Case Studies - What do you think? 20th May 2011 9:17 AM
“And due to the sign ups I am getting now, I felt it time to ramp it up, and I still feel this was 100% vaild.”

Great to hear business is booming, but wonder if there comes a point when your case studies get sick of fielding client enquires for you, as people check you out?

Maybe not now, but in 6 or 12 months? Or do you think this is something that will regularly change, with maybe new case studies every 6 months?

Or do people not contact case studies? Be interesting to know. I know testimonials get contacted, so simply assuming people may do the same with case studies?

Anyone else had any experiences, good or bad with case studies?

“You should use some more reputable sources like Google webmaster tools or SEOmoz.”

Agreed, personally just use Google webmaster tools and yahoo site explorer.

Interesting, but do you think case studies are limited to particular industries?

Your right, testimonials are the norm, as are reviews, but can we be bothered to open up pdf's and read loads of self promo blurb?

I suppose thinking about it, it's relevant to cost. If I'm spending some serious dosh, then I want as much research as I can get, and case studies falls into this. But if I'm spending

You wait till next year, rumour has it some ropey sporting event is going on in 2012, so yet another good reason to stay away
So after the recent nightmare bankholiday season for business owners, and bank holiday bonanza for employees, it looks like the retail sector had a windfall.

"UK retail sales rose by more than expected in April, boosted by the extra public holiday for the royal wedding, and the warm weather.

Sales last month were 1.1% higher than March, said the Office for National Statistics. Demand rose most for clothing, footwear and food products.

It was the biggest rise in retail sales for April since 2002.

But economists warn the big rise in sales is likely to be a one-off, and that consumer spending remains muted."

So a brief spell of good news for shops then!

“I put my email address because I don't understand what people mean by 'send me a DM.'”

ahhh, ok, you have the option (after 10 posts) of sending or receiving a Private Message (or aka Direct Message).

If you left click your mouse over anyones username, you will see an option that says:
Send a private message to xxxxxx

Have done a screen shot attachment below.

You can enter your email address, just some friendly advice that's all, as we live in an age of spam

Hope that helps.

“what's the ipad like?”

Shiny Shall now have to enter the apps world!
Could you learn all this in 4hrs? 19th May 2011 11:24 AM
Phew, that's a lot for a 4hour session!

It will be nothing more than a very high level overview, as would a 4 hour crash course on plumbing!

No doubt I'd have a go at replacing a pipe, but I don't think I'd be doing a bathroom replacements

There's a member on here, Chris SEO who runs courses, as Stavros did one and said he thought it was worth while.

Guess it's down to how much knowledge you have, and what you are expecting to achieve.

So after having to listen to our man Kip bang on about Mac's and Apple, I've entered the church of Apple with an Ipad2, courtesy of my missus.

As phones go it won't fit in my pocket (the missus said my fingers are too fat for an iphone) but its a very shiny gadget, and am very impressed

So does this get me into the Apple gang?

Well I remember years ago snow in May, and rain is pretty much a constant all year round

Maybe it's time to head down to the Mediterranean
