PostsAre you good at Sales? 28th January 2013 12:42 PM Class act, just sat through it 10/10  Love one of the comments "if all door to door salesmen were like this, I'd be broke" Con men claiming to working with Police to reduce crime 28th January 2013 12:14 PM “I have looked at the site, and I think I am a bit shocked if the police are working in cahoot with this people to flees unsuspecting vulnerable people. The Sharks have taken a different approach this time round.” Oh crikey, you've totally got the wrong end of the stick there Roxy  The Police in the UK get some rightly and wrongly bad press from time to time, but I can't imagine a British Bobby conning an old lady for an alarm scam!On a serious note, it is disgusting. I've had very elderly family members pressure sold in the past, and one recently was a double glazing outfit, which after much investigation was completely legal, if ethically unsound. How these "salesmen" sleep at night is beyond me. My Page 1 Google Rankings 25th January 2013 3:46 PM “Hi think they might have heard that MLF backlinks are quite good Steve.....my forum posts now rank no. 1 for a keyword that finally has got above moneysupermarket that held the no.1 spot for ages.” Hmm, missing a trick here! That reminds me Sandra, you have an outstanding invoice for erm keyword promotion  Opportunity to invest in online business 25th January 2013 3:42 PM “i AM CURIOUS. Now nearly a year on. Did anyone invest? Did anyone make any money? Was it a scam?” lol Nov 2012. A scam, that's harsh. A viable business opportunity we've all missed out on Out of interest though Daniel, for the small amount required, did you go to the bank? If so are you now all sorted, and when can we see the website? Social Media.... 'nuff said... 25th January 2013 3:06 PM My Page 1 Google Rankings 24th January 2013 4:43 PM Hi Daniel Moved you to a more relevant part of the forum and removed the back link to backlinks-master as I'm sure they don't need any more So even in this post Panda and Penguin world, using link generators like this still works ok? I thought these were the type of link Penguin updates was targeting? Do you lie to your kids? Obviously 24th January 2013 4:28 PM “I think the biggest lie starts just after child birth and everyone starts cooing "Oh isn't she / he a beautiful baby".... Really?” Trust me, only women think babies are beautiful To blokes they are noisy vomiting poo machines that all look the same... 7 Enemies Of Social Media Measurement 23rd January 2013 1:34 PM “Would anyone agree that B2C businesses are more likely to enjoy success from social media marketing campaigns? LinkedIn excluded.” I've yet to be blown away with commercial success from Social Media in a B2B world, but it's definitely improving, and traffic steadily grows from social media sources. Maybe we are another 3 - 4 years from B2B mainstream social media success, but B2C, although still dependant on the industry, I think has a lot of potential if done as a part of a co-ordinated marketing plan, ie in tandem with other marketing activities and not solely on SM. Pinterest - whose using it and what do you think? 23rd January 2013 1:25 PM “The only way I can find a way around this is in producing infographics to post on B2B services and products. But then I have to ask myself the question - who am I doing this for and who is likely to share it?” Interesting point. I've seen floods of infographics, normally the same ones posted again and again from the same users. But it's a good question, who am I doing it for, who is the target audience, which then answers the question, is it worth spending much time on In my case no, but I suppose once it's up and running, maybe it will send the odd referral, or dribble of traffic... Do you lie to your kids? Obviously 23rd January 2013 10:32 AM “Most parents tells lies to their children as a tactic to change their behaviour...Persuasion ranged from invoking the support of the tooth fairy to telling children they would go blind unless they ate particular vegetables... BBC News - Most parents 'lie to their children'” This did make me chuckle, although I thought the findings were typical 21st century Nanny State... “The study raises the longer-term issue of the impact on families of such opportunistic approaches to the truth. It suggests it could influence family relationships as children get older...” I tend to point to any passing stranger who automatically becomes the "won't sit in the car seat police", or "supermarket police" if we have a public meltdown, seems to work well. The fairy on the Xmas tree was a good one as well, who was really a covert spy for Santa that reported any misbehaviour, plus had to ring Santas call centre a few times via the speaking clock, and confirm with the Elf supervisor that behaviour was back to normal No doubt they'll get their own back by dumping me in an old folks home... |
but my girls really were / are still though lol.
