the pattern

July 13, 2012 by

Every moment of every day you leave a trail…

Everything leaves something behind…

Even the smallest foot prints can be seen,..

Have you ever walked in the snow on a cold day?

What you see when you look behind you is a pattern of where you have been and what you have done.

      What if everything you do leaves a trail…

If you are missing this image you might be missing something important.

patterns make a different in how your website is developed online

In many ways, the way that modern metrics and website analytic’s, work can make or break your website.

The internet is much the same way, when you update a website, when you add a post, when you link to an image, everything you do leaves a trail to what you have been doing and it is this that can help or hurt your website development efforts.

The DNA of the internet is a fine grained thing, that is layered from within and without.

First you might want to know what the pattern is, well that is anything that leaves a foot print, or a pattern, that can be analyzed, by a computer.

Did you know that just about anything that you do can be attributed to a pattern, including what time of day you post to your blog.

We dont like spiders and snakes, ok sure we get that, but spiders can be your blogs best friend, more so when that spiders name is google, so just in case your not a super geek, here is the word on spiders.

Spiders are little robots, that search the web, and they go up and down and all around, looking for cool webpages, well like this one.   So when they find a nice website, they report back and they go all around the website, like strands on a web, and then it reports back all the pages and links, like a web and what do spiders like best, lots of webpages.

So now you can see a little bit about how spiders work, to find your website and report back to the mother spider, in this case google about what it found when it views your website.

It checks all kinds of things, when the last post was made, what the content was it found, the time of day, the last post was made, yep it gets all kinds of information and it starts developing a pattern after a while it knows just when to check back to your website to see when it expects to find new content.

Yes that are that smart.

So now you know what developing a pattern may be a good and a bad thing, because what if you dont update your website as often as you should well then the spider will not visit your website as often.

That is bad, because if the spider does not come very often to see if your website has new content then your search results will not get into the search engines as often.

The more your website gets updated the more visitors the nice and friendly spider will send you.

You want more and more visitors to your website since without visitors things get old and dusty and well its just not as fun then.

Perhaps you can see how important it is to keep your website updated on a regular basis and why you want to keep the spiders happy.

So what about the pattern, well there are two patterns, one is good the other is bad.

We already discussed the good pattern, you know keeping the spider happy so they send you lots of visitors to your frequently updated webpages.

So lets talk about the bad patterns, that would be patterns that the spiders identify that tells them that your website is not really spider friendly.

here is a list, that we found seems to be good to avoid.

1. not enough updates, webpages are never updated and just sit there.

2. auto blog content,  auto posters that develop patterns, over and over, (spiders hate auto posters)

3. No new content, just the same old content from all over the web, (spiders hate “duplicate” content)

Some people think that auto posters are lazy and in fact they really are lazy, but worse than that, if the spiders figure out that your website is an auto posting website, they will stop coming to your site, or worse they will decide that your website is not worth the trouble of visiting.

Then your in real trouble, because no matter how hard you work on your website, no matter how much money you spend on it, no matter how many ebook you buy and no matter how many Gurus tell you to do this or that it will not matter.

Because you developed the wrong pattern.

See how this works, the problem is that developing the right patterns can be work, you have to actually type words onto your computer to get it on the website.

That is work, We figure that it should be that way, because really there is no free lunch, (someone has to pay) either you pay now or you pay later, we figure its best to develop the good pattern.

What do you think?

Four things you should know

December 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment

There are many more things that you should be aware of when
developing wordpress websites.These four are important to your
wordpress websites success.

There are literally thousands of wordpress websites all competing for the same or some of the same niches.

1. Why your website must be different and unique.

2. What Pattern recognition software means to your websites success.

3. Updated content makes a huge difference to how your website is listed in the search engines.

4. Quality content and why it is the most over looked venue for bringing in new customers to your business.

Developing a website is not as easy as paying a small monthly fee for hosting or as easy as uploading a few HTML file or PHP file and clicking a few buttons, while it may seem that way when your looking at some advertising aimed at the non technical crowd, you might have seen that same advertising where they show you a nice website and say its easy and its only $4.95 per month, well yes, I suppose it is easy but it also does not work.

In the end if you purchase a $4.95 cent website, that is  what you will get a $4.95 cent website.

Lets talk about why your website must be different and unique not like thousands of other websites.

People want different, they want something that provides a great user experience, and they want something that others may not even know exists.

This is why your website should be different and unique because if people have a choice which one do you think they will choose, the millions of websites that all look the same or the few websites that make a unique presentation and provide a unique experience.

Pattern Recognition and what it can mean to your website.

What does pattern recognition have to do with how successful you website might become?

Simple, it is what drives many of the larger search engines, patterns are everywhere, everything you do and everything you see leaves behind a pattern.

That pattern is what Google looks at when it begins to decide how important your website should be in the search engines.

why install wordpress manually

October 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Update, it is been reported that “certain” Internet Gurus are still

recommending that people use an auto installer, or root level automatic script installer to install wordpress this is

a horrible idea and should never, ever be done…

Why take the time to install wordpress manually?

Simple it is Safer, more secure and just a good practice to be able to manage your wordpress installation in a better more friendly manner.

Manually installed wordpress websites as less likely to be hacked.

One of the many reasons why you should always install wordpress manually is that using an automated script is never a good idea.

  1. You loose control of the process of installation.
  2. You do not know what the automated script is doing in the background.
  3. Automation users default install condition and leaves a trail that people can follow.
  4. It leaves your wordpress installation open to attack and corruption by hackers.

I have seen many people try to defend these automated installation solutions but after all the logic of the arguments concerning the four reasons above cannot be argued with.

Simply put, when you look at the above reasons, there is no defense for using an automated script to install wordpress.

 

One final reason and this one is the most important of all these reasons.

When Fantastico and other automatic scripted installers are used they operate at a level above that of the ordinary user they have to do this in order to have enough permissions to install and create folders, for example lets say your website is being installed under /public_html/wordpress this is fine as long as you are the user that is installing the website.

However if fantastico is used then it exists as /root/script/username/public_html/wordpress  Now this usually is not a problem but sometimes you may run into a situation where you have to make some changes to a folder or to write to a directory such as with say a custom plugin, well in some cases if you have used fantastico guess what happens you cannot make some changes because your not the owner of those directories, (root/script/ is the owner) so this is the most important reason why everyone should be installing wordpress manually it only takes a short while to learn it and just like riding a bicycle after a while you get good at it and you never forget it.

Think about converting over to a manual install it could be the best few minutes you ever spend learning a skill.
