I have a website that doesn't have/need a favicon.
Is there a way to instruct the browser not to waste a request looking for /favicon.ico ?
I don't mean filtering logs, but something client-side, like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="about:blank" />
That appears to work, but I'm not in a position to do comprehensive tests, (and search engines are being unhelpful).
Can anyone confirm if this is a valid method, or provide a suitable alternative?
I’m searching for the best way to link the outgoing/output data in a WordPress contact form plugin on a WordPress website to an existing MySQL database where a contact form is processed.
Scenario: A new site (Site A) is being developed with a contact form. Site B (old site) uses a contact form script to process contact form leads through an existing legacy database and a ColdFusion application. The goal is to create site A with a new contact form to continue the same existing processes. Site A is to become the new Site B.

One of the most important aspects of SEO is the work you put in before you even touch the website or build a single back link. This analysis work involves keyword research and competition analysis. Choose the wrong keywords and you could be wasting all your efforts in the onsite and offsite optimization. Choose keywords which have too much competition and you'll be taking on an uphill battle.
For this job I need a booking or appointment calendar for the WP website, so that each of the 2500+ members can manage his/her own appointments calendar. Members will set their schedules and available hours. Buyers can select one member, and book when they want to visit the member and reserve time online.
Lets say our WP membership site has thousands of members each offering one service. We have 25 categories. On their profile page is his appointment or booking calendar, along with his personally created and uploaded (into S3) profile video. Website visitors should be able to easily book hours & days as desired.
For now all members have a free membership. WE earn $ by bringing customers to the registered members and collecting one dollar for our service. Therefore, we need an affordable script and one that handles our members needs. We already have a paid copy of Jrox.
What are those needs? Well, please register for a test account in the ENTERTAINMENT category at http://asianhighway26.com/?page_id=140
Next, pretend you are a buyer and start on the index page and select your ENTERTAINMENT category.
Click on image #3 and you will receive a list of others in your traveling area. When you click VIEW DETAILS, there is where a potential customer will see the calendar and if you are available on the dates and times you are interested in doing business.
We know that YOU the member will want to list your not available dates and hours. There may be other features desired but this is the most important, we believe. Our WP administrator (me) can install the main script, but each member must have some login or dashboard to manage his/her own calendar and work hours.
Can you create or modify any appointment calendar software to do this? Can the jam.jrox.com software we own do this?
As you can see here, we offer to pay for ideas you present that we use: asianhighway26.com/?page_id=126

Building a solid SEO foundation is a major aspect of successful web design. Follow these seven basics to get your search engine optimization efforts, and your website, off to a great start.
I installed some packages a while ago and for some reason, they would only install with a special set of parameters that I used as recommended on a website (can't remember which one).
Now, although harmless, I am stuck with these warnings every time I run apt-get:
dpkg: warning: ignoring option --foreign-architecture=i386: this architecture cannot be foreign
Any idea where is this lying around? How can I clean this up?

I have a download link very similar to Opera's one - it's just a script that sends the file. It doesn't have an extension and there's no obvious way to tell that it's actually a download link.
So since I don't want robots to crawl this link, do I need to add it to robots.txt or maybe add a "nofollow" attribute to it? I see that on Opera's website they didn't do either of this, so perhaps it's not necessary?
I'm looking for a payment gateway that can be used in a website with multiple sellers. Let's say that depending on the purchased item, a given seller/merchant should receive the money.
Would that be possible using only one "master merchant" account that would act as a "distributor" of funds for several "sub-merchants"?
Does any well established privider (paypal, worldpay, auth.net, etc) supports this?

It is prudent to start promoting a website using free SEO methods first. That way you gain knowledge and experience without the risk of losing any money should you make a few wrong moves. From then on, you can choose to wisely transition to paid methods if need be.
Hi there,
there is quite extensive discussion about this topic on another website and I am really losing my confidence. The thing is that I claim that the amount (count) of visits is NOT a criteria for increasing the PR of the particular web because:
a) Google just doesn't know about every single visit on a webpage (in case it's not using GA)
b) Google just would not rate by something what Google actually affects
Thanks for your opinions.
Peter.

In a previous article, I talk about how having a web site is very important to your business. But just having a web site isn't good enough. You need to satisfy the customer visiting your page. In this article I want to talk about what customers would expect from your website and how you can help fulfil those requirements.
Search Engine Optimization should always be implemented with your customers and visitors in mind. They are the main consumers of your content and they are using the search engines to find your work. In the end it is all about presenting your website in such a way that it becomes visible on the search engine result pages.
As more organisations become aware of the value of links the number of links pedlars is increasing. On the face of it these people offer an easy, if sometimes expensive, way to improve your website's performance in the search engines.
A client has asked me to develop and host a website in China (I'm in Europe). I'm looking for a reliable English-speaking hosting company and domains provider in China. Shared hosting will be sufficient with PHP/MySQL on linux servers.
Finding a reliable hosting company can be difficult, especially abroad. I wonder, does anyone have experience with Chinese hosting companies? Is there a big "main player" like UK2 or GoDaddy?
Thanks
