Back to Work

I'm BACK!!!

Yes, it's true, it really is me, I'm back and ready to get back to work again. The last couple of months have been crazy, me, my backpack, a small tent, and nothing else, no laptop, no phone, just me and nature touring Spain on foot. What a blast, but it's time to get back to work again.

The funny thing about taking a couple of months off is the amount of spam messages filling your email box, or the number of comments you need to clear from blogs and websites. It took me all day to get back to a state that I can start working again, but hey, I enjoyed my walk so that's the main thing.

Being back in front of my laptop after a couple of months is interesting, it's amazing to see which websites have performed, which are just sitting there costing me money, and which domains I don't really care about any more.

Actually I recommend taking a couple of months away from your websites every couple of years, because only by doing nothing to a site do you appreciate which sites are attracting organic traffic growth, and which really depend on SEO for their income.

So a few of the sites were deleted this morning, I'd rather focus all my energy on sites that have a baseline of organic growth, then all I need to do is build on that, instead of starting from scratch with link building.

Aside from that I've also decided I really need to see more of Spain, this really is a beautiful country. Sorry no photos of my trip, I made a decision at the beginning of the walk to leave my camera behind, otherwise a holiday would seem too much like work since I also own several travel websites.

Thanks everyone who sent messages, I'll reply to them all later today, Carl
