    domain name

    Not quite true as far as I can recall. The arguement was about using dashed or underscores. Not about it in general. Out of my personal experience allinone domains fare much better than all-in-dashes domains. I also would always go for the .co.uk version of a domain when the targeted audience...

    Press release distribution

    PR Fire is one of the less costly alternatives (if you only post one PR a month) to emailwire but they do not distribute the articles to even half as many sources as emailwire does and as such you get less views and traffic. At least that's my experience with it.

    Press release distribution

    I have too few posts to post a link but google emailwire. Our company uses them to submit press releases. Emailwire has the advantage that with every press relaese you submit this will also ranked in google news. That way when you put in several links to your website you get a lot of traffic...

    Geographical target - webmaster tools

    Is your domain a .co.uk? Is it hosted on a UK server? Have you submitted KML maps? That's all to be considered before we can give you a definite answer. Generally if your domain is a .co.uk and hosted in the UK it will not do any difference for your rankings whether you set it to UK or not...

    Using Youtube for business promotion?

    We have used videos a lot for clients of us. What we do with the video apart from distributing it over twitter facebook and the usual means is ranking it in google. This way the companies have more than just 1 or 2 spaces on the front page of google and hence get even more traffic and clients.

    marketing ideas for a new tile retailer

    Hm 100£ / month really is no big budget. I personally would have believed that PPC would be perfect for your business as it is a small niche.

    SEO sought

    Those tools are all good and well but in my opinion they won't' get you anywhere close to a number 1 ranking. Some of the information displayed in them is already aged and out of date as well. I know I am a newcomer on this forum and as such should probably not advertise my own services just...

    Sales Sales Sales-Thats where the money is?

    Don't feel frightened. As a offline consultant I spent many hours with business owners and believe me I know some that are making a very decent amount every month and never even finished high school.

    Sales Sales Sales-Thats where the money is?

    When we started out as a SEO Company in Germany we had the same problems as you. How to generate sales? What we found was that word of mouth was the biggest sales driver in our industry. Yes of course we ranked ourselves for seo related keywords but by doing that we could only reach a small...

    marketing ideas for a new tile retailer

    What are you doing so far? What kind of range of budget are we talking about? What is small to some is big to others. Some people thing £200 / month is small others go with £500 being small. Are you doing PPC? Have you hired a SEO ?

    Advertising and marketing for online business

    Hey, If I was you I would first get a custom Facebook Fan Page made. The best is when on this Fanpage you don't just show pictures of some of your current art pieces but if you would actually put all art pieces including their prices on there. With the FBML's you can create great picture...
