Installing PHP on Vista

Posted by: User ImageStephan Miller In: Php| Uncategorized| Vista

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I actually found the answer to this problem pretty quickly.
The php installation software did not work for some reason on Windows Vista. The only thing I saw that the installation program did incorrectly was that it id not add index.php as a directory index.
Therefore simply changing this: DirectoryIndex index.html
To this: DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
fixed the problem.
I also copied php.ini to Windows folder for good measure. Why? Because someone said to do that in a forum. I figured it couldn’t hurt anything, not being an executable to begin with.

Installing Apache on Vista

Posted by: User ImageStephan Miller In: Hosting| Uncategorized| Vista

This really sucked. No one gives the complete information anywhere, so I thought I would explain step by step what I went through to install Apache 2.2 on Centrino Duo Laptop running Windows Vista Business. Just a testing server, to try sites before I upload them live. This task went pretty simply on Windows XP Home.

I started out by downloading Apache. I figured what the heck, run the installation program. After all, that’s what I wanted to do, install Apache and most installation applications work. Its the answer I was looking for, but not quite the answer I got.

Optimizing through Google Images

Posted by: User ImageStephan Miller In: Google| Graphics| SEO| Uncategorized

Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics » Check Mate: Google Images I think it will be a while before Google can actually crack down on this. For one thing, until they have an algorithm to tear the image apart and decipher what it is, about all the data they have to determine the contents of an image is through the words and tags that surround it. Now, I read in Wired about a month ago, about a guy developing software to do this exact thing, but developing is the keyword. I guess they can determine the value [...] Continue Reading…

The War On Internet Marketing Ebooks

Super Affiliate Marketing Blog » My New War On Internet Marketing Ebooks

This guy is great and his blog has more information in each post than the ebooks he bought to give away for free. I found him doing research on Clickbank products and he was number 6 in Google for Guru Slayer that he was giving away for free. I still see Adwords ads though. That must show impulse clicks instead of actual searching and investigating. But who would have guessed you could find the book for free on the first page of Google.

Fading Out Nofollows?

Fading Out Nofollows?

Seems like a good idea but wouldn’t just using Akismet, moderating all comments, and then not using no-follow at all also be a good practice.

Comments add value to a blog and although 90% of the comments you will get will be spam, most of the tools out there created to take care of the issue, will take care of most of this.

Why not give back to people who comment by linking to their url without the sneaky, underhanded no-follow tag that you have to look at source code even to find.
