We recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation by the fabulous Lani of Thankyou Payroll. Their business plan revolves around the fact that everyone hates dealing with payroll. Even the IRD don't like dealing with payroll! In fact, the IRD hate dealing with it so much that they pay ~10 companies around NZ to make the pain go away.

Is it really time to shift to a new search engine? Has Google finally lost its edge and taken too many steps to maximise its revenue instead of serving its customers?

Getting to the 'top of the search results' is great, but what terms do you want to be #1 for? Getting lots of visits and leads from irrelevant keywords is not going to help your business, and it may even cost you money and time.

If you'd like to look like an expert online then it really helps if you know your subject, I'll assume that you do - if you don't then you have some work to do before it's worth you reading this article.

If you use Google to search, you're not seeing the same search results as anyone else.
