So, that Australian won it. Good on him. As a business person he came across the best of that bunch.

Choking at that presentation was bad.

I think Sur Alan only took him to pee off the head of google UK.

I once had an interview with a French director at Paribas who made Claude Littner look like a Cocker Spaniel.

He doesn't need any help looking like a cock.

He is a bloody dinosaur!

Both business plans had their problems. Reckoned he went for the one with the lowest risk of totally imploding.

The problem with Bianca's plan - is you're gonna need a hell of a lot more than 250K to get it moving - and any failure will be incredibly visible.

However, her plan had much greater potential.

First consideration before registering my company was whether I could get the domain (although I've done FA with it). It is a pretty basic mistake for someone who's business plan is SEO.

Anyone ever spoke to me like that at an interview I'd tell them where to shove their gig.
And I have done once.

If I was in the market for SEO I'd just google "SEO <name of town>" and contact the top two or three companies in the search results... because if you can't get your own site at the top of the results, how can I expect you to do the same with mine?

Interestingly, when I do that, there's actually a company that has the same name as what i put into Google, and they only came up sixth...
