“...I have hundreds of search terms all placing differents parts of my sites on page 1 of Google and the others like Bing and Yahoo but you still get days when the phone is quiet...”

I know what you mean, some of our search terms get hardly any traffic...

We've got the top 3 Google spots for this key phrase, hardly gets any enquires though... Nuclear Decommissioning Lanarkshire

“What I expect to happen is that the big internet sites will fall in line, since their on the radar of the authorities, if they don't they risk being made an example of. but of course the government won't apply the same rationale and stringent rules to their own websites.

Of course there will be a large proportion of sites that simply ignore the legislation or don't even know about it !!!”

agree totally!

There will be a few sites that will be made an example of, and then the majority of websites will carry on as normal, as you say probably blissfully unaware.

Well after much head scratching, here's what we've rolled out.

Ok, so one for our UK peeps, but with Queens Jubilee approaching, it's worth remembering that yet another "public holiday" has been granted.

Always great when you are an employee, but it can be a real pain if you are running a business. Employers potentially could choose not to recognise this bank holiday. The Beeb has an interesting post on workers rights:
BBC News - Diamond Jubilee: Your rights to a day off work

So what does everyone else feel, good excuse for an extended holiday, or another disruption to the working week at your expense?
“...I just post pictures of my hand made gift bags or boxes with a link to my website and in 3 hours I had 150 visitors from USA and 12 emails about my goods.”

OK, so you just drove a coach and horses through my opinion lol

Glad to see it works for you and nice to hear how someone is successfully using it.

“This new regulation is a joke. I have seen a website with a solution to it but I am new and cannot post links just yet.”

If you want to see a site that has it rolled out, then look no further than the ICO site.

So is anyone else other than the UK getting impacted with this?

Somehow I can see Indian or Russian websites rolling this out...

Multiple telephone numbers 20th May 2012 8:32 PM
0843's and 0844's do get some flak, a lot of it undeserved, but the reality is, it's capped at a maximum of 5p per minute, unlike the higher 10p rate 0871's or premium rate numbers.

We've got a block of 100,000 numbers that we utilise, and we track the call volume. From what I can see, no one seems particularly fussed about calling 0843/0844 numbers.

The cards sounds like a good idea.
