JavaScript and PHP are both important coding languages for the web projects we put together. Most of the times it is pretty obvious which language you must use since one language is a server-side language (PHP) and the other an object oriented language (Javascript). But every now and then a scenario arises where you may use either language.
For example, take the video player design on some of the entertainment sites I make. Recently, I made an update to the player that sped up the load time (and took the stress off my server) significantly. This is because of a coding goal of minimizing the amount of PHP necessary for laying out a page.
Minimizing PHP is a good practice for multiple reasons. It takes stress off your server, and it speeds up the load time of your site. The server impact follows from the way PHP functions. PHP loads information from your server (hints ‘server-side language’). The less PHP code, the less work your server has to do. Less work for your server also speeds up the load time of your site following simple logic (everything must load from the server, so less is better).
With my video player example, originally, the player had been coded with an inefficient amount of PHP being used for laying out the HTML. Using Javascript instead to write the HTML after page actions, the load time of these sites sped up drastically.
When it comes to web development and coding, the attitude of ‘less is more’ is always important. Part of search algorithms for SEO purposes looks at the load time of your site now. It also costs more bandwidth to load more from your server. For web development, constantly thinking ‘less is more’ is very important for implenting PHP in a proper manner.

I read an interesting article on wired.com this morning about reports of Nintendo’s follow up gaming console to the Wii having a touch screen in the controller. This idea sounds fascinating and at the same time brings on a world of possibilities. The last paragraph (the last sentence particularly) I found to be the most thought provoking.
“We don’t yet know what Project Cafe will let users do with this reported screen-in-a-controller. Will it be used like Four Swords, to give players their own view of a given situation? Like Pokémon Battle Revolution, as a controller? http://iamlearningdisabled.com/images/ Or like iPad, putting the entirety of the game onto your own personal screen instead of the television?“
I am a video game nerd. I play less now than when I was younger, but I will still always find time to occasionally pick up the sticks. Enjoying playing video games with friends, I have always found multiplayer gaming to be a fun experience, but I also like to play solo games, and even casino games at this pokie spins login to make some money online. The last (iPad screen) possibility would be revolutionary for in-house multiplayer gaming. It would eliminate the need to have 4 player games all on one TV. Online multiplayer games where you have to take turns with your friends (thinking Call of Duty) would improve drastically. Personal gaming screens would make playing four player Mario Kart four times better, looking the same as a one player game of Mario Kart.
Lets cross our fingers this is happening. Then quality virtual gaming in 3D like in these new games which will allow you to legal start sports betting in kentucky. Then becoming one with the machine like in the movie “Tron”. Technology can be unbelievable.

Duplicate content can hurt your search engine optimization. Algorithms for search engine bots contain coding that flag whenever it sees the same content posted at multiple urls. Then it de-indexes these pages, making the pages worthless for search engines.
A de-indexed post is bad. We want content on the search engines and as much content as possible. WordPress & blogging through WordPress has a pretty important factor for making sure your site does not show duplicate content: read this post here Post Categories.
When using post categories on your blog you must only use one category per post. If you were to make a post have more than one category, each category would receive its own seperate page for the post. For example, if you were to make a blog post have three categories, then three seperate, unique urls with the same content would be made on your site. When a search bot comes to your site, they will flag this specific blog post as duplicate content.
So what do you do if you think one category isn’t describing enough? This is where you should use post tags for giving your post a more detailed description. In fact, search engines like seeing multiple post tags. It tells the search bot more details about your post.

Article submissions are yet another way blogging can be useful for search engine optimization. An article submission is when you write an article on your blog and then submit a link to the post on an article directory site. Ezine Articles is an example of one. Here is how they are useful.
Article directory sites post articles from all over the web for people looking for articles on specific categories to link to on their blog. People looking for quality, enlightening content may look through one of these sites and decide to link to an article you submit. These are useful for SEO backlinks and for general promotion purposes of reaching audiences you would not of reached otherwise.
Article submissions are useful for generating new traffic, but does that mean you should just start submitting every article you write on your blog to these sites?
When trying to properly execute an article submission game plan, it is important to be careful when choosing which articles to submit. First, don’t just spam these sites with your articles. The good sites will notice, and the good users will notice when you are not posting quality content. Choose your blog posts that you feel are your most interesting, insightful, and unique. In addition to this, I do think one “spaming-like” tactic is smart. This tactic is to submit to all of the good article submission sites when you know which article you want to submit. There are tons of these article submission sites (some useful, some not).
We always offer to advise you on the article submission side of your SEO or to do the article submissions for you or your business. Contact us today to discuss a web SEO plan that suites you!
