Website Designers in Wexford, Ireland – Cada Media Ltd

Your digital footprint means whereby you have accounts on various websites and upload information about yourself and then maybe as time goes by forget about those sites but the information is still there.

An example is that many people started a Bebo webpage and uploaded images and video of their lives and left it there, months and years later it can still be displayed and also found on search engines.

Employers Google a name before a candidate comes in for an interview, if they see “Johnny in a mess at a party” picture they may not look upon this well as they will be thinking …. will he turn up on Mondays as he has a very busy social life at the weekends etc and might always be hung over……. You have been warned.

If you are wondering where your website is at the moment, or that when you run a search on Google that you are number 2 and then run the search again a hour later and you are on page 2 then you might get a shock alright.

It may be caused by the search engine reindexing their listings, Google.ie for instance have been changing it’s listing on a daily basis now for the past week.

Many of our enquiries are asking where the hell is my site!?!. They reindex a few times a year so it’s a normal function of many of the large Search Engines

www.Google.com
www.Live.com
http://ie.yahoo.com

We have had a few enquiries about the upload limits and time out on YouTube.com , If you are uploading to youtube.com note that the files you are uploading will be converted to yourtube format as they are uploading. This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the file size and duration of the video you are trying to upload.

Broadband connection speed will also depend on the rate of uploading, Most ISP’s will only have an upload speed of 300k even if you are on a 4mb package.

www.YouTube.com

We recommend using the out going mail server from your Internet Service Provider ISP, That is the company supplying your access to the net, the company that you get the broadband from:

• Imagine Briadband = mail.imagine.ie
• Perlico Broadband = mail.iolfree.ie
• Eircom = mail.eircom.net

Email system were not designed for sending large files, a system known as “ftp” File Transfer Protocol was set up for the moving of files across the interweb.

Nowadays that of course has gone out the windows as people are using emails for attachments, but if you have large files to send we might suggesting using a system such as www.YouSendIt.com

This site will allow you to send and receive very large amount of data.

Internet Register Ireland

This is a copy of an email and letter that is currently being sent to owners of domain names in Ireland.

This German company is asking owners of domains to send them €958 euro to get listed on their internet directory.

It is a SCAM and delete or shred it. The notice reads with the following text:

Order

We hereby place an order with DAD Deutscher Adressdienst GmbH (hereinafter: publisher) under the general terms and conditions of business cited overleaf, to publish the above details highlighted in the Internet Register Ireland, published by DAD GmbH. In addition to the sector, we have the opportunity of stating up to three search keys by which interested parties shall find us. The register contains Irish companies, self employed, organisations and public institutions with internet addresses and appears on the World Wide Web under www.internet-register-ireland.com. The advertisement costs 958 EUROS per annum and is payable in advance after issue of invoice. The order is valid for the next three years from the date of order, and is extended each time by another year, unless written notice to terminate has been given three months prior to the end of the term of contract.

Exclusive place of jurisdiction and performance is the registered place of business of the publisher.

Google will and can drop your website if the domain names expires. This is often the case when you forget to pay for the domain renewal. If your hosting or web development company sends you an invoice for “Renewal” pay attention to it.

Today we had a company call in asking why their website had “dissapeared”. We looked up who registered their domain and found that it was “suspended” as they had not paid their hosting company the renewal fee’s. As part of their terms and conditons they might have the clause to suspend services if they are not paid.

Note: If your website is “down”, many search engines will drop it from their listing. so all your hard work in SEO, link building, Web Marketing can go down the drain as Google could just drop you from No 1 on page one to last on Page 6.

Create search engine friendly content, gone are the days of inserting paragraphs of keywords to fool search engines into thinking the content o fhtat page was abut that topic.

Now they know the difference and will in fact penalise you for doing so (told ye!)

Write for people, knowing that search engines will be reading but remember to keep your keyword dessity to about 2%. If you are using the word too often in a sentence their algorythm will notice that you are writing crap just for them!

Don’t use flash, Google is still not good at reading text on an image, if you are inserting images then make sure to use “Alt Tags” on your images.

One of the essential items on the webiste is a sitemap, make sure you have one for search engines and for people to help them navigate around your site.

Another trend is to create what we call a

Landing page

This is where you create a page in a particular section of your site so that your key phrase will be pushed the most in that area. Think of it like creating a mini site for that topic. Don’t try to crap all your keywords onto one page.

Use you head, make sections and categories and then put the phrases into these. Search Engines want to help you index your site and its pages but if you have too much information on one page then it won’t know how to index you and how to list you in it’s listings.

One topic per page, Google for instance does prefer to have one topic per page, this way it can index you easily. If a web designer is charging per page thell them to feck off, they are trying to exploit this fact. It makes sense to split up your information and your readers will appreciate it too.

This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.

We got a call today from a business asking what this means, When we looked up their domain we were able to tell them that the hosting company they were using in the USA had suspended their account for non payment. They now have to track down the kid who registered their domain name get him to renew their domain.

They have an online shop, so basically they have been shut down, the business is now closed.

My advise again is to make sure that you get a professional full time web master / developer / company to register and host your website.

Our clients are contacted at least 30 days before their domain is due to expire and are offered a number of means of payment, both traditional and online methods. The ADMIN Contact for each client is their own Email address

If you are looking to move your website or change hosting company call Cada Media today to start the move, 053 9430748

What is Phishing? This is when a website is set up similar to a famous site and invites you to log in and update your details. Many Banks in ireland have had problems whereby someone has set up a website with a similar or mis-spelt domain that looks like the real address.

Real businesses do not contact you and ask you to update your details online. The method if like “Fishing”, they are just chancing their luck to see if they get a bite.

Delete these type of emails

If you are thinking about redesigning your website, the make sure to have a look at your site stats and look at how you should be redesign the site. Many people think about new colours, a fresh look etc, but think bigger.

• What are people looking for?
• Are you getting enough pageviews?
• Does your website have the information they want?
• Is it easy to navigate?

Rethink your website totally

• Is there a market for what your selling?
• Can they get the information easier else where?
• Will your service or product solve their problems?
• Where is the traffic coming from?
• Is the content effective?
• Does the website lead the viewer on the journey to contact you?

No matter what your thinking about think about us for more professional advice!

Yes and No. If you are registering a domain name in order to sell it on then we would not suggest doing this as it is seen as cyber squatting and is generally frowned upon. However saying that if you have a dot .ie registered to a company or business, then you can sell the company and the domain would transfer to the new owners of the company.

We have come across companies that have been set up only to register domains and then sell the company with the domain, even though no trading has actually taken place.  One company we know of set up over 50 sub-companies just to be able to sell the 50 irish domains they owned!

It didn’t work.

Alternatively you can point the domain name to another server if you wish to donate the name for a fixed agreed period.
