Kia ora From New Zealand

[Simon]

I've spent most of my weekend here so thought it is about time to introduce myself.

Firstly, Great forum!

I work provide the SEO services for a Christchurch Web design company. We deal mostly with New Zealand based sites and get good results for the keywords we target.

I’m looking to expand my knowledge base and find out ‘Why’ sites are placed where they are, how to do something about it and get the skill to compete in the international arena. If anybody is at all interested they can checkout my first attempt targeting competitive phrases through my signature.
I’m also really developing a passion for e-commerce solutions and generating revenue on the Web. :)

On a personal note I’m interested in most things, particularly chocolate, bourbon, performance motorcycles, and my fiancée. Good food and fine wine also play a part in my life but unfortunately not as large a part as pizza and cheap wine.

It's good to be here.

Welcome to the madness.

I used to live in New Zealand for 9 months, in Matamata and Great Barrier Island. I miss NZ. Maybe I'll go visit again someday.

You made the ugg site?

Yep.

It is my very first site.

It has been one of those projects, that started out as a learning process, and by the time you 'finish' it you have learned so much you want to start again.

It's getting pretty cold now, Mt Hutt opened this weekend and Wanaka had snow earlier in the week. Their was a brief snow flurry in CHCH city early Friday morning.

So yep winter is here.

I agree. I really like the site. Very cool. Good job. Best wishes and much success with it and everything else too.

Mmmmm pizza. Mmmmmm welcome.

Welcome Simon,
(Is ugg another name for a sheepskin boot? or a brand name ?)

Cheers,

There are a couple of theories as to where the term 'ugg' came from. The most popular is it is and abbreviation of Ugly, or Ugly boots; simply because they are, or at least were. Originally they were darned together by anyone with basic sewing skills and soon became popular with surfers.

The name was brought by Deckers Outdoor and now UGG is a brand name. My site is an affiliate site, or at least that is the business model for now. I plan to keep adding content so that it geniuinely becomes the definitive guide to ugg boots.

Way way down the rankings at the moment, suspect I am being sandboxed. Much work to do.

You've got my vote buddy. I like your layout. I'd prob buy except that I am in the tropics here. Sheepskin and tropics don't go together very well.

She has her sights set on Sumner as a good place to emigrate to.Sumner is good......it's a beach with hills behind, anywhere along the hills is a good place to live....views from the ocean, over the city, over the Canterbury plains to the Alps. Absolutely magnificent, especially in winter when they are covered in snow.

HI Simon,

Welcome to DP. I was visiting Christchurch in April and really loved it. Ever eaten at Honey Pot Cafe? They had the best breakfast plates....Too bad they're so darn far away from San Francisco!

Hey Dreamshop,

I haven't been their for breakfast but we had our work Christmass party there.

Pizza is great, especially the dessert pizza, sounds strange I know but strawberry and chocolate on pizza is actually quite good.

:eek: fo' real?

Although I'm living in a country that thinks bacon/cheese/egg is nice on a traditional pancake (thats meant to have maple syrup, lemon & sugar on)

The world has gone nuts. People need to stop mixing sweet & savory together.

& Peanut butter & jelly should be banned. *Dear Mr. Bush....*


ehh, welcome.

[sarahk]

btw Cyclops, I love your avatar

[Cyclops]

btw Cyclops, I love your avatarThanks Sarahk...it sums up my relationship with Google quite succinctly :mad: .

My Daughter has arrived home after a week in CHCH, she had a ball...went skiing at Mt Hutt.....saw some whales at Kaikoura....spent a night out partying with three of the guys from the British Lions Rugby team, met them at the Holy Grail, there are no Shane Warne type tales to tell, she said they acted like perfect gentlemen.....well thats what she tells me ;) ....I thought one of them looked a little off his game against Southland though :o .
