Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I was going to put 30,000 first! I thought "Is it 3000 or 30,000" but I plumped with 3000, stupidly. Way to go Chris (even if it is a bit of a comedown from 421,000!) Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 According to alexa.com I probably get about 10x more than coincraft...It's not advertising that gets the hits to websites, it's search engine efficiency, and that is something I have studied and invested lots of time on. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 No, never 421,000 visits.....421,000th in the world! Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 The one thing about the Coincraft site I like (Emperor Oli prepares for flaming) is.........the coin in their banner! Yes, I wonder if they ever had that coin, they probably nicked it from another site lol.That many visitors Chris?! That is impressive, I thought it would be about 5000 I wonder how many visitors you'll be getting in ten years time. You might even get more than Coincraft, or even (dare I say it!) Westminster or the Royal Mint!!Don't underestimate predecimal.com power, where else do you get this level of personal assistance and perhaps the fastest growing British coin site in the world? You stick by me chaps, and I will stick by you.Coming soon will be lots and lots more coins for you to drool at, and as I get more established and learn more about web design and new technologies, it can only get better in appearance and functionality.

Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Ah ok. Quite sneaky of you researching the engines to push ahead of coincraft though! With all this talk of Coincraft, I went on the site to the Edward VIII bit. It seems they have struck some bimetallic coins. In the piece however, it says the two pieces of metal nned to be lined up by hand. I thought this was rather odd and inefficient and doubted its validity. Is it true? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Westminster coins are rubbish. Quote

Wow, 10x more than coincraft. I thought it would be about 10x less! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Yes, we all agreed that Westminster and Coincraft are in the same league! Quote

In the piece however, it says the two pieces of metal nned to be lined up by hand. I thought this was rather odd and inefficient and doubted its validity. Is it true? That sounds a bit dodgy, if that happened with our £2 coins then we would barely have any! Those pictures are good, aren't they: Westminster and Coincraft are definitely in the same league, at the bottom! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I just can't see the Mint's workers with magnifying glasses up close to the coins lining the two pieces up somehow. So Coincraft:Sell rubbish stuffLie Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Well we cannot call them liars, maybe they made their coins by hand. I'm sure even Mr Lobel can't afford the Royal Mint equipment. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Even if they did go to all that trouble, they are priced at £18.95 each, and if they have indeed lied, then it just isn't worth buying. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Well we cannot call them liarsAgreed, but they do sell rubbish Quote

Hahaha, now this is a proper spelling error, much worse than mine.Correction: In the piece however, it says the two pieces of metal NEED to be lined up by hand. Signed,William, and his secret contact (you know who you are!) Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Yes, they are rubbish aren't they, with trade dollar reverse.I cringe at the language used to, it's so 'American Salesman' (no offence Americans) and it really makes me want to puke.I bet they only sell 1 set per 100,000 viewers of that page, which probably equate to about 5 a year!

Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 It's a typo! I know how to spell NEED it's a flippin' four letter word: I got one letter out which happened to be the preceding one - a common typing error Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Well we cannot call them liarsAgreed, but they do sell rubbish Ugh, they're hideous, and terribly over priced, lol! How many people would buy that, and why would they buy it?! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 William said that he would catch you out one day and he did!!!!!!! Quote

Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Well when typing at 60WPM I do make mistakes Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Well when typing at 60WPM I do make mistakes How fast? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 How fast? Sixty words per minute. My great-aunt was a secretary and she taught me how to touch-type early on... Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Sixty words per minute. My great-aunt was a secretary and she taught me how to touch-type early on... You can touch type? I can't, but I am pretty fast already without touch typing so I don't really need to... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 It makes you a lot faster trust me. Some people who I sit next to in I.T type withone finger which is intolerable! Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Some people who I sit next to in I.T type withone finger which is intolerable! Yes, the people I sit next to in IT are pathetic typers. Some do it with one finger, some use both, but whatever they do, it's always as slow as Hell, I get desperate watching them try to find the key they are looking for!PS: I do type with two hands Quote
