How much server overhead there is when PHP if statements are evaluated, i.e. memory consumption and CPU usage? I've searched around and didn't find anything that definitively answered this question. For example, if I have a WordPress blog and use a lot of if statements for each post summary...

I have been using the noscript tag to provide a warning to users who have JavaScript disabled or who use script blocking plugins like Noscript on one of the websites I run. After the latest Google shuffle, I have seen the daily traffic drop to about 1/3 of what it was in the previous months. I...

It would be difficult to prove in court exactly how much revenue they cost me. However, their Terms of Service is pretty clear cut, and that they are refusing to pay me even though i was in compliance with their TOS is a good case.

I wish I had been warned before wasting all that time with Kontera. Plus, they probably cost me lost revenue due to having my site broken by their tags.

"confidence horror show" :D too funny If you care what people think about you and want to look good while doing your web design, get a Mac. There is really not much difference between the two in regards to developing websites. I own a MacBook and a Dell XPS M1330 and I use both to work on my...

Even after filing a report with the Better Business Bureau, Kontera is still refusing to pay my account balance. I honored the contract, as set forth in their terms of service, and gave 30 days notice before removing the tags from the website. Yet, they are claiming that I breached the contract...

Linux should be in this equation. I have used Ubuntu for the past couple years as my primary operating system and there are many powerful and freely available tools that make my life easier as a web developer. The KDE Web Dev suite is very useful, especially KLinkStatus and KFileReplace...

I have read a couple of articles that correlate bounce rate and search engine performance (at least for Google). I'm trying to figure out what exactly is considered a bounce and some other stuff, so I made a list of questions: 1. What is the duration for a single page visit until it is no...

I have a site that has many pages. The site is regularly updated. Sometimes pages need to be replaced with entirely new content because the old content expired. In this case, the title, content and URL all need to change. Because there are so many new pages being added, the 301 redirects would...

Well. I decided to change the domain name and go with a non-hyphenated one. Now the site is: Coupons Cha-Ching

Hmm... I just ran a ping (it is different in Ubuntu terminal). It has gone through 80 pings and they have all come back with the new server and ~75ms response time. It does seem like propagation is taking longer than usual. Been through server moves a dozen times and it never took this...

Thank you for the info. I am running Ubuntu Linux. Since the last post, Opera has started working again.

Here is the website: http://couponsdealuxe.com If you are seeing the site, then you are getting the new server. If you are seeing an empty public_html folder with nothing in it except cgi-bin folder, it is the old server.

It is really bizarre. I thought that one of the browsers might be caching DNS. I just finished a complete reboot, then a complete clear of Opera cache. Opera is pulling from the old server and Firefox is pulling from the new server. This has happened at least 10 times over the past two days. And...

Recently I moved a site to a new hosting company. After pointing the name servers to the new host, the site has been switching back and forth between the old server and the new server. I know that it takes 24-48 hours to fully propagate. Here's the strange thing. Sometimes I get the old...

I have a domain name that can be entered with or without hyphens and decided to go with the hyphenated version because I it would be better for SEO to have the keywords distinct. I also have the domain without hyphens. I added the non-hyphenated URL to my hosting as a parked domain and then...

I thought that 301 redirects were "friendly" meaning that they pass pagerank etc. But perhaps that is just when using internal 301 redirects.

I have split off an existing section of site and decided to create a new website that expands on that section. I want to move the old section to the new website. For SEO purposes, is it better to leave the old section on the first site and then add links to the corresponding pages that point...

I'd like to add a drop-down menu on themebot.com. It needs to be light-weight and accessible for search engines. I've looked at Suckerfish, Suckerfish variations and other CSS-based drop down menus but I haven't found a technique that will work for this specific situation: 1. The first...

looks like the domain company shut down the domain that they were using to forward to their school's hosting. but you can still visit their site directly: http://boskone.lboro.ac.uk/~masc5/
