If your reading this thread, you've found the internet!

And as much as it pains me to admit it, as a directory owner, plenty of people still use offline book type directories. If you've water pouring through the ceiling, shorting out your electrics, bet you'll head for the big book to find a plumber.

Online marketing has simply reduced the cost and made advertising and exposure more affordable to a lot more businesses, but at the same time, the quality of a lot of online advertising leaves a lot to be desired.

So unfortunately, a downside of the internet is an almost endless choice of marketing options, leaving a small business owner the job of picking their way through a multitude of offers, the genuine, the dubious, and the blatant scams

Maybe the old days of the Yellow Pages will be looked at when life was a lot simpler?

lol, old John Major has just gone up in my estimation!

I thought he was a damp squid who was handed a poisoned chalice when he took over. Obviously not! He was doing some shrewd financial planning for the future. Must have wet himself laughing when he slipped that one through the commons

So if the tax payer is shelling out all this money, does that mean that they are now paying for their ongoing security, close protection officers etc?

Maybe a blip, Google has multitudes of datacentres that get updated at different times. Sometimes see results act weird once in a while, I wouldn't worry

Back in 2005, thought it was a quirky cool idea and nearly implemented it.

6 years on, done to death and really annoying

You'd be better having a you tube video of you, telling us about your old boiler, which you could do yourself, and have it embedded in to your site, rather than some slick stock animation or unbelievable looking corporatey person babbling on. I just think they look fake.

So I know Barneys having a flutter:

Oh yes, 50p in May, (or sooner would be nice!)

RBS, Lloyds and in fact most banking stock has been a roller coaster ride since late 2008, enabling us little people to get involved after the crash of the markets.

The last 60 days have seen RBS and Lloyds swinging backwards and forwards, enabling easy 10% gains, this morning has seen more than a 7% increase since yesterday, as the markets cling for the slightest bit of good news.

So are there any more wannabe Gecko's out there? Or are the markets seen as too risky?

All sounds so familiar! By the time you take into account the overhead, man management, stress, governments slice of the pie, you suddenly realize PPC is so much easier

Hope your in better health now!

Right then, I've had some t-shirts made up...

Guess it depends if you are talking about a personal blog, or a commercial site that is your bread and butter.

The recent Google Panda updates have seen large sites with dubious history catching up with them, these days it's all about quality.

Quick fixes may work for a while, but big G will slap you with a penalty sooner or later, so if you're a commercial site, then IMO its not worth the risk.

Just checked our analytic's and traffic patterns are the same for the week before and after, so didn't notice anything.

Anyone else see anything?
