Frustrating and pointless website
I was looking for a mug manufacturer the other day, a manufacturer mind you, not a reseller, not a distributor. So I entered in my search criteria of “earthenware mug manufacturer” and up popped the list. The first one listed after the sponsored links was this useless site which quite amazingly does not contain a contact number, email address or form across the entire site.
What a waste of time.

Indeed, - you could find that it’s a ‘plain’ website produced by a manufacturer for distributors to link to as a ’showcase’ site.
Your blog is now ranking 2nd on google for ‘earthenware mug manufacturer’….such is search

That - kind of makes sense, in terms of a destination… but it doesn’t in terms of “right I found you, now what do I do…”
If it is the case that it’s a plain site, surely it needs confirmation of it’s purpose, or some sort of enquiry form that could be distributed accordingly.
Alternatively, if attracting visitors is not the purpose - you robots the site out of the search engines.
Seems like someone is losing out somewhere - Users: as in this original post, and the manufacturers, for dismissing sales leads.
