First off, I really love your logo! Makes the whole focus of the site stand out. The header images are also great. The layout and colorscheme is also nice, inviting and easy to read. I read an...

Thanks for the tip. I believe it should be able to handle it.

Hi Crunchie & kaninelupus

This is just FYI:

I downloaded and installed Google Chrome and Opera web browsers on one of my 'infected machines' - a desktop pc.

The first thing I did in both...

Just to be clear, is your web developer suggesting a full review of your current website which you want to update or the new updated version?

It would have been nice to see your current website...

Hi Kaninelupus, please clarify: start with a clean install of what?

Hi crunchie. OK, I'll do same and get back to you asap. Thanks

I'll inform you first (before I start), so you can guide me through the process again from the start.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback.

@Kaninelupus: The fact that 'something' hijacked my default search provider - for whatever reason - is what frightens me. Who knows what that 'something'...

@kaninelupus: the thought of the url seach behavious having an equivalent in Opera, or other browsers is frightening to me.
I sincerely hope not!

@crunchie: Please in case I want to try Opera,...

@kaninelupus: yes, thanks. I do quite often use both systems to work on a wordpress blog and both systems have similar software installed on them.

@crunchie: hi, nice to have you back. your...

If you have good quality content on your website, you should have no problems getting genuine backlinks in return. That's what I believe.

Hi Kaninelupus, thanks for your suggestion.

The laptop I'm using now has IE installed whilst the desktop is using Firefox and they're both having the same problem!!

So right now I have no...

Interesting question, especially now that Yahoo has teamed up with Microsoft.

But since Google is still #1 for now and might remain so for sometime to come, there's no need for me bothering to...

I would choose option 1 as your best bet. The other options 'seem' to me, would trigger a negative reaction from the big G.

IMHO and hoping I fully understand your questions, I don't think there's anything wrong in having different domains pointing to the same site.

Moreover its only obvious that your site would be #1,...

Hi Crunchie,

Sorry for the long silence and thanks for your assistance. Unfortunately my laptop that had the problem eventually got completely spoilt!

This was mainly as a result of the poor...

Hi Crunchie,

Thanks for your response.

Hello,

Please pardon me if I've made this post in the wrong forum and kindly direct me to the right forum, if need be.

My problem is as follows:

I noticed recently that when I type in a...

@cscgal: I agree with you there! Here's an article that I believe everyone can learn from: http://bit.ly/kmYqV

The best thing to do is to have good content on your site. There's no point striving to get to the first page/or #1 on Google if you don't have great content. Content is King as they say.

@guinanie: I agree.

when you actively participate in other forums and give sound advice you (and in extension, your forum) is bound to be noticed and soon other will be participating in yours.

@canadafred: Thanks for your clarification. It's a pity the way some think that SEO is something 'simple' you can attain overnight.

Whilst the knowledge for same is widely available on the net...

Interesting read.

@canadafred: I agree

So whilst a CMS does has it benefits, they're some that are a nightmare.

@Arunjit: I agree with you there. But I'm yet to come across the CMS that produces clean codes. Most of the ones I've used...

Please can anyone recommend a simple and easy to use CMS for users who're not web...

IMHO I'd suggest you use both of the great methods suggested above regardless of whether you regardless of whether you want natural links or not.

I like the clean look but I'm not thrilled about your logo. Nice concept and idea.

@semoweb: is it just me, or why does the entire site seem to be aligned to the right side of the browser! I'm not comfortable with this.

One thing you have going well for you is your domain name and you placed images that depict that domain name right from the start.

Apart from that everything else needs to be redesigned. Either...

I've been toying with the idea of using them but I've not really had the time to do so. Maybe I'll do so soon... who knows!
