- Starkbierfest in Munich
The Starkbierfest has started again in Munich. This is a beer festival which runs during the lent period. The name means ’strong beer’ and is a reference to the heavy ingredients monks used to add to their beer during the fasting season leading up to Easter. Monks were not allowed to eat much during this [...]

- Back in Business
Due to recent situations, the ClickinLove Blog had been temporarily suspended. Whilst these circumstances are unique, it is fair to say that things are still a bit shaky and regular postings to the blog may be infrequent for a while yet. Nevertheless, it is my hope that things will return to normal soon. Interestingly, despite [...]

- Blog Updates
Having a blog is a useful tool in the SEO campaign, but using it to generate content is not enough for a site’s needs. It is critically important, in order to reach the full effect of your blog, to regularly update it. I use the term ‘regularly’ with a lot of emphasis here. It is [...]

- PHP Website Programming
What does PHP stand for and what does it do?
PHP is a recursive definition, much like GNU (GNU Not Unix), and is an acronym for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. This is engineering humour and mirrors the recursive nature of some of the standard programming constructs that any programmer will be familiar with. It follows [...]

- Munich Speed Dating
When it first gained popularity, Speed dating sounded like a shallow fad which would soon disappear. However, that was definitely not the case. Many years later and it is still going strong across the world with many varied spin-offs doing the rounds as well. Why the popularity?
One reason is that it gives participants the chance [...]

- SEO Consulting
One of the most awkward things to deal with as an SEO practitioner is the expectations of customers. It is often hard to convince them that SEO takes a long time to fully work and campaign results will not be obvious for many months. Sometimes it can take over a year for really competitive terms [...]

- Proliferation of Dating Sites
Have you noticed how many different dating sites exist online today? How can so many survive when they are in fact in direct competition with each other. Well there are four main factors to explain this apparently contradictory situation:
Not all are in direct competition with each other and happily manage to exist in niche markets
Many [...]

- Dating Dangers
One of the risks of online dating is that you never really know who you are contacting. Normally this is not really an issue as long as you follow sensible guidelines and keep safety foremost in your mind. Many people are too trusting and in their haste to find love leave themselves vulnerable to various [...]

- Social Bookmarking
‘Web 2′ is due to make an appearance and ‘take the net by storm’, apparently. One of the many facets of Web 2 is what is called Social Bookmarking. These are sites centred around user-generated content that includes individuals placing their favourite links online for all to see. It is a good way to get [...]

- Dating Site Link Bait
A tricky subject and one which deserves a lot of attention is link bait. What sort of link bait would work on a dating site (or any site for that matter)? Ideally we would want something which would appeal both to the users of the site and webmasters looking for something hot to link to. [...]

- Ajax Feed
AJAX is a useful cornerstone of ‘Web 2′. As part of my effort to streamline administration of the dating site, I have placed a utilities management page online (password protected of course). With this I use AJAX scripting to populate forms with content extracted from purpose-specific databases. This in turn allows me to generate ‘feeds [...]

- Website Security
The issue of website security is an important one and worth learning a bit about. Hacking is an often misinterpreted phrase which many people use to describe illegally accessing and/or modifying restricted network content. This in fact is called Cracking.
Cracking is something every webmaster needs to be aware of, especially if you have a database [...]

- SEO Sitemap
I have started to create what I call an SEO Sitemap. It is a cross between a roadmap and a sitemap for the site’s SEO campaign. This document will be a clickable sitemap with links to information on every page on the site. This information will take the form of page keywords/phrases, keyword density, total [...]

- RSS Reader
I created a Google Reader account and subscribed the ClickInLove blog to it, just to see if the site feeds work ok. The results seem fine, in that Google Reader picks up the feeds ok. A Windows XP-based reader I downloaded did not work however. I need to investigate this further.
What is all the fuss [...]

- Grey-hat SEO Techniques
Not all SEO techniques are good - not all are bad; somewhere in between lies grey-hat techniques. These are those tried and tested ‘tricks’ which are not not altogether unethical, but which are definitely open to abuse and nearly invariably are abused.
Let us talk about Blogs and the SEO angle. It is fine to leave [...]
