Things afoot at henfleet.co.uk
You are reading terry.henfleet.co.uk, that is, my blog. My main site is plain old www.henfleet.co.uk and I'm making a few changes.
Go have a look.
Essentially, I am reselling thousands of products. 70,304 so far to be precise.
This has had a massive knock on to my hosting as I had a website barely looked on by Googlebot and co, now they are crawling thousands of pages per day. I decided to check out the stats, and here they are:

What i'm looking for is the visits and unique IPs to be far higher, at the moment the majority of the trafic is coming from search engine spiders. I'll keep a check every week, hopefully the last column wich deals with the search terms people find www.henfleet.co.uk by will be far too big to include in the not too distant future as my pages get indexed and found by people in the search engines.
Peace in our time
The three ambasadors made their plans in the great hall. Against the backdrop of galactic war, a lasting peace was being brokered. One that would last a millenia.
The Crataan ambasador finished his speech, to a subdued but thankful assembly. He finished asking who would second his motion.
His motion was simple. Trade routes would be created across the hundred strong Crataan ruled planets for the Muran and Dratean civilisations. Both warrior races, but both realising the benefits of being allowed trade with the more scientifically advanced Crataan people.
Vostock of the Dratean's obliged, and seconded the motion. In the first meating of the three races in over two hundred years, peace had been negotiated in under ten minutes.
The hard part remained though. How to deal with the Human race? That alas, would make for a much harder debate.
The Terry Henfleet contest
It has long since been thought that the journalists of Sheffield are a lazy bunch, which is why my namesake was created. Annoyingly for me Terry Henfleet first came to the attention of The Sheffield Star’s football pages when a spoof piece posted at the owlstalk forum concerning his ‘signing’ from Stoke was picked up and published as fact.
Sometime afterwards, someone got my name into the Star again, this time talking about purchasing his new Apple IPad
First in the Sheffield queue was 33-year-old Terry Henfleet, from Dinnington, who had been at the Apple store since 5am. He said: “I actually had an iPad pre-ordered, but I decided to get up at 4.30am and come down to buy one for research – at least, that’s what I’m telling myself
So I put forth this contest. Get the name "Terry Henfleet" into any publication, either online or offline, with the most outrageous or mundane story you can think of. You don't win anything other then Kudos.
Go forth and spread my name, then post details here.
318 NDA’s accepted – time to pay to receive the info! (1 Pound though, not a lot!)
Everyone who emailed me and satisfied my curiosity that they could accept an NDA has been sent information on how to beat Google's algorithm and get to Number 1 spot in Google for any given search term.
Indeed, I note some very interesting changes in their websites already, good work people.
From now on, I will only give out information to anyone who purchases a pixel (or more) on www.henfleet.co,uk - why? Well, because I want to link to the sites that are about to make history. Link your site via my million pixel homepage, and you will receive riches beyond belief, knowledge.
Avon Sheffield
Today a new website is launched.
Not a great deal exists there yet, but feel free to take a look at Avon Sheffield at some point in the future when content is uploaded....
Have a beer on me, if you are an online loser!
So you check your website stats, and notice that you have been found by your favourite search term a mere 98 times last month. You expected more.
Fear not as you then notice upon looking at your affiliate portal of choice that you converted 4 of those into sales. Bingo, have a Beer, kick back and relax, you can feed your kids again next month!
The thing is, it's not that simple. If you were to then log into Google's webmaster tools you'd see the depth of your problem. Yes you got found 98 times for, I don't know let's say "Forex currency trading" - But when you log into Wembaster tools and take a look at the data, you see that your average rank was 7 and you actually had 17,900 impressions.
Yes, enjoy your beer by all means, but to me that means you still have work to do. If roughly 100 visits a month for this term gives you 3 sales which makes you happy, then exactly how happy would achieving No1 spot and having the bulk of 17,900 visit's make you?
I'll tell you. Imagine those conversions are worth around 300 pounds. Achieving No1 spot will get you roughly 90% of the traffic, so that's 16,110 actual visits. At the same ratio that achieved you 3 sales out of 98 visits, that equates to roughly 483 sales. At 300 Pound per sale, your monthly earnings have just gone up from 900 pounds to 144,900 pounds.
Is your beer tasting quite as good as you expected it to when you patted yourself on the back for your three sales this month? No, it wouldn't to me either. Of course, what Google Webmaster tools cannot do is rank you any higher.
For that you need my help. What would you value my time at if I got you to Number 1 spot for that search term? Well, don't tell me now - let me achieve this feat for you and then tell me. I'll invoice you for every month your term stays at number 1 position, it shall be a happy and fruitful relationship for both of us.

Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You’ve got a week… otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!
I once ill advisedly wrote on one social site "xxxxx xxxxxx must die" (name removed to stop further action against me!) and went on to talk about my reference to an old computer game I played called "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego" a 1985 computer came, which had a review which started "Carmen Sandiego must die" - it always stuck in my head, and I did not mean that this person should die, merely that she upset me on an almost daily basis and I wished her to know this fact. However I was arrested, questioned and then released without charge after the police officer laughed his way through what I had written. We will see far more of that kind of thing on a daily basis if we are not careful, read on......
Heard the one about a man convicted of tweeting "Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You've got a week... otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!"
Oh, that's right, it's not a joke, it's for real! That's exactly what happend to Paul Chambers.
This week Stephen Fry has said he is "prepared to go to prison" over the "Twitter joke" trial and he has retweeted the update since, as has Al Murray, Rufus Hound, Katy Brand and Father Ted writer Graham Linehan.
Chambers' case has become a cause celebre on Twitter, with hundreds of people reposting his original comments in protest at the conviction.
"This must not be allowed to stand in law," says Stephen Fry, who also states he will continue to repeat Chambers' message and face prison "if that's what it takes".
Paul Chambers - who now lives in Northern Ireland but lived in Balby, Doncaster, at the time - sent the message to his 600 followers in the early hours of 6 January 2010. He claimed it was in a moment of frustration after Robin Hood was closed by snow.
He was found guilty in May 2010 and fined £385 and told to pay £600 costs.
If you find this absurd, then retweet the original tweet, link to this blog post from your own, or just write about it - bring it to people's attention.....I don't know Paul Chambers from Adam, and I don't really post this to help his personal cause, I post this because if we are not careful, everything we write about on social sites where we are angry or upset, and include a certain amount of humour or irony in may see us hauled up before a judge and made to pay recompense. We cannot let that culture grow, so let's stop it now while we can.
Today is 31 days from the original post, isn’t it? So what happened?
I received this comment on my "Beating the algorithm" post.
Indeed, Mr Fuller, you are correct.
So, what happened? Well, I received some gratis legal advice from someone who I respect a great deal. To ensure I "cover my arse" as we say here in England, I offer the following solution.
Anyone who emails me in the next 1 month period asking for the information, shall receive it. That is, if you fill in a little non online form which will act as a non disclosure agreement.
Let's be honest, this information is best if undiluted to the general population, so is going to be like gold dust in the right hands.
Do you have the right hands? Email terry@henfleet.co.uk and we will decide. Form will start being emailed out after 18th April.
