Despite truly heroic efforts, madaboutjewellery.com remains stubbornly on Page 2 for that most important of key words “jewellery”.

How To Stay Afloat In Shark Infested Waters!

Had a lengthy discussion with my business partner today about the state of play with our business and how exactly to proceed. This conversation was sparked by a call from a media company who specialise in writing and distributing professional articles for the purposes of increasing website exposure and popularity. They were extremely professional in their approach, calm, confident and knowledgeable. For the princely sum of £1,000 per month they would write 20 articles on our subject, peppered with our keywords. This was to be a one year contract, with 6 months notice of quiting but as a favour to us would drop the notice period to 3 months provided we make up our minds by the end of the month. It sounded good. In a struggling economy and us fighting for every order, a tsunami of exposure across the social network focussing on fashion and celebrity sounded like just the help we needed to attract the well-heeled hoards to our door! They almost had us on board!
