    Adwords question....

    Only one of your ads will show at the same time and it will usually be the one that makes Google the most money (gets clicked the most and/or has the highest bid). Creating 2 accounts to be listed in 2 places on the same search is against Google’s T’s & C’s, but they usually just join the...

    Heat Maps

    I use heat maps all the time. They are amazing for usability optimisation. I mostly use a free open source software called Click Heat (http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/index.html), because I like storing the data myself, but crazy egg is still very good.

    Marketing for my shop..

    Flyer drops only work well if they have an offer associated with them, like get 10% off with this flyer. Another thing which has worked wonderfully for various businesses is doing the drops on a Sunday. This may seem an odd thing to do, but if you do the drop on a Sunday the recipient will only...

    laptop problem

    If you have a newish dell, just call dell. Apparently they have a great tech team who try to figure out what’s wrong online and if they can’t find the problem they sometimes send an engineer to your home/work.

    latest google update

    I’ve seen various small movements, which appear to be for the better. But I believe Google has increased their punishment on duplicate content, as I have seen various other people with this issue suffer. So check for duplicate content, which could include: 1) www and no www in front of the...

    laptop problem

    This is definitely NOT an overheating problem, so don't waste your money on an extra fan. The blue screen is commonly known as the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Fortunately it is not always that dramatic. The most common reason for this type of fault is software and formatting and reinstalling...
