I was recently asked by a blog reader about launching a new website to support the release of a brand new product launching this summer. The question was, "What can I do to our product website to ensure that it is 'optimized'?"Well, there are a variety of things you can do to optimize your site - but be patient. So many people I work with expect #1 rankings within days of launching their site. Start with a strong foundation, well designed internal linking structure, and link development programs from authoritative sites, and the rankings will come. Here are just a few of my 'basics' for launching a new website.Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)Streamlining code allow search engines to more easily spider, index, and rank web pagesJavascriptPut all your JavaScripts in external files and link to

I’ve written a little bit already on this blog about Microsoft’s datacenters and it’s something I suspect you’ll hear a lot more about over the next year. I’ll happily predict that Wired, the NY Times and The Financial Times will write on the topic more over the coming year. Why? Partly because it’s the new battleground for computing and the mainstream media will enjoy pitting the old (Microsoft) against the new (Google) and some other significant players like HP, EMC and Amazon. It’ll also be a hot topic because of the energy consumption of these massive datacenters. You can relatively easily put the X axis on the charts above but if you need some guidance, check out the Wired Information Factories article from 2006. Microsoft's power cons

Databases are the heart and soul of many enterprise applications, and it is very essential to pay special attention to database programming. I've seen in many occasions where database programming is overlooked, thinking that it's something easy that be done by anyone. This is wrong.For a better performing database you need a real DBA and a specialist database programmer, let it be for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2 or whatever! If you don't use database specialists during your development cycle, databases often end up becoming the performance bottleneck. I decided to write this article in order to put together some of the database programming best practices so that my fellow DBAs and database developers can benefit!Here are some programming guidelines and best practices, keeping

Originally featured in the December 2007 issue of NITA Notes, NITA faculty member, The Honorable Robert L. McGahey, Jr., district judge of the Second Judicial District in Denver, writes about his best practices in bench trials.Best Practices: How to Lose a Bench Trial Trial lawyers (and the people who teach them) tend to focus on improving jury trial skills. There is a good reason for this: jury trials are more interesting, jury trials are more fun, jury trials (at least in the conventional wisdom) require a more sophisticated set of skills to win. Important to remember, however, is that many more proceedings are bench trials, or things that look, walk, and quack like bench trials, such as domestic relations proceedings, administrative hearings, hearings on motions, etc. It is also importa

Best practices for many webmaster issues.Site Verification Files and Meta TagsYes, you should keep your verification file or meta tag live to maintain your status as a verified owner.Site Verification Best PracticesIf you have multiple people working on your site with Webmaster Tools, it's a good idea to have each person verify the site with his or her own account, rather than using a shared login. That way, as people come and go, you can control the access appropriately by adding or removing verification files or meta tags for each account.You may want to keep a list of these verification codes and which owner they are connected to, so you can easily control access later. If you lose track, you can always use the "Manage site verification" option in Webmaster Tools, which allows you to fo

Few days ago, I reviewed SQLAuthority News - Book Review - SQL Server 2005 Management and Administration (Paperback) on this blog. I received few comments on this review. Some people think it is good book, some thought that this waste of time. Well, after so many emails, I feel that I should point out something special about this book, which attracted me. The reason, I decided to review this book is practical advise, rather then some technical long answer. Technical answers have their places and helps to fix issues in most cases, however common sense is extremely important. To prove that this book gives practical answers, I have copied one of the section from this book and listed only few of the topics from that section. I have received authorization from publisher to review this book, this article does not violate any copyrite issues. Conduct general health checks every 6 to 12 months.

Security and managing threats are the last thing you want to consider when you are bringing up a Unified Communications (UC) project or Enterprise wide VoIP deployment. Because you would think that the security and firewalls already enabled will take care of and this sort of things will come around when necessary.But the potential security implications of extending their VoIP/UC network over public and/or untrusted networks need to be addressed in very unique way. VoIP/UC threats are very different from data threats, and your usual firewalls and security measures might allow hackers to carry out spoofing and denial-of-service attacks, unwanted reboots, unauthorized toll calls (toll fraud), and to take over the device to either steal or delete confidential data.(There were two hackers who made more than 500,000 calls through well known VoIP service providers.)So to deploy VoIP/UC securely, there are a number of security best practices that must be followed to prevent attacks and minimiz

By: John MorrisThere are many things to consider before you purchase a wheelchair. Regardless of whether you want a manual or powered chair, consider the following: 1. Folding or rigid frames?On manual chairs, folding frames are the usual conventional type having an X brace in the center allowing the frame to be folded sideways. Folding is simple, but a chair of this type tends to be bulky as well as quite heavy. New versions of lighter materials are now available, but regardless of this point because folding frames involve many parts, it is heavy compared to a rigid frame. Rigid frame joints are welded and a lightweight aluminum material is used, enabling one to transfer the wheelchair into the car without help. 2. It's all about comfort: get the footrest angled perfectlyAn angle footrest is measured from the horizontal or is regarded from the side, whereas tapered footrests are regarded from the front, and joins both feet at the bottom, providing more clearance when turning.

