    Looking for an excellent website developer

    Am using oDesk right now and it seems like quite a nifty tool. You get to deal direct with the end supplier (so no contracts or salesman), and you get to see independent test results and feedback on your supplier. oDesk also provide a whole bunch of management tools to track work progress and...

    How to set up a Classifieds Website??

    Depends on whether you're doing it to learn web technology or web business. If you're doing it to learn PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS etc, then sure, find an open source directory script, install and configure it - tweak it even and see how you go. If you're doing it to cut your teeth in web business...

    What are back links?

    I'm told link backs are a critical part of your SEO strategy, as link backs are "votes" for the importance of your page on a certain topic/keyphrase. Importantly, you need to consider what page on yoru website to link back to and what keywords you want to use in the text link to that page. For...

    Seo charges how much for position 1

    How about this - I'd be willing to pay an SEO consultant a % of gross sales revenues if they could consistently guarantee me clicks for my chosen keywords and I paid no money until I saw results.. ok maybe I'd pay a one-off "set-up" fee :) Cynical... yes... why? We've had so many SEO...

    New business startup..need feedback please.

    How much is too much to spend on FaceBook ads?

    Ok... but when we didn't put the price in the ad title, we got lots of clicks but a very poor (relative) customer conversion rate. So refraining from placing the price in the ad is sure to improve CTR... but it's costing us real $$ on people just "having a look". Of course FB, Google and the...

    New business startup..need feedback please.

    I agree... while i'm not in you're neck of the woods, here in Sydney this sort of thing has been done 1,000 times over. Do your research - talk to at least 50 local businesses. Find out what their real issues are and see if you can design something that fits their needs. I've not always been in...

    Insane Customers

    Not everyone's going to be like that. There's always going to be a minority that cause grief. I subscribe to the statement that you can't keep everyone happy all of the time. So lay down the law in a fair and equitable manner - those that repect what you do will not leave you, those that don't...

    Would this idea help promote my business?

    While my signature says i'm in the tailoring business, I also run a internet software business and have built directoris in the past. Your email idea could get a little out of hand as managing 1,000's of email accounts is something better done by a web hosting company. I'd talk to your...

    Business Cards

    IMO, leave off the MR. I'd only put a title in if you're a Dr. Simply use David Jones. Plus its the name of a higher-end retailer here in Australia :)

    How much is too much to spend on FaceBook ads?

    Thanks for the tips guys. If CTR is part of the problem, then that's probably due to the fact that we place our starting prcie in the ad headline. We place the price in the advert so that we get more targetted clicks i.e. we assume that ppl who are not put off by our starting price and click are...

    How much is too much to spend on FaceBook ads?

    A few months ago we started our FaceBook Ads campaign. Initially it seemed like good value when compared to Google PPC and we received a fair amount of traffic. We we’re initially bidding about $1.10 (within the range suggested by FB). But slowly the “suggested bid” increased and at one point...
