    Best UK SEO forum?

    Just taken a look at http://ukseoforums.com/ - the signal to noise ratio there is horrific. http://www.th3core.com/ looks really good, though. A lot less spam; the discussions seem to be pretty high-level. Thanks for the pointer dougs!

    Wanted: Website Review Online Fashion Shop

    The site looks great overall - the homepage design is absolutely fine. 2 main issues: 1 - all the prices are in Euros. I know you mentioned this in your first post, but you *must* sell in GBP if you're targeting the UK. 2 - You really, really need to put some men's clothes on the homepage...

    should I buy a .it domain?

    Oops - quite right. The geo targeting is only for non-country specific TLDs like com, org, or net.

    should I buy a .it domain?

    It's very difficult to measure, particularly with a sample size of 1. However, both those steps are simple and one-off measures - and they certainly won't hurt. Plus I could believe that Google has (slightly) different ranking factors for different Google country sites (i.e. google.com vs...

    should I buy a .it domain?

    I don't think the .it ending will make it sound cheap. There are certainly potential issues with type in traffic, but I'm not sure that will count for a huge proportion of your traffic. Something like howtoget.it is memorable; techy types in particular will have no problems with a .it...

    Wanted: Website Review MusicQuotes.co.uk

    Interesting idea! I'd echo the background - it really needs brightening up. Not least because it should look similar to the social networking sites that your visitors will use. Also, the contrast between the text and background is far too little. It makes it quite difficult to read. In...

    Wanted: Website Review Please review this ferry website

    The site is still in Google's index. Try a search for: "Ferry to France provides you with all the information" (including the quotes) As I explained in my post above, I'm not convinced of the existence of the sandbox. I've taken a look at your incoming links in Yahoo Site Explorer - it...

    Wanted: Website Review Please review this ferry website

    On the Google Sandbox effect - to be honest it's a matter of debate as to what it is, or even whether it exists at all. In my experience, brand new sites get a temporary boost in ranking to allow them a chance to get visitors via Google's organic search. After this, I believe that it's...

    Hi from Hastings!

    Next month I'm moving into a flat about 200 yards from there! Yeah, I really like living in Hastings - lots of stuff going on, and more manageable size-wise than Brighton :) Any more domainers near me? (I know of one already).

    What's your last regg'd domain/s

    Aside from a .me.uk to complete a set, my last was: canned-food .co.uk

    Hi from Hastings!

    Heh, I've spent a few hours over the past week doing some domain research. It's just the one that sticks in my mind the most! :)

    Hi from Hastings!

    Hi everyone. Pete here - from snowy Hastings! I'm an affiliate marketer (plus Web Developer and SEO), and I recently though I'd try my hand at domain sales. Worst domain: probably any of the .info ones I registered for $1 a couple of years ago. Best domain: not sure really; I like...
