We’re Dedicated!

Filed under: News,tech — Tags: — Heather @ 10:09 pm

great news! We have leased a dedicated server to meet our growing need for space and speed. We will be moving all of our clients and services to our server very shortly. Faster load times for you, our clients, means that your clients, customers and potential customers will be able to access your site even quicker than before.

It also means that we have complete control of scripts and programs running. No more worrying about someone else’s poorly programmed code bringing down everyone else on the same server. (Not that it has ever happened, but now we don’t have to worry about it!)

If you have any questions or concerns about the big move, please feel free to contact me

Google Not Using Meta Tags

Filed under: tech — Tags: , , — Heather @ 3:47 pm

Finally official direct from Google confirmation that they are no longer using Meta Tag keywords to rank websites.  The article on the Google Webmaster Blog explains in detail and includes a video.

What this means is that you can still use Meta keywords in the background code of your site, but Google and other major search engines are not using them to index your site. What they will continue to use is the own algorythms based on the actual content of your website.

The article does recommend to continue to use the Meta description tag as Google still uses this when your site comes up in search as the description.
