Q: What happened to the old site?

A: It is hibernating for a few months.

Q: Why?

A: We were unable to attract any significant income from advertisers, marketing companies, PR companies or any other interested parties. Even with 10 times more readership than most magazines, nobody wanted to pay...for anything.

Q: Will it return?

A: If sufficient companies want to get their message out and pay for it, yes.

Q: How does it affect my company?

A: Industrial and Manufacturing companies lost over 200,000 annual website visitors, the ability to convert and present videos, post up unlimited news, podcasts, blog, join the forum and have your own ecommerce shop...all in one place!

Q: But I have my own website. Isn't that enough?

A: Yes, if it's a good site that is findable on Google and you are getting enquiries. No enquiries? Your site is a dud. Remember: Google see nothing of your pretty image on the monitor...they only see the code behind it. The Daily Engineer brought you lots of "new" extra traffic.

Q: What happening now?

A: We put up the old lubricants site back online.

The Daily Engineer is here and all comments are appreciated...

Charles Clayton runs other websites and continues to bring large commercial success to a number of local companies that sell products and services into B2B and B2C. "Clients like our SEO, copy writing and website usability skills." Charles Clayton added: "Websites can be a hugely profitable investment if built correctly. Unfortunately most companies and their website become an online vanity exercise and they think it's something like a brochure...a huge mistake"

The Daily Engineer will return.
