    riled: reg-123 automatically taken payment when I never agreed to such a thing

    No, not yet. As I said above: they're closed at the moment, not open until Monday, and that I intend to do exactly that. The question I asked was, what are my chances of getting my money back?, and from what you say there, quite possible it appears, so that's good, thanks.

    riled: reg-123 automatically taken payment when I never agreed to such a thing

    The web hosting company who also register domain names I usually use, they do not renew nor charge automatically (it may be an option but they don't by default) so the above statement is not correct. It seems you're defending and justifying this way of doing business; payment without...

    riled: reg-123 automatically taken payment when I never agreed to such a thing

    Hi, I've just been charged automatically today for the renewal of a domain name I registered with reg-123.co.uk two years ago. I never conciously agreed to any recurring payment. I've just spoken to PayPal, they tell me that according to Reg-123 I did authrorise this automatic payment. In my...

    Aren't the two concepts turn-key and bespoke contradictory?

    Art to electronic?

    Computers and quality just don't equate, equal each other, in any way. You need to forget computers completely (for a minute). Having done that, now consider the work. Just the work. Do you like it as is, or not? Do you want it changing (e.g. editing, redrawing)?; that is, do you want it...

    Extensionless URLs

    Making it case agnostic is definitely a good idea (I think you get that automatically anyway, at least on an Apache server) but I'd make the default/base/preferred version all lower case myself. People are used to lowercase in computer/internet addresses in general. Introducing uppercase is...

    Extensionless URLs

    If there's a one to one mapping between old and new urls then I don't think they'll be any penalisation at all so long as you make sure the appropriate redirect is used; the existing SE weighting will be simply carried over to the new page. I will admit I'm not absolutely 100% sure on that but...

    How do you find your targets wants and needs?

    For a tree surgeon? You must agree there's no point in a tree surgeon (the OP) spending resources to communicate with, in order to offer his services to, say, someone who lives in a high rise block of flats (who has no ownership of or responsibility over any trees)? If you agree with that...

    What would a marketer actually DO for us?

    No, I'm not telling you that at all :) In fact I said that was one of two possible options. Presumably some marketing people do choose exactly that. Others choose to offer their marketing skills to other companies. Two very different courses of actions, career options.

    What would a marketer actually DO for us?

    If you were a super duper marketing genius you'd need at least a semi good business idea to apply your marketing genius to. You could come up with this yourself or maybe your super duper marketing skills could be used to great effect for people who have already come up with at least a semi good...

    Human Visitors to Revenue Ratio

    My gut reaction to that is that the metric you're describing is a useless one, because there's many cases where people can visit your site but be in no logical possible position to buy from you, or/and with zero intention to do so. There could be a million of such visitors or none; either way it...

    How do you find your targets wants and needs?

    > What mediums/methods do i use? If you're already doing some work for people, while working for them, dealing with them face to face, this is the best research opportunity you have. You can either surreptitiously conduct research while chatting, that is just be really aware of them, listen...
