It seems like the perfect advertising solution: the ability to highly target users in certain business sectors, in companies of a particular size, in specified geographical areas.

We have had LinkedIn’s Direct Ads running for a couple of days now so it’s a little too early for results but we are beginning to get some clickthroughs. At the moment the clicks that LinkedIn say we are getting don’t match up with our web analytics software but we’ll give Direct Ads the benefit of the doubt for a little while longer.

I’ll provide an update in a couple of weeks letting you know how we get on.

Headed by Duncan MacInnes from their London office, Xenfin Capital’s funds are completely systematic and rely heavily on their bespoke software for managing trading and risk.

Symbiosis is a creative communications agency specialising in broadcast services, PR & promotions and events & exhibitions.

According to Analytics we’re getting an average of 10 visits per day sent from Haystack which isn’t too bad. The problem is that most of these visitors are from the US – only one visitor every day is from the UK and slightly less than that are actually from London.

Since we signed up the number of paid listings on the London page has increased and so has the daily number of visitors we receive. This week we’re averaging a huge 13 every day

We’ve got another week until our first month is up and then we’ll make the decision whether to continue paying for a listing. At the moment it doesn’t look like it’s going to be worth it unless our exposure to the UK market increases.

We think it’s turned out pretty good but we’d love your feedback too!

PlayerWanted.co.uk is a unique free service for all sports which gives players the chance to find a club or team in their area in their preferred sport and enables coaches and managers to post adverts for new players.

It is the brainchild of youth football manager and dad Adam Gilham, who runs an Under 11s team with FA Charter Standard club Beacons FC in South East London.

He found it hard to advertise for players and realised how daunting it was for parents and players to find a club near them.

He said: “Like many coaches, I’ve used local papers to advertise for players but not all of them have a Players Wanted section and even then it is very hit and miss.”

“Speaking to fellow managers, I realised how hard it was to try and advertise for new players and that there was no national database out there where coaches could advertise for players in a simple way – so I decided to create one myself.”
