  1. http://www.print-garments.co.uk based in Sheffield have a range of premium Gildan tee shirts ready for printing. Here's a link to the catalogue - http://print-garments.co.uk/t-shirt-catalogue/ We print on these quite a bit - Gildan SoftStyleâ„¢ Ringspun Tee Really, Really Cheap - Prices are published on line too!!!
  2. Print Garments based at the Electric Works are cheap
  3. http://www.print-garments.co.uk (Print Garments) are based in Sheffield and have no minimum orders. Screen printing, DTG printing, Vinyl printing
  4. If you want the design to last and actually stay on the t shirt after it's been washed, i'd recommend either Direct to Garment (DTG) or Screen Printing. DTG is better for one off runs as they print each one individually. The links are to a Sheffield T Shirt Printing firm that we use. Hope this helps
  5. We use http://www.print-garments.co.uk they're a local Sheffield t shirt printing company
  6. Hi, First of all, £300 to £1000 per keyword is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. For a normal business website it should cost between £100 and £200 per month for 10 keywords and phrases. Tesco.com spend hundreds of thousands, but this just isn't necessary for most companies. Search engines like Google use complex algorithms based on over 200 variables which are kept as guarded secrets and changed regularly. This means there is no one formula for an SEO strategy. However, there are common factors and principles that will never change. These factors can be summed up as: 1. On page optimisation 2. External linking 3. Internal link structures On page optimisation refers to the way you have crafted the text on your site. You need to identify the 10 - 15 phrases your customers are most likely to input into Google and then use these prominently in your websites text, titles, URL, meta data, header code, footer code and embedded files like pictures. External Linking is one of the most important aspects of SEO. This is logical because the more quality and related links a site has, the greater the traffic of quality visitors your site will receive. Each site that has a link to yours is seen as a 'vote'. It is important to note that not all links are created equal, search engines like google will place a greater emphasis on not only the relevance of each link, but the respective page rank of external linking site. For example a link from http://www.FT.com will have much more 'weight' than a from a site with little content created in the last few days. The best method for link building is to write a couple of quality articles a day about your site, publish on blogs and forums. This kills two birds with one stone - You get higher on Google and it's great PR. A good SEO firm will spend most of their time writing these for you. Please note that you should ask to see EVIDENCE of all articles submitted. If they say no... Alarm bells should ring. BEWARE - Google penalises sites with bad links. If you have had a bad experience with an SEO firm, it is likely they created links through 'link exchanges' and 'link farms'. If Google catches your business using these cheat methods, the penalty with be eternal obscurity. Make you sure you ask for documented evidence of all links created. As with articles, if they cannot you might be in trouble. Internal link structure refers to the way your site and the links on it are structured. To get noticed by Google, the site has to be crawl-able by spiders (also known as robot.txt files). These spiders are how search engines index your businesses pages, they can only pass from page to page when there is an open pathway. The best way to do this is to create a 'site-map' and submit this to Google. That way the spiders will be able to index every part of your site and you will start to rise on the search engine ladder. If your website is important for generating clients and revenue then professional help is advised, however I would advise that you brush up on search engine science to make sure your not conned by the large number of digital cowboys charging £1000 per keyword, ultimately destroying your sites search credibility and the reputation of the SEO industry which in general helps thousands of businesses to reach their profit targets. SEO however is not a quick process, it takes at least 3 months to get to the top of Google and A LOT of hard work, If a company say they can do it for a one time fee, they are highly likely to be fraudulent. If you have the time to do it yourself though, this will reap rewards in spades. Once it has been done your positioning on Google requires little maintaining and can be considerably cheaper in the long run than Pay Per Click (PPC) strategies such as Google Adwords. I hope this helps, I am happy to discuss any aspect of your SEO and Digital Marketing needs and offer free consultancy. Even if you want to use another firm, it makes sense to double check prices and service standards. Kindest regards,
  7. Great website. Love the design, you are obviously very skilled. I think you will need more optimised text though to get the site prominently on Google. If you want any help with SEO or digital marketing give me a call. Always happy to give free consultations. Good luck!
  8. I think you are on to something here. If people get what they want then you have a valuable service on your hands! First of all there really is no issue with having a "-" in your URL. In fact it is becoming good practice for web masters to use hyphens for their SEO landing pages. For instance I am building a site at the moment as a little sideline for my interest in vegan nutrition. I want to attract visitors who search for "recipes for vegans", so i have used the URL: www. recipes-for-vegans.com (please note this site is only 5% complete). You're much more likely to pick up business through search engines rather than direct traffic. Try building a second page (landing page) with a URL specific to the search terms you think customers will enter into google. If you need help with any of your digital marketing give me call on 07403761251 or email: david.black@greensquaremile.com I run an SEO firm based in Sheffield and would be delighted to be part of your network. Best of luck, we need it in these times!
