Syria - sweepstake? 6th August 2012 12:17 PM

The Syria PM has done a bunk to Jordan according to the BBC, so wonder how long now till the inevitable, and President Assad gets overthrown?

It's tragic to see the daily slaughter as a another nation slides into civil war and destroys itself.

I do wonder what the point is of the United Nations is sometimes, thinking of Bosnia, Rwanda, Sudan... to name a few...

is I.T. the curse of big business... 6th August 2012 11:57 AM

It does seem IT and large business never seem to go hand in hand...

You can guarantee any new government database will break when it goes live, and the Banking industry is shell shocked from recent IT upgrade woes...

But anyone see what happened to the US trading firm Knight Capital?

"An IT glitch on Wednesday caused its trading to go haywire, losing it $440m...The software glitch is thought to have affected Knight's trading algorithms, which are computer programs that automatically and speedily send out buy and sell orders based on market data and client requests"

BBC News - Knight Capital 'is close to rescue deal'

Ouch! Must have been a few smiling investor faces though if the glitch worked in their favour!

How to generate leads through website? 4th August 2012 8:23 PM

Hello Nancy

If this is an attempt to market "logiseek" it's falling on deaf ears!! You ask lots of questions but don't listen? Any more "how do I.." will be deleted.

As per my previous post.....

Maybe you should stick to one discipline and work your way through that, before immersing yourself in the next strategy.

PPC is a powerful tool and long proven to bring conversions, but it needs to be mastered and learnt, with your full attention.

Find a free voucher (google it) and set yourself up an account and have a play. Set a low daily budget and experiment. Its worth spending the time as you will get good rewards, otherwise outsource it.

This thread, although a little old now is still pretty valid:

E-mail address for email marketing 3rd August 2012 12:20 PM

From my experience, there's 2 ways to build a marketing list. Organically, ie from your own content and people subscribing, or buying in email lists.

Organically is very slow but will see a good return

Buying in can be expensive and will be of dubious quality and I've yet to ever get a decent return, so knocked it on the head years ago
