That's unfair to beard enthusiasts who keep their beards as a past time, and not just for the chance to win a phone! So... no.  |

ok.... ive been thinking! i'm in the process of building my new website Guava Studios - Outsource Web Design Outsourcing Programming Outsource (its not finished - and dont even think about looking at it in IE 6 yet! i'm just putting it up there so google can start indexing the pages, should hopefully be finished by next week) so, the competition should be based around promoting guava studios - ideally something to do with link building, but im a bit stuck for ideas at the moment  |

low cost != fuck all, all things in life are relative e.g. if you were to go to a london web agency you might get charged £10k for something that only costs £1k to do, so if I were to quote £5k then this is a relatively low cost compared to other quotes |

thats completely wrong also... ive been working with outsourcing companies for over 2 years now (about 10 companies in total) outsourcing literally hundreds of projects and ive never heard of a single company charging less than $9/hr - the average wage for a programmer over in india is about £2-£3 an hr so you're never going to get an outsourcing cost for less than $6/hr |

oh right, well I have just been going off of the silly prices people seem to take work on for... like websites for $50, etc. If you are selling something for £5000, then why not use a freelancer from the UK and support the economy here? Or is it all about the bottom line? I will PM you my rates. |

A local internet upstart has a competition running whereby the blog post/link that ranks highest on Google by a set date wins a prize - in your case the search term would be "guava studios". The results are determined by the search results from various locations to even the field. That could really give you a boost if it's PR you're after. In fact, just bringing this idea to the table should win me the phone I made 100 posts and all I got is this stupid signature.

Why would that be? If there's a million people linking to his site, how would one of those overtake him in the race? ...anyhow, just a thought - who's for beards then? I made 100 posts and all I got is this stupid signature.
