    What type of advertisement has brought most benefits to your business?

    Ad-hoc "joint venture" / synergy: make tactical or strategic alliances with other type of services (builders, planners, etc) and you can bump the market in joint forces. In my case [I mean in my family] it worked pretty much. Additionally try some viral stuff in Facebook - some eye catchy work...

    How do you use LinkedIn?

    Hello, I would not buy Ads on LinkedIn at first - however the target (audience) is out there: officers, owners, people working in offices... and they possibly have homes to clean, too. Anyhow with a well written "why is it important to keep the office clean" -ish article I would try to invade...

    301 redirect for SEO on WP - my question straddles so many forums I decided to ask here. Thanks.

    Hello Nina, perhaps would be a good idea to use file based verification from G: this case you put a Google generated file into the domain root directory (usually a html file). 301 is a server side action (.htaccess if the site runs on Linux/Apache) so the original site content "can not be seen"...

    What would yo do to get a website?

    Google search: Free templates, choose one that you like. Then find a student (even from a secondary school) who'll fill the content for you - think relatives, neighbours, etc. This is the cheapest solution - however this could be the most expensive on the long run: maybe the poor design /...

    False LinkedIn connection requests

    LinkedIn tries to "steal" your stored e-mail addresses and send the invitations out automatically. It is needed to click on an OK or similar somewhere - or leave a box unticked - but LinkedIn does not give a HUGE pop-up message box containing that "I'll download all your mail address book and...

    SEO Basics: Image Naming

    Just for the sake of it, here is a fresh example: One of our Client's site became number two due to image "Title" tag. Originally no one really understood what happened: in Webmaster Tools we've seen that the site is reported number 2-3 for a "keyword" that actually does not really important...
