Yesterday was a long day of work
it ended this morning around 10 AM ..
;-)
and now it's past 1 PM again - time to work ..
actually before sunrise i was ready to fall asleep
but since days I had an upgrade for the
LoveCards
in my mailbox and since Christmas time is starting - also LoveCards use
is growing up for
Christmas cards and just to say I love you
as a preparation for the actual inner Christmas of Love - to get in
peace with all and to be loved again by all with have excluded from our
heart.
NOW - the LoveCards software is fully upgraded - later on i may add
another few language modules - one for Hebrew and another one for Japanese,
but i have first to check whether both new modules are really complete
and compliant with a multi lingual display of moder Internet.
As you can see the link to the Chat room for Love and Romance is added
in above navigation menu for this loveblog. The link also appears in one
of the forums and later i may insert it on all forums. An attempt to
create an easy and efficient global solutions for all forums failed on
my lack of perl expertise. May be Norbert from
perlprojects.net
can help out ? He did so recently with my access.pl module i use for
real time server access control for quality feedback and instant bug
fixing whenever a problem or page not found error 404 occurs or any
other problem that needs asap fixing.
Also i was busy most of night in improving the HTML code of the forum
software itself -
BUT
there is never a near chance to ever get that commercial software nearly
validated for HTML4.01 !!
modern software requirements are complex and need sometimes dynamically
created URLs that contain illegal characters inside the URL and each of
such characters is complained about in the validation output from w3.org ...
I reduced the errors from some 800+ errors for the index page of one
forum to some 600+
so
if ever YOU happen to be a software developer to create any tool that
creates a web page - either created by php or perl or anything else -
the first job would be to have a long study of w3c validation
requirements to end up with a fully validated page - for all pages
dynamically created or else you risk that such product has limited
success as a result of limited index-ability by major bots / crawler
from search engines.
any page that is published apparently is worth the time, efforts and
money spent to publish it,
hence
it also needs to be found
anything valuable needs to be published - but publishing only makes
sense if all data are presented in a w3c conform structure - fully
validated - in combination with maximum SEO is the best guarantee to be
found by the seekers in this www world.
I had a long look at the huge perl code of the forums
and i could change lots or most of the problems that create these many
validation errors - but there are some generic problems that would
require re-writing the code itself from scratch with just SEO and
validation in mind. something that would be the job of the company or
person who creates the commercial software package for the forums ...
because else i end up with each software upgrade to manually implement
my own fixes again into the original upgrade package - like i had in the
case of my LoveCards - i full upgrade by replacing never would be possible
too many fixes and add on have not been incorporated by the software
developer by the last time i checked.
so each upgrade requires hours or days of work.
and testing ...
i am happy to have my broadband here since more than a week - the last
several days i enjoyed seamless uptime from my broadband-provider
digitel
and just as i wanted to setup a link to one of the Philippines major
telephone providers
i searched Google
and found nothing at all among the top SERPS
everybody here knows digitel as such
i found out the domain is
http://www.digitelone.com/
and that is a frameset leading to the actual content
http://www.digitelone.com/content.html
and if you too look at their code
no need to try to validate
there is no service able to validate
and there is NO bot able to cleanly index such a website
like SOOO many corporate sites
this one is a potential candidate for an award to be created for the
worst SEO design on this globe
another corporate site is acer with all their domains i have seen ..
http://www.acerpanam.com
for the support questions i needed for my acer travelmate 6003 LCi
but before i tried at
http://www.acer.com.ph
and
http://global.acer.com
btw
global.acer.com has one of the most funny description meta tag I have seen. Today it reads:
meta name="description" content="This is the description of this page"
so how ever could I have found my acer solution @ acer website if THEY
have no idea what they have
the description is what they KNOW to have or KNOW to do
may be they all leave it up to Michael Schumacher's Ferrari and his
global popularity to be found ...
but Michael and his Ferrari IS good because they BOTH learned to BE good
and worked HARDER than most ever will on this entire planet to achieve
what they did and do best !
