    Interspire to Magento migration

    Source Code: SEO

    It's form code for a dropdown list. If it is in there for no reason, or there are bits missing, it is likely to be left there by mistake.

    How risky is a redesign? Anyone experience this?

    If you're just updating the looks (the template files of a Joomla site) it is unlikely to damage your rankings if you are using a good developer. They may even be able to improve your rankings by using valid HTML and CSS, assign alt and title tags to images, and other stuff like that (if you...

    Domain Registration

    I agree with totalwebsolutions. That is the best approach. If your in a position where it is "too late" though, try taking it up with Nominet. I've had to handle domains on clients behalfs a few times and they have always been good.

    Domain Registration

    This is good advice. If you are on good terms with your web developer though, you can also politely request for them to transfer the domain name to yourself if they did register it for you. Another thing to do is ask your graphic designer/print company to send you the master illustator (AI)...

    The price of hosting?

    It really depends on the amount of bandwidth and disk space you are using. Do you have any ideas of these figures? What I've done for clients is gzip and cache website content to reduce bandwidth by about 70%. Maybe that is something you can look into for reducing costs if your bandwidth usage...

    3 Basic questions about my First PPC campaign!!

    Woah, careful. Don't just keep throwing money at it. There's more to PPC than most people think. Obviously the placement on your ad depends quite a bit on the strength and wealth of your opposition, but you can improve your ad placement without needing to increase your budget. Your ads have...

    vBulletin or Phpbb forum software?

    Not really as cost might be a factor, but oh well. lol :p I've used vBulletin, phpBB, SMF, proboards, invisionboard.. probably the lot actually. lol. vBulletin was very good but I hated how they changed the pricing structure and how it affected their community/userbase. phpBB v2 was excellent...
