Not Lounging Around!

BLOG: Not Lounging Around!

We recently re-launched Meet the Author's interview site as Authors' Lounge TV.

The site had been around for about 5 months and had built up a decent following from the blogosphere. It made sense as fans are quite likely to write about exclusive video interviews of their favourite authors.

With bloggers in mind we introduced a few cool social bookmarking and embedding tools to help syndicate the content around the web, as well as overhauling the look and feel so it felt more like an Internet Television Channel.

In the two months since re-launch the traffic has tripled on average and the number one source of referrals are indeed blogs, with natural listings on Google a close second. Well you have to chuck in a bit of SEO haven't you?

More column inches

This is becoming odd - four bits of press in the last 7 days. This time a double page spread in today's Guardian. Not about 'us' exactly (or at all, really if we're honest), but about the site we designed, built and developed over the last 2 years or so for Meet the Author.

Whilst it's still available, you can check it out on the Guardian Unlimited website here:

Codegent site wins Award

BLOG: Codegent site wins Award

April 12th, 2005 saw one of our sites win the British Book Trade Award for 'Innovation in the Book Industry'. So we're patting ourselves (as well as our fabulous clients from Meet the Author) on the back.

Meet the Author, is a simple, yet brilliant idea. Clips of authors talking about their books are streamed through the site. The site is content managed allowing for easy updating by the Meet the Author Team, and the content is also provided to Amazon.

Even though we say so ourselves, the design is simple, effective and elegant - a bit like the idea itself. We've done some pretty nifty Search Engine Optimisation too which has seen Meet the Author's traffic increase over 2,000% in six months with no additional Pay-Per-Click activity.
