    A couple of general questions

    all the above, plus having a look at what competitors are doing - if there's money to be made, someone will pursue your kw actively and eventually get lucky.

    SEO For Forum Site

    There are several SEO mods available for phpBB as well, although from memory quite unpleasant to rollback if needed (the ones changing the URLs to SEO-friendly were a bit of a pain, but that was some time ago, convinced things got better); important for page titles/description and removing...

    We've sacked the agency

    I have to admit,reading this more for its entertaining value, but just out of curiosity - did your impressions change at all during this 3k effort, or did they follow the same trend with visits?

    Is this a ligitimate way of doing SEO?

    first question that comes to mind - is your own site/backlink footprint strong enough? unless they really do that at large scale (more than the 100 sites mentioned), I wonder how competitive the niche was in the first place if top positions are shaking their knees against such "strategy". a...

    How to choose SEO company

    my 2c, if you can afford the overhead - get a second company/consultant/expert to provide audit on your website every 4-6 weeks (backlinks footprint, website audit, on-page optimization). costs almost nothing compared to what you save if you start chasing the main provider with proper audits and...

    separate review site

    sure they blacklisted linkfarms, but they can only track public ones. a private farm can offer decent quality content and act more like a click/pr funnel, not just linkspam. slightly different approach.

    92% of businesses make less than £5,000 from online!

    £5k per month or per year? profit or revenue? I would not be surprised with ecomm businesses (small mom&pop shops) or ebay/amazon small players. We are definitely in that 8% regardless of how you cut it, but selling whitelabel services, not physical products (I don't like warehouses and...

    web site optimisation

    I checked your website and its presence in Google. You need a specialist in lead generation, not just ranking. We manage a few licensed locksmith websites in US and that is the hardest lead generation niche on the damn planet - just google "locksmith spam" if you don't know what I mean. But...

    Virtual Assistant - would you use one?

    I have used VAs and PAs for years. Since my online operations are quite complex and require 24h coverage, this has been the easiest way instead of paying extra for UK or IE employees to work unsocial hours. From my experience, I prefer to hire VAs through an outsourcing company - the main reason...

    Anyone here tried a whitelabel group-buy platform?

    Hello, everyone! I have been following closely the launch of Dell Swarm in UK (http://www.dellswarm.com/uk) - they tried this initially in Singapore in 2009, apparently it did not work too well, and now they're doing it in UK. It's just a way of running group-buys under your own brand (it looks...

    Updates and Laptop!

    can you try searching for the file named "pending.xml" ? did you try restoring the OS at any time in the past (that could change the OS path)? Here's the Microsoft Answers page about this (make sure it truly refers to your problem), maybe this helps...

    Best sites for free photos/clipart

    I can get you 2 weeks free membership to one of the stock photo websites, if interested. Was saving it for myself but did not get to it...

    Starting up a part time pc refurb and repair business.

    I would suggest you register on Google Maps and specify you coverage area clearly. One of my clients is a small data recovery shop in Ireland and they get 2-3 leads/week from Maps (that is great for Ireland, by the way). Also try to service some local businesses as well - tills are most of the...

    Speed up PC

    my 2c... I remove malware with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (MBAM) - you can download the free version from malwarebytes.org. If you decide to go for the paid version, which has scheduler, some fancy realtime protection and a bunch of other features, don't buy directly - get a 20% off coupon from...
