Ahem, will confess to trying this a few years ago, which is probably why I'm never let back in

Bunch of masons if you want my opinion

as I've got a few RBS shares, I wish him well Now get that price up!

I'm going to guess Chloe meant perform, but that seems a bit of an obvious statement?

"perform backlinking against your websites URL" as opposed to what? Backlinking to my URL? Obviously, very happy when people do

Sorry Chloe if we've missed the point?

Hiya Malok, long time no see

I like your logic and I might just give that a go!

Here's one that's got UK politicians and the media all worked up into a frenzy.

The CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland gets just under

Oh dear, celebs selling their souls.. why are we not surprised.

I like the bit about McDonalds:

"McDonald's tried to get customers to share happy stories about hamburgers on Twitter using the hashtag #McDstories. Instead, many hijacked the hashtag to tell less positive tales, or to pour scorn on the company's employment and animal welfare policies."

When marketing goes bad!! Hmm wonder if there is such a term as friendly fire marketing

What a great thread topic, and moved it over to the general biz discussion.

Likewise I've done both, starting from home, right to the point where there were 4 of us working at my house, at which point it was time to get an office!

I remember our Natwest account manager came out to visit us, and we were sat in my living room, not exactly professional, but got us started and was means to an end. I've since met up with plenty of small businesses who are either home based or started out there, and I don't think there's any stigma from working for home.

But I have to be honest, I can't imagine how I would look after one or both of my nippers all day and get any work done. I look after the youngest every Wed afternoon, and could prob get about an hours work done (assuming she sleeps!)

Looking at it with purely business non parental eyes, maybe the time saved not looking after nippers, but focusing on growing the business and generating more revenue, would easily pay for nursery costs.

Unless of course its a lifestyle business that's giving the best of both worlds, ie revenue and the chance to stay at home and look after kids, then fair play.

I do wonder though with these type of businesses what happens if they get to a tipping point, become too successful and turn into a normal growing business that will inevitably take up more time and resources? Sell up and enjoy the proceeds, or sacrifice the home life and get an office?
