    Important in page optimization

    Title's pretty important if only because Google basically ignores different pages with the same title (even if they have different content). I recently realised this and have made significant gains on our SERP placements by setting unique title tags on every single page of my site.

    New Link Building Techniques

    My current link building tactics mostly centre around social bookmarking and forum posts - that combined with good old fashioned 'I'll link to you if you link to me' e-mails.

    Visitors IP address to country

    Maxmind's GeoIP has a very nice API for doing this kind of thing.

    Top 10 Worst Captchas

    No, I just spent ages doing some funky things to make my captcha interesting rather than just another annoyance - this is a thread about annoying captchas, I'm quite proud of mine and was looking for some feedback to reassure me that spending time to make a good captcha was in some way...

    Ideas how to popularize blog?

    Most important thing - write good content, and network with other bloggers. The rest should handle itself.

    Tip: - Migrating MySQL Databases

    One technique which probably isn't recommended but has worked fine for me - simply copy the actual data files (normally in /var/db) from one server to another. As long as you're running the same version of MySQL on the same architecture it works fine. As a web host, when you're transferring...

    Is PHP a powerful tool?

    PHP is indeed a powerful too, and very easy to use too. In fact that's probably its biggest weakness - it's too easy. The PHP developers have historically made some pretty big mistakes in the name of ease-of-use which have later come back to bite them as security holes. (I'm thinking...

Remember that it's not just the content in the page that's...

    Still Using Inline Styles?

    I'm the same - I often develop my code with CSS inline (this is particularly helpful when you're working on AJAX). Then move them out to a separate CSS file afterwards. The only time I leave inline styles in place is when they're required for the scripting I'm doing - when working with a...

    Site with all text content contained within images

    Hi, I've been working on an interesting project recently - I'm building my personal portfolio (slinq.com) and decided I wanted to use a font that isn't included in the standard set of "Web fonts". While IE supports a hacky way of sending a font file to the browser, this doesn't work in other...
