I’ve been building things on the internet since 2004. Some of them even worked.
I’m a PHP developer, niche site builder, and SEO tool maker based in Rochester, Kent. This is where I share what I’ve learned: the stuff that works, the stuff that didn’t, and the occasional opinion that nobody asked for.
What You’ll Find Here
Niche & Affiliate Sites
I’ve been building and running niche affiliate sites for years, picking topics, building content silos, and working out what actually converts. If you’re trying to build a site portfolio without wasting six months on the wrong niche, this is the section for you.
SEO Tools & Keyword Research
I’ve built my own keyword research tools, including PhraseFoundry. So when I write about keyword research, I’m writing from the inside out, not summarising what someone else said on a marketing blog.
Vibe Coding
I’ve been writing PHP and WordPress code for years, so when I sit down with an AI and describe what I want built, I know whether what comes back actually works. I write about that workflow here: what it’s good for, where it falls short, and how to get useful output rather than plausible-looking nonsense.
Rochester & Personal
I live in Rochester, Kent, one of those towns that’s genuinely interesting once you dig into it. I also write honest reviews of local businesses and the occasional personal piece when something’s worth saying.
About Glenn
I spent 14 years as a Senior Laboratory Technician and another decade as a Senior ICT Support Engineer before redundancy in 2004 pushed me into working for myself, the best thing that ever happened to me, most days. Since then, I’ve built six software products, run a portfolio of niche affiliate sites with my wife, Teresa, and built keyword research tools that I actually use on every project. I’m based in Rochester, Kent.
Tools & Projects
PhraseFoundry.com
An online keyword research and phrase generation toolset, with more tools in development. What’s there works, and there’s plenty more to come. I built it because I needed it, which is usually the best reason to build anything.
