120 hits in the first week! What next?

As you may have noticed from the hit counter, we had about 60 hits on the first day and since then, about 10 hits a day, but that is from a bit of word of mouth and a poster at the club, I am obviously very pleased with this, but what next?

The next step I have taken to increase our audience  has been to subscribe to web search engines and the Saracens Hertfordshire League website.

I have submitted our Website URL to about 40 web search engines. It takes up to 4 weeks for these search engines to add new sites to their searches.

I have tried to search for our club website a few times since, to see if they have added us yet, but nothing has turned up so far, apart from other teams news article such as the debacle against Clarendon last year and another opposition skipper saying that Des needed glasses! I wouldn't know what he meant.

As a word of warning however, please don't be tempted to try submitting our site to a search engine yourself, as more than one submission to a search engine is considered 'spamming', which means our URL would be rejected. 

Good news though, I have passed our URL to the Saracens Hertfordshire League Web Administrator, who has already added it to his site, so we might get a few hits from other teams as well now. I'll have to be careful about what I say about our team now, it might give the game plan away for next year, especially if we go ahead with a player profiles page!

After these two easy steps comes the sponsorship poster, which will have our URL and appears in local shops and business's in the Enfield area, then hopefully, as mentioned at the AGM, 'Player's Wanted' adverts in the local newspapers, containing the URL.

What then, who knows, but any suggestions would be greatly received, please email me (Paul Hewitt) at club@holtwhites-trinibis.co.uk
