Valdehermoso 2006

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Call me old fashioned but I still can’t get used to plastic “corks”. I know the arguement is old.

This wine from Bordegas y Vinedos Valderiz was most unassuming and easy to drink without shouting hey I’m full of blackcurrents with a hint of coal, or any of that twaddle. Just a nice everyday wine, thank you.

“The complete absence of herbicides, pesticides and mineral fertilizers is our hallmark” Quoted from the Vineyards waesite, they really should make more of this claim

Denominatin de origin  Ribera Del Duero

Some of my favourite subjects

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I know it’s not all about me, but I do enjoy writing about things I like.

So, it should be no surprise to read here about Wine and Affiliate Marketing in the same entry.

Let me explain, It’s no secret that I have often registered domains without any real idea what to do with them. That way www.mywinelist.co.uk came to be and for many moons it simply pointed to www.shops-mart.co.uk’s food and drink section.  I’ve now added a category for Wine and Vineyards, to which I will add links to the Vineyards that supply wines that I enjoy and, where I can, links to places to purchase the featured wines—this will be fun for me.

The above will be all the more enjoyable, if I can find decent wine suppliers with their own affiliate program in place, then a few pennies will come our way every time our link is employed in a sale. If these wine suppliers don’t have an affiliate program in place, I should be able to point them (or anyone else) in the direction of reputable program facilitators.

SEO Myth or Fact

Friday, March 21st, 2008

After years of slogging with updates for Wabbit.co.uk, we have finally reached No. 1 on page 1 in MrG UK for the search term Safe Search and No. 1 on page 1 in G.com for the term Ethical Safe Search – a pat on the back is well deserved.

Mattressman delivers the goods

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

A new mattress can make all the difference to a night’s sleep, don’t forget your mattress will wear out. We had a good experience buying our new mattress from Mattressman.co.uk, an online retailer of everything to do with beds. They offer free next–day delivery. You might think there may be problems buying something as large as a mattress, but no, it came well protected and without damage, although it was a little heavy for the poor delivery driver. Another thumbs up for online shopping, mattressman.co.uk affiliate program is promoted by Affiliate Window, and if you need to find out about affiliate marketing a good place to start would be Altovista.co.uk.
