So should I be pleased? I think not. I suspect a page view is not a page view but counts each time my property appears in a search result, whether viewed by the user or not - and because OD have widened the geographic search area for any set of results (more than doubled it for my location) it shou...

After 4 years of listing with OD (and maintaining page view statistics in a spread sheet) May 2016 suddenly showed a major upturn in page views viz: May 2013 - up 5.6% May 2014 - down 26.5% May 2015 - down 53.6% May 2016 - up 72.5% This is as extraordinary as the net decline over the previous 3 year...

There is a business that collects all the future school holiday date data (often before it is published) for the UK and overlays it with both pupil population data (and individual postcodes if customers request). It then predicts % (and numbers) of pupils on holiday for any given day/week of the yea...

OrangeBlossom said Isn't the lack of fraud protection going to be true for the alternative ways of taking CC payments discussed here too? It might even be true when making payment via Online payments with OD and the like, after all, they use a third party to process their payments. I'm sure I rememb...
