PostsDon't let your website get hacked says Matt 15th May 2012 3:06 PM “..but I am beginning to think I should treat this in the same way I would my PC updates.” That's what frightens me  You know 99% of those updates will work just fine, then boom, one will destroy your computer...Adwords good or bad? 15th May 2012 3:02 PM “Ok, I have played with google adwords for about 8 weeks now, at some cost I might add. Had some good traffic and high CTR's, but my question is: Do people feel that this method is cost effective or does it just underpin a poorly designed website by forcing traffic to you? Could I achieve simmilar results by "paying" a lump sum to an SEO? Just a thought” Bearing in mind you started this thread last year, any chance of an update? Did you carry on with Adwords, or did you go down the SEO route, or a mix of both? Google Apps fail 15th May 2012 2:58 PM I know Google docs in the past screwed up our word generated templates, so gave up on it pretty quickly.
