    SEO - Is This Allowed?

    As previously mentioned, what you're talking about is a black-hat technique called keyword-stuffing, which was picked up by the search engines and banned years ago. Hiding them using CSS has also been banned. There are no 'legal' ways to add them into the code. However, I think you might be...

    £600,000 to rebrand London

    There's a bit more to the project(s) than just a logo! £600k may sound steep, but it doesn't go that far when you start organising large focus groups and carrying out brand activation exercises. Bearing in mind that this brand ought to hit every single person in London, the cost of 10p per...

    free promotion

    Pricing: Private or Public?

    I think it depends on your target market, and the way you operate. Smaller clients will be on a tight budget, and are unlikely to waste your time unless they know they can afford you. Larger clients are more likely interested in the quality of your offerings, and will worry about cost when it...
