Where are you located. I know a company that is great for that type of thing. They work with clients all over the US, but they're based in the DC area.

What's your strategy? SEO is an ongoing process. How can you get everything done that you need to in that amount of time? I've worked in the industry, and that seems like too little time to make an impact.

This. I regularly feel that I'm just one more 20 hour day from getting the thing finished so I can relax. It's starting to look like there is no such thing. There will always be things to tweak, new features to add, things that break, et al

I currently work remotely, and I agree with you that there is something special about working physically together. There isn't a good remote substitute for standing in front of a white board with another coder. We tended to get excited when

This! I am currently using Amazon prime and Netflix for my television/movie consumption. I lack any sort of cable service. It is incredibly difficult to laze on the couch and watch TV because unless I'm watching a television series, I have

The biggest problem is that clients on those sites want you to build them facebook in two weeks for $300. People willing to work for this type of client are your run of the mill php spaghetti coders. They tend to attract the worst of both c

Many have suggested editing your robots.txt. This is absolutely the first step you should take. You could try blocking the crawlers by name or limit the request rate with a crawl delay in the robots.txt. If the crawler ignores your robots.t

People are already seeking better life quality in smaller, country-side cities. I recently bought a place in a mountain resort 2 hours outside of DC. Housing there costs 30% what it would cost in Montgomery County or Fairfax, it is insanely

The guy on shark tank with the smiley face sponge had one patent and two others pending. The idea wasn't the smiley face, it was a material which changed properties depending on temperature.

Hmmm.. The ready availability of low cost labor in Russia and India must be why Microsoft, Google, and Amazon shell out 100k/year + 80k in stock to new employees. In programmers, you get what you pay for.

In my option the major difference between Android based devices and Apple products is the level to which they've been polished. Every Android device I've owned has had rather annoying bugs. They freeze, menus appear off screen, and they fee

Specifically what did you find so awful about the Kindle Fire? I bought one and I'm quite happy with it. I've experienced some problems with connectivity and the browser freezing occasionally but that's it. A hard reboot every once in awhil

FHA loans require 3.5%, and a typical conventional loan requires 5%. There are also housing programs in some areas that will help with a down payment. For example, the House Charlotte program recently contributed $7500 towards a home for a

If anything, the DMCA takedown notices make it easier to find what I'm looking for. I no longer have to wade through nearly as much search engine spam. Step 1: Search for a movie. Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the li

It looks like you are using links which use onclick events instead of a standard href. The 30+ javascript files included in the <head> section suggest you might be using it in other places that you shouldn't be if your goal is SEO.
