    Profiling Web Host Server Info

    Yes, like that. The PCI scan will be far more than I'm looking for. The thing I looked at before had additional SEO info about the site being queried. How much more server capability info it had... ah, heck, I can't remember - it maybe didn't have any more than your example. I'd rather not...

    Profiling Web Host Server Info

    Not the faintest bit interested, nor any idea why I'd want to gain illegal access - truely. Some time ago I came across in the logs to my own website a crawler with a url (I'm convinced it was Italian but with my memory...) which linked to a kind of 'whatis' lookup for the server... told you...

    Profiling Web Host Server Info

    Hi. What I'm trying to find out is... a website has been designed by a company and is being hosted by yet another company. I'm pretty certain it's a streaming server because the movies are very fluid though they're bound up in a Flash front end. (As far as I'm aware Flash cannot 'stream' video...

    CMS, or... do you like the updating facility on your website?

    Thanks for these responses. The 'Free' aspect is important, as well as the SEO. I want something to enable me developing my web "presence" to the 'next level' whatever that is - moving key sites on a bit. It's more an exercise in visual 'persona' and 'impression' than shopping carts or...

    CMS, or... do you like the updating facility on your website?

    Whether you've a web site you have CMS (Content Management System) with, or you produce CMS websites, you can give a view here. It's a bit of an informal survey on my part, as I'm considering migrating a low-tech site I have into a blog-cum-site.. yeah, I know, well anyway. Question.... If you...

    how important is it to have a .co.uk??

    Thanks for that link. So as a Spanish company selling authentically Spanish lifestyle products with a huge market in England... it wouldn't make much sense setting the geo targetting for the .es (the most restricted TLD apparantly - odd), targetting .es to the UK because the setting wouldn't be...

    how important is it to have a .co.uk??

    Webmaster Tools interface (not Google Analytics just for anyone else getting confused). Under list beginning "Dashboard" is "Site Configuration". Under that is "Settings". Top of the resulting screen: Geographic target .... hum, just clicked on: "Learn more" I've never clicked on it before...

    Doorway pages

    Yes, hands up here too. I've stated I'm a "one-site-done-well" promoter. And that's correct. However, I'm currently experimenting - exploring - the pros and cons of supporting, enhancing, strengthening an online presence with other "content locations" as I'm thinking of them. My main site is...

    how important is it to have a .co.uk??

    Interesting that Google offer geo targetting in their Webmasters tools regardless of the domain.... so... conclusion from what you're saying: they don't actually honour the promise implicit in offering the feature if you want to target Britain from a Spanish domain name.

    Doorway pages

    This is an interesting area and I'll say upfront I'm more your 'sceptical curious observer" than an expert. I believe in the "one site done well" philosophy. Anyway, my two-penny worth... The thing about a Hub site in order to be 'genuine' is that it needs to have incoming links too. You don't...

    Facebook, can I look at your business page?

    Yes.. Facebook 'Pages'. I got exasperated with one and if you search about there's a fair amount of criticism about them. You might be better setting up a Facebook 'Group' instead. I believe from looking into this that Facebook are reluctant to properly support/develop 'Pages' because I think...

    What are your thoughts on this as an SEO technique?

    The single most effective way to get your site to the top of the listing is to update the content regularly (Yes, the longevity of a site is a factor, but freguency of update trumps pretty much everything). The sites that are coming in above yours.. research their web presence paying attention...

    .co.uk or .com ?

    Indeed, I believe you're right about "commercial", though the association-in-use of .com is effectively USA now. I did say: "Search engines will bias their results...". Perhaps it was a bit lost and unclear: the dot suffixes shouldn't be considered region specific - but search engine behaviour...

    Looking at getting website remade. Could do with some points to brief designers pleas

    Hi - my immediate reaction is that only serious atheletes are your buyers. True? That's what your home page says to me. Key visual point is too much. Your home page needs to be a lot simpler... a lot... the two pictures at the top, perhaps a more 'ordinary' sportswoman/man (if they are your...

    .co.uk or .com ?

    No you don't NEED a .com to be worldwide. All dot whatevers can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Search engines will bias results to the appropriate region of the world though: ie: .com to the US., .co.uk to the UK, etc. However, you can ask google to favour a specific region and change...
