Well, not exactly ‘closed’ – you can still view my pages, but I won’t be around.
I’m going on holiday with Ali and my two boys for a week in Spain from today. And, I’m not allowed to take my laptop with me! So, if you post a comment or contact me, then I’ll get back to you next weekend (7th June).
At the end of last month, I shared my stats of how the Renegade Conservatory Guy website is going, so I’ve decided to keep the idea going (at least for another month).
The month of May has not quite finished (one day to go), but I’m chuffed to see that the number of visitors has increased during the month:

It’s not a massive increase, but during April I had a really big hit with the story about Anglian being on Watchdog. Page views are down a bit, but there’s still 12 hours to go. I haven’t had any big hits this month, but generally the visitors and page views are on an upward trend.
The following two images show the search words that people are using to find the website:


It is clear that there are a lot of people searching for topics related to Anglian Home Improvements such as:
Anglian complaint watchdog
Anglian Watchdog
watchdog Anglian
Anglian Complaints
Anglian Windows Watchdog
Anglian Windows Complaints
Anglian Home Improvements Watchdog
BBC watchdog Anglian Windows
The list goes on….
In fact, as I look through all the referrals I get from Google a big slice of them are from people interested in information about Anglian, whether they are doing a good job and whether they are on the verge of bankruptcy. Do people know something that I don’t?
The Directors of Anglian will be pleased to know that I do not intend for the future of the Renegade Conservatory Guy website to become a forum for complaints about any company. A number of people have commented that any company has the potential to do a bad job, and I think we should maybe leave it at that for now.
There’s also been a number of visits to my site from people interested in Nigel Gray the builder who pulled down a conservatory for a ‘rogue customer’ who wouldn’t pay. There also seems to be a lot of people interested in the demise of the Abbott Group, and the involvement of Sprint 1234.
The biggest development in May has been the new Renegade Conservatory Guy design, and the ability for people to subscibe to my posts, and receive an email as soon as I add something new.
Can you believe I now have 23 people subscribing to a blog about double glazing, and I didn’t need to apply the hard sell!
I’ve got some really good content for May already buzzing around in my mind…I can’t wait to share it with you. I like this blogging thing. I just wish I wasn’t the only person with a blog dedicated to double glazing and conservatory industry issues. It would be so nice to find out what other people are thinking as well.
