Back from London

I was in London with work this week hence the lack of posting, my apologies! I’m still alive…just. Unfortunately I’m suffering from abdominal pains that have lasted for two months now. I’m waitin for an ultrasound to rule out gallstones and then a gastroscopy (camera down the throat).

Unfortunately, the waiting time for the latter examination is up to 4 months! Going private is an option but it costs over £1,000 – money that I have but don’t want to spend when I pay taxes and am entitled to free health care.

In an attempt to take my mind off things, I have been building sites continously. I need to let them mature and that means leaving them for a few months. You can’t expect a new site with a brand new domain name to rank well immediately, you need to let things age a little. So, I’m turning my efforts back to my bigger sites and recruiting freelancers to add more content. The hard part here is finding local writers with good knowledge, e.g. a writer in London who has knowledge of local nightclubs. Does anyone have any good sites? My friend recommended Guru.com so I might give them a try.

In other, offline news, my cleaning company, Edinburgh Clean is doing well. We’ve got a few clients and things are building up slowly but surely. I’m looking at expanding into other domestic and commercial services but I need to research this more. I’m a firm believer in not putting all your eggs in one basket hence I invest both on and offline.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.
