Most affiliate programs and Advertiser Networks like Google AdSense, ClickBank and the like, have very stringent norms about the policies that need to be unambiguously displayed on affiliate or partner websites. While most of these programs highlight the key mandatory points that need to be part of the policies – the exact wording stumps most website owners who lack the legal know – how to put it together.

Secure Your WordPress Site, Lock Stock and Barrel

There is no point in having an array of locks at your disposal, if you do not use them, or don’t know how to use them to safeguard your property.

What to Do When a WordPress Plugin Causes Your Website to Crash

It doesn’t matter how careful you are. At some point of another, a plugin is going to cause your WordPress website to crash. The only way to avoid a crash is to have a test area that is an exact clone of your live website; with the same plugins, posts, pages and theme.

So realistically, you’re going to have to deal with a problematic plugin in the future.

Simple Tweaks to Optimize Conversions on a WordPress Blog

One thing I noticed when running a small web design business was that a number of beginner designers that we (me and my friend) were trying to hire didn’t have a grasp on the design-business connection, so to speak.

Joomla to WordPress Website Migration: How to Make it Easy?

If you think about a CMS platform, what names automatically come to your mind? In 99% of cases, it’s WordPress and Joomla. These are the most popular content management systems in the world, that control almost 65% of the CMS market. However, Google Trends demonstrates clearly that since 2010 (the release of WordPress 3, which actually turned it into a full featured CMS from a blogging platform) the demand for WordPress has grown and now it wins over Joomla in popularity.

Search that Site – Understanding WordPress Search

Our entire lives resolve around search. Can you imagine a day without using Google or Yahoo or any other search engine of your preference? It boggles the mind! Search is integral to your blog or site, especially if you have more than just a few posts or pages. Without a good search engine backing you, your site will become a large cosmic black hole, with every post going in, but nothing of value coming out of it.
