Please take no notice of what 47usc227 says (above). If he had bothered to do any reseearch at all before making such a sweeping statement, he would have discovered that ringless voicemail drops are not regulated in the same way and DO NO violate TCPA. He is welcome to try suing someone who...

Have you tried Manta? It does UK and US businesses, although there tends to be less information on UK businesses than US for some reason. Still, it's a good source. Then of course there's Places Scout (software - and definitely not free!). Haven't used it myself but I know people who use it and...

I've used .mobi's quite extensively and have never come across this problem. Usually they resolve (for me, at least) pretty quickly. Although I use internet bs for other extensions (and they've been great btw - it's just that they haven't had any special offers on .mobi's when I've been buying)...

I heard that the CTIA are auditing all the shortcodes for regulation compliance, and they're holding the providers responsible for their clients non-compliance! It's causing loads of problems and forcing some to shut the doors on new clients whilst they track down their existing naughty clients...

In my experience businesses are really only interested in 2 things:- making sales (whether that's physical products or selling their services) - to new and existing customers and how much of a return they're going to get on any investment they make. Tell 'em more people will be searching the...

I'd like to add a few thoughts. Perhaps I should just start by saying that I've been giving sales presentations for around 20 years - so I've had lots of practice! Have I always found it easy? Absolutely not. But there are a few things that you can do to help yourself. Firstly - know your...

I think it's more important to sound professional than it is to necessarily look professional. What I mean is - clients are interested in what you can do for them. Persuade them that they absolutely must use your services if they want to survive and thrive or they'll lose out to their...

I discovered that you get to 100% by adding an image with the 'alt' tag correctly done - or at least allowing SEO Pressor to alter it. I had been stuck in the 90%'s very frustratingly until I just tried that as a last result and voila! You do need an article at least 800-1200 words long as the...

Hi Scripteen, When you say 'new source' of 3.0.4 does that mean a manual installation of WP or can I use Fantastico? I know when I've tried to reinstall WP before on blogs if you have any WP files left it refuses to install. I was just wondering how that would work leaving the wp-config.php...

The sites that got hacked were running 3.03 and the one that hasn't been is on 3.04 (as I've been working on that one). That probably tells you something. When I go to my sites I get a black screen with a pair of animal eyes blinking and looking around plus some text like ha ha ha you've been...

Thanks for your replies so far. Still waiting on my hosting to reply. So much for 'high' priority support tickets. I've managed to keep my last blog intact and have now installed some security on it. (I know - stable door and horses come to mind :spankme:). I've also completely deleted one of...

Hi, I have contacted my hosting provider (MyResellerHome - in answer to your question). They haven't replied as yet and as I still have one site left (currently!) I was hoping there might be something I could do in the meantime. I suppose you get what you pay for :ouch:

Hi guys, Any help for a poor unfortunate who's just had 5/6 websites hacked. They were all running WordPress blogs and whilst I'm quite competent enough to build a WP site I'm really out of my depth now and don't know what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Mine's internetbsdotnet They're really quick to register - and changing nameservers is practically instant. Oh, did I mention, they're really cheap too :). To be fair I haven't tried to do anything else there as yet, but so far so good.

I entirely agree about the perceived value. But you also have to realize that most offline businesses are a) ignorant about online - other than they ought to be there and b) busy - so they would rather pay someone else (for which read 'outsource') to do the job. Businesses (or their owners)...
