Not too sure I understand you, assume you have a website up and running with these products? You've posted in the online marketing section, so are you are focusing efforts on online marketing or is this a general question on how to gain leads or introductions?

If online, I guess it's going to be down to the quality of the site, the message, perceived quality and usefulness of the product, and how the target audience normally buy this product.

Is this something users would normally google, or would they expect suppliers to request a meeting and a face to face suited and booted pitch? Can't imagine the tech support team of BP googling for a new reactor?

Out of sheer curiosity, just googled oil industry reactor

Look at all the adwords results! Blimey, maybe people do buy reactors via Google! There's the answer, get a good adwords campaign going!

Traditionally I think it's the way Flash was implemented. We used to have flash buttons for our menu buttons, home etc, but we could never get google to see them, so went back to text links and images. But apparently google will index flash content, here's an interesting site run by some dev's - Flash 'n' SEO Indexing - Flash Crawling Experiment

But in this brave new world, and with more content being seen on mobile devices, I thought the world was slowly moving away from Flash and moving towards HTML5 and its native support for video.

The flash restriction on ipads is frustrating but they are still flying off the shelves.

Googles trialing the HTML5 Video Player for You Tube, which could show which way the winds blowing.

Hi Lorna, we try and keep self promo to a minimum, but if you go to your user control panel you can add a signature with a weblink, which means you are a softselling every time you post.

Or if you have the urge for a full on sales pitch, then feel free to do it in the Village Market, which you can now use as you have gone over 10 posts

Please try not to bump old threads though unless it is something relevant.

Dunno, Facebook?

Ok, so it's a big barrel...

Disagree, guess it can depend on the site, but I struggle to view any non mobile content on my iphone.

Self plug, but see the difference on ours.

Just visit www.mylocalservices.co.uk on a normal browser, then try your iphone.

It will auto detect mobile devices, so displays as a normal site on an ipad, but is a cut down site for the iphone.

Set up separate analytics to track the mobile traffic, and I was amazed, now its been live for a few months, it's working out at just under 10% of traffic.

We threw on a bit of mobile adsense and overnight we had a new revenue stream. Will confess to being very slow on the uptake for this, and didn't see any potential in a separate mobile site.

I was very happy to be proven wrong!

There we go, I moaned over a year a go and Google listened

Every barrel has a bad 'un

"Gunner Liam Bretherton, 20, faces dismissal from the Army"
Silly boy, and is rightly being punished. The chances are he'll end up at Colchester Military Prison, then have a dishonorable discharge at the end of his sentence. What a waste of an opportunity...

The UK government's targeted rate of inflation rose in July, figures show.

The rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 4.4% from 4.2% in June, although the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure was unchanged at 5%.

Prices of clothing and footwear saw their biggest annual increase since records began in 1997.

So the Bank of England reckons they can get it back under control within 2 years, lets hope so

They are great, the products well designed and usable. But their finger in the air to the competitors is a bit frustrating. The only people who suffer are the customer.

As long as Flash doesn't run on an iPad, it will be nothing more than a gadget, and not a business tool as the TV adverts will have you believe. yeah Apple, we know there are rivals to Flash, now you tell that to the 100 million websites still using it.

The number of web sites you can't use is frustrating, everything from the kiddies BBC site - cbeebies to Google analytics, and its lack of display for charts etc.

I've noticed our Google Plus 1 buttons don't show on iPads, but the Facebook plug in works ok, wonder if that's another finger the air. Why can't they just allow multi vendor support, I'm sure they can afford a few licence fee's, and let the consumer vote with their wallets for the best product.

So annoying as its a superb bit of kit and I love it
