“...So it could just be the result of miscommunication of lack of concrete reports etc....”
or sloppy journalism
Postsor sloppy journalism Article Marketing help 3rd December 2012 12:31 PM Key word wise, me persoanally, I'd: Concentrate on onpage SEO and quality content, logical titles, H1 structure etc. If you want to link build, then the key theme seems to be relevancy. Better to have a few highly relevant links than a mass of rubbish. Anchor text wise, keep it varied. A link profile these days has to appear natural (ish)  Vary your activities, maybe a couple of articles, guest blog, forums, relevant directories, social media. Keep it all above board and don't go for short cuts. Corporation Tax 3rd December 2012 12:19 PM Finally, someones doing something about it! Just got our corp tax bill  If vodaphones accountants are reading, can you pm me Affiliate Marketing. 3rd December 2012 11:29 AM Hello Angela You are asking lots of questions, one after the other, and I've merged 2 together here. This is a community, and you will get plenty of help, but it's also nice to contribute as well (not just quick "hellos"). You can do affiliate marketing on most websites, just be careful as too much affiliate and not enough genuine content will turn you in to a so called "thin content" site which Googles always on the look out for Interesting customer service infographic 3rd December 2012 10:31 AM “Last time I had a problem I used Twitter and they go back to me in barely a few hours, asked me the problem, fixed the problem, called back to tell me that it was fixed...” I must admit, thats a good tip in this social media world  I did the same with the previous hosters of this forum, they never responded to their phones, so I simply tweeted everytime there was an outage, telling them of my displeasure in public. Seemed to do the trick and got a quicker response And now for the good news! 3rd December 2012 10:27 AM Here's one from a happy plumber who won $1million on a scratch card... Long Island Plumber Wins $1 Million Lottery Jackpot “Although he has worked 12-hour days, seven days a week, to replace storm-ruined boilers, more customers are in need. "To see the smiles on their faces when I give them hot water and heat, it's like they won the million dollars,” Not all plumbers are grumpy Article Marketing help 3rd December 2012 9:59 AM Personally I think you have missed the boat. Aiming to get anchor text backlinks via articles is now old school, is frowned on in this new Penguin world and will be a lot of effort for little reward imho. If you do go down this route, keep all articles unique, aim for qulaity, don't spin content or duplicate. The end of two-for-one's? 29th November 2012 4:28 PM Great isn't it! A small section of society can't drink responsibly, so the rest of us suffer! Next they will put up the price of chips because if you eat too many, you might get fat! Nanny state......... Save local shops and businesses 29th November 2012 3:46 PM What a good idea! I wish I could say most of my shopping is with independents, and I keep on about using the local butchers more, but time is precious and the supermarket is convenient Biggest thing for us is parking. With 2 nippers and associated paraphernalia, it's either 30 mins paid parking in the town centre, or 4 hours free parking at the big retail park. We do have a park and ride, but it's the wrong side of town. But it is nice once in a while to walk in to town and have a mooch. Well at least that's what the missus tells me to say... Does anyone use Instant Messaging software within their business? 29th November 2012 2:01 PM Glad you're enjoying the forum Interesting question, I've got a different view point, I think Instant messaging can detract or be disruptive for business. Back in corporate land, we use to use a tool from IBM called sametime, which had all the employees in it's address book, and people would ping you constantly all day long! It was a nightmare, instead of people thinking for themselves, it's quicker and easier to "ping" you and ask you a question, you then get distracted from what you were doing. Even worse, you could "conference in" other people, and many time you find yourself bumped into a virtual meeting and thrown in at the deep end. A lot of these conversations were pointless and wouldn't have warranted a phone call. Working from home, I also used to use Microsoft Messenger , but same issue, getting pinged all day long, and you feel inclined to respond, where as you normally schedule time to respond to email. Even now, with Facebook, you logon and people start randomly pinging you, so I have switched it off. My idea of social media is I can pick and choose the conversations, and when and where to respond, as opposed to IM which I found disruptive and in my view lowers productivity. I could see the benefit of a lone worker/home worker feeling part of the team, but if they need to be constantly nattering in realtime, then they are probably better suited to working in an manned office? Or am I just been a grumpy dinosaur? If you wanted to try it as a free experiment, why not use something like MS Messenger, skype or god forbid Facebook |
