Matt Cutts for a day! 1st April 2013 8:56 AM
This is one of those crackpot ideas from Terry Simmonds (UKSBD).

As fans of using structured data, Terry suggested we have some fun with the Google Authorship picture. So for one day only, we've all decided to change our Google+ pics to that of Matt Cutts, head of Googles AntiSpam Team.

The idea is that if you google. "Matt Cutts for a day" later on today, all 10 slots in the SERPs should show a photo of Matt Cutts next to it!

If you've no idea what we're on about, just humour us

Sad news Jessop 31st March 2013 1:56 PM
“Does this mean a brighter future for Jessops?”

I hope so, fingers crossed

Website looks the part, and it's nice to hear one of these brands come back from the dead, albeit in a revised much smaller state!
www.jessops.com

Nice touch from Peter Jones, he's identified the main crux of the hight street, people go touch and feel, then shop online for the cheapest deal, we're all guilty of it. But he says Jessops will be the cheapest camera wise and the on and offline price will be the same. Be interesting to see how many others follow (or can afford to follow) this model.

Well Angela, I was going to say Google it, but then if you do, this thread appears near the top. As does another forum you have asked the same question

So to provide an answer, and make the thread useful...

Forward Exchange Contracts
Via our old friend Wikipedia...
Forward contract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now what I want to know is, why do you want to know that? You ask a variety of questions and I'm intrigued to know what brought that one up?
Quicker Rankings Using YouTube? 31st March 2013 1:29 PM
“They got me page 1 rankings for my chosen keyword in less than 1 week which i'm not great with SEO but i thought i was astonishing. My video is still on the 1st page now and it's brought me a lot of business through the door. ”

I initially thought this was just a disguised sales pitch, but then I'm a natural cynic and suspicious of all things commercial SEO

It sounds great, even too good to be true, and we know how that saying pans out...

The website looks like your standard get rich quick template, but it's a proven conversion model so why not. Not familiar with Paul but have come across his partner before, Russell Brunson who has a lot of flak in the past for dubious methods, edu links etc. He seems to have a loyal following though, as well as ctritics, so guess you make your own mind up.

Only thing that makes me nervous is the obvious promotional blurb of getting to the top of Google and it makes it clear you are gaming the search engines. This is great for a short term fix, but like edu links and all the old quick routes before, they have little longevity in this new Google aggressive world.

If its working and you are getting results and a good return, then happy days. It would be nice if you could report back in 3, 6 and 12 months. If it's still working and there has been no adverse reaction (ie Google penalites), then this thread could become a good sales pitch for them Get yourself an affiliate id and you'll be quids in!

As for the kids pic and the cross bolt, no connection, just made me chuckle
“because after the penguin updations google says don't make too much hyperlink on keywords..If we'll not targeting keywords then how can i get good ranking on google...??”

I'm afraid the shortcuts and easy routes are disappearing, so why not do it the old fashioned way and concentrate on decent quality, and then let people link to you naturally...

“Can't believe that none of you know who owns that car reg?”

erm.... that's the whole point of the thread Hence why Barney said:
“...he's going to be late for his current employment tribunal...”

ie Stella his famously unhappy and sacked winning apprentice...

Right then, irony exit stage left....
