As the home counties became covered in 6+ inches of snow I started to wish I had ordered the wooden Toboggan I wanted the last time it snowed. Of course the kids would be the main beneficiary of such a purchase – honest.
With the kids off nursery on Monday morning I decided to have look and see what was about to buy, so that I had something for ‘next time’ it snowed. Bearing in mind that the press were reporting that 65% of the UK’s work force had taken the day off I didn’t think I would see anything I ordered until at least late this week or early next.

As the value of the pound against the euro continues to crumble holidaymakers in the UK are looking to non-euro destinations for cheaper holidays. So if you have a travel website or are thinking of building one in 2009 then you need to be thinking Turkey & Egypt. Both are outside the euro and pose excellent value for those looking to save money whilst abroad.
Given the choice, I personally would go for Turkey, only because Egypt’s flight program is a bit lighter since XL Airways went bust. There are other airlines stepping in to the fil the gap, however I am sure that many are waiting to see how the travel industry fairs in the traditional January early booking period.

I want to tell you the story of how my (link) lover cheated me and only wanted me for my money (deeplinks). I did think about trying to write this in the style of a Mills & Boon novel, however I have never had the pleasure of reading one.
So we all know the score, you’ve slaved for hours coding and building and adding content to a new website. The next thing you want to do is try and get some reciprocal links, or link love as we prefer to call it.
My new niche website about ‘widget reviews’, and by a stroke of luck and careful negotiation, I manage to bag myself ‘widgets.com’. So armed with a cup of well made tea I started scouring the web for potential suitors to exchange some love with. Pretty quickly I come across a store selling widgets with a domain ‘widgetsdirect.com’. Hmm, no PR, few thousand pages in google, well structured site and its bang on the money as far as being of the same subject as my site.
