What is Invoice FactoringInvoice factoring (or discounting) is an alternative way of reducing a businesses cash flow problems. Instead of having to wait weeks or months for your money after you raise your clients invoice, you can have upto 90% within days. For those of you who are fed up with the high street banks and the power they seem to hold over you because you need to your overdraft, investigating factoring could very worthwhile. I have been working on the SEO of a new site where you can get in touch with a number of independent invoice factoring companies.

You have the ability to get in touch with independent financiers who are looking to invest in British businesses. Yours could be one of them.

Search Engine Optimization and Marketing ResearchIt's been a while since I posted here because I have been heavily involved with a new SEO / SEM research project. We all know that getting high natural listings in the search engines is important and I was lucky enough to find out about a stunning tool that has saved be hundreds of hours in research time. In fact the ThemeZoom tool is so useful, that it made me realise that I should alter the focus of my consultancy work ... and that's exactly what I have done. My clients have all seen significant improvements in the amount of natural traffic they get to the websites they operate. It would be fair to say that the cost of my service was an initial barrier to them but now they can see the results, it seems they want me to work 24/7  My new service involves significant amounts of research and application of recognized latent semantic principles to ensure higher listings in the search engines. To give you an idea of how successful this appraoch is, type in (without the commas) 'what is lsi' into Google and you'll see my site at number 3 (currently) for that term. (that will be this page .. whicj also ranks well for what is latent semantic indexing) Note: at msn the term is 'what is lsi seo' as lsi is a company 
The results as I say are really good and I have decided to move away from the Internet Marketing arena and concentrate on providing seo research services and SEM research for PPC campaigns. If you want me to handle your research leaving you to do other things please pop over to my new site at http://www.seo-sem-research.com or call me at +44 (0) 845 838 5567

At the moment there is a massive marketing campaign centered around the benefits of Tag and Pingand to be fair the marketing was such that I decided to do some homework on what it is and what it can do. The results of my research shows that tag and ping IS something all serious internet marketers need to learn about and use. I know I'll be changing the way I do things from now on! The reason for this post is simple - I'm suggesting that rather than rush in and buy the most 'marketed' product out there, you do some searching on google using the phrase 'social bookmarking'because that's all it is. And then (or even IF) you still can't get to grips with it (or understand it) I found a wonderful, easy to read guide that has all of the answers you'll need. The guide is written by a lady called Lisa Ann and to be honest I've never come across her before but the information she's put together is first class. I learnt lot's more than I expected from her guide and I was that impressed I even sent here a testimonial - and you all know I don't do that very often. I highly recommend you get her guide Tagging Secrets, as I said to her 'it's a guide every serious marketer should have in theirj library. Get your copy of tagging secrets here, it's cheaper than the current alternative but in my opinion much better value. Technorati tags:Social Bookmarks Social Bookmarking Tags Tag and Ping

Financial Fixed Odds - A way of making tax free profits.In my first post about financial fixed odds trading, you'll see I had very high hopes of the ability of Matt Shaw's FFO system to make me some healthy profits. Well I,m still more than happy with my results and I found out that all of my profits are tax free. As you might expect, I've been doing a lot of research and working out. So far all of my examinations have shown that there are some very serious profits to be made by anyone. There are some limitations as to how much I'm allowed to hold in my account - but if I ever get that much money I won't care how much I am forced to withdrawn! I've done lot's of things it was suggested I ignore. And the results show why. The simple truth is that if you stick to what Matt suggests, you really do stand a better chance of winning. So how have I done so far. I've had a lot of fun. I've made some trades. I've won a few and lost a few. And if I hadn't tried to run before I could walk .... who knows. In all, It looks like I'm still well on track for some serious profits. Let me remind you that I'm using the information I learnt from reading the financial fixed odds success system. If you read it to. You stand a better chance of making a profit too. Financial Fixed Odds Success from Matt $haw Stick to the fixed odd success system if you want to be an overall winner.

