Google Changes Search Keyword Reporting

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:11:55 -0900

Back in October, Google announced they had changed how they reportÂ information to various analytics programs. In short, searches performed on Google by visitors signed into any Google service (Google+, YouTube, iGoogle, GMail are just some) will not report any keywords to analytics programs, not even to Google Analytics.

How this affects you

Maybe it doesn't - if you aren't looking at the keywords that bring people to your website, then this doesn't change anything for you. If you are looking at your keywords and their performance (and you should be), then this will. If you use any of Google's services, it will affect behavior when you search, follow a link and then try to get back to the search results.

PHP Developers Release Updates

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 23:49:41 -0900

The PHPÂ development team has released 2 updates to PHPÂ - 5.3.7 andÂ 5.3.8, just 5 days later. There were over 90 fixes and improvements in these releases, increasing the overall stability and performance of PHP. The reason version 5.3.8 was released only 5 days after 5.3.7 was to correct 2 serious bugs introduced by the 5.3.7 version. All webmasters should note that PHPÂ 5.2 is no longer supported by the developers and you should be moving your applications to the newer version.

PHP Update: 5.3.6 Released

Thu, 24 Mar 2011 03:50:01 -0900

The latest update to the PHPÂ (Hypertext Prepocessor) programming language has recently been released, without a corresponding update to the older version. The PHPÂ team (www.php.net) has released PHPÂ 5.3.6 without any corresponding updates to the 5.2 series of PHP, indicating it truly has ended support of 5.2. If you are managing your own web server, you are strongly urged to move to the 5.3 release of PHP. If you maintain a website that uses PHP, as most content management systems do, we recommend you make sure your web platform will run on PHPÂ 5.3, as Internet service providers are likely to be upgrading PHPÂ on their servers.
