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

[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. 🙂

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?

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?

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

 

[John Benton]

Just had one enquiry and I think he was just after how the job should be done. He was a competent DIYer and renovating a house but said he didn't do tiling as it was a skilled job!

 

[Dan]

Nice to hear John. 🙂

Don't know really, used to get a fair few enquires through the old website and I did no seo at all it's rankings we're purely through it being in my forum signature. Got a great rate immediately from Ctd as a direct result of being a member here I can't even begin to work out how much I've saved of materials over the years.

Just recently we have had a number of enquiries from clients who have read that we are a recommended tiler in East London on the Tilers' Forum.

For example, we tiled a shower room last weekend as the tiler had let the client down at the last minute and we are scheduled in July to rectify a travertine bathroom that was discussed on the Forum last year. We have also had our share of time wasters looking for quality work at a low rate! However, we have benefitted very well from our involvement on here and also advertised for tilers and helped out other tiling companies on the Forum.

I answered an advert in TF for a tiler to work in West London. Unfortunately, by the time I sent the PM the job had already gone. However, my number was kept on file and a few weeks later I got a call. I have now worked for this guy quite a few times, and in fact I'm working for him this week! This introduction is a direct result of the forum. Not only have I gained financially I have also gained from this tilers 20+ years of knowledge and experience.
Thank you Tilers Forums.
Cheers
Sean
