Interest in Belchamp Walter
Having posted a number of pages on the Subject of Belchamp Walter and having confirmed that they are indexed by Google I am pretty sure that there is little interest in the village, by those making Google searches in any case. I cannot be sure about other searches as Bing and the other search engines do not offer the same level of analysis to the webmaster
This is not to say that there is no interest in the village at all but that there is a possibly restricted to Social Media.
Again, this confirms that a website is NOT the way to promote the village and/or events.
At the time of writing this, April 2023, I checked to see what Google Impression were registered for the words "Belchamp" and "Walter". "Walter" did not appear in the "Most Recent" report and there was only one for "Belchamp" and that was for the query "belchamps easter egg hunt" and that was generated by my page "bw_easter_egg_hunt_2022.html".
It is more likely that the person making that search was looking for information on the Belchamps Scout Camps annual Easter Egg Hunt. This has happened in previous years.
Bing and other searches
I cannot tell if these are being made, but it is safe to say that if there were I would see some clicks on pages, which I do from time to time.
I do know of those that regularly search on their Android phones and iPads and I would have thought that at least the Apple based searches would register. However, I think the majority of searches performed in that case are phone based.
Other Experiments
I have tried to promote events at the village, such as the Annual Craft Fair, this met with mixed results and the general feeling that it was not worth the effort. I admit that at first that I could use a webpage or two along with Facebook to do this promotion as many of the exhibitors were Facebook users. However, was to find that Facebook shimmed outbound links from their users pages which effectively discouraged the Facebook user to visit this website. Consequently I added similar shims to this website.
