In this digital age, it’s crucial for small businesses and sole traders to establish a strong online presence. Enter “Near Me,” a new website designed to assist and uplift these local heroes. Let’s take a closer look at this exciting project and how it aims to help businesses in and around Colchester and beyond.
Microsites: Your Digital Business Card
“Near Me” is all about microsites, and you might be wondering what they are. Think of microsites as small, personalized websites created for individual businesses. These microsites contain valuable information about the business, such as their services, history, contact details, and more. But the magic doesn’t end here.
The Power of Backlinks
One standout feature of “Near Me” microsites is the inclusion of a backlink to the business’s profile. This backlink isn’t just a link; it’s a bridge to online recognition. It helps businesses gain what’s known as local domain authority, a vital factor for search engine rankings. With “Near Me,” local businesses can shine on the internet.
Colchester: Where It All Begins
“Near Me” has chosen Colchester as its starting point. This historic town, filled with unique businesses, is the perfect place to kick off this initiative. The goal is to document and support as many local businesses in Colchester as possible, creating a strong local network of recognition and assistance.
Expanding Horizons
While the project’s roots are in Colchester, “Near Me” has bigger dreams. Once they have successfully documented a significant number of local businesses in Colchester, they plan to extend their help to other areas. The “Near Me” model can be replicated in any community, giving businesses the online exposure they deserve.
More Than Just Microsites
But “Near Me” isn’t limited to microsites. The creators of this project have a broader vision in mind. In addition to microsites, they plan to offer reviews, articles, and business assistance. It’s not just about having an online presence; it’s about being part of a supportive community and accessing resources to thrive.
In Conclusion: A Bright Future for Local Businesses
“Near Me” is a digital project with a noble purpose, (after all I made it) – to provide a helping hand to small businesses and sole traders. Through microsites, backlinks, and a community-driven approach, it’s making it easier for local businesses to stand out in the online world. Starting in Colchester and with plans to expand, “Near Me” is set to make a lasting impact on local businesses, offering them the online recognition they need and the support they deserve. It’s a beacon of hope for businesses near and far.

The web ring is an old concept where a number of websites all list friendly websites or websites of similar content or allied websites that work together to increase the total power of all websites as a group by linking them together. Backlinks are one of the key concepts behind modern SEO and help websites get found on search engines like Google – when you have a group of sites all working together and supporting each other, it boosts all of the websites relevancy on search engines.
The simplest way to explain this is that a website has a value, known as a Domain Authority, this is made up of several different factors that work together to increase it’s power. Domain Age, Amount of quality links going to the site, the retention of traffic etc. The web ring allows people to help others and in turn be helped by providing backlinks for relevancy.
The concept is simple: Creating a page on every website dedicated to the web ring, which links to all allied sites and provides a little information about all of them. This can be linked to in the footer at the bottom of the website where it won’t be seen by people generally but it will be accessible easily as far as crawlers are concerned.
Once the pages are up and operational, each of them provides a small SEO boost to every other website which is part of the web ring.
Each site has a domain authority. My site, chanwalrus.com has a good domain authority which hovers between 16-18 most of the time, so a link from my site will help any site I link to. I cover this on my homepage where I link to Shadebob Games and Levy and Co Solicitors which boosts them. I am the composer for a Shadebob Games and I also work with the solicitors, so ultimately they benefit from my links. Levy and Co also links back to me which is invaluable in increasing my site’s power. This way we mutually benefit from working together. This also helps every site Levy and Co links to, and my site with all the people I link to.
I run several micro sites on my domain which allows my friends to get found easily from my main website. As they get quite a few clickthroughs it benefits them to be on my site and benefits me as people are clicking to me to find them. Kinda like linktree but less powerful. If you have a linktree, make sure it’s linking to your website. It’ll help increase relevancy. Their links are quality backlinks.
Ultimately joining a web ring is good for boosting a website’s power, so I will benefit as will everyone who takes part and from what I can gather there are no downsides to it as we are all (except for me) legitimate business owners (I am a crook and am on the run from the space police in my series!). By working together in this way we will all benefit from forming a web ring, increasing all of our power. Which is pretty awesome.

Heya, sorry for the lack of content and updates recently. I’ve been waging a war on an internet marketing company known as Yell. Formed from the darkest souls mixed within a crucible of sheer malevolence, Yell has systematically destroyed many businesses. Have a quick read of my analysis of their diabolically insidious company here: Yell.com – Information on their Services
I had first come across Yell when a customer asked me whether they were a good company to use. After an analysis of their services a few years back, I managed to talk my customers out of trusting them, and provided those same services as part of my current deals. Not only did I analyse the company, but I also read customer reviews, such as this fantastic article by ClawaBear. Which brings to attention the paid advertising scam that Yell are running… The Yell Business Contract being one of the most awful things I’ve ever read – which forces customers to pay Yell regardless of how badly their company performs.
Overall, I would never recommend a company go with Yell, their advertising, services, websites, the whole lot are of a quality inferior to most of the services you can get on Fiverr.

Video isn’t dead. Recently I got talking with my friend Nick Box, who is a bit of a legend in the UK Indy Cinema world – I’d worked with him on several titles from his company Dead Good Films like – and he told me about his quest to open a video store. Nick’s dream was to create his own cave of treasures, a shop where you could find all those amazing titles you just can’t get anywhere else. Videos, Beta-Max and more can now be acquired, retro style deep in the recesses of “The Crypt” in Blackpool.
You can find out more about Dead Format on their Facebook Page.
The Crypt just happens to be owned by Kurt Dirt, known for his bizarre performance art and work on several Troma films. Naturally, as fellow cinemaphiles we did what we could to help bring the dream to life, and like Frankenstein’s monster, a little juice got the whole thing up and running. Nick’s created something marvellous with Dead Format, and I cannot wait to see it flourish. I’d like to share with you a small podcast of the Dead Format podcast featuring Stuart Fitzsimmons, who I’ve also had the pleasure of working with on Mycophobia. I’m so happy that finally, one of my good friends is helping live this dream. I hope Dead Format will be around for many years to come.
