Have you visited the Bank of Industry yet?

Many companies large and small, are suffering at this time from lack of credit. With central bank lending rates low, national and international banks can borrow at low cost, but then they either do not lend at all, or lend at 15% or more. Now every government should think how it can supply the funds needed by the companies which employ people, reduce unemployment and get exports growing again. Existing banks need a competitor. The answer is the Bank of Industry

How good is your companies "Shop Window"

I have been looking at a large number of international websites lately, and have noticed many of the pages are years out of date, copyright dates from as far back as 2002, menus that don't work, images which do not exist and email addresses which do not work. Then firms and organisations wonder why there is no business.

On a recent trip I visited a small company and was impressed with their product. On arriving back home I went to the website and sent an email, and nobody has bothered to reply. Do the management know this is happening? or do they just don't care.

My advice is to get an independent person, with web experience, to go through the site and make a report, so that things can be updated. If you own a shop, would you leave it full of rubbish and no lights on?, well you should take care of your website, which is your shop window to the world.

BT Tradespace. My advice, Wait

A good example. Tradespace is international, and there are many users from all over the world. But now, if you are located, i.e. Miami, Paris, Berlin, all are listed as in the UK, because that is the only choice available. So at the moment I would not recommend anybody from joining.


Why have the company considered pilot testing with a small number of users? This definitely hurts the companies reputation.

Time to update your Copyright date

Now is the time to plan changing all your copyright dates from 2009 to 2010. Create the 7 types of sitemaps, and upload. This is very important, as the search engines use this information to verify page changes. You should update sitemaps at least once a week.

If you need help, please make contact.

BT Tradespace has problems on migration

I have a number of sites on BT Tradespace and on 20th November, BT started migrating over to their new system. As of today all of my information, images are "Lost" I have reported the problem and will update with information when a reply is received.

I would suggest not starting a website until the problems have been resolved.

BT Tradespace. Not certain how long it will take

November 8th. With more than 200,000 websites to migrate to the new version, this will take time. Naturally like anything new, there will be small problems, but it would seem the new version has incorporated most of the wishes of the existing customers. I will post an up-date when possible.

Looks like BT Tradespace is up grading this week-end to the new version

Finally the upgrade seems to be happening. At the moment you cannot access your Tradespace area, but soon, maybe on Monday the new version will be ready. It seems there are many exciting new facilities and additions. I will try to update my Tradespace Lens on Squidoo as soon as possible.
