Matt Cutts joined Google as a Software Engineer in January 2000. Since then he has been known for his outspoken blog, his attempts to tackle unhealthy link spam. He has a lot of article on his blog related to IT and software engineering. And some good tips he can offer on keeping a tidy inbox for those who like him receive hundreds of emails every day.

First of all he advises to have some email managing tools at hand. Other things are in control of anyone with a little time and patience. You have to proclaim and filter ruthlessly e-mails that appear as spam and always report them. Also go through your contact lists and see if some of the contacts should also go to the trash folder. Delete emails you don’t need to reply to. Try not to check you e-mail too often. Chances are the more mail you get the more ruthless and organized you will be in deciding what’s in and what’s out. Check your e-mail once a day unless you are waiting for an important one. Try and make sure your mail client always shows you threads on the same topic. You can mark them by color-coding or other ways available. Matt Cutts knows what he’s talking about.

Compromising in web design

July 16th, 2010

2245-main_temp1

Web designers as well as professional software consultants, like all other IT specialists, have to work hard as a team together with their clients. It’s the basis of a good business relationship and it guarantees a high quality end product at the finish line. When, for instance, the designer has planned the page and the client hasn’t prepared the content for it, it’s best not to out the page up with the ‘under construction’ sign but to have it done when the information it will be filled with is ready. The designer has to be flexible and not follow the wishes of a client blindly because sometimes these can work against the productivity of the website and its popularity with the users. If the client wants music in the background, high-res images and lots of media files the designer will be obliged to provide all this but he can give the user a choice in the matter by making it easy for the user to have the sound switched off, videos stop from loading or even offer a variant of the page for slow connections. This way everyone will be happy and the client will have his wishes fulfilled without sacrificing the good experience of users. The same may be said about sharepoint customization - the option the majority of clients aren’t aware of but this is essential because everyone wants to store and backup important information without any slightest chance of losing it.

More of web design faux pas

Posted in Web development  by admin
June 28th, 2010

Last time we talked about the don’ts of web design. A short blog entry wasn’t enough to even begin that big topic but let us continue at least on some important notes. It’s amazing how big companies that sell luxurious products costing huge amounts of money, have terrible websites. They are stylish and posh, they have elegant splash welcome pages and beautiful intros with classical music for soundtrack. They have a grand way of listing products and presenting them to the customer, but when it comes to functionality they are good for nothing. These sites have high pretentions but poor presentation. So here are some more don’ts and it doesn’t matter if you are making a site for a world-famous designer or a tiny shop. Don’t make internal links pop up into new windows. Let your visitors choose the way they want to view your pages. Don’t tolerate dead links and self-referential links on your page. Check your site for broken links once every few months. Don’t put up a site if it’s not ready. Pages with ‘Under Construction’ signs are a nuisance. They scream of amateurism and neglect. Get unfinished parts of your site ready and then make them live. Don’t use high-res images that waste your users’ loading time. Hire professional corporate web designers to help you with the idea. Keep those in mind, you’ll do fine.

Safe computer repairs

When it comes to getting your computer repaired it is first a good idea to find a good Ventura computer repair that will be affordable and high quality at the same time. You can be sure to ask people who understand a lot in computers for a place they can recommend: to install something or to tune wireless networking in Ventura. Many places are advertised as very good which is not necessarily the case. Some technicians will charge a lot for testing the computer for errors already, other, however, will perform a check free of charge. Before you phone, check the website of a repairs shop and see what offers they have for your case and how soon the work will be done even if your desire is to remove spyware in Ventura. In some cases firms take as long as two weeks to simply clean a clogged up laptop, which means you will waste money on renting a machine for this period of time. Discuss in details how much you will pay and what time it will take to fix the problem. Never agree to make a payment after the job is done. Over the years there even have been cases when firms ‘fixed’ computers and when the owner refused to pay, they told them ‘they can break it back’. Make sure this doesn’t happen to you.

Digital Marketing Agency vs Simple SEO Solutions

Posted in Uncategorized  by admin
December 4th, 2009

In my past three years working as a SEO specialist, I discovered that Google really is right when saying “write content for humans and Google will love it”.
Content is indeed the King, let me describe on an example.

There was that travel company, they had a website SEO’d for a good phrase but couldn’t get to first page, due to insufficient links. They employed a SEO company and that company started link building for them. After a few months the website jumped up in rankings a bit. Sadly this wasn’t enough to get past the competition as they had more links coming from authority websites.

When they came to us asking for help, we developed a digital marketing strategy for them, creating a buzz on the internet, on blogs, forums, sometimes via paid posts, sometimes via creating really good quality articles about destinations in the town where the travel company was based and where they wanted the traffic to go.
The whole buzz and persona linking created, drove more webmasters to link to the website and to the page with regional news that the website in next 4 months gained 5th position and then 3 months after that they were no.1 for their phrase.

For more ideas on digital marketing and seo sussex visit www.bozboz.co.uk.

They are still a client today, and I believe there’s lessons to be learnt here, quality links and viral marketing are always better than just link building.