Get Much Better Results From Google AdsenseI don't know about you but I got fed up two days after I got the first notification of this product. I'd been to the site, though "Yep! I like the look of that. I might learn something new." Then life took over. Someone called. The kids wanted. The baby (she's nearly two) 'talks'. In ear piercing tones. and on. and on. And then I got one email about it. Then two people had jumped on the bandwagon. Then three - - - - and then I turned off. Too many people were going to be getting in on it. Anything learnt would be wasted within 2 months because of abuse. La La. La La. I don't mean to be cycnical but ...... I'm sure some of you really understand. BUT
(ooh! there had to be one ) I just bought into it. Yes I hang my head in shame and admit - I didn't want to miss out. I bought access to the videos because too many people (who I do trust not to sell out completely) told me they were a good if not reference. They were right! The fact that Michael is another Brit is a bonus in itself. Even if you know it all - buy in and use your access as the Google Adsense reference library.

Financial Fixed Odds Betting - I'd never heard of it either.Well now I have and I've decided to suggest that you learn a bit about it as well. I was luck and stumbled across someone I've decided to call Mr Financial Fixed Odds. I really though the guy was off his head when he said he could show me a way to turn £100 into around two grand in 26 weeks. (We've all heard that right?) Well ... I thought 'Let's have a look then. Let's see what dross you're drivelling' (I was already putting him down and I hadn't even seen what he was doing - I was just in 'that' mood) All I can say is I am SO glad I kept my big mouth shut. What I've learnt is dynamite. It blew me away and I've already made more than I ever dreamed possible in three weeks! Here's what it's about

Good, well managed, highly secure industrial units are not easy to find these days. So I was surprised when a good friend approached me asking for help find someone who wanted a very good secure industrial unit close to Stansted Airport and the A12 / M25 corridor. He has put together a great little website that has all of the information you need and he is more than willing to arrange viewings if your are interested in leasing a secure industrial unit. Here is the link: Secure Industrial Unit for Lease I don't expect this unit to be available for long, so check out the details and arrange your viewing ASAP.

Oh the joys of using the internet as a marketing tool. Zen-Cart, possibly the best and most versatile, 'free' shopping cart programme you can use.Any business that doesn't have an online presence is wasting a valuable resource. Any retailer that doesn't (or worse still, won't) sell online, needs their head examined. The old arguments that it costs too much to set-up an e-commerce shopping cart , no longer hold water. Sure there are costs but there is now no real need for you to have to pay for good quality, stable, secure and reliable software. My company, Mutual Advantage Ltd, is more than happy to recommend Zen-Cart as the best and most versatile, 'free' shopping cart programme you can use. When you consider that some commercial shopping cart programmes can cost £700 or more (and that's before you even get anyone to install and customise it for you). It makes good business sense to investigate how good £700 worth of customisation and integration will make your business look to new customers.

Here in the UK we've finally reached PIN DAY.
In other words, to improve security and deter fraud, if you want to pay for something using a credit or debit card. You must now use a four digit P.I.N. (personal identification number) to authorise the payment at the sales counter.
While I'm 100% behind the stand against card fraud, there is one type of potential fraud that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else and it may affect you.
Be aware that if you buy something ONLINE you will NOT be asked for your four digit PIN number. Your four digit pin number is ONLY to be used in counter sales.
If you buy online you WILL need the THREE digit CVV number from the back of your card.
If anyone wants your four digit PIN number ONLINE - there's a good chance it's either a fraud or the merchant doesn't know what he's doing and I wouldn't buy from them anyway.
Stay alert and be warned

If you are using Google desktop you need to configure it properly or risk a lot more than you think. "Unless you configure Google Desktop very carefully, and few people
will, Google will have copies of your tax returns, love letters,
business records, financial and medical files, and whatever other
text-based documents the desktop software can index," EFF Staff
Attorney Kevin Bankston said. I found this story penned by John Leydon for The Register and though it worth of your attention. I for one would like to keep my private things .... private. As the story hints at, if you have problems, it could be a real bonus for among others, the tax man  For those of you reading this. Always think about security. Just 'cos a programme works on your computer doesn't mean it's safe! I'm sure any security 'itches' with programmes or applications written by (or for) big companies will get resolved but .... Sometimes in internet world it's best not to be on the bleeding edge.

And then (every now and then) I see something that refreshes my mind and revitalises my perceptions.
