Pushy online ads wave bye-bye to surfers

Posted by Henrik Madsen on July 29, 2008

More than eight-out-of-ten (84%) web users have left a favourite website because of intrusive or annoying online banners and ads. And 70% have stopped visiting a website altogether, according to the 2008 Consumer Attitudes to Online Advertising Study, released last week.
Bugbears included ads with loud sound effects, pop-ups covering web content (my personal peeve) and [...]

How to get your website looking good on iPhone

Posted by Henrik Madsen on July 23, 2008

Anyone who’s surfed around on an Apple iPhone - or in my case an iPod Touch - will know that Apple’s Safari engine renders most sites surprisingly well.

Are you wearing your computer socks today?

Posted by Henrik Madsen on July 17, 2008

To be honest neither am I. But I was amused to discover they actually exist. High-tech Computer Socks, from Holeproof, are apparently famous for ‘falling up, not down.’ And while I think Newton would have had something to say about those physics it seems they’re specially designed - invented in the 1970s - to ‘push’ [...]

Parallel to our on-going search engine optimization work for clients, we’re conducting an experiment at the moment to see if search rankings take into account where a website is physically hosted.
Professional opinions differ. Some SEOs claim all that matters is the domain extension (ie .com.au); others say the actual location of the host also plays [...]

Is your website exposing you to spam?

Posted by Henrik Madsen on July 4, 2008

Just like the major other search engines send out automated robots to collect information for search results, spammers use ’spambots’ to harvest email addresses. So if your address is exposed on your website - however well-designed it is - you’ll almost certainly attract unsolicited email.
