“Thank you for that advice...I keep seeing the Google Adwords thing cropping up but don't really get what it is.”

Adwords, the holy grail of online marketing (or some call the curse )

Basically its a Google owned advertising medium. When you look at any google search results, you normally see adverts running down the right hand side, and sometimes it's the first 3 results.

You sign up with Adwords, and you then decide what keyword you want to pay for, so any user that types it, in theory your advert will appear.

It's instant marketing, very powerful, and as long as you follow a few basic rules, (set a maximum low daily budget such as
“In general, I find that most Apple products are technologically inferior and far overpriced...”

You can't beat a bit of controversy, and I love it when someone swims against the tide. Good for you.

I was late to the smart phone revolution, and now have a business iPhone. It's taken a while, but I have come to find it invaluable, mainly as a personal organiser, contacts, and checking emails when out and about. The built in iPod is also great.

But as a physical phone, I think it's terrible, battery life is non existent and I got better reception and voice quality with a 1990's Nokia.

I don't think you can call it a "mobile phone", it's a hand held computer, with phone functionality.

But its a step up from the old days, where you had to carry your Nokia brick attached to your belt and a Palm Pilot in your pocket to synch with your Windows 3.11 and Lotus mail

Panda 3.3 is here 9th March 2012 10:10 PM
“Ah yes this hit my main KW's hard - didnt notice that some of FAQ's were being duped 3 times due to query strings!”

Yeah we got caught out with dup content relating to multiple categories, with the original Panda roll out last year. Impact wasn't too bad, and once fixed, we bounced back within 2 months.

Dunno about the social plug in, maybe raise it as a new thread, see if someone picks it up.

“Onlywire is a submission service I think I spend $13 a month on it”

Must admit, never come across it before, as you are getting results, may have to give it a go!
“Thank you Steve. Must wonder if they thought they were being incredibly smart by calling it The new iPad.”

Worked for the Labour Party Well for a while, now it's New Old Labour...

Sorry Bliss, quoting from your link:

"When the device goes on sale next week in the U.S. and several other countries, it will be 'the iPad' or perhaps 'the new iPad' - not 'iPad 3' or 'iPad HD,' as some had speculated...The lack of a new name may cause confusion for buyers, particularly since the older model, the 'iPad 2,' will still be sold."

“I would probably just send out a replacement item to the customer as soon as...”

Years ago, used to do a lot of ebaying. The number of times people will swear blind a package never turned up. Have no doubt some get "lost" in the post, but it got that daft I had to send everything recorded delivery.

Even then stuff "went missing". Then you have to contact the Post Office, who at that time said it takes 30 days for them to try and trace etc. Meanwhile you have a customer swearing blind they've received nothing, even though you're convinced they're pulling a fast one

Gave it up in the end, (well actually got banned, whoops) but I'm afraid you have to plan for the worst and don't rely on peoples good nature. (apart from here, obviously )
