we say all this, but there are still PLENTY of websites which havent been affected by penguin/panda, spammy websites with hundreds of duplicate pages. It seems like google is 'behind itself' and needs to clean up on old algorithm updates before rolling out any more, quite frustrating for a white hat person like myself who struggles to navigate my way past those spammy sites...

I think the answer is yes keywords are still very relevant

Absolutely! Its all numbers... we've created 'X amount' of jobs... they don't say where on the pay scale these sit... And in fairness to anyone on benefits, why would you give up your benefits to go to work to earn less than what the benefits are paying? Thats where the problem lies

That is absolutely true, but if you read their financials, its easier to understand their position - their downturn in turnover is what they are forecasting until the decline in print meets with the increase of digital revenues. The press just love to tear them to pieces. If you isolated their digital/online performance - its pretty impressive!

HAHAHA, funny

Has to be sitting in front of my laptop and watch my business go higher and higher up the rankings, combined with going to the gym!!!! To my wife's detriment...

They haven't actually gone pop... The ownership of the company has changed hands, now 50% owned by Deutsche bank... They have liquidated Hibu Plc - taking

Ever thought of paying them based upon how hard they work? I have guys working for me who take 30% of whatever they take... so if they go out from 7-7 they are going to work hard than if they are paid a daily wage... Not everyone is willing to work this way, but the guys who do - work very hard because they know they can earn some serious wonga if they put the hours in.

This means you won't get lazy people working for you..

I incentivise weekend call outs, late nights etc, but I just pass that cost on to the customer.. i.e. pay 50% instead of 30%...

Great advice!

Often the simple things are missed out, not many companies consider the forms of advertising that we had only when we were kids when there was no internet!

Its worth walking into office blocked, like regus buildings, as they may have upto 100 business' in there at a time who are clearly all close together.. I have a friend who cleans for 15 different companies, times a week, just imagine if they were all a 'drive' away from eachother... that would take some time, but he just pulls up in the regus car park and goes to work! He literally can't handle any more work..! Costs nothing!

I think the argument between PPC & social media one is completely different from market to market. Some users may be stimulated with an offer from a business-so Facebook may work, some aren't... Eg you wouldn't be switched on by seeing an advert on Facebook from estate agent offering

I believe the best recovery is a slow one, learn from mistakes so they're n

I thought cyclex was a good option for a cheeky backlink but it's no follow, as it Thomson. Better to stick with quality rather than quantity.
