Well have now managed to free up some time temporarily so need to get with theUkdesi.com project as soon possible! Over the weekend the last remaining boards to add will go up and hopefully the shape of the site in terms of design can be worked on. A new member has joined called FoOlIsH (well he’s a friend of mine) but he does seem to have a great online presence about him so should prove a hit on theUkdesi.com forum.

Some of you may have noticed that upon entering the site, it automatically redirects to the forum page. This has been done using a simple index.php (is the default file that opens) page with the following code:

header(”Location: http://www.theukdesi.com/forum/”);
exit;
?>

That’s it!

Well the plan was simple, create a one page site with information on the product with click-through ads for it, has that worked? Nope! Google has decided to kill that coupon code I was using to get plenty of AdWords credit, oh well will have to wait around 4 days now for the new batch of codes to come through…

Until then, make sure you have a look at the site!

After a few hours of work, the 1 page site is now as good as complete and has been uploaded. The design which although isn’t amzing, it will do the designated job so no complaints there. The Amazon links have been embedded for both the US and UK audiences. The site has also been optimised for the SE with plenty of keywords and keyword density. As a finishing touch, adsense code and stats code has been added before finally uploading to server.

You can have a look at the site here:

Well Ive posted a message on one of my favourite sites Neowin.net forum in the Web & Graphic Designers feedback section using a generic Title (as article title, kinda lame really lol) so will just have to wait and see the outcome, hopefully the feedback is favourable Follow the thread on the Neowin.net forums here.

I also managed to stick in a link to this site in there as well, a shameless ad? LOL

Unlike most of the other projects, this one is a long term project that will be built up over time with (hopefully) strong links to some of the more stronger and more established players of British Asian media and sites. The target audience is 15-28 year olds from a desi background.

What is a desi though? Good question, according to the Wikipedia, a desi is a person of South Asian origin such as Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani or Sri Lankan. This is a similar term to ‘Latinos’, a word usally associated with people of Hispanic backgrounds.

The site will start with the development of the Forum first, once developed, work will start on the rest of the front end content. Stay tuned for more news and updates!

Well the design was completed quite some time ago, however, no feedback was requested from anyone so perhaps now is the time? Although, maybe add the link to this blog at a later point? The last time feedback was requested, there was very good feedback indeed. The site can be seen here, naturally, any comments, feedback or suggestions are more than welcome here

Once this stage is complete (and when I get a bit of time!), the backend will be added, although, it hasnt been decided yet whether to use a CMS system like Joomla or a blogging app like WordPress… Only time will tell!

Last Saturday, went out to watch The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Watch out for my review of the movie coming soon ) at the cinema, listening to the pumping soundtrack, I had already made plans to buy the Soundtrack the nextday. What happened? I discovered that the Soundtrack would not actually be released until the 20th of June (Yesterday as of writing in the US) and 27th June 2007 for the UK Release. It got me thinking…

Could this be yet another tidy project that can be automated i.e. once setup left to run on its own? With a small Adwords marketing budget to advertise while the SE (Stands for Search Engines) index the pages? Hmm that would work so off I went to grab a domiain name. After some deliberation I chose the following:

http://www.tokyodriftthesoundtrack.com

Im sure you will agree, its the perfect name (although it doesn’t contain ‘The Fast and the Furious’ or any subtags, we’ll reply on SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) for that. Domain and hosting is now sorted, I just need some time to get the contents and adlinks ready to post. The site http://www.tokyodriftthesoundtrack.com should be picked up by the SE (well MSN and Yahoo anyway) relatively quickly. More updates will be added later!
