Well its certainly straining a bit to get to 100 - maybe should add:-

Plug in PC
Switch on PC
Connect to Internet
Check internet working
Double check internet working

Forums and seomoz are all great but it doesn't compare to actually hiring a top firm and seeing the results they can deliver.

I worked for a firm who took on a top SEO outfit and traffic + income doubled over 12 months covering their costs and hugely improving profit.

Its easy for instance to say build good quality links from reputable places - but quite another to actually do that yourself - where to start etc...

I use Discount Domains they are a smaller registrar but ICANN accredited - I've got their reseller account - not retail.

Service is good etc

The PC hardware market runs on very low profit margins these days - just a couple of percent - and its only likely to work if you have very big volumes and a strong brand.

As others have said I would recommend trying to patent your idea then approach an existing manufactorer to licence it out - you maybe need a prototype to demostrate. Even this I would use an agent for as the big players are tough negoiators.

It it really is in a client account then you should be able to request the bank holding it to release it you.

Do you know which one it is? If so write to them making the request.

If its not in a client account and you have written proof that they mislead you, then you can take action against the directors - problem is that they might also be bankrupt or have no money themselves in which case you are not going to see your money back anytime soon. Its also not going to be cheap to pursue a matter like this.

Well there is a lot of press about Greece but I actually think that the bigger problem is the US - its economy is running on borrowed money and there is very little sign of real attempts to reign it in - its also probably 1,000's of times the size of Greece.

That said - best thing is for Greece to go bust - like Argentina did in the 1980's get all the pain out of the way - bring their debts down to a manageable level and move on. All these attempts to lend them ever more and more is only going to prolong the problem.

Ahh but now you can select your market in webmaster tools so that should help - I do wonder what impact it has compared to just finding a site with a UK IP

Biggest obstacle I would have is persuading my wife to let me put my banners all over her car

I wonder if a service exists to pay for space on private cars - now thats an idea for a business in its self!

I must confess to having done a stint at telesales myself whilst at Uni - it was really tough going I stuck it for about 10-12 weeks then was glad to be back at college.

I always have a bit of guilt saying no when they call - but as others have said 99% is not needed.

Well it seems somehow to be nine and a bit rather than 10.

Consumers and humans in general are not sensible like machines LOL
