Optimizing your CSS with CSSTidy

rayland — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:37:28 +0000

CSSTidy is an opensource CSS parser and optimiser. Optimizing your CSS decreases the output file size and also allows for faster page loading. Faster page load equals saved bandwidth! CSSTidy allows you to chose the compression type you want to use to optimise your css. From Low compression with high readability, to Highest compression with no readability yet the smallest output size. There are also other options which you may chose from.

I have installed version 1.3 of CSSTidy onto my server so if you want to use it or just try it out, hurry up and go to http://www.raylanddelosreyes.com/csstidy/

If you like this post, you can buy me a cup of coffee or two. Thank you!

Google is in the process of updating PageRank (PR) of websites and by the looks of it, i'll be losing a mark.

Not bad, considering the fact that i haven't been able to update much these past few months! I'm get very busy at times.

So i guess It'll be a drop from PR4 to PR3 then? not too shabby eh?

PageRank Update

Google is updating the PageRank (PR) of indexed websites. It has been a while since the last update, and i have been waiting for it.

This blog has jumped from PR0 to PR4 and that, my friends, makes me really happy.. I just hope that it's final!

How about you? Did you see an increase in you PageRank? Decrease maybe?

Skills Needed For Search Engine Optimization

rayland — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 07:05:00 +0000

Since search engine optimization is still a relatively new concept, a lot of business establishments think it best to hire search engine optimization firms to handle the online marketing side of their businesses. But what if you can’t afford to hire the services of search engine optimization firms? What if you’re just starting the business and you don’t have enough money for additional advertising? If so, all you can rely on is yourself.

But there’s no need to worry just yet because search engine optimization is easier than what you – and many others – think. Granted, it takes practice before you can truly optimize search engine results for your website or business but it’s at least a very possible and achievable goal. First, however, we shall concentrate on the skills you need for search engine optimization.

Knowing Your Target Market
If you want search engine optimization for your website, you have to know your target market. Because the Internet is such a vast place to explore, knowing your target market would mean more readers for your target market because they can easily relate and understand what you’re talking about.

The Content of Your Ad
Let’s just say you do know your target market already and everything inside your website – from the first word till the very last punctuation used – is meant to convince the reader to purchase the product. But wait…how do they get to your website first? And that’s when search engine optimization comes in once more. With engine optimization, it’s a guarantee that your website would receive more clicks.

But what could put your website on top of MSN and Google searches? The answer: the content of your ad. Since most companies prefer to use text ads because they’re shorter, more cost efficient and less irritating, you have to maximize the content of your ad. Make sure that you’re able to convey your message in the shortest, clearest and most effective way possible.

The Use of Keywords
Keyword is one of the major factors affecting search engine optimization. If you want to optimize searches done by MSN, Google or Yahoo, you have to make sure that the keyword list you use under your company’s name should be the very keywords your target market would type in the search box.

When it comes to keywords, there are only two things that matters: spelling and relevance. Make sure that you include keywords in their correct and incorrect spellings if the keyword is the type to be commonly misspelled such as Czechoslovakia or die-cast (sometimes spelled as one word). And of course, lastly, it has to be relevant.

The next Philippine SEO Contest… Bayanihan!

rayland — Sun, 27 May 2007 08:03:00 +0000

Marc Macalua has given word that the word the next Philippine SEO Contest would involve the Filipino tradition of Bayanihan. Well how then will there be Bayanihan? TEAMS! Yes TEAMS!

As quoted from his site

After two highly successful keyword ranking contests (the P130,000 Isulong SEOPH and P300,000 Ituloy AngSulong contests) that saw individual SEOs fight for the top spot in all three major search engines (Google, Yahoo! and MSN), we’re breaking new grounds by introducing a team-based point system that will revolutionize the way all future SEO contests are run.

I wonder how the system will work.. Let's just wait for the mechanics..
