Google updated not too long ago and this blog has found it’s way into a PageRank 1 in only a month. I set the blog up at this domain on March 3rd and really haven’t put a significant amount of work into it besides writing a few posts and registering it with a few places. Alexa is still giving it a 1.5M ranking, which is simply no good. We’re doing about 700k on Compete and nothing on MozRank. All in all though, for a month, really not too bad. It’s like fishing. You get better bait or a wider net. (more…)

If you are on a PC and would like to setup an environment for PHP, MySQL, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, JAVA, GWT-EXT, Tomcat, and use Eclipse as your editor, here’s a step by step guide. The instructions shouldn’t be very different for Linux except for some path changes and lack of *.exe files.
- Though a bit unrelated unless you’re working with PHP, MySQL, as well, I like to install WAMP, which can be found here. It’s pretty much the same thing as XAMP, but with a nice and friendly GUI and a lot easier to customize to match your server environment to your local environment.
- Install JAVA Runtime Environment, found here. You pretty much only need the first download, but if you would like to have command line ability, grab that as well. You can always add it later on.
- You’ll want to install Apache’s Tomcat, found here. Grab the Windows Service installer for a quick and easy. Through the install process, the wizard will ask you to point it at the JAVA Runtime Environment you installed in step 2. (more…)

There are probably thousands of pieces of advice SEO experts will give. The majority of which is duplicate, wrong, or just not helpful. Finding a really good SEO team can be hard, there are a lot of used car salesmen out there. At Epiphany Digital, we’re really concerned about doing it right, tracking the results, measuring the facts. I’ve made a short list of the top ten SEO practices that can really get your site playing ball.
- Make sure your code is W3C valid! It’s really important that your page is easy reading for Google, Yahoo, and the rest of the gang. This will also help with cross browser compatibility.
- Have really outstanding content, and lots of it. The more pages that are indexed by Google the better, especially if those pages are being read by real visitors. It’s not enough to have a lot of content. Google does measure how long your visitors stay on a page. Besides that, it’s your readers that ultimately matter anyway. If you do nothing else with SEO, follow these first two pieces of advice. (more…)

- Our process is made easy. We have an initial consultation with you about your website design needs.
- Provide us with the content you have created, whether it be text or graphics. Don’t have a logo already? Let one of our graphic designers take care of that for you.
- We create a PDF for you to review the look of your site before it’s created. Get up to three revisions.
- We turn that PDF into a modern Web 2.0 interactive marketing experience.
- Profit!
Well, maybe we’re jumping the gun a little bit. You’ve got a great site, but how are you getting traffic? How are you getting targetted traffic? What about conversion? What about ROI!? What about the bottom dollar!? During this Thanksgiving season, I’m suddenly reminded of Lucy from the Peanuts comics giving Charlie Brown superfluous advice.
