Welcome to the Q&A Forum

a lot of the sites that i have been going through do not have the words that i am looking at on their content pages, instead it is in the meta tag or they have removed the words. but i spent four hours yesterday going through sites and most of them did not have the words that i was looking for.

great thanks, will have a look now

Hi i am trying to find out if it is possible for me to put a search term down and found out what companies are using this. I know you can do this with google but i am finding that it is not bringing up the right results.

What i am trying to do is, search for a search word that is being used on their content pages, so for example, if i put down the word holidays in spain, i want to find that word being used in their content and not the site being in google.

Hope this makes sense, so i am trying to find how many companies out there use a certain search phrase in their content

any help would be great

Hi can anyone recommend some good hosting companies in the UK as my hosting company are now considering charging for technical advice.

I use some standard packages as well as a dedicated server and would be grateful if you could give me some examples on prices as well as service which includes technical service.

Thanks for that. This guy is very slippery and it is bad news that he is allowed to get away with stuff. Our legal team have said that because we have no proper proof  of him attacking our site although they and we know what he is doing, we cannot take him to court. We are trying to see if we can take him to court for false alligations to our hosting company because he gave his name to them. But with other companies he has been using different names.

This is costing us thousands of pounds and it seems we are getting no nearer to stopping him or sorting it out.

We had to change the content on our site because he was copying it and then passing it on as his own and sending it to people who have sites that represent him, so our rankings dropped and while the legal team were sorting it out we took the choice to re write a lot of the content.

There needs to be more guidelines in place to stop all this, but there is some good news as the guy who is trying to off load franchises is getting a bad reputation.

We got into a forum that is just meant for his franchisee people and we got in by just registering and found he was calling our company and making recommendations on how to stop us from getting customers and when our legal team made him aware of this, he went mad and said it was wrong of us to be on his forum and he quickly put a lock on it.

It would be nice if this was an honest world

Hi thanks for that and thank you egol for the website address. It seems a company who has registered this trade mark done so in the full knowledge that it was imoral. It is wrong that the trade mark office is not more widely out there, what i mean is, anyone can secretly register a trade mark in the UK and it seems it is hard to have it stopped.

We have a company who we did not class as our compeditiors as they were not in the same class as us, but because we were getting all the customers coming to us, they were not happy about this and started doing things that were not nice, like trying to reduce traffic to one of our sites, making false aligations, trying to have articles removed from sites, basically i am sure they have a horse in their back garden.

We have now a legal team in place to sort this out, but we have been told that we have to show companies have been using the trade mark name before they registered it, and then it can be dropped. So we are hoping to find these companies and hoping like us that they have been using that name for some time.

It seems terrible that a company can be allowed to do what they have been doing such as attacking our site and trying to cause dead links.

Hi can anyone help me. I am trying to track information from sites. I am at the moment got solicitiors involved ref trade mark of a name and we are trying to prove that this name was being used before the trade mark application.

A company has gone ahead with a trade mark in full knowledge that this is a common name and we have been told if we can prove that the name was being used before it was registered then we can knock out the trade mark.

We have been told there is an internet archive but i cannot find one, can anyone please let me know how i can look at sites from before 2010 and see about if they were using this word to help our case.

thank you for that.

Ryan i have just bought it as my subscription has just ran out but when i have loaded it onto my template for joomla 1.7 i cannot see not control panel for it like you can for joomla 1.5 can you give me any advice please

thanks for that, i will look at the link now

Hi i have seen this great map system that i have seen on many sites which i think makes a site look great but i have tried looking for the past few weeks but cannot find where i can get one from.

http://www.hypnoslimmer.co.uk/consultant.html

does anyone know how these sites do it and where you can get the product from. I use joomla for all my sites

Any help would be great

Hi yes it is the SH404SEF that i am talking about which i am a huge fan of. But when i have tried to put the 1.5 version for my joomla 1.7 template, it did not like it. So i was checking to see if there was a new version for the joomla 1.7 as each new joomla normally has a new updated extension

Hi not sure if anyone uses joomla on here but if they do i would love there advice. I have just got a joomla site that is joomla 1.7 but i cannot find a sh404sef component to make the url friendly and would like to know if there is a component out there or if you can use an older one.

I would have thought by now that they would have installed one with joomla 1.7

If anyone uses joomla, then i would be glad to hear from you.

there is an article site that i came across and i was going to put an article on it but stopped myself because i did not understand the trackbacks. it allows you to put the article on the site and then at the bottom is ask you if you would like to put a track back, i did not understand what it was asking me so i did not write the article.

Should i have let it blank or should i have put the site down that i want to promote

Hi i am trying to learn how to use track backs as a way to get link exposure. Cana anyone please explain to me the importance of them and how to use them please.

Would i use one by putting a link back to my site or am i wrong on this.

any help would be great

this is very interesting. If i had two sites with a similar theme and i had two links on that article, one with a anchor text for one word to one site and another anchor text for another site, would it ignore the second link

This is very interesting ryan. If you have a number of articles on one article site, would this not increase your link juice to your site.

With reference to earning money on hub pages i and friends of mine have submitted lots of articles on the site and have never earned a single penny.

Hi, i am getting lots of spam in my mail box about how companies can help you get more traffic and i see on lots of sites about tools that can bring you more traffic and help improve your site, and i am just wondering if anyone has tried any of these services or products to help promote their site.

For example, i keep getting sent about submitting my site to over 200 directories or search engines and just wondering if these are a waste of time.

thank you for that, i will concentrate on the main site instead of buying urls

How about if with the new domains that i built links for them, and then i had two sets of links, would this just be pointless. i read about it on a site but it seems a lot of hard work.
