    The problems with SEO companies & digital agencies

    Definitely, but KW research is part of SEO, that said the amount of SEO's who don't put the time into understanding the clients business and what actually makes them money is depressing. Genuinely spoke to a guy not long ago who had been with 6 agencies and nobody had ever asked him which of his...

    The problems with SEO companies & digital agencies

    This is true, but I'd say few and far between. (Keeping in mind I have actually done this). You also have to keep in mind that with this does come problems. I've watched well intentioned and capable guys overstretch this way.

    SEO is easy! So just do it..

    It's horses for courses really. I mean our bread and butter comes from huge brands spending huge amounts across multiple countries in highly competitive sectors. There's a certain time when it would be a lot riskier to employ in house to do that sort of thing as it's not like one man is enough...

    Clueless about PPC costs & providers

    Hi Jo, I sent you over a recommendation. Someone I've worked with in the past. Very small operation, but I know he's good when it comes to PPC. (But, kind of has to be a small operation when you're looking at the low end sort of budget). Hope that's helpful

    Clueless about PPC costs & providers

    1st one doesn't sound too ridiculous. I'd say the 2nd one sounds a little amateurish. Mostly agreeing with Chelios there.

    Looking for commission based salesmen

    I was actually told someone's had a bit of success looking for this on here. Long and short is, SEO/Web Design/Dev agency willing to give recurring commission for lifetime of sold contracts. Up for a few awards this year, and we've got a pretty impressive client roster with the likes of...

    Email marketing

    A lot depends on what sort of email marketing you're doing. It's not a one style for everything sort of deal. Are you looking at B2B or B2C? What's the demographic? What sort of data are you using? Are we talking news letters for CRM purposes, or bulk promotions to people who have no idea...

    Are email address taken from Ebay classed as solicited or unsolicited?

    They wouldn't be automatically flagged as spam, at least not by all email providers. But it's a lot more complicated than that. It comes down to IP's, email content etc as to whether or not you end up in the spam box. I don't know elastic email though. And as to what happens to your account...

    Magazine advert

    Generally had some quite bad experiences with "broader" targeted magazine advertising recently. Haven't done it in the adult sector mind for a LONG time. Can you let me know what sort of ad? Is it one of the little back page squares?

    Channel grabber and should I sell on amazon?

    As a marketing guy, I'd say that you should never cut off a channel before trying it. Unfortunately aquariums aren't something I've dealt with so I can't really tell you if being on Amazon will generate you a lot of sales. Added to which different niches have different success rates with these...
