    What's SEO writing?
    Search Engine Optimisation.
    Writing in such a way that anything you write gets top Google ranking soonest for the keywords and keyphrases your company needs to get free traffic from search engines.

    Free traffic = reduced advertising bill and greater success ..... of course if a site's landing page or conversion rates suck that's not my fault... that's another ballgame.

    Quite possibly, but unless he's some kind of robot that doesn't need any sleep, he wouldn't be posting at least once every hour from around 7am til gone midnight like the people I am referring to manage to do.

    that's a very weak point Robert - you're directing this as at the more positive posters as little dig at them as you have very little to grasp on at the moment. your local netto is out of straws i here... ;)

    if we went by your logic you'd have to include LIR, Dopester and a couple of others who aren't fantasists or even anything that you imply these people are...

    you may as well include geoffky and nearlynew here as they are not badly off apparently so they say...

    very, very poor and very weak point you've tried to make...

    I've not missed any point at all my sweety. Those people you mention don't go round shouting about endless credit lines and five figure limits so your counter-argument is moot.

    You're entitled to your 2p just as much as I am mine but in my experience those that go round bragging about their alleged 'wealth' and possessions usually turn out to have f-all and are nothing more than wannabe's. And I'm not saying it isn't possible to post on internet forums all day and also have a stack of new credit cards rolling in on a regular basis, but I think that if you were truthful you would agree that it is rather unlikely.

    Of course, I could have it all wrong (it has been known..) and I'm missing some new get-rick-quick scheme, so please feel free to enlighten me how one can sit posting the same old yada-yada about house prices on internet forums all day long whilst having £12.5k of cash posted through my letterbox to use as I wish. :confused: Somehow the two don't compute, unless Martin has introduced some pay-per-post scheme that I've missed...

    i totally get your point - it was the direction that you were directing it at which caught my eye but never direct it at Geoffky for example... has mentioned a number of times that he could cash buy more than one house tomorrow.

    weren't you the guy that talked owning a haulage company and being a truck driver, earning £xxxxx and there were a couple of other things you mentioned too... you are as guilty as the people you're mentioning...

    i actually like that you and others mention these things as they bring information to the forum that i'd may have taken for granted or not even know about.

    Love the posts, but am I the only one wondering about what's so special about getting a credit card with a 12K limit? It's not as if it makes you rich - it's not free money, just the opportunity to increase your debts at what are usually eye-watering rates. I would expect that lots of those with the highest credit card limits are actually the poorest, esp if the credit is used.

    Or am I missing something here?

    I totally agree with your point that there are some on here who do gloat about their wealth, or supposed wealth - just seemed an odd illustration, given this is the board of 'my house is bigger than your house' ya boo sucks kind of comments. :confused:

    Plenty of better material at your fingertips.
    PS I have a 16.5K credit card limit on one card. It quite categorically does NOT make me feel rich.
