And me
There's not much work to be done here either. Seems to be all-out or ghost-ship quiet. Can't say I mind too much, tbh.

What do you do again?

Copywriter in an ad agency
We're just finishing a batch so it's being mulled over by the client. Thus, not much for me to do. Hooray for internetz.

My cousin does that, do you also shoehorn "SEO Expert" into it yet only talk about meta tags?

We've got an SEO running our company website, because he's a friend of the MD
And he's useless.

She's a fantastic copywriter, just knows f'all about SEO.
Her job was copywriting for a mahoooosive national chain, which got the #1 spots on google almost organicly... if you were in charge of say, Halfords, it would be hard _not_ to be top spots for something like "bikes uk".

What annoyes me more is the designer she uses (and has too, it's a buisness group thing), he doesn't know any HTML and his sites are straight out of the late 90s.

Oh, and "Social Media Expert" too.

We do print and TV ads mostly
No "SEO Guru" or "Search Lord" or "Interwebz Dungeonmaster" I. I hope you bitchslap your cousin if s/he is shoehorning!

I was thinking more 'Weston super Mare'
That way I wouldn't have the travelling.

She's suggesting it's way over her head, chap.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 9:12, Reply)

Does Weston-Super-Mare have mandatory internet blocking and a government bent on destroying dissidents and human rights campaigners?
If not, I'll think about it.

On the plus side
you're in the right country to become one of our jackbook-wearing opressing overlords in 20 years time, so not all bad.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 9:12, Reply)

20?
More like 5!
(McChinaman banned, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 9:20, Reply)

Bollocks to that, I'm not registering to read it.
But, I seriously doubt it. China has got this far by basically having a shit load of raw materials, cheap labour, and a healthy disregard for western corporate and commercial law. They'll have to do something about the last two to progress further, as shown by the current regieme's plans with the UK and Europe. But it'll take a lot more than 5 years, IMO.

Soz, didn't realise it was paywalled
But yeah, China has many problems, several of which are very urgent. Even if it has the world's largest economy, per capita income would still be less than middling. There's a long way to go... and many things that can go wrong. I wouldn't like to be someone who'd invested my wealth in property, for example.
(McChinaman banned, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 9:44, Reply)

China already has a massive say in the world economy
even if lots of westerners effectively have their fingers in their ears going "lalalalala I'm not listening" ... but yeah, I bet it's very different for the general public inside the country.. Still, must be an interesting place to be living right now...

It does not.
It does, however, have a high proportion of chavs and junkies. But these can mostly be avoided by going to places that cost money.
