More explained here: Everything now changes on InternetBusiness.co.uk

I work with small businesses you have never heard of - I work with massive corporations whose brands you walk past routinely on the high street.
I’ve been interviewed by national media, national press, and spoken at international conferences.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at something of a business crisis point at present - managing growth.
Simply put, my workload is far too large for me to handle.
This is a big part of trying to expand my business - not so much client side, but general services side.
Because I&#8217;ve always been a hands-on person, I used to do everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Speaking at SES London was exciting and daunting - to be honest, I&#8217;ve *always* wanted to speak at SES since I started doing SEO, and having two sessions to cover on link building was a dream - many thanks to Mike Grehan for the opportunity.
A couple of clear lessons learned, though:
1. Presentations are Linkbait

The chatter has been around for a while, and it seems the recent move to reduce the clickable space in Adsense could well be contributing - but the economic downturn hitting big corporate advertisers [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m gutted.
Last Autumn it was obvious that Yahoo stock was seriously undervalued by comparison to Google, Amazon, and other major internet companies. 
However, not only did I not have an investment portfolio, but the promise of the stock markets tanking made it a bad time to set up a portfolio [...]]]></description>

The trouble is, I&#8217;m usually too busy to keep any pace with blogging the subject - plus there&#8217;s also the concern [...]]]></description>

UPDATE: It appears there are some very interesting complaints about scalability with Drupal which apparently still hold - ie, great for a small site, but if you want it to run something larger, you&#8217;d better have some good developers on your books. Conclusion? Drupal promises much, but could still be a victim of its own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing I&#8217;ve struggled with - not least through trial and error - is how to determine a brand and build it.
Lessons I have learned include:
1. Use familiar words to define a brand where possible
2. If using made up words, try to avoid more than 2 syllables
3. Thriving communities confer brand by sheer familiarity
And of [...]]]></description>
