2010 Plans
2010...
So with two lean years as far as our leisure trips go,
what are our plans for this year? Despite having to watch the
pennies, we're in the early stages of planning another summer
self-catering cottage holiday, maybe to the Isle of Wight or Robin Hood
country in Nottingham. We really do want to resume our London day
trips and have a list of attractions to visit, and have a further list
of other contenders around the home counties. Watch this space!

What we did in 2009...
 For
our summer holiday we went touring the Cotswolds in July, this proved to
be our first visit of the year due to increasingly tight
finances. The only other trip we got in was a visit to Osborne House on the Isle of
Wight in September. We had intended to make up lost ground from
the previous year with more trips, but decided to curtail our leisure
visits somewhat to conserve funds as finances became tighter than ever.
We have links to related
tourist websites to our visits.

Site Usage
December report...
The military related picture galleries remain the most
visited, with the RAF Museum
the most popular, followed by the Tank Museum.
Looking at site paths taken, many of our visitors arrive on an image
gallery page after referral from a search engine, then head for the
home page, then the galleries index page and
from there onto other gallery pages (usually related to their original
search interest, eg, military, West Country, castles, theme parks and
so on). The same pattern applies for our product review pages. The
video
pages are not so popular; they haven't been for some time, we suspect
because we haven't added any new ones for a few years and, after all,
there's YouTube and the like now!
Our RSS
tourist news feed blog continues to attract many users, check it
out for our monthly pick of tourism programming on TV and latest
tourist news.
A recent trend has emerged with many referrals from the
blogging community (thank you blogging community!). And
we're finally getting to grips with Google Analytics to analyse even
more our site's usage so Mike can bore you all with even more stats!
Website Plans
During 2009 we were hoping to attract some advertising. Well, it now
looks like that was a mis-timed venture if ever there was one, what
with the downturn in tourism advertising spend brought on by the credit
crunch. Doh! We'll be tweaking this in 2010! This
spring we're going to be adding social bookmarking links to our pages
and maybe a Twitter presence also, in time for the UK tourist season.
Looking further ahead, we have new page plans - a 'rants
& raves' page and a UK touring guide page. We're also looking
to split our tourist links page as it's
become rather bloated. A search facility to cope with our, by
now, many image galleries is becoming a necessity too!
We also plan more product
reviews to compliment our digital
camera, camcorder, Sat Nav and talkie walkie reviews.
