    Independent UK Business Directories

    Sadly Google introduced a filter called Penguin which meant that links of this kind are now are very low value and may even drag your site down if you have too many of them. Gone are the good old days pre 2010 when you get great results from listing in 100's of those "list of links" types of sites.

    According to the rowntree foundation you need to save 12% of all earnings at age 25, and then higher %'s as your starting age rises. With that in mind try and contribute as much as you can so you get a decent pension rather than focussing on the tax saving aspect.

    Where is £55m in Value in the Debenham's Brand?

    The brand is very well known and I am sure their website had millions of visitors, its just their shops were too expensive compared to their level of sales. Ecommerce sites have low costs and Boohoo already has the infrastructure it needs to "bolt on" Debenhams, looks like a great deal for me.
