Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I've tried the whole google alerts thing, but apart from finding some very dodgy pay me £200 and i'll spin your article a 1000 times type stuff anything moderately interesting usually mentions the bathroom as a place of the activity rather than the focal point of a search.

Completely agree on the useful answers bit, I think I will get straight on that one.

Ok I know what you're going to say.. social media etc right?

The problem is we do that already but we're stuck in an industry that just isn't very sexy!

People reading twitter/facebook don't want to read about toilets in their spare time, or keep it as a hobby.

If you search bathroom blog (uk google), you will see we are about 5th, it gets us no traffic, as I imagine it's not a popular term so I can see you starting to ask why we write a blog in the first place.

We write the blog because at the moment the whole industry is dominated by pile it high sell it cheap online stores and all their blogs are written for google only so finding decent or unbiased advice is rare.

Seriously, these guys are creating fake blogs and paying for links inside other blogs all over the place in order to boost their rankings so we figure if you really want some good advice people can't find it.

If they find our blog they will get some good advice and good content.. and then the hope is that they give us a call and we can see if we can help them.

The problem is these guys are hogging all the keywords.. and it seems the bathroom industry has very few keywords that people search!

Now I know we are in it for the long haul.. so taking time doesn't bother me, but I was wondering if there were any tried and tested places to post a blog that could get us at least seen so that people could see how different our content is?

Or if all else fails, can anyone suggest the right keywords to aim at besides the "bathroom suites" etc that these huge online stores dominate?
