Hum Bug

In days of old when I was the MD of the company I used to get loads of pressies:):)

Alas since I stepped aside and let Gareth/Andy/Simon run things whilst I just became arguementative I get bugger all:

Merry Christmas everyone

Doug

Ps. I wonder what Andy/Gareth/Simon got and did not tell me about:):)

Our Server Overloaded – A First Ever

Looks like out discount voucher site is doing something right:) www.discountvouchers.co.uk today stopped working…..that never ever happened to me:)

Our estimates are the server will have had almost 200,000 visitors today…so a bit upset as the revenue loss is considerable. But when told I actually laughed:

“Looks like we have created something that works then:)”

Hope your Chrismas ia an interesting as our’s is becoming:)

All the best

MyVoucherCodes is loosing its top spot??

Is this the last year for Mark Pearosn to have his own way?

Seems some people proper companies are rapidly catching him:

  • www.vouchercodes.co.uk
  • www.discountvouchers.co.uk
  • www.savoo.co.uk
  • www.moneysupermarket.com – ok a white label of MVC but he ain’t keeping much of that money and will be on penalties and sla’s to keep this site live.

Checkout the growth of all these in hitwise.

Time to clean up the act Mark or start being nice to people because simply you aren’t going to have all that traffic to yourself any more:) So being a bully boy to merchants may become not as easy as you loose some visitors.
