Orange Customer Services are unhelpful, truculent, dishonest robots with no concept of customer care. They’re not my favourite people at the moment. In addition to the above, I’ve found them evasive, uninformed and unempowered, and the experiences I’ve had are of a team who are de-motivated to the point where they treat customers as an [...]

It’s sometimes difficult to fathom out just how much the world has changed in the last 10 years. The web is ubiquitous.

“the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” Matthew 8:12
Google launched their Penguin update on April 24th, and Matt Cutts wrote about how it was another laudable step in “rewarding high quality sites”. In the [...]
SEO is pretty straightforward isn’t it?

If you’re planning any kind of marketing activity, it’s pretty important to know what kind of return you’re going to get from it.
