    How many people here self-taught SEO?

    I'm self taught, and like most people above, learned (and am still learning!) from a combination of sites, forums and books. Although I think it does depend on your learning style as to what is best for you. Some people find it easier to have someone explain the basics to them so they can ask...

    The Meerkat v The Italian Tenor ... Who Is Winning The Battle?

    meerkat meerkat meerkat! I actually can't stand the tenor so much that I put the tv on mute every time that advert comes on - I've never done that with any other advert before!

    Google and the invisible links

    Google have been testing a number of different 'fade in' homepages over the past few weeks, and apparently have now chosen a design and are sticking to it! So welcome to the new look Google. :)

    Fasthosts - email down again? (23.11.09 1pm)

    Well they were the ones that told me to cancel my credit card! haha so not really sure, but I have the phone conversation recorded on my phone in case they bring that in to dispute further down the line. I have however now left the company that this contract was for, so I'm unsure as to...

    Fasthosts - email down again? (23.11.09 1pm)

    Well originally we just signed up for domain registration and hosting - but for some reason I kept getting other charges and they wouldn't tell me what they were for! I had upwards of 6 charges a month on my statement, and they would only account for which were the registration and hosting...

    Fasthosts - email down again? (23.11.09 1pm)

    I tried to get out of a contract with them.... apparently it wasn't possible. In the end they were taking so much money from my account that I had to cancel my card! (note that they told me this was the only way to cancel my account!) I would not recommend them, and will not use them again...

    Courier to Europe - Urgent!

    It's 2 flight cases of equipment - and it's time sensitivity that's the issue. Hand carrying 2 flight cases wouldn't be much fun I don't think!

    Vista Vs Windows..?

    Haha you know I used to be totally against Macs?! Hate hate hated the thought of them.... mind you at home I'm still happy on my laptop, and that's running on vista and a slow broadband connection!

    Courier to Europe - Urgent!

    I was just wondering which ones people had had the best experience with. It is really time sensitive so one that never fails to deliver on time would be fab! I've had issues with DHL just in the UK before, but no idea what their international service is like...

    Vista Vs Windows..?

    I'm an Apple convert, prefer my Mac sooo much more than my old PC, thanks to my new job for converting me and making my life so much quicker!:D But I've played with Windows 7, it's alright, nothing special, but works ok.

    Interactive website information.

    you'll need a lot more detail than that to even get a very rough estimate, let alone a quote! Think about how big the site will be, is it eCommerce, what features do you want... the more detail the more accurate the quote will be :)

    Courier to Europe - Urgent!

    Hi all I really need some help here. What is a good company to use to transport 2 flight cases of camera equipment to Rome? I need it to arrive Weds 9th at 9am, and has to leave our offices in London as late as possible on the Tuesday. Any suggestions much appreciated!

    Google ads, Gumtree, display network ads?

    In regards to Gumtree I would stick with the free posting option - that way you have nothing to use! Plus people who are looking specifically for your service will find it. Spotlight ads are ok, but I don't know many people who scroll across them in all honesty. You could always get your listing...

    Arcedia Group

    Oh yeah, and the staff turnover is so high - keep an eye on the job adverts. If the receptionist name keeps changing then most likely it's one of these companies! And so so true about the comission only question - as a previous receptionist for LMS (and it seriously shames me to say that!) we...

    Arcedia Group

    I used to work for PerDM which is the same thing. Commission only sales role. I was involved with recruitment and can say from the office side that these companies are the least ethical companies you will ever come across (n.b. I quit because I felt so guilty that I was actually recruiting...
