Gofarmer Website Upgrades

The Gofarmer website has recently gone through some changes. The payment system is no longer run through WorldPay (RBS) but has been changed to Moneybookers. It has taken a while to get the new payment system integrated but it is finally working as it should (fingers crossed).

And I have had all urls (website addresses) for the search categories and sub-categories optimised for the search engines so instead of the web address just reading http://www.gofarmer.com/search?search.php it now reads http://www.gofarmer.com/search?livestock-for-sale for example. This should really help with the website’s Google rankings and thus organic traffic from search engines.

The website was then running very slow and at times not loading at all. After discussions with the website host and having a programmer look at it, the problem was traced back to a script running to track how well sponsor adverts performed. This has been removed and replaced and all seems to be working fine now.

An advert is running in each issue of HomeFarmer magazine and another about to start in Smallholder magazine. I also intend to do more regular online promotion.
