    Quick basic question on VAT

    Ah ok, my mistake, makes sense thanks! I'm just trying to keep the example simple so you can assume that we do not claim any VAT back on expenses. Thanks for the help, I understand that better now.

    Quick basic question on VAT

    I just want to 100% make sure I understand this properly, if our company: £100k revenue £40k expenses And assume a VAT rate of 20% and a corporate tax rate of 21%: Our VAT bill would be £20,000 Our profit would then be £40,000 (£100k - £40k - £20k) We are then corporation taxed 21% of the...

    Reported for spamming?

    Steve, sadly that's all of what 99% of SEO 'experts' seem to do. And fools keep giving them money to do it. For some reason email spam is seen as an evil, yet website spam is seen as an intelligent super secret that I'm meant to pay some goon to do often for a lot of money. The worst sort are...

    H1, H2 Tags?

    I don't think you should generally match page title and H1. Try to create variation. H1 is very important, but only have one per page. They should form a hierarchy of importance. H2, H3 etc can have more than one.

    Reported for spamming?

    How about not spamming other peoples websites. It's a poor way to operate. I get tired and frustrated cleaning this sort of **** off my website all the time. Please stop doing it.

    Welcome to SEO. Most of these SEO companies are junk that spam peoples websites. When paying for SEO, make sure they aren't pomped up spam outfits and you understand what you are paying for.

    To clear up ambiguity I believe you should VAT register when you turnover £7x,xxx, not make which could be interpreted as profit.

    Copyright

    We had an artist draw a picture for us for our website. The picture features half a dozen characters that he has created. The artist owns the copyright on that picture, and he lives/works in South America. Now if we wanted to make soft toys (completely different media) based on the characters...

    Shopping logo accidentally left on website

    Who was the developer who made this mistake? If an external company/contractor did the work then perhaps responsibility might be with them?

    Agrressive promotion

    We have a UK web host who's physical servers and network location is firmly and solely inside the UK. We're going to run the promotion, for obvious reasons I can't link to it but if people are interested I'm happy to give a review of the promotion after it's been run.

    Agrressive promotion

    Because their customer base we perceive as being at a very low point as some of them may feel they have been let down in a big way. We're having a small trickle of users moving over to us but we want to make ourselves better known in the customer base of the competitor and hope this promotion...

    Agrressive promotion

    That's an excellent point (didn't even think of that!) but we're protected from that as the competitors product costs 15x more than ours.

    Agrressive promotion

    It's going to be run as a limited supply campaign to penetrate into a market that isn't aware of us. We could lose out on future sales of course but we think it's a calculated risk.

    Agrressive promotion

    Yes that's the promotion we want to run. If you email us proof of purchase of the competitors product we email them back a free license for our software.
