Ok, so a provocative title on which I have decided will be my last effort on this marketing medium known as the blog. I’ve come to the conclusion blogging is not for me, and with a business forum, facebook pages, Google+ pages, oh and a business to run, it’s always the poor blog that gets left out. [...]

Well the updated My Local Services USA went live, we had the usual round of bug fixing which has just about finished and overall the project has pretty much gone to plan! After catching a major directory red handed earlier this month, trying to harvest our data, and receiving apologies and assurances it won’t happen [...]
Poor negelected blog! Well it’s been a busy few months. We’ve given My Local Shopping a face lift and currently in the process of revamping and updating My Local Services USA.

Like a lot of people, any Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) knowledge I’ve picked up over the years is completely self taught, plenty of trial and error, copying techniques from so called experts, some good, some bad, and had plenty of advice that gets contradicted by other “experts”. So as a small business owner, fighting to [...]
In marketing terms, the internet can be seen as a hunting ground, and small business is the prey. It can seem that every Tom, Dick and Harry wants your money. They want to sell you something, maybe promise to get you on Google page 1 or just tell you how to spend your precious marketing [...]
