Site in progress.. to make it more search-engine friendly!
So sorry that all posts have been made draft, and now are being edited/corrected to publish as seo-friendly posts that will also contain internal links (so sorry if some posts presently go to not-live posts). But publishing all of them at once when finished, also is not good as this will flood the search engines with hundreds of posts in one day. So the posts are being edited and drip-published, so hopefully all the site backlog should be finished in a few weeks, and then just updated with the odd new post published.
After a wonderful SEO expert finally had a good look at the site, he has figured out why there is little traffic. In a nutshell, there is good content on the site, but it must be niched down, and the posts need to be merged to avoid duplicate content, and create long-form content with H2 long-tail keywords (mending broken links) and basically giving it a good spring-clean, after years of writing content.
This will take a few weeks, but the site will then read better and be more helpful, and can finally stop tinkering with it, and just keep it updated. To leave a nice legacy to help, from what began as a hobby and now is overwhelming.
So this is a positive thing, as the end result should be good!
But on trying to edit the site while it is ‘live’, it is not working. It’s going to be a complete mess, until it’s all chopped and changed and merged (and some parts deleted). And all the posts made longer but less of them.
Thanks for your patience!
What’s this site about?
England is one of the world’s most beautiful countries! It has glorious countryside and sensational coastlines. We are a nation of kind people who like seaside walks and mountain hikes, and growing organic food on allotments, and nurturing rose gardens.
Yet something has happened in recent years. Beautiful fields and wildlife are now disturbed by litter, our oceans have more plastic than fish. Streets are overflowing with thrown-away bottles and cans, looked over by chain stores and vaping shops on ugly high streets, devoid of local income and empowerment.
At this site, you’ll find zero waste and eco-friendly alternatives to everyday items like food, beauty, clothing, shoes, cleaning and laundry. And heaps of helpful info on restoring green spaces, community volunteering and anything else that inspires!
So make yourself a pot of tea, and join the movement! To inspire not just each other – but the world.
