Theme HQ - SEO, The Internet & Computers

I offer a compute repair service in my local area. Most faults are simple to diagnose - others are a real pain. Yesterday I came up with a situation that I nearly didn’t solve.

The computer itself worked fine - no issues other than a bit slow (most people that I tend to visit do have slow computers). The issue came about as soon as the router was turned on to get internet access. within a couple of seconds of turning the router on the computer restarted.

When I first received the call I assumed that most likely it was a power (more…)

The long awaited release of Firefox three is now out.

A few people have struggled to download it - I have, within the last few minutes got a copy from here:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%203.0.exe

Hopefully you will have the same luck!

As a webmaster myself I am constantly looking for ways that can improve my site.  The main way this can be achieved is by building links.

Of course we should never forget that content is king. The way I interpret this is due to my own experiences. I had a very strong site that Google loved but the visitors got put off by the appearance - I spent too long worrying about links and I neglected the most important thing - the content. Without good content you will not make it in the world of the internet. Your visitors are the single most important thing and if you do not please them, you have no hope.

Link building is the next most important factor (more…)

Over the years I have built and owned many web sites. Here I would like to share with you my experiences to help you avoid some of the pitfalls I suffered.

I have been working with computers and the internet for many years and subsequently learned a lot of valuable information which I would like to share with you.

Unfortunately we have felt it neccesary to now remove all wordpress themes from this site. The main reason for this is most themes contain sponsored links within the footer of the themes. As we all know, paid links are against Google policies. Subsequently, even my own designer links could be classed as a paid link leading to penalties by Google or worst case, being banned.

Theme HQ is a part of several sites that I own. It generates zero revenue and therefore it is simply not worth running, I prevously have been more than happy to host Themehq as place to share wordpress themes as the maintenance costs were minimal. Now however I find that having themes here that contain these frowned upon links could have a detrimental effect to other sites I own, I simply do not want to take the risk.

Yes it is true I could manually go through and remove all sponsored links but I simply do not have the time. So very sorry - but this is the end for me and wordpress themes.

I intend to keep this blog up and running, Commentluv and keywordluv are activated as well as it being a dofollow blog so feel free to comment and get a little link love.

I would like to thank eveyone who has helped contribute to ThemeHQ
