Is Google becoming too powerful?

In the UK we’ve always rallied against the government’s ideas for storing vast amounts of data about us and this is partlyContinue Reading

The Internet Marketing Challenge….

At a recent seminar we held in Birmingham, we laid down the gauntlet to people who wanted to increase their site rankings. We started a bit of a competition to get people actually doing this stuff because we had an idea that most people still don’t put into action what they learn.Continue Reading

How not to market your products

We all love animals (aside: I don’t) and we all think that using them in advertising to win the ‘cute’ vote is a good idea (aside:I don’t think that either) but sometimes you can take it too far as a Russian company did this week when they thought a parasailing donkey would win them friends.Continue Reading

The Dalek That Sells Catfood

There seemed to be a frenzy on a few weeks ago for the new iPhone … This has caused some queuing outside the O2 shops across the UK. Apple seem to be quite clever in the way they use scarcity to build their brand and there’s some kind of assumption that it must be amazingContinue Reading

Prince – free album makes a lot of money

Back in 2007 Prince upset a lot of traditional media outlets by giving away his album “Planet Earth” for free on the front of the Mail on Sunday. At the time there were predictions that this could seriously backfire and lead to his albums being pulled from stores as people simply stopped buying them. YouContinue Reading

What shall we call our Magazine?

I’ve just subscribed to .Net magazine. For us web designers, it’s a great source of inspiration. I had put off subscribing for a few months because I thought to myself “HOLD ON, all this information is available on the internet”. However, each time I go into the newsagents, I pick it up and read it.Continue Reading

How to sell stuff we don’t want or need

We have a rule when selling our products – the customer should really need it. For example, if you want some search engine optimisation for your website which doesn’t have any prospect of making you money, then we’d probably say “really, no, what’s the point?”. However, I’ll be honest, if we can see that youContinue Reading

Google Myth Busting #1

Being a hectic business owner, I run out of time to do the simple things like just getting my hair cut. So this morning I grabbed the opportunity when I drove past and noticed they’d opened up early. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I have my haircut the conversation can go oneContinue Reading
