    Probably opening a can of worms here... but

    Yes sorry ..... actually maybe I am jumping the gun a wee bit here ... I might do a bit of a freshen up first.

    Probably opening a can of worms here... but

    Ok I have just about had enough of cold calling seo firms / adwords / etc etc etc and it's time to get some idea of what I really should be spending to get my site updated a wee bit. I know my website needs seo'd as I have slowly but surely slipped from 3rd or 4th position (even no.1 for a...

    Yellow Pages?

    I would doubt that many people look in yp for guitar shops. Far more likely to be google etc. Perhaps a small lineage ad would be OK but seriously doubt it would be worth spending £1000's. I was in YP for about 15 years and finally pulled out when they told me they were going to go to the...

    NEM Solutions

    Don't know if anyone has posted about this lot yet (had a quick search and saw nothing)... anyway it's usual spiel about getting you up on top of adwords without having to worry about how much you are paying per click. As soon as I get a call about anything like this the shutters generally come...

    EMS Media ... Anyone had any dealings?

    Amazing .... nobody has heard of them ! Well based on their sales pitch I would certainly advise against entertaining them, as the so called free mobile website's true costs were only revealed when I told them that I had been around long enough to know that there was no such thing as a free...

    EMS Media ... Anyone had any dealings?

    As per the title ... anyone? I am getting a call out of them about every two weeks if not more often over the last few months. I have politely declined their offer of a free mobile website (which is of course not really free at all). I am now getting to stage where I am finding it difficult to...

    localtraders.com .. any experience ?

    Sorry to hear of your experience, however it sounds more or less what I would expect to happen with this crowd and the many similar agencies that continue to call me at least two or three times a week. There must be a "day" when some data list is released as I always get a flurry of calls over...

    Free marketing? Any decent solutions...

    Try and get into every free directory listing you can find.(free) I take it you have website. Make sure it is effective .... (probably not free but worth spending a few quid on it) ....make sure you have good keywords etc etc. Get into Google Places (free). Get onto Bing (free). Know anybody...

    Facebook - Your Account Has Been Disabled

    Yup .... better believe it. There's all sorts of nasty *u*k*rs out there ! I think what actually happened was that I received a phishing email and wasn't paying attention ... hey presto ! they got my password !

    Facebook - Your Account Has Been Disabled

    He wasn't advertising. Most likely the same thing that happened to me. Somehow or other somebody managed to hijack my account and ran up about $500 worth of advertising for a flight simulator or something like that. Fortunately Facebook themselves noticed it and suspended the account...

    Yell.com

    Yes I know ... there I go pointing out the obvious - but if you were to listen to the guff that the reps come out with you might think YP was going to be around for ever ! They are still desperate to sell space on a book that is smaller (so small you can't actually read some the adverts) but...

    Yell.com

    I subscribe to "Locks & Security Magazine" and found quite a large article in the most recent addition titled "Locksmiths Forced to Re-consider Traditional Advertising as Yell Announces New Strategy". (Many of us were looking elsewhere anyway and we weren't being forced ! ) I had a look at...

    Outlook 2007 calender

    I used outlook 2010 and Google calendar for a while but all of a sudden Google calendar sync started giving me problems (as in not syncing). I appear not to be alone with loads of threads on it if you do a quick search. Don't get me wrong if you can get it to work it's great. As an alternative...

    Business Banking

    If you do a search you will find quite a few threads on Santander (and others). This is a recent thread http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=218060 . The bottom line is that if you go for free banking don't be too suprised if things don't always go to plan .... but at...
