Google Warns Chrome Will Block Some Content After New Updates

guest-author — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 23:24:50 +0000

Just days after Google’s plans to introduce controversial DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to Chrome hit the headlines, comes news of another HTTPS change that is set to hit the hundreds of millions using the world’s most popular browser. For Google this change is critical, completing the task of pushing websites to ensure all traffic is encrypted. For website developers, it means there is a cut-off date to make changes. For users, it means some content will be blocked—even on popular sites—as changes take place.

Will the New Domain Extensions Negatively Impact Your SEO?

guest-author — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:36:09 +0000

by Eric Siu Five years ago, there weren’t that many options when it came to domain name extensions. You could only register a domain with a .com, .org or .net extension — and good luck if the name you wanted was already in use!

Read the entire article on Entrepreneur’s website You now have dozens of other options for top-level domains, including .car, .business, and .app. And while it may be tempting to consider investing in one of these extensions

When I read through the information they sent me and took a quick look at their website, it was obvious to me what the problem was: They simply didn’t deserve to be there. Let me explain… They have a fairly small local company that sells some common but specific types of office furniture. While they have a niche for the type of furniture they sell, for the most part it’s nothing

WordPress website design for De Chiel Firearms. De Chiel Firearms is a San Diego-based Discount firearms dealer who needed a great site design solution on a budget…a PERFECT candidate for a WordPress solution. This project included NO graphic or logo design. (Though I did use a header banner I created using a photo of the owner’s beloved Douglas A-1 “Spad” airplane…a craft he lovingly flew in his service days along with a photo of an aged rendition of his family’s crest. So a LITTLE design, though I didn’t really charge for it.) Like many other small business sites, De Chiel original/former