to be GOOD is possible by all
to be TOP is possible to YOU as well
if YOU invest ALL that is needed to achieve YOUR goal
whatever that goal might be
and if you invest
all money needed
all efforts needed
all time needed
all research needed
all education needed
all testing needed
all improvements needed
to get to the top of YOUR specialty God gave YOU
and
to be top and remain top
may be one day someone of Acer may find THIS post ( i emailed them of
course first ) and may do something
may be when they are # x down the market ?? then wake up and start to
improve - to be found after Michael is retired ... later
or may be SOON ?
ONE single true professional in ONE major company would be good enough
to start
then that one could forward and share HIS expertise internally to save
money if that is the point for such a global leader in laptops ...
If I would be CEO
i would send 2-3 of ever domain - of every branch to such workshops
somewhere nearby or where ever they think to get most out for their $
may be a combined incentive/workshop/holiday/recreation-vacation
for the top employees in each branch
to instantly learn all
then forward all to all in all branches
to give all to all
to make all strong experts
to make all feel like experts
to make all feel happy and having fun
because being good at your job is fun
and fun is another aspect of being happy
no work without fun
or it is slavery work - just for the sake of $ making
waiting all life time for retirement
then coming here to the Philippines
and getting drunk every day - starting before i even stop working the
previous day ...
but acer for their web design and others as well,
they use what NEVER should be used at all BEFORE you have become an
expert yourself FIRST
according to their meta-tags they use
meta name="keywords" content="Acer, Template, WebVI"
with
meta content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0" name=GENERATOR
apparently somebody from both above or both made a mistake ...
somebody forgot to learn first and control the templates and quality-control every bit and byte that generator is generating !!
the result for digitel ...
instead of being #1 in the Philippines
digitel ends up number something downhill
so
if YOU are a web designer
NEVER use templates
NEVER use tools to design web sites for ANYTHING that is of any real importance - unles you KNOW wht the tools are doing and can QUALITY-CONTROL your working tools' output and results of any kind !!
whenever families, income of part of population or the benefit of an
industry depends on a web site
then THAT website should be made and verified and re-check and bug-fixed
by a professional human !
whenever you USE tools to ease your web design work,
YOU FIRST have to learn and know FROM SCRATCH all whatever your tools
are doing
you have to KNOW if the tools are doing a good job
you have to validate pages
look at them
\KNOW about SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
a site either is top
or hop
a business goes UP
or broke
like so many huge corporations globally
sometimes only because they wanted to MAKE profits
without ever caring for quality
quality needs to be present even in their web site
a web site may cost easily many ten thousand $ to create if it is a
large corporate web site with many modern tools and CMS and data bases ...
but the few thousand $ for an intense SEO workshop always is cheaper and
in all ways a better deal than to bankruptcy later on due to lack of
overall popularity of a company
a company has two ways to get popular
by expensive newspaper, TV and radio commercials
OR
by smart low cost SEO web design !!
the first choice certainly costs something like 10 to 100+ times more
than proper Internet popularity created simply by having a site where
each page can be found when search for any particular service or
products or components THAT company is offering.
so the conclusion is
BOTH companies
acer Philippines AND digitel needed urgently an intense workshop to
learn about web design and apply it.
but of course
such corporate web sites may take a few weeks real time observation
during development by its original in-house web designers to modify just
about all
templates if they use some
and all tools and CMS they apply to create pages or links
links ...
did you move over the links on
http://www.digitelone.com/
??
just about all appears to go wrong
many 404 errors
and funny behavior of the mouse pointer when moving over the page parts
there are link tags open or messed up
no apparent head meta tag
and all - even a browser is confused
how much more bots may be
at least i am quiet sure that digitel was successful in killing Googlebot !
and most others of course
because Googlebot is about the most solid ones i ever saw - but even
that one gets killed by screwed up syntax and errors and missing
character encoding definitions and missing DOCTYPE declaration ...
