Hi everybody:) Just a quick word or three about Four Seasons Air Conditioning and Google Analytics. If you search Google UK for " Four Seasons Air Conditioning ", Four Seasons Air Conditioning are now in position 154 from a possable 280,000. The FSA site and pages was optimised by staff at MC-PC Search Engine Optimisation on the 6th November 2008. For a site that is less than 4 weeks old in Googles eyes, the Four Seasons web site is doing very good in my opinion to be so high up in the results pages. :)Most of the Hotel sites that I am web master for have droped due to the holiday season being finished. I will let you know more when I know, so until then. Goodbye from MC@ his PC :) Mark C One Life :)

It seems that enterprising hackers have already destroyed Nintendo's best laid plans, having already cracked the new DSi with an R4DS-like device doing the rounds in Japan. read more | digg story

I am glad to report that Google Analytics shows Page Views for TouristNetUK are up by 20% over the last month to 155,000 + :)  The number of people requesting details is up :) and the number of new customers is up. :) The RECESSION is here and the holiday season has nearly finished until next year, BUT Page Views are UP :) The current job for  MC-PC Web Design  has been to create a report on " TouristNetUK on the WWW and Social Networking ". The report was presented to 12 key staff members, from CEO & Directors to admin and sales. Eleven people were present in the office, with one on skype and one using the telephone hands. We used PowerPoint to present the information you can find it at  TouristNetUK Presentation .  I now firmly believe the change of keywords IS responsible for the current rise in the Page Views. Thank you Google :)  and All the other sites that  Point into  TouristNetUK with links :) Hava Gud weekend every1 One Love :)

Well believe it or not, the Google Analytics figures have carried on rising for some of the sites that I am webmaster for. TouristNetUK has showed the best results with a dramatic jump from a average 120,000 page views to a amazing 150.000+. Is the secret formulae for page views - 1. Hard work in rebuilding the site with SEO in mind and more capital invested for manpower in page creation? 2. More pages being found through Keywords and phrases after being optimised for search? 3. More people searching for UK accommodation? 4. More Spider-Bots crawling the site due to our Digg and Delicious activities and the fact that TouristNetUK now has a group on all the major Social Networking sites, Facebook, MtSpace, YouTube, Bebo? The answer is - Its a little bit of all of the above statements:) According to Google Analytics, direct traffic into the site is responsible for the dramatic increase in visitors and page views. Have a good weekend and dont work to hard:)

Ive just ordered a new laptop today for MC-PC "me+computer", I should get it in the morning. You can find it at Misco . The laptop Ive got has done me proud with windows :( 2000 Pro, with a little bit of .NET in there to so I'm now paying the price with my application speeds, it just seems to be running dead slow these days. Unless its because Ive been playing on my sons new laptop also from Misco , and when I do go back to my old ting it just don't match up? Anyway I'm now sitting here like a kid at Christmas waiting for the parcel delivery guy to turn up in the morning :) Carnt wait *.*

Well after spending the last 3 days going through Google Analytics trying to find out why some of the figures have gone up, I am able to report that I think the the traffic increase is a down to direct traffic to the sites. This could be 1. Spiders - We have started to use Digg and Delicious so it would make sense for the traffic to go up due to the Spiders / Search engine bots crawling the sites after finding them on Digg and Delicious and. 2. The people are returning to the sites from there Favorites instead of doing a Organic search, and that's how they probably found the sites in the first place. Please comment of get in touch if you have any more ideas what is causing this phenomena. I would love your input. If you to are interested in Search Engine Optimisation I would suggest starting with the book Advanced Web Metrics for Google Analytics . What a brilliant book :) One Life :)

Here at MC-PC Web Design we have spent the weekend trying to work out why the figures for some of the sites we webmaster for have gone up between 100% - 250%? I have eventualy tracked it down to DIRECT traffic. By direct traffic I asume that the Google Analytics figures have gone up through Spider-Robots crawling the server due to our Digg and Delicious campain. Has our investment of time and effort in the Social Networking technologys worked I hear you ask, sorry I carnt answer that right now but there are still some figures I need to see b4 I can confirm that. Have a good week. One Life Live It to the MAX :P

My site at WWW.MC-PC.CO.UK is not working again. I think 186k MUST be the first OFF LINE ISP. Lol

Well well well. Nice 1 Google for helping to send the page views through the roof on a site that I webmaster for. Tourist Net UK Ltd have for the past 10 years been using TouristNetUK.COM to display all of there pages, but after 10 years the Web has changed. So after 10 months of planning between MC-PC Web Design and Tourist Net UK Ltd the decision was made to re-build the site using the same style and colour and content as the current .com site. The name TouristNetUK stayed too and became the new and improved TouristNetUK.CO.UK using various web technology's including .ASP and XML to help generate the pages and content. The figures for the site are collected and presented using Google Analytics, which have been recording every detail for the past 8 months. The goal was to use the TouristNetUK.CO.UK figures using Google Analytics to measure the sites pages as success or failure. The Meta Keywords were changed my me on the 24th of September based on the whats the Anaytics have s

