Thread Name: Canal songs (UK)
Subject: RE: Canal songs (UK)
Over the last few months I have updated and added to the Songs of the Inland Waterways website. There are now a significant number of videos to go with the 300+ songs documented on there. The address also has been changed to be https://www.waterwaysongs.info rather than http://www........

Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to send Google sitemaps, the website has become pretty much invisible as far as Google searches for such things as 'canal songs' or 'waterway songs' go and I'm getting very few visitors. Sometimes, when searching, I get results for the 'old' pages (which display a narrowboat logo)rather than the 'new' ones (with a circular logo in the top LH corner).

Often these problems 'sort themselves out' so I'm not going to tinker with the site for a while but it would be interesting to know if the site shows up when others search using Google or Bing.

If anyone can help then I'd be grateful. And if you are interested in UK waterway songs and visit the site then this might boost the numbers and make Mr Google take note. Thanks in advance - this is a non-commercial project - I have nothing to gain by maintaining this site.

Stay safe
Ian
