing 100 sit ups every day and he is only 9.

So today i will only acheive small amounts of SEO on the YapYapOK Free Classifieds site.  Hope fully it will be enough to push us a little further up the ranks, if not I will have to burn some of that midnight oil.  Hmmm might be a clue as to where Henry gets the his self motivation from after all!
