Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Alex - has it crossed your mind that it might be an idea to try and develop a decent relationship with the officer rather than straightaway putting time limits on him to respond ? You do seem to "go off on one" rather quickly.
I'm sure the poor chap is very busy dealing with matters that he probably sees (and is told to see) as more important. Boiler room scams for instance.

I have made every attempt to do just that. I have gone out of my way to do exactly as the CoL Police have asked me and provided them with all the information they have requested and I have now given him another opportunity to clarify their position. There is nothing more I can do and I am certainly not going to withhold important information from the public with regards to what the Police are doing with regards the criminal complaint I made on 16th July.
I have also just re-added you to ignore.

Not sure why you think that the police have a duty to reply to you Alex ?
Surely once you have provided the "evidence", it is up to them to decide how to proceed with it, and in what timespan ?

Phormwatch - have you anything to contribute to the thread other than calling for me to be ignored ? It is getting rather repetitive.

Let's not go round and round. Phorm, Webwise, Adverts I think is the topic.

Once again a bad news day for Phorm
Once again this forum is distracted with the same old, same old rubbish.
I do not mind honest debate but frankly this round and round is getting silly.
The topic is Phorm not the agenda of a hamster in his wheel

Please will everyone calm down.Everyone is entitled to an opinion here.Please treat each other with respect or face being warned,infracted or possibly suspended.If you really cannot bear to listen to someone's opposing viewpoint then the ignore button is a pretty effective feature of the forum.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
I think that Phorm has been spending more money on there advertising on Google, Phorm is number one on Google.
I wonder how much money it is costing them to stay at number one on Google?

As I understand it, google don't accept payment for better placing in the actual search results. The sponsored links section on the right is obviously paid for though.
They could have used the services of a third party company to try and get themselves moved up the listing by using various tricks (or they could have done that themselves). alternatively it could be a natural change. One factor that affects ranking on google is links pointing to your website from other 'good' sites. I've seen a couple of news articles recently that had links to pages on the phorm domain.
EDIT:
For some background reading on the topic of search engine rankings I'd recommend this wikipedia article:

True - Google don't offer this service.
Phorm restructured their website a month or so ago. This can sometimes lead to a temporary dip in page rank, which quickly recovers after all the pages on the site have been crawled.
