How much business has tilersforums.co.uk got you over the years?

[Dan]

Thought I'd make a Poll to see how much business tilersforums.com has got you in over the years.

So this is an approximate figure of the turn over tilersforums.com has gotten you directly, or indirectly (so perhaps the customer saw you here, then clicked on your website, then gave you some work, and mentioned the forum perhaps or something random like that).

And it isn't over any time frame, this is the total approximate over the length of time you've had your forum account here.

And it's just a rough figure we're after.

Results are anonymous. If you reply with the figure, clearly that isn't anonymous.

only thing i learnt off this site is to trust no one.

Perhaps even consider the web advice you've received via the forum, and as a result, increased web rankings therefore business gained? And that sort of thing?
business via your facebook page as a result of getting advice here or gaining likes here?
Maybe your freeindex listing due to group feedback things we've done from time to time has increased and you've gained extra business out of that?

All indirect business from the forum perhaps.

I had one job for a swimming pool, and one enquiry but that was as far as that one whent, so thanks to the forum :hurray:

 

[Andy Allen]

ive had 3 enquires looked at 2 of them, but they were time wasters wanting top notch work for peanut money..

don't seem to get many jobs for my neck of the woods on the forum, come to think of it theres not any members on here near to me either...

Why's this, Dan? Are you going to start charging commission? :lol:

Fair comment Andy.

Are you sure you get no extra hits to your website through Google searches which you own on via the forum like this one? https://www.google.co.uk/search?sou....,cf.osb&fp=7e78e953b47d7bc0&biw=1578&bih=992

Do you track your website stats and referrals from the forum to see how many hits you get from the forum each month?

Yes mate. 50%

(No - going to make some articles over the coming months and this data will be valuable to me for that)

I have not had work directly from the forum as far as I am aware.

I have had lots of help though in terms of knowledge and advice over the years since getting involved with tiling.

Most recently I had lots of help from the forum members Dan in particular when getting my Facebook page up and running. (Thanks again for that Dan)

I have saved money on products and service though so I guess that has made me money

 

[Dan]

Yeah I guess you could consider that too. Click the £1 to £100 then mate lol - I'd have charged you £100 for my help if you weren't a forum member.

no i dont check the stats dan, to be fair i wouldnt know how to :lol: i have put a link to the forum in my web site would that make any difference to the amount of hits i get?

 

[Dan]

No mate not really.

You want to check with your hosting provider to see what 'stock' statistics are available with the hosting account. But also consider installing Google Analytics on your website (probably the best free stats available).

You will get a fair few hits from the forum I would imagine because you use your signature quite well, and post so much. So while your own website doesn't rank that well, the forum threads you contribute do seem to rank very well, and for a lot of search terms too it seems (after looking again just now).

So I guess the question is, do you get calls from your website? And do those turn into customers? If you do, it's probably the forum doing most of the work for you (though consider other listings you might have such as freeindex etc too).

If you count that i got my website through this forum and the work i get through that, then if that counts then the max figure isn't high enough. :lol:

 

[Dan]

Hope you voted that max one then!!!!! lol
