  • Understand Your Internet Demographics: 5 Tools To See Who’s Surfing Your Web Space

    Demographics

    There has never been a better time to learn more about your online client base (Internet Demographics) and how to do a better job of reaching them. Your customers’ age groups, spending habits, engagement with your site and plenty more can all be tracked with the right set of analytics. It wasn’t that long ago when businesses would run an ad in the newspaper or on TV and have no idea how many people directly responded by cutting it out of a newspaper or calling a number they saw on TV. Basically, there was a lot less information out there about how many people you were actually reaching. That has changed dramatically. (more…)

  • What You Need To Know About Cybersecurity for Your Business

    Cybersecurity

    Businesses in this hyper-competitive, high-tech world rely on the operations of computer systems to run successfully. Unfortunately, as sophisticated as data systems and operating software have become, so too have hackers and corporate spies evolved to stay one step ahead. Cybersecurity has become such a pressing issue in this environment that the SEC itself has made it a number two priority in its latest Corporation Disclosure Guidelines, insisting that corporations disclose all cybersecurity risks or incidents, and that investors educate themselves on any company’s security record and policies before investing their money.

  • How to Avoid Bad Links to Your Site

    How to Avoid Bad Links to Your Site

    As you most likely have heard, the Penguin update was all about the links that point to your site from others (some of them may be bad links). The problem is you can’t really control all your links (the ones that you got in a natural way), but you need to do whatever possible to tweak the links you have control over. The interesting – and obvious for that matter – thing is that you need to keep an eye not only on the sites that you get links from, but you also should  monitor the percentage of your anchor text exact match keywords, because this factor can drastically influence your keyword rankings. And that’s exactly what I’ll start from.

  • Conditional Operators – Learning PHP for absolute beginners

    Road signsThe power of any programming language is all about making decisions based on user selection. Conditional operators (conditional statements) execute code only when certain condition is met. If the expressions inside the parentheses () evaluate to true, the code between braces {} is executed. If it is false, then the code between braces is skipped. It’s worth mentioning that the code which follows the closing brace } is executed in any case, ‘coz it’s not part of the conditional statement. Since the same principle is used throughout all programming languages, you can learn it in the PHP context and the apply the same skils, say, in JavaScript. Ain’t it cool? (more…)

    If you’ve ever performed a job for a web design client, you may have run into one guy that just made you want to pull your hair out due to the frustration he caused you in the process of communicating how to design his picture perfect business website. Sounds familiar? If you haven’t run into the type of guy that constantly gives you the runaround, you may just be lucky. Even if you haven’t run into the troublesome guy, you probably have run into the type of client that doesn’t really know what they want in a website.
