Just been prompted to upload a new larger profile picture...

Holy moly, have you seen how big you can make it now!!!

Is it me or has Google+ just been hacked by Facebook?

Have moved you over to the SEO forum

When you say retailors, are you talking about bricks and mortar shops with websites who are competing with online only retailers?

I would have thought SEO would be critical to online only shops, and would be part of their marketing strategy and plan. But I would imagine a lot of smaller primarily offline retailers are still struggling to make an impact online. Especially if there is no inhouse expertise or experience.

A well thought out online retailer, with a marketing budget must make good use of SEO and SEM otherwise you'd assume they'd fold. Unless it's a 5 minute 1&1 instant website hobby site

This isn't fair!! All I get is idiot SEO email spam...

Where's my chocolate?

A good update on Interfloras return to grace, and speculation on how they did it.

Interflora Is Back: What Did They Fix & How Did They Come Back So Fast?

Does sound a bit like double standards though, as I doubt the average small business would recover so quickly

I missed the news of a Starwars 7 (Starwars VII for the purists)

So its the old crew, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill (whatever happened to him??) and rumour control says Harrison Ford!

Carrie Fisher dusts off THAT bikini for Star Wars VII ? The Register

My understanding is that TSI has taken over and absorbed the codes of practices as laid down by the OFT, so organisations members will already be conforming to these, and any reported issues would be dealt with by the organisation itself, through processes and procedures already in place. No doubt TSI may want to enhance these as the scheme is developed, but organisations looking to join the scheme would agree to these code of practices, just as they would have to with the OFT scheme.

I think this is more of a building on the success and concept of the OFT scheme and taking it to a new level with more publicity and visibility for consumers, via an easily identifiable Trading Standards Approved logo.

Reducing consumer confusion, and giving trade members an identifiable logo that shows they are TS approved traders, as well as members of a professional organisation, to promote their own services can only be a good thing.

Clive aka Garde

I like the "what" though, now there's a question. Clive is a legend in his lunchtime, with most of his posts revolving around compensation, moaning or winding up bank managers

My favourite way to find clive though is to type grumpy clive into Google. Did it ages ago, but it still makes me laugh

If you've ever thought about a bit of black hat or buying text links, then this is good food for thought...
