Searching for the meaning of the Web

Over the past few months I have been having a bloody good go at electronic socialising, search engine optimization and generally trying to get connected. As you know my original site is www.norfolkboutiquehotels.co.uk and www.norfolkboutiques.co.uk , which has taken the majority of my focus. This site was developed with the knowledge gained from a business link internet optimization course and picking the brains of any techie I come across. Since then it’s been about getting links back to my island (the internet site) so that lots of people know about it and can get there as well as Mr Google taking note that it exists. This began with http://www.uklinkexchange.co.uk/display_search.asp?search=norfolk+boutiques&GO=Search uk Link exchange, putting sites in contact with each other to trade links. I have also emails a good list of local businesses to trade links.
And then comes the social networking sites of which I have twitter, so please follow me and keep me up to date with what you have been up to http://twitter.com/djsh . Join my facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=84540988964 . I even have a linked in account, although I only have one friend http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dom-hughes/12/760/74 so I’m open for offers.

Million dollar homepage




I have just remembered the origins of my love for the internet, http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ . And whats great is that the site still exists even though by the owners own omissions, it has not been updated since 2006 if not long before. This was an inivative basic idea that worked. While others where busy building sites to power the work this guy just set up a page of pictures with hyperlinks and sold them at 1$ a pixel. Mind you, those who brought into it I image got their money worth from a one off fee. Look Ebay is on there bottom left, But it doesny work like many of the adds the companies have stopped operating. Oh well maybe the net isnt forever for everyone
