A web page provides a set of prefetching hints to the browser, and after the browser is finished loading the page, it begins silently prefetching specified documents and stores them in its cache. When the user visits one of the prefetched documents, it can be served up quickly out of the browser\'s cache.Does prefetching work with HTTPS?Starting in Gecko 1.9.1 (Firefox 3.5), HTTPS content can be prefetched.

What are the prefetching hints?The browser looks for either an HTML link tag or an HTTP Link: header with a relation type of either next or prefetch. An example using the link tag follows:

via Link prefetching FAQ – MDC.

When people contact you, autoresponders have always been a great way to let them know “hey, I got it”. Most of us only use this feature when we go out of town, know as the “vacation message” telling people – “hey, i’m not available – call this other person” right?

So, what if you setup a simple email autoresponder that serves two purposes:

1) Thank that person for their email and let them know how important it is that they have contacted you.

2) Give them the opportunity to visit a link, faq, recent blog posts, social sites or even an email signup.

If you get 100 emails per day (That’s my personal average) about half are valid.

That’s 18,250 outbound email marketing autoresponder opportunities per year

1. Keep a close eye on your content and title tags. The more direct and simple – the better. Stuffing is one thing, diluting the effort is another.
2. Choose a single target per page and sprinkle some secondary related phrases.
3. Leave out meta tags completely to start. Focus on body content and page title – do not get overwhelmed with hidden tags.
4. Let the indexing work. Google loves you unconditionally, really, until you get agressive and do something stupid.
5. Know what you are indexing for – take a look at our other post on using the Google Keyword Tool for research.

How do I know if I am banned?

Pretty simple really, if you search Google for your direct domain – www.whatever.com and you do not display, and you’ve been around a bit. You are probably banned from the indexing.

1. Go to the Google External Keyword Tool here (we are going to open it in a new window so you can keep reading)
2. Enter a phrase in the box – something you think relates to your business (one of ours is “birmingham web design”)
3. Press “Get Keyword Ideas”
4. This shows you a couple of things: A) Do people actually search for it B) Additional phrases that relate to it.
5. Now, go to Google, enter the same phrase in the search box. Search. Are you on page 1, somewhere?

If you answered “YES” – keep picking phrases until you find something else you want to rank for. Do not stop. You stop, you die.

If you answered “NO” – go look at the title of your website. Put that exact phrase in your website title if it is not already there. Then get other websites to link to you using that phrase in the link.

The theory is easy. The work is hard.

Getting your content to market = getting your product to market

There are many ways to continually create product buzz on the internet. The best way is to publish the best content. Content is the same as your physical service. If you offer good service, people tell other people about it. If you offer good content, the do the same. This occurs on a larger and more annonymous scale (that is a good thing.)

Companies take stabs at creating uniformity and consistancy in their internet marketing efforts. It’s hard to understand how much effort it takes to harness the power and saturation of social media and blend it with the traditional message until you do it. It is easy to not only lose control of the effort, but very difficult to gauge the effectiveness of the initiative.

A few ideas for getting the content out and using the momentum

• Choose your initiative: We like to revolve the initiative around the phrases. The target of the initiative means nothing if searchers are not loooking for it.
• Phrase research: Perform careful analysis of basic phrase factors: what is the organic competition like, how many searches per month, also the paid competition.
• Choose the translator: What is the best angle to press the initiative? Is it blog tied to social, bookmarking, WIKI, FAQ, email, technical, press release, multimedia etc.
• Gauge the effort: Have your landing page or micro site strategy in place. This may require multiple splits for demographics, male, female age groups -but well worth it. Use the tools you are comfortable with to establish and track the goals within the initiative – sales, forms, calls, leads and on and on.

Verizon and AT&T swear that their data coverage is faster and better:

Sprint is killing both of you where we are. I have the fortunate, but also unfortunate opportunity to reside in a place which stares through the technological CRT windows 10 years into the future while the rest of the world, and country embraces and moves forward with technology: Birmingham, Alabama.  CahabaWeb has used Sprint mobile broadband access for 33 months. Yes, that is almost 3 years. We have never had a single problem with Sprint data service. This deserves giant letters:

I have never had a single problem, with Sprint data services in 33 months of use.

Did you read that? Amazing huh?

The Super Flexible Mobile Concept

I hate the thought of companies “giving” users netbooks and embedding the only data connection into that hardware. So limiting.

A) Sprint mobile broadband hotspot: Size of a credit card, keep it in your pocket and connect all of your mobile internet devices to it. iPad touch, netbook, notebook,desktop etc etc. Use it for traveling internet on EVERYTHING. Free device – $60 per month.

B) Flip phone: Honestly, I am to the point that I can’t stand the fact that my data, app and surfing usage is interrupted by a PHONE CALL! OMG! You just jammed my Pandora stream to tell me that?!?!?! Cheap, low cost throw-away flip phone. Phones are dead. Let’s split them from the data device already. We use txt to communicate for business much of the time. Txt is still majorly in play on a small device.

C) iPod touch. This gives you ALL of the usage and flexibility of the iPhone without the CONTRACT, 2 years of your life, replacement cost if damaged, and AT&T’s lousy data service. If you are rolling on the Sprint hotspot, your iPod touch be even cooler than the iPhone – plus it will never ring…UNLESS – you use Skype and bluetooth for your calls over the sprint mobile broadband, but that is a completely different story.

D) ASUS Netbook: Normally, I would not recommend netbook or even Windows. But, if you are going iPod touch – Umbuntu will not like you. Asus and a couple of other brands of notebooks have a quickboot linux OS that will let you run skype etc without a full boot desktop boot.

E) MacBook: 9 out of 10 high school and college students will tell you that they want/need a MAC. 10 out of 10 probably can’t tell you why, from a performance perspective and pricing perspective that it is what they need. No clue – it reflects the power of trend and marketing. Huge props on functionality, don’t get me wrong. I have seen small hardware on MAC back in the OS9 days run circles around the same hardware type on Windows.  MAC is great. Unfortunately, still 99 out of 100 real world business people that we deal with on a daily basis use……Windows. Your call on the notebook.

Hey, if you have any ideas or maybe an even BETTER Super Mobiler experience, please comment below!

The Apple iPad is not longer a dream, it exists. It’s a bit disappointing when it is what you actually thought it was going to be. Sometimes you want to be completely suprised. Looks like it will have:

• Web Browsing
• Google Maps Integration
• Media Integration
• Ipod
• Google Street View
• Switch between portrait and landscape

.5″ Thin  |  1.5 lbs  |  16GB – 64 GB of storage | WiFi 802.11n

Battery Life: 10 hours

Enclosure : Aluminum and Glass enclosure is recyclable

The device is not the breakthrough – The service and price structure is.

OK, the device is cool right? looks cool, probably works cool. The real breakthrough here is the service and price. We are talking 2 models, 16Gb with WIFI for $499 / The most expensive being the 32GB with 3G on AT&T which is $829ish.

On the 3G access – Normally, we are used to paying $60 per month for data – and a 2 year contract. That’s not what we are talking about here. $15 a month for 250mb – which is great – NO CONTRACT or unlimited for $30. Did I say no contract? Yes, I believe I just did. So, they are saying essentially:

“People can buy this “thing” for a pretty darn good price and get no contract internet for $15 a month”

OK, this is the breakthrough. Did not see that coming, I must admit.
