You know those ads you see when you search in Google - at the top of the search results and down the right hand side (sponsored links)... ..they're from people who have paid money (adwords) to appear there.

Simply.. http://adwords.google.com

Advantage is that you can fine tune your campaign to keywords and also target a specific geographical area. You get an almost instant idea of how successful or not your campaign is.

Must admit I've used all sorts over the years, then keep coming back to photoshop. Which ever one you go for make sure you have a free trial run to ensure you're comfortable with what the software does.

....and over kill. I want something that is point and shoot.

Though maybe it's a gun you're after!
I'd like to see the banks get back to sensible lending where they actually assess every customer on their own merits, to be fair I think some of them are trying to do this. Rather than employee account managers or advisers they would be better off getting in an experience commercial credit manager who has worked at a decent size corporate and get them to make the lending decisions when it comes to business banking. You will get a much better overall risk strategy and a little more risk taking but tempered with a sound no when it is the only correct decisions.

Anyone from one of the banks reading this want to talk to me about it, you know where I am

I'm sure that for small businesses most credit assessments are made by a computer and not an account manager / adviser / person. The person will just tell you yes you can have overdraft/credit or no you can't dependant on what the computer states! Though I'm willing to be corrected if times have changed since my banking days (a long time ago)....
Neat SEO reporting tool for your website 23rd September 2010 5:15 PM
I'll admit to being easily impressed,...

No comment.

Less clunky than the usual SEO report generators, and gives you some good info.

Information dubious. Though the usual things to check for is a handy reminder.

As with all these tools, don't take it all as gospel, but can give you some pointers and flag obvious issues.

If only. Just checked a few sites, and some have titles and meta tags but not reported as having.... ..so have to agree with don't take it all as gospel
