    A suitable "first step" would be to install an add-on to Firefox such as SearchStatus | Firefox SEO Toolbar Extension. This shows things like Page Rank, Alexa etc for the currently displayed page. I guess when it gets more serious a paid option will be best

    I think you are being a little harsh. I found Jeremy's post useful, although I did take much of the linked article with a little salt. As is often the case, I think it pays to apply a bit of common sense when reading stuff on-line. What the article actually said to me was pure SEO is a game of...

    For my own learning, do you think Goggle (or other search engines) will give the same SEO rank to the keyword domain as the site that you have nominated as your live domain? I have looked at the Goggle page on 301 here: 301 redirects - Webmaster Tools Help and it looks as if the actual effect...

    Are you able to update the theme / CSS so that the background to the main shopping areas & the featured items area (where the shoes & chair etc are) is the same pale blue as the exploded engine parts in your home page banner? This is an appearance issue only, to make it look slightly more...

    Also I believe paper is a low margin & low value-add commodity business, and is without a service element (which I think Jack's business has). Now if it were office machinery of some sort; vending machines, rest room hand driers, or something then I think it would be a better fit. Vending...

    I found this and link and it reminded me of Jack's advice. It is a good illustration about the danger of doing business at a loss: Groupon demand almost finishes cupcake-maker - Telegraph Basically a cake-maker offered a Groupon deal to sell cupcakes for £6.50 (GBP) a box, generating a loss of...

    Okay, good answer, but it is clear what you know is how to do a business. On the other hand, I did once get annoyed about the standard of articles in a magazine I once subscribed to, so I analysed the general house style, then submitted a few articles of my own. I ended up writing for them...

    I've usually been advised to stick to what I know. it is a rule I've stuck to in my market dabbling and in my hobby businesses. Is this one of your considerations when choosing a new business venture niche? Once again, great thread, thanks Ric.

    I believe you for sales roles, but this might not be the case in other roles. For example, in my slow-lane/day job I run a small team of Web site admins, content producers, etc. We all work from home. We all seem to do about 10 hours a day on average (sometimes peak at over 12 hours when...

    So how was your big day Jack? Can you share what the milestone was and what the next aspect is you are going to concentrate on? This is a great thread, and it is changing the way I think about exploiting business ideas. In a few words, it is true commitment to your business idea, as opposed...
