Google and other search engines use your site's loading speed as a measure to compute its ranking, meaning that the slower the site, the lower the ranking will be. That is because Google takes into consideration the usability of your website, how you code it and how its information is presented to the user and obviously the speed, all falls under the category quality.

 Adding social network buttons is great way to make sure users spread the links of your site, therefore, gaining tons of t…

Everyone knows by now how powerful social media really is to gain traffic to a website. Social Media helps to get attention from your readers and build up a better relationship with them.

When creating websites you tend to think up domain names for them and have plenty of ideas of what to do, but sometimes you end up leaving them sitting there doing nothing.  You can sell them on if it’s a good name that people will want, you could also make quite a lot of money that way.  Until you find somebody interested in it though, it’s likely just going to sit there.

The fact is though, even if you don’t want to do much work on the website connected to the domain it can still…

As E-readers become more popular people find themselves wanting to read more and more, this can be a costly business especially for the bigger titles that are out there.  As companies like Amazon see the profitability of electronic versions of the books they sell they keep the prices at an attractive price for the reader and still manage to keep a profit.  The fact that publishing a book in electronic form is relatively cheap too it’s opened up the world of the independent book industr…

One of the forms of expression on the internet over the last few years has been “the blog” whether it’s politics, entertainment, the technology world or just about any other subject the world has woken up to the “bloggers”.  Some of the most important so called bloggers in the world have gained influence on the things they write about because they show a knowledge of what they are writing about and have the all important thing, an opinion.

When hosting a website you have a choice between using Windows or Linux.  Sometimes when hosting on a Windows server you want to use Wordpress on there.  It will work, but it’s not the easiest environment to work with, especially when it comes to URL rewriting rules.  “rewriting rules” are when the URL you see for a page has been made more “pretty” for not only Google but the users as well.  Instead of seeing a post number (for example www.yoursite.com/?page_id=3) this is not the most pr…

When creating a website normally you build in a comments system to get feedback from your users, sometimes though you may wonder what it takes to make people post comments on the things that you are posting.  What you have to think about though is are you wording your articles in a way that you are looking for replies? Or are you ending what you have written just stating something.

The fact is you have to make your posts open ended, you have to understand who is writing your conten…

2013 is a year that Social Media will continue to grow.  We can’t say for definite what will happen but we can look at the current state of play at the moment and make predictions of what will be.  Looking at the various social media movements at this current time it’s easy to predict a few things that can happen.

Looking at sites like Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Myspace (yes, I mentioned THAT) it’s easy to say that some will grow, some will consume others and some wi…

As its Christmas I thought I would make this how-to very Christmassy themed and look at the ways to track Santa.  The traditional way of course has always been for children to put out treats for him and on Christmas morning they would run down the stairs to see if he’d been and see if he had left them any presents.  With the internet and the modern technology available to us today there are more ways to track him down and see just where he is.

Now this is not saying whether Santa i…

As tabloid newspapers in the United Kingdom champion the right to force Internet Service Providers to censor what users can see on there internet they miss a point, which is one that should be looked at.  Children using computers that have not been set up to block such sites are at risk of seeing things that they should not see.  the problem of course is this, it's removing the burden from the person who really should be governing what they should see, and that is the adult.  

It's a…
