Oh I'd put money on it that you will

But can be useful, and like you said experience it for yourself and see what you think.

Then you can report back with your findings

should have bought some Lloyds, was back up to 30p this morning

The age old question and plenty of threads on this topic, albeit some are a bit old now.

This is always a good place to start:
Marketing for complete Noobs

SEO 101 for laymen and newbies

Website Traffic

From an uninformed layman point of view, I'd say the purpose is punishment. If the penalty is deemed high enough then wouldn't this act as a deterrent to reduce initial offending rather than re-offending?

Although harsh and probably barbaric to us Westerners, while I was in Saudi years ago, crime seemed minimal and you wouldn't worry about locking your car.

I'm sure a lot of opportunist thief's would think twice if getting caught meant a trip to chop chop square and losing a hand

The media tells us prisons are full to capacity and everyone sits there watching TV, playing xbox and having a good time.

I doubt it's really like that, but I'd like to think the hooligans that recently burgled my disabled grandmother will be punished, preferably horse whipped, which would probably make them think twice about doing it again...

Don't forget the humble forum as well, although often overlooked in the context of social networking, you can be assured there will be a local and regional forum for just about every conceivable business niche.

We're assuming that the youngest is inevitably going to catch it, so interesting that only one of yours had it, maybe we'll be lucky as well!! Yup she's swimming in lotion and lapping up the attention "I'm poorly"

At least I can work from home, although it means I have to make my own coffee Can't expect Clive to deliver lol

Well just back from a nice break in the Scottish Highlands, and amazingly had nothing but sunshine!

Now back to reality, English summer rain and daughter number 1 has Chicken Pox

Well, old Queenie is having a knees up and given her loyal subjects a day off in the UK.

Does that mean Oz and Canada get a day off as well? The advantages of not becoming a republic

So any street parties planned? Does anyone actually care outside of the UK?

Seen plenty of Union flags locally, so at least there's still plenty of Royalists in Warwickshire

Starting a forum is easy, there are plenty of freebie forum software sites, or you can pay for something like this one, which uses vBulletin software.

Establishing a forum.... the million dollar question

Personally I wouldn't class this one as established, more fledging with some great members and a lot of anonymous visitors.

Sites like V7, UKBF Digital Point etc are established, with a huge following.

If you have lots of spare hours in your day, are happy to combat against Johnny spammers who are intent on dumping web links all over your site, and spend the first 6 months pretty much talking to yourself, then go for it!

Why not find an established gift forum, and become known as the go to gift person, rather than the pain of running your own forum?

Each click! So becareful with that budget and analyze your results like a hawk

But name of the game is conversions. If you are getting no conversions, then paying for clicks is just a waste of money.
