    Which one measure would most help your business survive a recession?

    From all the replies I have seen so far, people seem to be focusing on things over which they have little, or no control. What about focusing on something you have got full control of - i.e. driving down costs by making the business operation as efficient as possible. Cheers, Gary .

    Armbands Needed for VAT virgin!

    Kevin, I have a business consultancy company, and I also rent out property. At one time, the rented property was an asset of my company, so when I had a lot of improvements carried out, I simply reclaimed the VAT on all of the building materials. In a subsequent VAT visit, I was informed by...

    how to increase goole PR in the shortest time?

    I agree that good, keyword optimized content is one of the main keys to getting PR. However, there is now more and more evidence that structuring your site around themes also has a big impact. For example, if you had a blog about dogs, then it would probably be beneficial to have categories...

    Business Link approved SEO consultant

    Don't expect SEO results overnight, because it takes a bit of time for SEO to kick in - especially if your website is brand new. I think rather than hiring someone to 'do SEO' for you, a better (and cheaper) strategy would be to employ an SEO company to do some keyword research for you, and...

    How long to build one quality one way link?

    There are lots of link building strategies to pick from, and I personally think approaching webmasters to ask for a link isn't the best - it is very long-winded, and often unsuccessful. If you are interested in some free info on this subject, can I suggest you do a Google search for 30 Day...

    Business Cards Required...

    I have used eyecatchers . co . uk in the past, and I thought they were very good, and very competitively priced. What I liked most is that they produce plastic cards (like a credit card), so if you put something useful on the back like a calendar, there is more chance of your customer keeping...

    Can you really compete with ebay?

    A good Ebay strategy is to use it to build a prospect list. You then use an Autoresponder to continually market to these prospects overtime. This results in your marketing messages frequently being in front of your prospects without any competition (i.e. it is in their email inbox, rather than...

    Armbands Needed for VAT virgin!

    Just a quickie - don't assume that being VAT registered will allow you to claim back VAT on everything. Building work is a very grey and tricky area, because you can reclaim VAT on essential repairs, but you can't reclaim it on improvements. For example, if you find damp in your shop, and...

    Domain, the right choice?

    If you are into SEO, then having your main keyword in your title is a good idea. If you aren't really into SEO, then I would just go for something short and memorable - i.e. people who see one of your adverts once will be able to remember your url and type it directly into their browser...

    Best Way to get Known? Cheaply!

    I obviously don't know what keywords you are buying on Adwords, and I don't know where you direct someone who clicks on one of your ads, so I will have to assume that you send them to your home page. If you are doing this you will definitely pay a lot more for your clicks than you need to...
