Well if you read Google Webmaster Guideline, then making the site usable is indeed SEO.

@dreamraven madyworld is just a spammer

@kevin what model of Dell Lap top? - if it is running vista it is a couple of years old at least. Regretfully none of my Dell laptops have lasted more than 3 years before getting serious hardware faults of different types. So don't rule out wither a disc issue or motherboard issue. I have wasted many hours trying to save my laptops, but eventually to no avail.


edit: I missed that you said inspiron, so ignore my model question.

Put a new hard disc in, rebuild from scratch, if still doesn't work, put it in teh bin and don't waste any more time.

Just think how annoyed Google were that you spent thousands of pounds with organasition that have nothing to do with Google, when you should have been spending thousands advertising with Google. They missed out on lots of your money, and now they want it!

Free AdWords voucher anyone?

I think by this definition perhaps I stand by insanity.

An extremely valuable point, made by theflyerexpert but lost in the conversation, is before choosing a solution understand your business requirements.

The process is simple, but often forgotten and lost in 'design' and 'technology'.

If small businesses try and think more like big businesses they are less likely to be had over by poor webdesign companies, SEO companies and other snakeoil salesmen.

So the first question is what is your business requirements.

Functional requirement, technical requirements, design and vendor selection all come much further down the line.

Every business is different and will have different requirements for their online systems, some will just want a notional web presence, others will want to generate off line sales through online contacts, others may want to augment offline sales with online sales, others may want to great an online retail presence, others may want to streamline their distribution processes, others may want to manage appointments, others may want to cut the cost of their support staff........ the list is endless.

• Business Requirements.
• Functional & Non functional requirements.
• Solution Selection.
• Implementation partner selection (as to the OP, what do they want from a their webdesign company)

The requirements of the last on the list will depend on the the former, simply put, if for some reason the solution is required NOT to be open source, the webdesign companies selected would have to specialise in bespoke coding not open source implementation.

(Regarding SEO, there are actually many websites / online presences that don't want random traffic from Google )

The FA didn't like the fact that he USED racial language, which he admitted he did, thus guilty of misconduct.

The court could not PROVE the racial language was intended as an insult to Ferdinand, thus not guilty of racially motivated public disorder.

Two different 'charges' so two different outcomes, like being found guilty of speeding but not guilty of dangerous driving.

(I'm not defending any point of view, just stating the situation as I understand it)

My limited understanding of competition regulators is that they look to barriers to entry, rather than specifically market share. A few years ago I was involved in setting up a business to take on a UK near-monopoly. As it happened just after we started business our overseas parent companies merged

It would have been good generally for their to have been a competitor in that particular market (nothing to do with search engines), the argument was there was no barrier to entry as we had set the business up for something less than

You are all insane wanting to get links for SEO purposes, those days have gone. And doubly insane for thinking blog commenting will give you any backlink benefits.

It is valid to comment on blogs if you have something to add, and you may well get referral traffic.

For instance, I often visit blogs that have snippets of code, then when I implement that code and improve on it ( as is sometimes the case) I will blog comment thanking the author, pointing out the changes and linking to my blog. That gets real, relevant refrral traffic (not from a search engine, so isn't SEO).

But spamming blogs comments is just a waste of time, a year a go you might have got some temporary benefit, now you just run the risk of getting a bad backlink profile.

Is September 27th the Japanese equivalent of April 1st?
