Firefox 3 Download

OK which Firefox plugins have you found that don’t work with the new Firefox ? Personally, I think the new version looks pretty good, but already people are talking about its flaws regarding plug-ins. What about page speed is it faster / slower ?

I’ve experienced some issues on secure connection failure with Firefox 3 but nothing major.

My download worked straight away on the release date but many were disappointed at the lack of access to the new software. In conclusion should we not be applauding such open browser development?

SEO Focus vs Website Size

A website’s size can often be overwhelming especially when there are so many aspects to consider SEO wise. That’s why it’s important to have a clear focus as to what the client really wants from you even if your main role is to lead with knowledgeable direction to site architecture and indeed SEO strategy.

Here we find that bite-sized chunks usually work in terms of offering guidance to the SEO client. We focus on specific areas that really matter to the client. This isn’t always easy and this week I found myself somewhat distracted by the sheer size of the website, so much so in fact that Dave had to pull me back into focus. His guidance was simple “What is it the client is asking you for and what are you actually looking at ?” he told me to forget about the size of the site and concentrate on the task in hand. (This was shortly after I had done analysis on all pages indexed lol)

NoFollow the next step

Depending on what what side of the fence you sit on, this is awesome or really really bad … LOL

People keep on getting the NOFOLLOW tags in a mess, using it to SILO page rank etc, well what about the NOSEE approach, It’s dead simple server side script that if you are a search engine, or something that we don’t feel has been human, you just don’t get a LINK at all, so if :

Normal what a human would see :

David Naylor is a SEO

code : David Naylor is a <a href=”http://www.davidnaylor.co.uk”>SEO</a>

What the search Engine would see:

David Naylor is a SEO < - NO link

code : David Naylor is a SEO

What was originally on the Site :

code : David Naylor is a <a href=”http://www.davidnaylor.co.uk” rel=”nofollow” >SEO</a>

Should make Matt Cutts very happy or very Sad ..

Wordpress Theme Evil Fun

No it’s not the add links at the bottom, this is better evil but better..

get your designer to create a wordpress template as standard :

  • style.css - index.php - comments.php - comments-popup.php - single.php
  • page.php - category.php - author.php - date.php - archive.php - search.php

but before the you package it up and ship it out : edit the 404.php

<?

Header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
Header( “Location: http://www.Yoursite.com” );
?>

Get it … evil lol

Protecting your Backlinks

How many time have you found a website started up a conversation with the owner and convinced him that his users reading about his “1967 VW campervan restoration” would fit perfect with your Client that sells “classic car insurance” , 2 months later you have 5 other people listed on there and you look like you purchased the links..

so first build the landing page and meta tag it “noindex, follow”, then deep link from that page into you site or 301 the page into your site, that should stop the pesky link builders see your back links for a while.

Yahoo Free Money lol

I got an email a few days back about a flaw in the Yahoo £50 deal… this one I’m actually running

Start with £50 credit in your new Yahoo! Search Marketing account for a limited period only.

It turns out they have flawed logic, and that you didn’t have to deposit any money ! I also read it again over on Ha.ckers today.

Firefox 3 Bullshit 101

I love firefox and i use it every day but this sort of thing makes me mad !

Firefox bullshit

OK,, Home truth time …

IE never had the massive memory issues that Firefox has

IE never got my IP address Banned in Google ( a Firefox plugin did ! )

IE never gave my Adword/Gmail Password ( a Firefox plugin did ! )

IE never crashed so bad that I had to reinstall Vista ( a Firefox backup did ! )

So will I still use Firefox, hell yer I love the browser just hate the fact that it’s using stupid marketing techinques