E-Commerce Times recently published an article written by AIS Media CEO, Thomas Harpointner, on the benefits businesses can achieve by “making room” for email marketing in their marketing budgets, as well as how to fully capitalize on it. An excerpt from the article includes: By using an advanced e-mail marketing system, measuring the results from your e-mail marketing campaign is fast and easy. Intuitive online reports reveal not only know how many e-mails were successfully sent and delivered but also how many people opened their e-mail and clicked. Other forms of advertising such as direct mail and print simply can’t compete in delivering this type of valuable marketing data. Unlike print campaigns, which can take weeks and even months to run, or postal mail that takes days to deliver, an e-mail marketing campaign can generate immediate, same-day results. Marketers can schedule an e-mail blast for 8 a.m. and begin to see results the same day &mdash

Learn proven, real-world techniques for specifying software requirements with this practical reference. It details 30 requirement "patterns" offering realistic examples for situation-specific guidance for building effective software requirements. Each pattern explains what a requirement needs to convey, offers potential questions to ask, points out potential pitfalls, suggests extra requirements, and other advice. This book also provides guidance on how to write other kinds of information that belong in a requirements specification, such as assumptions, a glossary, and document history and references, and how to structure a requirements specification.A disturbing proportion of computer systems are judged to be inadequate; many are not even delivered; more are late or over budget. Studies consistently show one of the single biggest causes is poorly defined requirements: not properly defining what a system is for and what it's supposed to do. Even a modest contribution to improving requ

The first two of the Seven Basic Principles of the Context-Driven of software testing are:1. The value of any practice depends on its context.2. There are good practices in context, but there are no best practices.As a former quality school gatekeeper, I understand the value of standards – in both products and processes. However, I am concerned by the current “best practices” trends in software development and testing. The rigidity that we demand in product standards can hurt in process standards. Even the CMM (which is often viewed as a rigid process) has “Optimizing” as the highest level of maturity. A mature process includes continuous learning and adjustment of the process. No process should lock us into one way of doing anything.Nearly 100 years ago, the industrial efficiency pioneer Frederick Taylor wrote “among the various methods and implements used in each element of each trade there is always one method and one implement which is quicker and better than any of the

The list of the best of the best Java EE practices can be found at IBM web site: 1. Always use MVC. 2. Don't reinvent the wheel. 3. Apply automated unit tests and test harnesses at every layer. 4. Develop to the specifications, not the application server. 5. Plan for using Java EE security from Day One. 6. Build what you know. 7. Always use session facades whenever you use EJB components. 8. Use stateless session beans instead of stateful session beans. 9. Use container-managed transactions. 10. Prefer JSPs as your first choice of presentation technology. 11. When using HttpSessions, store only as much state as you need for the current business transaction and no more. 12. Take advantage of application server features that do not require your code to be modified. 13. Play nice within existing environments. 14. Embrace the qualities of service provided by the application server environment. 15. Embrace Java EE, don't fake it. 16. Plan for vers

Awhile back I got a book in the mail with a polite request to review it. This happens about once a month. While I was curious about the title, Rainbows & Ratholes, I kept shuttling the book from bedside table to briefcase to the corner of my desk and back to my briefcase. As luck would have it, a 3-hour flight-delay coincided with the book being in my briefcase. I finished the book. Dan M. Kothari wrote the book as he says, "…to bridge the gap between theory and practice." It seems to be a common theme. There is much to like in the book, starting with the introduction. "Successful organizations embrace a projectized culture that is founded on the principles of customer focus, committed sponsorship, trusting relationships, outstanding teamwork, and continuous improvement." Kothari offers good advice and distinctive perspectives throughout his book I was struck that Kothari didn't speak about WBS, ROI, CPM, and risk management. But I didn't have to read far before tha
