So let’s take a brief look back at what 2008 has held for both myself and EggRage.

Achievements For 2008

Well given that we only launched in February of this year I think we’ve done pretty well for 2008, though still a pale immitation in comparison to some of the bigger blogs out there.

New Job

I moved jobs in 2008 from being a full time SEO engineer at an SEO agency to being lead web designer, and head of SEO at one of the UK’s leading extreme sports experience retailers [Extreme Element]. This was a great move for me and I’m chuffed to be working in a far more relaxed office environment, as well as being a core member of a company which has got some really bright prospects for the future.

Redesign

In August I purchased my very first theme from WooThemes and applied it to this site to expand it’s range a little bit as the previous free theme which we were using was pretty basic! I’m made very little visual modifications to the theme so far but you can expect it to get a little more ‘custom’ in 2009!

Launched Other Sites

Throughout the year I’ve launched a couple of other sites that all now growing very well, and in turn link back to EggRage to provide us with more coverage and traffic.

As a result we’ve just taken on our first set of mainstream affiliates and we’d like to tell you a little bit about them and offer you the chance of joining the EggRage advertising team.

iNetZeal

First up is iNetZeal who are a company (funnily enough) specialising in SEO services – as most of you will know from previous posts, I have a big problem with SEO companies who rip off their clients, so I was delighted to see that iNetZeal offer unbelievably reasonably prices for all their services, and are a very professional outfit all round. You can check them out on iNetZeal.com

Romow

We’re also very pleased to be welcoming Romow to the team, who are a very extensive and highly visited web directory. They’ve got a really great traffic rating and some extremely highly rated listings (as voted for by the users themselves, as it should be!) And are well worth checking out at Romow.com – you might even want to submit your own site while you’re there! ;)

Interested In Seeing Your Site Here?

Our advertisers help keep this site going, and we’re massively greatful to them for it! If you’re interested in joining the team then head on over to buysellads where you’ll find all our ‘vital statistics’ and prices.

We hope to see you in our sidebar soon!