The United States really does seem to be teetering on the brink of an abyss, and will it fall and fall soon I hear every body ask? I think the US has already fell and fell hard, and only now we are feeling and hearing the "BIG BANG Fallout" of that US fall around the world. What follows capitalism for the US people? Communism maybe as the USA never tried that did they? But what ever they do that are doomed for the not so far distant future that's for sure. What follows for the world, no USA? Would that be so bad? I DON'T THINK SO What follows for all the rich people, A revolution by the poor people I suspect trying the rid the world of Hunger and famine and FAT CAT BANKERS, Politicians Etc. But please don't get me wrong, I am no USA hater as I hope Britain and all the other so called developed SUPER POWER nations follows it down the toilet where they belong. One LIFE, Live IT :) MC

To help me with my search engine optimisation skills I have brought a book on Google Analytics, Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics . I have been using Google Analytics for over a year now on a daily basis for a variety of sites including - TouristNetUK , MC-PC Web Design , Hotel UK Accommodation , Taxi Bike . Some of the sites have over 120,000 visits a month and some 300 visits so getting to grips with Google Analytics is important for many reason, which has up till now been used most of all for measuring the visits per day, week and month. Basic stuff really so now its time change the face of Google Analytics as I know it using my new Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics book. :) 1Life

Well so much for Page Rank, my Page Rank has gone down and down, but my page has gone up and up for the keywords "web design newcastle under lyme" on Google UK. Just goes to show that Page Rank aint everything. A bit of well wrote XHTML can get the job done without Googles approval :)

The page rank on MC-PC.co.uk, TouristNetUK has gone down today? I guess its time to find out Y Hopefuly I will be back soon with a answer.

Yes, MC-PC are number 1 out of about 40,000 web pages once again in the Google Search Engine Results Pages for the keywords "Web Design Newcastle-Under-Lyme". This is for both Google .com and Google .co.uk. This is a GREAT RESULT for MC-PC Web Design. Well done Google for realising great web design when it crawls it. MC-PC Web Design have been number 1 in the Google Maps results for Web Design Businesses in Newcastle-Under-Lyme for quite a while now too. :)

After last weekend, this weekend was just what the doctor ordered, nice and releaxing with my daughter Jaye. We went to blackpool last weekend and yes we did go on the Pleasure Beach, the bling has to be 1 of my best rides ever, but the pepsi max is good to in its own way.

Today's chore has been to add all the contacts i have to Yahoo and Outlook. You'd have thought they may export the contact for easy addition to 3rd party apps. The contacts are to get the chance to take part in a little experiment. They have been asked to add them selves to a blog, myspace, youtube, facebook, bebo and flickr. After they have completed that mighty feat, thay have been asked to Digg and Delicious bookmark pages at there discretion for SEO purposes. Do blogs increase traffic to a site? Hope fully we are going to find out :)

My laptop is still running win2000 pro, but today i brought my son a laptop cus he needs one for collage and work :) The Laptop Specifications are - Product Description : Acer Travelmate 5720-2A3G16Mi Notebook PC Chassis Colour Black Processor 1 x Intel® Core™2 Duo T5270, 1.4GHz, 800MHz FSB Chipset Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Cache 2MB - L2 Cache Hard Drive 160GB - Serial ATA Disk Anti-Shock Protection Networking Ethernet Fast Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11g Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR Telecom Fax / modem - 56 Kbps RAM 3GB (installed) / 4GB (max) 1 x 1GB + 1 x 2GB DDR2 SDRAM Graphics Controller Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 8MB/256MB Shared Memory Built-in Devices Stereo speakers Wireless LAN aerial Bluetooth 2.0 EDR Card Reader Memory Stick™ Memory Stick™ PRO Mulit Media Card XD Picture Card SD Card Display 15.4" WXGA 1280 x 800 High-Brightness LCD Optical Storage DVD+-RW/+-R DL/RAM OS Provided Genuine Windows Vista® Business and X

My son and I today added a new ASP Cell to TouristNetUK , as this will allow for the addition of fresh text at later date for R&D search engine optimisation reasons. It is hope that the addition of fresh relevant and original text to all of the hotel pages will help every page reach its goal of number one on a Search Engine Results Page. If only life at MC-PC was that simple.

.

The task in hand is to provide an Iframe for the already existing pages on Tourist Net UK , this Iframe must include a Translator Link, a Blogger button and a serch box. Not only do the pages need a Iframe at the top, but also need a Iframe on the right hand side for Adverts. At the same time as i have the pages in Notepad "cus thats how i work" i must also do the following with the HTML, move the Analytics Code and replace all the "../" relitive address with http://www.touristnetuk.com/images So lets recap - 1. Iframe with - 1a. Translator code 1b. Blogger Button 1c. Google Search Box and Text "SEARCH" 1d. Iframe for Adverts on right hand side below links 2. Update HTML in page 2a. Move the Google Analytics Code from top of the page to the bottom. 2b. Replace all the "../" relitive address with http://www.touristnetuk.com/images Oh well, here we go........ :)

My son, Callum started work today as a web designer with our family company "MC-PC Web Design". he also attends collage 4 days a week for his BTEC in IT. I hope that soon he will be showing me how to best practice Web Design and Search Engine Optimisation, and to be honest I carnt wait as i could do with the rest, lol :)

To day i added a translator to both my page and that of the comanys blog that i do freelance work for. The benifits have yet to be seen as far collecting web site figures using Google Analytics and WebMaster Tools.
