    help?? TT payment to china from UK?

    If your business account is with HSBC you can do it online. Natwest used to require me to go into the branch, which is why I moved away from them. Now use Western Union Global Pay to get a better exchange rate.

    Yahoo paid directory help.!

    I have a couple of sites listed and will continue to do so even though two of the three links for each site will disapear next month when the UK and Ireland directory close. Not a magic bullet by any means, but worth it if you have the budget in my opinion.

    Debt Management TLD Seo experiment

    Interesting experiment. Would also like to see the results on less competitive terms as I can't see your site reaching page 1 regardless of the TLD.

    Problems with website designer

    In that case they need a kick up the arse. Taken from their homepage: "We aren't saying our web designs and techniques are future proof but what we do offer our customers is fresh design, quality website builds, great client care and hosting stability, after all what's the point having a great...

    Problems with website designer

    Taking 3 days to fix the basket is unacceptable in my opinion (unless it was over the weekend). Adding a twitter button is obviously not urgent, but as you say they could have done it quickly as it isn't a big job. The basket seems to work ok now but I would change the 'submit' button text...

    Improving my organic results

    Maybe you should look at how some of these companies ranking for 'SEO'. Several are adding pages and links to clients sites with no other reason than to promote their own.
