"Excellent round-up. The search partner control has been a particular want of mine for many years. It certainly isn't a case of turning all off. As you mention Brad, sometimes they perform really well." - Adrian Bold

"No major surprise. Most offer no real value, let's face it." - Adrian Bold

"Thanks for sharing 'though in a way I would have preferred not to know!" - Adrian Bold

"Judging by the traffic coming to my site today, most people are more interested in seeing photos of the streakers. Shakes head :-)" - Adrian Bold

"Dulux paint voucher now arrived from ICI so that's a result, at least. Well done to ICI for sorting this out without making a fuss and thanks to Craig for mentioning this in his comment." - Adrian Bold

"2012 final score was 48-9 to the Army. Obviously the usual 'banter' about the number of Fijians in the Army side. Not entirely sure what the answer is apart from, if they can serve, they can play.  Another good day but the Twickenham organisation didn't seem as good as normal. I think we're all use to queuing by now but this seemed particularly bad. Hopefully just a blip." - Adrian Bold

"FYI: Sky are showing this on the 'red button'. Sounds like an omen to me! ;-)" - Adrian Bold

"Thanks Roland. The clues are certainly out there! In terms of PPC costs, I think they'll continue to rise regardless of what's happening on the SEO front. Google have the market and can therefore let price inflation carry on. It will continue getting harder for smaller companies to compete but hopefully there are still plenty of opportunities if done right." - Adrian Bold

"Credit where credit is due. I've just had a very nice email from Dulux customer services. Not admitting any liability, of course, but they are sending a voucher to get some new paint as a gesture of goodwill. Well done them; no arguing or silliness, just good customer service." - Adrian Bold

"New image added for 2012. Happy St. George's Day!" - Adrian Bold

"Judging by the traffic coming to my site for people searching for this issue, this is not an uncommon problem. :-(" - Adrian Bold

"I have sent an email to the Dulux address given above (4 days ago) but have yet to receive a reply. I will update here should I get one." - Adrian Bold

"Thanks for sharing this Craig. That does sound encouraging. I'll give it a go! :-)" - Adrian Bold

"An update from the BBC (March 2012) - Former Portsmouth chief Peter Storrie would relish return to club -  http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/f..." - Adrian Bold

"Thanks David. Best of luck with everything." - Adrian Bold

"Ouch. Sounds like a terrible time. Well done you though for taking the time to write this post and share your experience." - Adrian Bold

"Good article and I agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately, it's going to be impossible to stop the spread of nonsense. Just look at the number of SEO conferences and made-up awards. All the time the industry is gorging itself on this bullshit, it's just going to continue getting worse." - Adrian Bold

"Thank you for sharing these shortcuts for AdWords Editor. You need to check the link in the footer of the PDF however. Appears to be broken." - Adrian Bold

"Well done guys and thank you for making this plugin available. Off to give it a spin now! :-)" - Adrian Bold

"Thanks for sharing this Sarah. A very handy guide." - Adrian Bold

"Thanks for the tip Wendy." - Adrian Bold

"My vote would be for feature. Google don't do bugs, do they? :-) It makes perfect sense given the search intent 'though interesting to compare results replacing BBC with ITV or Sky." - Adrian Bold

"It is a shame when company's keeping 'fixing something' that isn't broken. I found the same with TweetDeck. Switched over to the new version and have regretted it ever since!" - Adrian Bold

"I think it's the same throughout football (thinking of Rangers now). All very happy to take the salaries and bonuses in the good times but seemingly no responsibility when it goes wrong. Parallels with bankers, me thinks!" - Adrian Bold

"Well the deal was done and closed successfully. I was a first time seller selling to a first time buyer (in Flippa, at least) but despite this the transaction went smoothly.  Luckily, the buyer is a great guy who helped the process go really smoothly. We used the services of Escrow.com splitting the modest fees and this just ensured both parties were protected.  I can definitely recommend Flippa." - Adrian Bold

"A £10m home, a business empire – how bad with money can he be?" - Adrian Bold

"My first discovery about the Flippa domain auction process is that when the auction gets to the planned end, every time someone adds a new bid, four hours are automatically added to the end time.  Whilst this is good as it prevents auction sniping, it does mean you might need to stay awake at odd times to approve bids! You can set bidders to be automatically accepted but, of course, a new bidder may arrive at any time. Different time zones means you might need to have some kind of auction monitoring shift in place! :-)" - Adrian Bold

"Thank goodness there's still something Britain leads the way in!" - Adrian Bold
