Have just heard back from both founders of the company, which is US based, and they have both expressed shock and sincerely apologised. They are investigating why this happened, but I think we all know this is just a case of cheap outsourcing.

Interesting though, it's not just site owners that have to worry about the effects of low grade SEO work on their web sites, it looks like bigger marketing companies and agencies need to start considering some of their outsourcing strategy Ethics and decency seemed to be sliding to an all time low in the name of cost cutting and getting things done on the cheap..

We've got 2 different adsense accounts, going to 2 different bank accounts, as they relate to different businesses, which is fine.

More likely he was doing something a bit untoward, or as you say using both pub ids on the same site

Can see both sides of this one, the Hotel is a business, has clear guidelines and is following them, but is trapped in an era before the internet.

The actual circumstances are sad, and the lady is obviously in grief, and has responded quickly whilst full of emotion. But in this age of the internet, reviews are the currency of hotel occupancy, and the hotel bearing the cost of a

We personalise with the business name in the subject or content, but steer clear of names, dear fred etc. In our sector, Frank might list a business for Nancy, who delegates emails to bob, so we just stick with the biz name.

Imagine in the future with a slick database and clever software, "hello Mary, hope you enjoyed your holiday last month, and is the dog feeling better?"

Maybe one day

Emails still seem to be down to the subject line though. I delete 90% of mine without opening, the subject tells me if its spam or unimportant. No doubt everyone else is the same.

and it would be nice if certain search engines stopped changing the rules every 5 minutes and made our lives easier and encourage more long term commitment

Normally we ban and delete low quality posts from SEO bods, especially when they pretend to be from the UK or US, but their IP is registered in India.

But the person posting under the name of "Wendy James" has reached in my mind a new all time low, in an attempt to deceit people, just for the sake of an attempted link dump or some SEO advantage.

Wendy James uploaded an avatar, supposedly of herself. Infact she/he grabbed the image off Google, and the image being used (which I have now removed) was that of a Canadian woman murdered in 2011. There was no argument or coincidence, the exact avatar image was taken from the multitude of news sites displaying the same image.

But I will email the company that "wendy" supposedly works for, which is based in the USA, and I'll await their reaction.

Unfortunately the blogger that reported it is a political columnist, who then asked her to retract her defamatory comments. After hearing nothing, he set up a poll for his readers asking if he should sue her

Unsurprisingly 86% (2,404 votes) were in favour of legal proceedings, so apparently he has.

I love this story.

Fantastic, way to go Rev Welby!

Now this is something the Church really could do to up it's profile and make it's mark as a focal point for the local community. A trusted and ethical credit union.

I've just emailed Rev Welby and asked him if the C of E would consider starting a search engine....

The Chancellor says the economy is on the mend, so we can all relax.

So we're eating out more and staying in hotels apparently. Probably all the people that had to be relocated because their social housing had too many bedrooms

At least it's positive news for once
