    SEO Rip-Off?

    Sorry but SEO does equal turnover and profit for quite a few people. Being number one for a buying phrase can be very lucrative.

    Independent review site for my private customers

    I'd do this to see how it works and have very recently started doing the same thing for a biz. Can't see anything wrong with this. Get yourself some nice unique, free copy for your site as well.

    Would This Be An Enticing Offer

    I'd go with a free appliance Massey, personally I'd have thought more people would be interested in a new cooker or whatever to go with a new kitchen than a boiler. You could always offer to do the boiler for a small extra charge if they needed/wanted one. You don't lose too much then either.

    SEMRush might be able to help you?

    Has Private Messaging been abused or hacked?

    Your name is in your public profile, he probably just took it from there.

    Successes with Google Shopping (Adwords)?

    It works for us, but if you'd like my 2p I'd recommend you have someone set it up who knows what they're doing. I did it myself to start with and I thought I'd done a reasonable job but it didn't really pay. I had it done by a ppc chap and the roi improved quite a bit. I'm sure that there are...

    Google shopping changes

    Don't forget that's an advertorial for ClickConsult, it isn't actually news. Can't personally see them stopping advertising with Adwords/Shopping, it's not in their interest to level the field! Edit: The switch over to paid ads referenced in the article happened in Feb/March this year I think.

    Electricians - office lighting building regs

    Exactly, that's why I clarified it :) Although yours is a also a sweeping statement saying it the standard will be poorer and could take longer etc. As you say, any conscientious sparks should be able to find out the answer for him and help. Find it quite amazing 2 different sparks can't...

    Electricians - office lighting building regs

    Nothing to do with you, if it's their trade they should be able to find out easily enough. It isn't fair to expect everyone to know every detail off the top of their head but they should find out. Sorry I'm no where near you, otherwise I'd recommend you someone!

    Electricians - office lighting building regs

    Really?? Where are you based? We've used two different electrical contractors, both of different sizes and both of them have fitted LED's into offices for us no problem, and designed the lighting to make sure it's all up to spec as well. If you're speaking to one man band electrician might...

    Electricians - office lighting building regs

    Sorry if this is a daft question, but can't your electrician tell you if they'll be okay? I'd have thought any reasonably up to date sparks should be able to tell you.

    Trustpilot

    I use Trustpilot on a site and to be perfectly honest it's a really good little system but I don't think I'll be renewing it. I'm going to try out getting our own reviews in for a bit because it's cheaper and the end results are going to be exactly the same.

    What price for long tail keywords

    I can think of a similar sounding tool that starts its charging at about 10 dollars a month and goes up to about 80 a month I think (I think the lowest rate doesn't offer all of the functionality of the next level up and then after that it's based on monthly visitors). If I were you I'd go...

    Do Adwords PPC actually ever pay?

    SMO My first attempt at a campaign was in a similar vein to yours in that it ended up being quite expensive and being a bit hit and miss as to whether it showed a return or not. I ended up speaking to and using Andy Baker from these forums who turned it all around and ever since then it's been...
