Google+ might not be as large as Facebook (will it ever be?), but it is certainly gaining a lot of traction with the tech community. For one I already have more connections on Google+ after a couple of weeks using it than on Facebook after a couple of years.
Anyway a feature that you don’t have on Google+ yet is the search one. What if you want to find… Continue reading
When something looks too good to be true, it usually is. People who remember this motto tend to avoid many headaches in life.
Around one year ago many readers started to email me asking what I thought about .co.cc domain names, as they were being offered for free by the company who controls their registrations. My reply was that using such domains as test websites was OK, but that… Continue reading
Over the past six months or so I started relying more and more on Google AdSense as a source of income. In fact today it represents close to 50% of my total income (the other 50% comes from my own products and affiliate marketing).
Why is that? For several reasons, including:
A website refers to a compilation of Web pages that can be typically accessed through a software package, commonly known as a Web browser (one example is the HTTP on the Internet). These pages, which are essentially documents that are in the HTML or XHTML format (HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language), are accessed from a ‘common root URL’ – or the website’s homepage (as most people know it)… Continue reading
Google is a name that almost everyone in the world knows and they should, as the world’s most widely used search engine. Many people throw up a website for different reasons and believe that is the end of it. The internet contains so much information that it would take a person several lifetimes to read a fraction of the information, it needs the best organization possible. This task has been… Continue reading
For those of you who thought this was the end of nominal PageRank updates, well, it was not. Google is rolling a new update right now. Some people started noticing it yesterday, and I believe the ups and downs will continue over the weekend.
The last update had been on April 2010, so around nine months ago. That is quite a long time, especially if you consider at some… Continue reading
As you already noticed, each web analytics software, ad network and traffic estimation service (e.g., Compete, Alexa, Quantcast) will report a different number.
Why is that the case? Because what represents a unique visitor and a page view to your website is subjective (i.e., each service and software has its own criteria for deciding when a visit and a page load happens). For example, some services and software count… Continue reading
Despite Google having improved its search technology a lot over the past few years, sometimes you`ll still get non relevant results in the first page, right?
If you search for dolphins, for example, half of the results will probably be about the Miami Dolphis, a football team, while the other half will be about real dolphins, the animal. How do you solve this problem?… Continue reading
If you want to perform a quick malware check on yours or any other website, you can use the Google Safe Browsing tool. You just need to visit the URL below and change the domain name in the end:

The little tool will tell you if Google has detected malware on the website, how many pages were tested over the past 90 days, and how many… Continue reading
As bloggers, our most valuable asset is time. We can spend it on writing useful content, promoting our blogs, networking and so on.
Yet we also need to check stats, moderate comments, use social media and so on, and these tasks tend to suck a large part of our time. For example, if I want to check my earnings, I will have to go to 3 or 4 different… Continue reading
