    Helping an old friend with an old PC...

    Thanks fellas. I'll have a look and see. Does the older ram state what it is in print on the ram itself? A newer system isn't an option ServWise, nor a new OS at this stage, but thanks.

    Helping an old friend with an old PC...

    I have a friend with a pentium 4, windows xp. It's slower than a parked car, but she uses it for email and YouTube only. Haven't had time to open it up and photograph the ram, but I'd guess there were a few DIMMs in there(?) which could be upgraded to peanuts on eBay (unless 10 year old ram is...

    Thanks for the insightful replies, much appreciated.

    Statistics? How many people buy using mobile/tablet

    Thank you for this. To confirm, are these stats based on browsers, or successful purchasers? Might I also ask what the product is, and whether the website is UK based with a UK clientele? Apologies for the Spanish inquisition, with thanks for your response.

    Statistics? How many people buy using mobile/tablet

    Does anyone, per chance, have statistics on sales made as a percentage, using mobile devices, including tablets and phones. In other words, I love to browse the web using a mobile device (phone) but I do not like shopping using one. I much rather prefer to shop using a desktop with full size...

    Help with captcha forms, nothing works(!)

    Yes. Amongst others. My developers have set this up on a number of sites, one of which I monitor, it lets in tonnes of crap. I wonder whether a custom made 2-question (multiple choice) drop down set of questions, would help. My theory is that popular captcha systems like recaptcha have had...

    Help with captcha forms, nothing works(!)

    Not yet found a captcha form ("enter the code in the box") which actually does a good job of preventing bots from sending spam through contact forms. Has anyone got any tried and tested recommendations to make, with a link perhaps? Its as frustrating for me, as it is for my clients. Thanks chaps.

    Do Follow Back Links

    Another vote for SEO Spyglass. It does nothing to help SEO, but gives you the most deep and insightful reports on your competitors, who links to them, using what anchor text, from PR? sites and PR? pages (where ? is specified in the report), domain age, page age, number of other outbound links...

    Looking to hire an SEO

    I'll wait till the thread has run its course, and then make some calls when I have a free afternoon (which might be July 2014) :D Thanks for the recommendation.

    Looking to hire an SEO

    Im looking for SEO help, on an ongoing basis. Perhaps a little social media stuff (not important) - The main area of help required is link building. Id like someone who understands panda, isnt a risk taker, is happy to show me what they have done and explain why they did it (perhaps teaching...

    How do I find out who DID own a domain name...

    I would have thought that any details which were made public at the time the domain was live, would be a matter of public record, thereby not infringing data protection regulations. Very interesting. By the looks of it, without paying, there is no free and reliable whois search for expired...

    Best platform for e-marketing?

    We can go years without a client making an enquiry about emarketing solutions - generally we build into their CMS functionality which lets customers email their (usually small) client base directly from the back end of their website. With our own (not cheap) dedicated server, Id be hesitant to...

    The law on returning deposits

    Can anyone confirm that, if in small claims, no legal costs may be sought from either party. I thought that a case had to go to crown(?) court and/or be over £5k, in order for parties to be liable for each others legal fees... otherwise everyone in the UK would use solicitors all the time...

    How do I find out who DID own a domain name...

    How do I go about looking up who did own a domain name, ideally without another registration and subscription fee. ie, who owned it, when, where it was hosted, who was responsible for renewals, and so on. Can anyone shed any investigative light? :)
