Birmingham Riots 2011

The riots haven’t made me particularly angry for some reason, but what has been making me angry is hearing some of the comments bandied about in response to the riots. Comments which seek to excuse the behaviour of the ‘rioters’ (read looters).

How Much Traffic Is Enough?

Alexa Traffic Ranking Tool

You’ve had your website designed (tick).

It looks beautiful, it looks professional, and it’s easy to navigate (tick)

It has been built by a professional web developer and as such is capable of achieving a good search engine ranking, and has not been built in a way that would harm your chance of ranking highly (tick)

You launch your site and soon enough after a bit of optimisation work and online marketing you’re getting 1000 unique visitors a month; sit back and watch the orders come flooding in. No. That won’t happen. No, No, No. Read the rest of this entry »
