No More Water Weekly
It is time to do away with the Water Weekly feature article we’ve been maintaining at WaterValue.com for the past 4 years. It has nothing to do with lack of popularity or interest. As a matter of fact, it’s one of our top ten visited pages every day, but it is no longer functioning the way it was intended.
Water Weekly started out as a way of answering the most often asked questions that we would get over the phone in an effort to cut down on the time we spend on the phone. After we started selling water treatment equipment online in 2002, it became obvious that we were answering the same questions over the phone all day, every day. I remember initially coming up with answers to frequently asked questions and posting them in the FAQ area. That page soon started to become too big for people to scroll through and look for their answers, so Water Weekly was started. Each week we would deal in depth with the most often asked questions from the previous week. Then each of these weekly articles would be archived so that users could look for the article that dealt with their particular question(s). Unfortunately, the archive page is getting way too large so another solution must be found.
Our first thought was to change the Water Weekly Archives page to a search-able index and work was started on that last month, but it dawned on me that we already have the database and software available for a search-able index. A search-able database for text is included with our web log software which is now installed on our server. Why not simply deal with the weekly questions on the blog? After all, we pretty much have been doing just that all along.
So our Water Value Daily News blog will double as answers to all of the popular questions, and when these answers pertain to certain products we have on the web site, we can even provide a direct link to those answers from that product’s information page. So Water Weekly is no more, but we will still be providing answers to your water treatment questions, it just won’t be in a weekly article anymore, it will most likely be daily.
