Google Launches Google Chrome Web Browser

September 2nd, 2008

As predicted and often blogged about over the last few years, Google officially announced it is ready to take on the browser market. For years, it’s been Internet Explorer or (IE) and Mozilla Firefox or (FF) as the main 2 contenders and to be honest, the latest version of FF has been a disappointment for me. Firefox 3 has crashed on more than one occasion and this could be attributed to plug-ins but, the error windows do not give an indication, it simply asks me if I want to report the error. » More: Google Launches Google Chrome Web Browser

Matt Cutts Interview – The Hidden Text Argument is Over

July 29th, 2008

I found this interview with Matt Cutts very interesting. Even after all of the backlash about Goolge’s section 508 compliance, it seems as though the debate about “hidden text” on a website is a confirmed killer of PageRank. For the last few years, there have been debates about the use of the hidden jump menu’s and other tactics used by Black Hatters and White Hatters, either way you choose to go, here it is from the horses mouth. Use hidden text at your own peril.

I also enjoyed the comment he made about Niche sites and starting small. I have been preaching that for years. Every time I have a client come in and say “I want to be #1 on Google when someone types in xxx”, I have to explain this.

Also, pay attention to the end of the interview when Matt is asked what he would do if he had more time on his hands.

Enjoy!

Make my Website #1 in Google!

May 14th, 2008

A good Search Engine Optimization or SEO strategy takes time, money and commitment.

I get asked for advice on making websites come up higher in search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN all the time. There is no one-size fits-all solution for this, if there were, everyone would be #1.

Simply put, Search Engine Optimization or SEO comes down to content (text) and structure (code).

When a client comes to Delaware.Net, Inc. for custom website design, we ask a lot of very pointed questions, we save the answers to those questions for later in our conversation and for the overall development of the website. » More: Make my Website #1 in Google!
