We Know Web

WordPress may be synonymous to blogging, but WordPress software can also be used as a content management system (CMS) for business websites and even e-commerce websites. Clearly, WordPress has evolved beyond blogging.

Aside from this website, here are 10 business websites that use WordPress.

1. Perform a naked search of the keyword e.g. “Organic Wine”.
2. Perform an allinanchor search to distinguish the authority domains from the niche domains (allinanchor:”Organic Wine”)
3. To get how many back links a site has using the keyword, perform a search using Yahoo! Site Explorer
4. SEMRush competition meter. The higher the number, the more difficult it is.

There are hundreds of factors that influence a website’s ranking in search engines.  And the importance of each of these factors will fluctuate depending on the competitiveness of each keyword in a particular search engine.

Google Enterprise general manager – Dave Girouard – says PageRank relies on more than 100 variables, and these factors are carefully guarded secrets to prevent abuse from spammers.

Factors for a website ranking for a given keyword phrase may depend on:

Domain Strength
The age of domain, age of registration, page loading time, duration of current registration, unique IP address, number of pages in index, etc.

Keyword Usage
The keywords used in title tags, header tags, meta description, keywords used in site’s anchor text, keywords in domain URL, keywords and synonyms used in content, keyword proximity on page, etc.

Link Data
The age of incoming links, quality of incoming links, topical relevancy of incoming links, anchor text of incoming links, surrounding copy around anchor text, outbound links to authority websites, etc.

User Data & Content Quality
The number of clicks on your SERP link, time on site, search requests for domain name, number of bookmarks in social media sites, viral content, grade level of content, readability, etc.

Now that you know which factors affect your position in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages), let’s move on to our On Page SEO Checklist and Off Page SEO Checklist.

Upon installing PHPMyAdmin and MySQL 5 on my fresh Macbook I kept getting a socket error from PHPMyAdmin.

I found the solution googling around. Luckily others before me had the same problem.

The solution was to go into your PHP.INI file and edit these lines:

mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

It seems the default PHP installation doesn’t know where to find the thing on the Macbook.
