lol I'm only partially Thatcherite...

Unfortunately decades of poor planning from progressive goverments and an ever increasing dependence culture on benefits has bled the country dry

Sounds great, but do you think that's a realistic scenario? Me and you are small business owners, so that makes us private sector employers, so should we bear the burden on pension schemes? If it's capped per number of employees, then you end up with companies not wanting to recruit.

In the mean time how does UK PLC fund the current pension schemes if there are no reforms? Forget Greece and Spain, we're broke

But can see both sides, as the wifes pension is under threat, but being public sector, she can't strike as she's currently on a second bout of 12 months maternity leave which was very generous, and makes my toes curl if we had to provide the same generous package in the private sector!

Just been looking through our analytics for our mobile site and it's showing some interesting figures, especially when it comes to worrying about who to optimise formatting for!

See the attached image for the last 30 days stats on our mobile version of My Local Services.

Interesting stuff, so basically, optimise for an iPhone, and the Windows phone is about as popular as Bing

To be fair I've just done a deal with an International Business Consultant who has offered to send tailored business advice to any of our members.

This offer is only valid over xmas though

Wasn't going to post, can already feel the blood pressure rising...

So public sector workers walking out on strike and causing the rest of us chaos.

Few people doubt the fact that Nurses and teachers do a superb job and for not enough pay, but when it comes to pensions, personally I think it's time for a reality check. The country can't afford the current pension commitments and we are broke. UK PLC is a sinking ship and is up to its eyes in debt.

They still have a pretty good pension scheme compared to most of us in the private sector (those that have pensions!) so do we really need Union orchestrated walk outs that impact the rest of us? Lets face it, the majority of people are already struggling or fed up with the ongoing financial doom and gloom, without having to use up valuable holiday to stay at home with the kids because the schools shut

Hmm, has the potential for a rant, but shall leave in business news

So what does anyone else think? Am I spouting Tory rhetoric and should be burnt at the stake or does anyone else see the current pension crisis as unsustainable and the strikes as an annoying sideshow?

Fair enough, can't beat a good experiment

Just watch out for any duplicate content, or make any similar landing pages noindex, nofollow to keep the google god happy.

Can see you top of page 3, so you're on your way. A few decent links and you'll be there.

Nice clean wp template, does the job

Why the local landing pages? Do you mean from different marketing campaigns?

That's a bit heavy! I'll just settle for wanting to be rich, if I get there, I'll let you know what I want next

So how did you get on Bill? Did you get the project off the ground or is it still at the planning stage?

Very true, but I was thinking more of an established website, which is a going commercial concern, rather than a simple site for a couple of hundred dollars.

But all interesting comments

Still not sure what relevance that has to valuing a website? Quality/Quantity arguments and Google T&C's is all fine and good when you are running a site, but the original question is how do you value a website?

Whats become apparent from this thread is their appears to be no Holy Grail formula you can apply, so it goes down to factors you can calculate, traffic, age, revenue, reputation and good old gut feel
