    New forum url migration good - well done!

    I haven't participated on these forums for ages - I do miss the arguments! - but I got the email about the new forum, so I thought I'd check it out. Very well done on the migration, especially the urls and redirecting old style forum urls to the new style urls, so that old links to forum...

    How to find a website designer / developer?

    I'd like to add to the confusion by also saying there is a difference between a HTML/CSS web developer coder and a software developer coder. HTML and CSS are page layout coding languages, mainly determining "what a page looks like", whereas other coding languages like PHP, SQL, Javascript are...

    Thank God It's Christmas (Queen cover song)

    I recorded my first album of 12 original songs last year in my humble DIY home studio (the free preview is in lo fi mp3 quality). Again nothing fancy, just solo acoustic to get the songs out. Yep, I have heard of Tommy Emmanuel, but he is one of the "guitar greats", and I, with my...

    Thank God It's Christmas (Queen cover song)

    Sirearl, I started off with a Yamaha acoustic, didn't like it, traded up to an Ovation electro acoustic, OK but still thought it was wasted on me for my particular style (I don't use picks) and not such a good pickup, so downsized to my current no-brand guitar which I like very much and has what...

    Thank God It's Christmas (Queen cover song)

    Merry Christmas UKBF! Time Out! It's not all work, work, work! Here's some guitar strumming I do in my spare time, a live solo acoustic guitar cover of Queen's Thank God It's Christmas, performed live over 3 consecutive nights last week in pubs in Northampton and Wellingborough. As the song...

    Google Zeitgeist 2012 (what people search for)

    I've just been browsing over the Google Zeitgeist searches for 2012 , Google's yearly publication of what are the most popular searches for that year, worldwide and on a country basis. The main odd thing I've found so far is Mcdonalds.Fr was the 5th most popular search in France! Which...

    Performing Rights Society - Is there a legal obligation to join?

    Not everyone Paul, and I always find it interesting to hear what you have to say on this extremely complex and confusing issue. Keep up the good work!

    How to look for a software developer

    I suggest you start virtual networking on LinkedIn and getting back in touch with your old colleagues. At LinkedIn it seems to be a small world when it comes to the old boy banking/development network. I used work as a software developer at banks mainly in the 90s (both retail banks and...

    Google Update Their Webmaster Quality Guidelines

    IMO what is also crying out to be nofollowed (or better still switched off for free members) is the link in the popup menu under the user's profile link for each post, the "Visit usernames homepage" link. This is available to all members, even the free ones, and may be one reason why this site...

    Pagerank > Edgerank, SEO > FEO, Google paid ads > Facebook paid posts

    I was referring more to the algorithm facebook use in the display of normal newsfeed content, as opposed to the algorithm used for ads. On top of that, yes facebook are pushing facebook page owners to use ads too. The fishy thing is that facebook page owners with not many likes are encouraged...

    New Top Tips to Improve Your Web Presence

    I'll try to keep this high level... I think the key phrase here is "web presence", and understanding that your "web presence" is far bigger than merely just your "web site". Web presence is how you interact with your audience or potential audience as a whole over the web, and may include many...

    Pagerank > Edgerank, SEO > FEO, Google paid ads > Facebook paid posts

    Apologies for not picking up on this earlier, but I've just found an interesting article on Facebook Edgerank (May 2012), how Facebook determines what appears in a person's news feed. I only found the article after hearing a couple of companies on facebook commenting today on how facebook are...

    Exact Match Domains - Who is feeling the pain?

    Yes it's a difficult stat to ponder over. You also have to ask yourself questions like what percentage of all the domain names indexed have search keywords in them, what percentage of searches have possible domains with keywords in them too. Matt's "small percentage" of 0.6% could actually mean...

    Exact Match Domains - Who is feeling the pain?

    Heh heh, "trainset" ... I like that. It also got me thinking of "gravy train", and "band wagon". FWIW, I haven't seen much change with my exact match domains. Matt Cutts tweeted that the change only affected a small percentage of searches - "affects 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable...
