As with last year, I will be attending a number of them so give me a shout if you will be too!

  • Hello. I have checked your tomgodwin.co.uk and i see you’ve
    got some duplicate content so probably it is the reason that you don’t rank high in google.

    But you can fix this issue fast. There is a tool that generates content like human, just
    search in google: miftolo’s tools

    such things, thus I am going to tell her.
