Covering the the essential things you need to know for a successful SEO campaign. An article that will definitely raise awareness as to why you should integrate it in your marketing efforts either outsource or in-house.
So you've gone through the long process of optimising your website for search engines; completed keyword research, applied your keywords to your HTML page titles ensuring they also appear in your content and submitted a sitemap to the major search engines, that must be it right? Wrong!
Let's face it SEO isn't rocket science, once you know what you're doing it's pretty straight forward, but if it's not done properly then your competitors are getting all your customers. So investing in the services of an SEO Company can be a great return on your time and money. But not all SEO Companies are created equal so here's a quick checklist of things to look out for when hiring an SEO company.
You've created a good website, put up nice content, design, development and support elements, marketed your website on various forums and gone through the process of e-mail marketing, the traffic is coming in but still... No customers, no sales, no revenue? This is a common situation faced by most website owners nowadays. No worries...
The most people hear the term "SEO", it is generally heavily associated with link building, and dominating in the search engines. Truth be told, whilst this still remains a large part of what it is that you do to rank, it is not the be all and end all. In fact, the most important aspect of SEO is in how you execute it, and this is why the success rate of those who learn methods is actually quite low. Let me demonstrate.
One of the most overlooked aspects of a website are the legal disclaimers such as the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. This article is designed to help you put together these important web documents to keep you in compliance with federal law as well as Google (and other Search Engine's) best practices. Privacy Policy The Privacy Policy is extremely important.
That's a good question, and it's one that every single website owner should know and be aware of. The problem is however, that for most businesses, their website isn't their primary source of income, which is why it gets left out in the cold. Here's some another questions - how often should you update your Yellow Pages advertising? How often should you update your newspaper classified ads?
In the era of e-commerce, Magento can contribute a lot in a website by improving its rate of traffic. With the help of this open source software, a person can hold the attention of more and more customers towards his web portal.
Learn a simple process, and add dates more easily from PHP into MySQL. Use two variables in PHP $today and $now in conjunction with the date() function.
Powerful features and special effects are not something that only big websites with plenty of cash to burn can afford. In fact, most of the neat design features you see nowdays are pretty easy to get right - some with practically no programming required. Let's look at how to create a basic image gallery using Drupal, Views and Thickbox.
Hey guys I am pretty new to pdo so I basically just put together a simple connection class using information out of the introductory book I was reading but is this connection efficient? If anyone has any informative suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
class PDOConnectionFactory{
public $con = null;
// swich database?
public $dbType = "mysql";
// connection parameters
public $host = "localhost";
public $user = "user";
public $senha = "password";
public $db = "database";
public $persistent = false;
// new PDOConnectionFactory( true ) <--- persistent connection
// new PDOConnectionFactory() <--- no persistent connection
public function PDOConnectionFactory( $persistent=false ){
// it verifies the persistence of the connection
if( $persistent != false){ $this->persistent = true; }
}
public function getConnection(){
try{
$this->con = new PDO($this->dbType.":host=".$this->host.";dbname=".$this->db, $this->user, $this->senha,
array( PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => $this->persistent ) );
// carried through successfully, it returns connected
return $this->con;
// in case that an error occurs, it returns the error;
}catch ( PDOException $ex ){ echo "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. We have a bunch of monkies working really hard to fix the problem. Check back soon: ".$ex->getMessage(); }
}
// close connection
public function Close(){
if( $this->con != null )
$this->con = null;
}
}
How to log only failures in an external file, from php unit? I want the complete information, including actual value, expected value, line number etc. Right now I am using fwrite and logging all pass and fail tests into a file, is there a better way to do it?
Hi,
I have following View COntroller structure:
ScrollViewController
LandscapeViewController
PortraitViewController
Each with its own .nib
The app starts in landscape mode where many landscape views are added to a scrollview. Each landscape view has its specific portrait view, so I have to assign like ID's to each of this views. Can you tell me, how I can load the specific portrait view for each landscape view when rotating the device?
Do I have to make two scroll views? One for landscape, one for portrait? Or is it possible to just scroll through the landscape scrollview an load just one portrait view with the right content based on an ID? How could I implement that?
The data comes from a property list.
Thanks in advance!
I'm just wondering what's the best way to implement a threaded conversation like the Facebook Wall where the comments are displayed under each post, and older comments are collapsed and expandable. My instinct is to use a nested datalist, but I think that might take a toll on performance.

I am building a site which currently uses javascript from several sources:
Group 1: Google Maps API v3 (hosted by Google)
Group 2: jQuery & swfobject (hosted on Google CDN)
Group 3: Several jQuery plugins and non-jquery javascript files (hosted on my server)
I am using Justin Etheredge's tool SquishIt to combine and minify all the javascript files that are hosted on my server (group 3).
I am wondering if the site would 'feel' faster to users if I were to host the files in (group 2) locally so that they can be combined with all the other files in (group 3) and requiring only one HTTP request for groups 2 & 3. This would mean that I don't get the benefits of the Google CDN however.
Does anyone have any advice on this matter?

Hi,
I'm using a servlet to do a multi fileupload (using apache commons fileupload to help). A portion of my code is posted below. My problem is that if I upload several files at once, the memory consumption of the app server jumps rather drastically. This is probably OK if it were only until the file upload is finished, but the app server seems to hang on to the memory and never return it to the OS. I'm worried that when I put this into production I'll end up getting an out of memory exception on the server. Any ideas on why this is happening? I'm thinking the server may have started a session and will give the memory back after it expires, but I'm not 100% positive.
if(ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request)) {
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload();
FileItemIterator iter = upload.getItemIterator(request);
while(iter.hasNext()) {
FileItemStream license = iter.next();
if(license.getFieldName().equals("upload_button") || license.getName().equals(""))
continue;
//DataInputStream stream = new DataInputStream(license.openStream());
InputStream stream = license.openStream();
ArrayList<Integer> byteArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int tempByte;
do {
tempByte = stream.read();
byteArray.add(tempByte);
}while(tempByte != -1);
stream.close();
byteArray.remove(byteArray.size()-1);
byte[] bytes = new byte[byteArray.size()];
int i = 0;
for(Integer tByte : byteArray) {
bytes[i++] = tByte.byteValue();
}
Thanks in advanced!!

I have a vsprops file that defines the optimizations all of our projects should be built with for Visual Studio 2008. If I set the properties for the project to "inherit from parent of project defaults" it works, and fills them in the vcproj file. However, this doesn't protect me from a developer checking in a project file that changes the optimizations. In this case, the project settings are used over the vsprops settings. I need to make it so that vsprops always takes precedence over what is in the vcproj file. Is this possible? Other workarounds are also welcome.
