    Finding a SEO Guru

    Too many people are obsessed with SEO (not directing this at you hotjoolz). Too many people believe the hype that being on page one will guarantee success. You survival/success depends on CONVERSIONS not being on 'top spot'. Why pay to be on page one, if your customer's will bounce right...

    Buying domains

    For .co.uk domains, use 123reg - cheap and pretty straight forward process. For .com/.org/.net use GoDaddy - they normally work out slightly cheaper because of the dollar conversion, but best of all, they always have deals like 30% off .com's etc. Just search for 'GoDaddy Coupon Codes'. But...

    Buying domains

    When buying/thinking of a domain name for business use, I alway's use the radio test. Imagine a customer hearing the words '...visit red car dot co dot uk'. When that customer is next sat at their computer and they recall your ad, what will they type? most likely redcar.co.uk. But if your ad...

    How to diagnose failing PC

    Having googled 'Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 win7 64 bsod' there seems to be many issues with this card. Have a look at some of the forum posts, and see if they were having similar issues to you, and any solutions they might of found. A few months back I had to uninstall a wireless card from my PC...

    How to diagnose failing PC

    If your problems are being caused by a software/os/driver issue, buying a new card could be an unneccessary expense. The same issue could cause a similar malfunction in the new card. You need to ensure its not a software related problem first. If you have drive imaging software (like Acronis)...

    How to keep your IT knowledge fresh?

    Totally understand what you're saying. If I was the above company, and you decided its something you're not able to do, but gave me details of another recommended company - you will have gained my TRUST. I always trust people who admit they can't do something, rather than blaggers.

    How to keep your IT knowledge fresh?

    Again, concentrate on an area which interests you and become a 'specialist' in that field. It's aking too much to know/learn about every latest development. Take Excel for example, one program, but how many people know every function/formula/macro? Even I can't look through a whole 'Excel...

    How to keep your IT knowledge fresh?

    A lot depends on what interests and motivates you. In any business, if you're in it just for the money, its harder to stay motivated (unless your making a killing!). If you do it because you love it, enjoy it etc you will naturally want to learn more, read more, find out what others are...

    Best wordpress hosting?

    Another thumbs-up for Vidahost. They use 'Softaculous'which is straight forward even if you have no web development experience. Its as easy as 1-2-3 to install and configure a WordPress site. The support is very good - even a simple/obvious question gets a professional and helpful response.

    How to diagnose failing PC

    Try to 'rollback' the driver, or download a 64bit driver from the official Nvidia site. Any 64bit OS is notorious for driver compatability issues - manufacturer's are still concentrating on the 32bit market (lot more users) and tend to modify existing 32bit drivers rather than creating new...

    Agency cost vs one man band.

    Its not always easy to determine an agency from a one-man-band. The 'agency' charging 3 times more than a 'one-man-band', could be a 'one-man-band' outsourcing the work and pocketing the difference.

    How to diagnose failing PC

    Maybe try looking for updated drivers, or use a spare card if you have one. If you started getting errors after installing thecard or updating driver's, then you can assume this is the cause. However, it doesn't explain why the gfx card works fine in Safe Mode, unless you have some other...

    How to diagnose failing PC

    Yes, its a software/driver/registry issue. Are you using 32bit or 64bit? 64bit can have problems with drivers which are 'ported' 32bit drivers. "There isn't a gfx port on the MOBO so I need to slot in a replacement gfx to isolate that possibility (until I checked I assumed that there would be...
