    Google+ and SEO benefits question

    Thanks Uzair. I'm not monetizing my blog for the time being, although I may do in the future. To be honest I have found Google + really difficult to get to grips with - far less intuitive than any other social media network I use. I can't even figure out how to get to my page without going...

    Writing blogs and dealing with keywords, ideas?

    I'm no SEO expert but have been writing a blog for one of my businesses for the last 3 months and have to agree with zigojacko and others have said. I approached the blog with a view to writing entertaining and interesting material just for the fun of it, and the SEO benefits have followed as a...

    Google+ and SEO benefits question

    Thanks again UKSBD - I just tried using safari and although my videos and blog are all over the first two pages, the specific blog post through google + is nowhere to be seen. The result I saw using chrome (the browser I usually use) must have been a personalised result as you suggested. I'd...

    Google+ and SEO benefits question

    zigojacko - Thanks...makes sense. The ranking is really super-quick. I posted the blog this morning and was already on page 1 this afternoon. UKSD - interesting, I did not know that I may be seeing personalised results. How can I check?

    Google+ and SEO benefits question

    I recently started a blog for my yacht brokerage business. I mostly did it because I enjoy writing and have always been happy with the results that my social media initiatives have brought in this field. Every post I make automatically goes to twitter, facebook, linked'in, and google+. This...

    You too Merchant UK. I'm sitting here with my kids who are whooping me on Super Mario Kart... send them to bed later and enjoy a glass of port and a film. Buon Natale a Tutti!

    Three days ago? Looks we weren't told the whole story...

    legal help required

    Definitely get legal advice. It may well be that a letter from a lawyer will be sufficient to stop this guy from passing off as you.

    Have you got a cold yet?

    Garlic! If I get that heavy-headed feeling that accompanies the onset of a cold or the flu I break off a clove of garlic and eat it raw. It tastes vile (of course), but it has never failed to prevent me from being ill...or engaging anybody in conversation. The other great advice I can offer...

    Cold Calling is King

    AtmosBob - your comment about being the world's worst salesman just caught my eye. You're probably not if you got good results. The days of a "good salesman" being some guy with the gift of the gab who won't take "No" for an answer are long gone. Those people just irritate the hell out of...

    Cold Calling is King

    "Cold Calling is King of a small country" LOL! Very funny...but very true, I have to agree with you on that. Starting to cold call was a decision that I made because I needed to go back to basics. MokaBox is a very small company and we sometimes fall into the trap of employing tactics that are...

    Cold Calling is King

    A lot depends upon attitudes. In my other business I have a staffed office with a receptionist. I came downstairs once to hear the receptionist turning somebody away without even asking what they wanted. It turned out that they represented a company with an interesting product that was useful to...

    Cold Calling is King

    Vectis, in defence of the hard-working business owners of Chelmsford I have to say that mostly I am meeting front-desk staff. Usually I can get the information I want from them. On a couple of occasions I have been lucky enough to meet a decision maker just at the moment that they can spare me...
