custom wordpress site: Is Your Website Mobile Friendly For Google on April 21st?
- 04/13/15 12:46 AM
By now it is no surprise that mobile friendly websites are no longer just an add-on option when building your website, but rather a necessity to how well your Custom WordPress Site ranks in the search engines. Google has been dropping hints for years on how important the mobile version of your site is. In fact, I wrote about it back in 2011 here. Back then, we would simply install a WordPress plugin and it would create a somewhat clean mobile version of your WordPress site. Since then, Google is looking for more when it comes to the mobile version of your website. No longer will … (2 comments)

- 07/28/14 05:56 AM
We all realize by now the huge importance of having a good search engine presence for your Custom WordPress Site and the many benefits it can bring to your business by ranking well. Normally, when I take on a new client, I try to explain up front to them that there are no magic bullets to getting good rankings, but hard work, dedication to creating good unique content, and some time will bring them the results they want. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is willing to put in the effort, or give it the time that is needed for the results to … (6 comments)
custom wordpress site: Is Your WordPress Site Secure?
- 01/25/13 06:44 AM
I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday to it's fullest extent by spending lot's of time with friends and family, shopping their hearts out, decorating the home and lastly resting enough to sleep off the turkey coma. For me, my Thanksgiving holiday was spent doing much less fun things. On Thanksgiving eve I logged into one of my sites and noticed it had a few updates that needed to be installed. So, as I normally do, I clicked button to install the updates and everything went downhill from there. Because the sites were not updated in over a month due to … (6 comments)

- 12/14/12 12:25 AM
Wow, the past month has flown by. My trip away was beyond amazing & life changing. Not only did I get to make an impact on lives of others during the past month, but I also got to see some of the most beautiful places I've ever been in the world. The photo to the right was one I took while in Cape Town, South Africa. While I was gone I decided I would start my Thanksgiving early and start reflecting back on this past year and some of the things I'm thankful for from the past year. Since I had … (3 comments)
custom wordpress site: Is Your Website Mobile Optimized?
- 12/01/11 06:34 AM
According to Google, mobile traffic queries are up over 4 times those of a year ago. More and more people are surfing the web from their smart phones every day for things. There should no longer be a question of whether or not you need a mobile version of your website. Having your website mobile optimized means that it will load quickly & easily for any mobile device. If it takes more than five seconds for the page to load, consumers are likely to leave and move on to another site. Also, the amount of data required to open a non-mobile … (11 comments)
custom wordpress site: Google Says Goodbye to Content Farms
- 02/28/11 02:45 AM
Over the past two weeks Google has really been making big news and cleaning up their search results. First we heard all about the debacle of J.C. Penney from the NY Times for not playing well online and using too many black hat SEO techniques to even list. Some of the topics that they used to rank #1 on now are not even found in the first ten pages of search content. Clearly, Google will not tolerate people trying to cheat the system and has no problem acting with authority they possess when needed. New Social Search Results Then last week … (69 comments)

- 02/23/11 03:55 AM
The other day Google started to roll out some new features in it's Social Search rankings. The use of social search isn't a new feature, it has been around for a while and has been a part of your searches. If you had not noticed them in the past, they were usually showing up in your searches towards the bottom of the first page. You would notice that the results were of those you had connected to on social media networks like YouTube, Twitter, etc. According to Search Engine Land, Google's new roll out will take your connections via social … (24 comments)
custom wordpress site: Building Your Relationships to Build Your Business
- 02/14/11 06:02 AM
Today like most days has been quite busy with email inquiries, prospective phone calls and a touch of social media madness. To be honest, the past few weeks at 210 have been quite busy as I have been deep in the canyons of WordPress working on Custom sites for many customers. But, as my clients know, I am pretty meticulous at returning all phone and email contacts within 24 hours of receiving them. While this is a blessing to my clients to always receive such prompt attention it is also a detriment to my health at times as I will … (14 comments)
custom wordpress site: Did You Know Google Docs Could Do This?
- 01/17/11 09:55 AM
I’ve shared before about the power of Google Docs, but not until I saw this video below did I even think half of this stuff was possible. While I consider myself an avid user of Google Docs, it appears there is so much more I can do with it that I have not yet even scratched the surface of. Cloud computing and being able to share/store things on a server instead of just a single computer is growing daily and will continue to become the way of the future. The ability to share documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings and more on a … (96 comments)
I am regularly asked by clients what is the next newest, latest & greatest social network to be coming down the pike. They want the jumpstart on the next hot thing so they can beat their competition on getting set up there before everyone else. They feel if they are the first there, they can be an expert and have a leg up on everyone else. Also, they are looking for the "next big thing" or as I call it the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So, I decided that today I am going … (93 comments)
custom wordpress site: Is Your Site Sending Mixed Signals?
- 12/27/10 01:09 AM
After watching the game the other night between the Green Bay Packers & New England Patriots, I noticed that as the game winded down to the last minute of play, the message being sent to Green Bay's rookie quarterback must have been mixed. He played a great game last night until the final 60 seconds. It seems as though he became completely unglued in the final 53 seconds. I think this was caused by confusion in signals which happens when you have inexperienced people running things. As you watched the final play of the game, Matt Flynn tried to at … (28 comments)
custom wordpress site: Are You Ironing Only the Front Side of Your Website?
- 12/17/10 07:11 AM
The other day, I was at church and was listening to the message when the speaker mentioned that sometimes when her husband is in a hurry he only irons the front of his dress shirt. She said he does this because since he is wearing a coat, nobody will ever see the back half, so what does it matter? The only people who know it isn't fully ironed is he and his wife. Unfortunately, I have seen on too many occasions that this is the same concept people place into their website for their business. We all want the flashy … (33 comments)

We all hear the importance of social media and why you need to have a strong presence in it. We know that there are sites like Facebook, Twitter, & YouTube and other social networks. Many times though we want to see what type of results these social networks are sending in traffic to your sites.
