    why would someone redirect a domain to your site?

    I read on a number of webmaster forums that you can start a take-down process by filling the form in dmca.com/signup/. I don't know if it will work in any way. But this site steals your property - content, images, videos, so there should be a way to penalise it.

    why would someone redirect a domain to your site?

    I know a case when a 404 redirect is made from an overly-spammed/banned website to a competitor's domain. The negative links from the poor domain are sent to the good one, and you can guess what happens.

    Too much holiday

    On the legal part, I think the days the employee took over the allowed ones, should be charged from his salary. Newchodge's suggestion is exactly what you should do - give him a choice.

    Unemployment/Redundancy - Ever Considered Franchising?

    It sounds like a great idea. Is it locally-oriented or franchise opportunities are there for the whole of UK? Could you guide me to the platform. I am not quite familiar with this kind of platforms, but I guess there are other ones doing the same. The main thing for this platform to be a...

    Highly competitive employee sabotaging me after my promotion

    Get over it, stand up and be counted - if you were chosen for the promotion, then you are the right person. And the main thing no one seems to suggest - discuss the issue with the person directly. When you are having off-the-office hobbies and stuff - this is the time when you should take a more...

    Should I be concerned?

    Hello, Alan! I checked your website and I will try to help you with some suggestions. First of all, your website looks too much like a blog. Being wordpress based doesn't mean you cannot get it to look like a business website. Have some more pages, little bit more images (create some original...

    Wanting to start business at 16. Some advice please!

    The videography part leads me to an idea. If you have, or you are able to acquire some quality equipment, you can offer events filming services. Prepare some flyers, advertise in the paper and make a free website to be some kind of portfolio. Just a suggestion thought. Hope it helps, and good...

    What was your first car?

    The first I drove was a Peugeot 106 1.1, the first I bought was Vauxhall Astra G 1.6 (full extras, leather interior, pearl black), the one I loved the most so far was my Subaru Impreza 2.0 NA sedan with an STI look. I could talk about my cars all day long. Guys, go and get a Subaru, other cars...

    Window cleaning BUSINESS. Not self employment

    Being able to employ people for this kind of business demands you already have a regular customer base, or you plan to have some pretty effective marketing. I would go for contracts and a performance-based bonus system. You really need to take the factors Solar Steve said into account.

    Taking number from local news paper

    Even if it wasn't a problem, it still isn't worth the effort at all. In general, as many said above, the local paper is there for people who want to avoid letting agents.
