Random Ghana Company Factoids du Jour

I’ve been following for a few years the surprising resurgence – and I use that word advisedly -- in the Ghana economy. After being in effective collapse for some time, inflation has been declining, banks becoming more healthy, and GDP growing nicely in this resource-rich, entrepreneurial and (relatively) stable African country.

I’ll return to that subject in a future post, as I maintain that improving economies in some central African countries remains almost entirely overlooked, but today I thought I’d share a few Ghana company names. Courtesy of a piece at NewGeography:

* Man! Know Thyself (Pharmacy)
* Is Not By Might Alone (Construction)
* But Like A Chain Ventures (Hardware)

Hi everyone - Hi everyone.I am Alex,SEO Analyst on XSEO Company.Nice forum.
More Difficult Sign Up Process to Stop Spammers... - This post is more for Evan but all Mods are welcome to chime in with your opinions. I have suggested this to the owners on some of the other forums I moderate and it has drastically reduced spam. Doing these things will almost entirely eliminate spam bots and will also cut down on real people who come here to spam because they don't want to jump through all the hoops. I don't know what you have in place right now since it has been so long since I joined but here are some things that a lot of forums are doing and it works well... 1) Captcha during registration. 2) Random security question during registration. 3) Must confirm email address to activate account before you can post. 4) New members can't add signature links and/or links in posts until after they have certain number of posts. Let's get rid of these A-Holes!!!
