    The Anatomy of a Typical UKBF Thread...

    Only been on the forum a few weeks, but have already got the gist of the standard thread structure ;). I've made a note to to mention SEO or social media advertising (which seems like a pretty sore subject)!

    Did anyone else experience slow trade today 10th Nov?

    Avoid taking any notice of the very short term and focus more on the trend (especially if you've only been in the game 4 weeks). Its easy to go from feeling like master of the universe to the village idiot in a short space of time otherwise.

    Hello Everybody,

    Hi Peter - welcome to UKBF. There are others far more qualified to answer your questions on this forum, but I imagine some of the companies / organisations you mention would put services like yours out to tender, so that would be one way to get in there?

    Candidates not turning up for interviews

    Who goes running part 2 !!

    Trying to get back into running (5 & 10k distance) after a bit of a break. Anyone recommend any upcoming events in the West Midlands? Preferably off road (and flat)! A while ago I did what was probably considered a 'fell running' event. The people who do those for fun are bonkers...

    Looking for feedback from trades-people

    I'm by no means an expert, but don't you need to consider the benefits for the buyers more than the sellers? Otherwise if your site is the same as others from a buyers point of view, then its just a case of who has the larger marketing budget?

    Not sure if its useful now, but I've seen so many 'pattern cutter' jobs on peopleperhour.com that I've considered learning it as a new skill! I don't work for PPH before anyone asks - I know I mention them quite a lot!

    Why Seo and Linkbuilding fails for most sites

    Is it not just a case of you get what you pay for? If you use the lower end providers, you're probably going to end up with rubbish. Whereas more reputable SEO firms that cost a lot more, are more likely to deliver?
