Good reaction - Now to get some sales.
Well having had a low key launch of http://www.berkswelldirect.com , we have been making sure that everything on the site is working and unlikely to cause any problems for people using it. So far so good, all the stats we have available to us so far seem to indicate that the site is coping with the traffic being thrown at it so far.
So now to get some more traffic to berkswelldirect.com with a combination of google adwords, a bit of old fashioned magazine advertising, public relations and of course a good high listing on google.
The site has been submitted to http://www.dmoz.org as a starter, I suppose if an editor has seen fit to categorise it, it is unlikely to be spam or a copy of another site with just a few word changes. Apparently a dmoz listing almost guarantees a google listing, but they tend to take ages in actually spidering the dmoz site.
I've also started to look at some business forums like http://www.shell-livewire.com/forums/ and http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/ for possible ideas on getting the site noticed, but to be honest there look to be too many scam artists rather than trully genuine businesses. I've tried to give advice where I feel I'm qualified to do so.
