So i’ve got this neat tool now - SpyFu - that allows me to do all kinds of competetor research for my clients. I’m not too sure how it gets its data, but checking the results against accounts in my client centre the figures are pretty accurate. Once i’ve used it a bit longer i’ll post more details, for now here’s the top UK Spenders..

iPod 1418 Error Fix
Posted by Alex | Filed under General, Google Adwords
The other day my girlfriends mothers ipod (click wheel, ipod Photo) packed up while being updated from the PC. After a number of attempts to get it working I decided it needed to be restored. Unfortunately after trying numerous times, Itunes kept giving an error with the code 1418.
After sometime on Google i realised this seems to be a common problem. I tried the following fixes without success:
Reformating the Ipod in Windows
Unplugging the cable as soon as you click the “restore”
Reinstalling USB Drivers
Trying another computer
The HP USB Key Format utility
All these failed.
I was sure the Ipod was dead and trip to the Apple store was needed. I decided to try one last method that i’d read somewhere on a forum - the whack it on the desk method…
…So I gave it a whack. The ipod then rebooted and started working perfectly - no really it did. Its probably short term but hey.
Hope one of these works for you.
I’m on the Google Channel on YouTube..

Last year when I was over in Dublin Google asked if i’d say a few words on the record about AdWords and how great it was.
They’ve finally produced a very short video. Take a look..
