David Cameron ahead, but not enought for outright victory

/in /by

David Cameron is leading the UK election currently but not enough to for outright victory. It seems that it will be a hung parliment. The Conservative leader made a statement that Labour had “lost its mandate to govern” following one of the biggest swings towards the Tories since the early 1930s.

The final result of the election is which is expected to be confirmed early this afternoon due to more than 20 constituencies not conducting overnight counting.

It has been said that the Queen has not made plans to receive any of the party leaders to form the government until at least later on today.

Hung parliament could threaten the UK’s credit rating

/in /by

A hung parliament would make investors nervous, The UK would deal with this differently to other countries and it would be less of a problem in a country such as Germany which is with a coalition government. In the UK, though, there is still the assumption that we are governed by a single party and our political system would take not adapt to the new circumstances should a hung parliament be in place.

Will the UK have a hung Parliament

/in /by

Not web related but any business in the UK will be taking a close on the election.

At 8:20am The conservatives have 286 Seats and Labour have 237 seats. So the current swing is a change in favour of Conservatives but it is not enough at present to give Conservatives the total control. So many politicans have learned to their cost over the years that voting can not be predicted. However no matter how much prediction pointed at the Conservatives taking control because the UK has voted in a non clear cut way it is likely that we will have a hung parliament .

Nick Clegg raises the stakes in there campaign by appearing to indicate that he would insist on being Prime Minister himself in a government where power is split between his party and Gordon Brown’s Labour Party. But  Torry leader David Cameron and his performance coming upto the election has put him nearer to Number Ten Downing Street position, the Prime Minister’s office/residence in London. The fight seemed to be generated in a 2 against 1 battle.  And when you look the labour and Lib Dems votes addded together equal is 288 seats and the conservatives have 286 seats at this point in time.

Another Bad SEO Company

/in /by

We have another new client has come to Chameleon due to paying lots of money Search Engine Optimisation and they have achieved no results.

On investigation we have found that the SEO company had used Black Hat SEO and also failed to address the fundemental parts of website design to make the site Google friendly.

Also as we investigated there was no Google Analytics on the site and this suggests that there was no monitoring in place.

We informed the new client to ask for a report about the SEO that was carried out.  The should be available as a minimum and they could not produce this.

Due to being a professional company we will not publish any company details but we advise clients to ask for reports showing starting ranking positions of keywords and at specific intervals the new ranking positions.

Also if you contact Chameleon we can check to see if the SEO company has carried out the basic tasks to make the site Google friendly.

If you need more information about SEO visit Chameleon website.

SEO Companies that keep calling

/in /by

In nearly every communcation with clients we are being informed that SEO companies are ringing and ringing and emplying the hard sell techniques to get work.

These companies should be avoided.

If an SEO company calls selling backlinks and they want you to look at your site whilst on the phone and goto a pre planned website to show no backlinks compared to your competitors then please put there website URL into the same tool.

Ask them how many backlinks they have and then tell them how many they actually have…..It is a new fun game that really annoys the hell out of the sales people.

Get them to explain why they are not top of Google when search SEO Services in the area that operate from as an example.

Happy SEO game playing.