LEARN form such mistakes OTHERS make and avoid them for your own business and web site - learn from successful professionals whatever you do and need to learn.
unless you are swimming in $ and have no need at all
but then again
why would you then waste time to create a site if no one finds it and
you have no need for customers at all ....
corporations fail to be successful
because THEY finish their job at 4 or 5 PM
while a one man operation such as me ends work when job done
what is the essence of that knowledge ??
the essence is simple and shocking but enjoyable
ANY one man business
ANY smallest family business
can work FAR more progressive
can work far more qualified
can work far more quality and service oriented
individualized to meet the TRUE and real needs of customers
ANY small web site if done with love and knowledge CAN EASILY be far
more successful per person employed and per $ invested
than ANY corporation ever can
YOU can adapt INSTANTLY to needs occurring
YOU can modify without EVER having to ask your BOSS - because YOU are
the boss and your partner / wife / husband is your companion to
accomplish what YOU BOTH want to achieve
you can sit together
hug and kiss
and out of love create new solutions - new ideas
then sit down and DO until finish
more flexible and more progressive than ANY corporate site ever can be
YOU - if YOU found YOUR family business
can be far more successful than any large business
by number of ALL benefits to be considered
benefits far above $ and kilo and meter to measure success
YOU can be GOOD
and YOU can be TOP !!
if only you WANT
you have to work
learn
work harder
learn more
day and night
and you will succeed
and out of your true spiritual success
you will find the power and energy and inspiration to work until job
finished successfully !!!
where to learn
on the web
use or learn to use Google
search
find
read, study, apply, test, ...
or
go search for workshops in your area
Search Google for
SEO workshops
and may be add your city or country or province to it to get localized
SEO and web publishing workshops near your locality
but be aware - the experts able to offer such high end workshops are but
a few world wide.
take
weekend workshops or evening workshops near your own location if you
have little to learn
or full vacations workshops if you want to learn more or all at once
once you have learned ALL the basics and applied it to a few chapters or
pages of your site
you will reach a point wen you understand the importance
when you have savored the feeling of having crated something useful can
actually is found in top 10 or even better
you may search Google for
vacation SEO workshops
depending on the size of your site and business 2-3 weeks may be best if
you have your own laptop, wireless connection, full web site access for
REAL work during workshops
a week or two longer may be advised if you love to make some kind of
second honeymoon mix with SEO workshop ...
why NOT ??
among others you may find myself having a page you see when looking @
Google for
vacation SEO workshops
but of course you can also search Yahoo - if you prefer Yahoo
Are such SEO workshops expensive ?
i have no idea
i never took one
i took any kind of workshop whenever one was available
but by the time i started in 1997 there was none available because www
was just a "baby" growing up and all needed to grow up with its use
usually such high end IT workshops may be around 400+ us$ per day
i remember once in 1999 i wanted to take a Linux admin workshop - and 5
days group workshop with a truly professional company was at that time
about 2000 US $.
but find local workshop offers and find out
and if affordable
participate
its anyway MUCH cheaper than to be number nowhere downhill @ Google and
Yahoo and to go out of business before business even started really.
in all the past years i have seen domain come and go
some purchase domains
have big ideas and dreams
some have MANY domains at the same time
fill all with template pages and links they purchased somewhere for up
to 50+ $ per PR6 or higher link
and have zero content of their own. may be some amazon or other
affiliate products OTHERS have created ...
and are out and away a few years later
so
to finalize
before i go and have my coffee - i somehow have the feeling to have Sunday
but a few days ago i said it's Christmas time
so what is it now TODAY
for me
it's Christmas on a Sunday !!
every day
a day to love
a day to make happy
a day to BE happy
and some sometimes wonder how to work day and night
the secret is clear
it's no longer a secret at all
since May 17th, 2000 it's published
here on my web site
the source of all power to work, work, have fun and do what ever needs
to be done
what ever o want to do
the solutions is
