Even now the stores are all closed, the website is still saying the same thing.

Yeah i tracked this recently with our tools – Woolworths has taken a massive drop in Google – obviously with no content up they are going to take a dive, but they have so many good links etc.

Check out their demise – click on my name “SEO Tools”

The reason the site was pulled was that suppliers actually advertise on their site, this created the “Big Red Book” instore, and was not stocked at there distribution centres but sent direct from suppliers.

Suppliers have had there credit bond pulled which means anything they buy has to be paid for by cash, which they don’t have now that they are in administration.

As for advertising on TV this unfortunatley is something they have already paid for and in most cases they have sponsored a programme. That programme is legally bond to show there advertising.

I have an outstanding query with my account, and they have e-mailed me to say I have a reply on my account page. However, because the website has been down sicne Friday (at least), I can’t find out what the reply says. Arrrrrgggggghhhhh!

It’s ironic that they supply wholesale to the very companies that have taken their market (Tesco’s, etc). Hoist by their own petard!

Wow. That’s bad & I feel sorry for their employees. I reckon Rob Lewis is right – their host has most likely pulled the plug.
