Does Your Website Traffic Suck? Check this achievement: I top Google worldwide for a search on the words computers bartercard brisbane. Why? Well it's because I understand the art and theory of Search Engine Optimisation. Look, I even get on the front page of results for the search for Bartercard in Brisbane, a couple behind Batercard Brisbane West and note that Bartercard Australia Pty Ltd doesn't even rate the first page (at time of writing). That's actually astounding for my single page effort for Bartercard! Results speak, I say. Contact me if you want your website to work too.

Disaster Recovery: Get My SystemRestoreDVD. Total System Recovery solution allows you to rewrite your hard drive to precisely the condition it was in when I constructed it. Everyone has experienced the technician who says "Sorry, the xyz%#!^^ disaster has struck. You'll have to restore windows." Well now when disaster strikes you just use this DVD to rewrite the hard drive to as-new status, including all the software reinstated automatically in the one operation. You can even rewrite a brand new hard drive to this status.

For FULL TRADE I will come to your PC and take a digital image of your windows operating system. When disaster strikes and with Windows it most likely will some time, you can use this DVD to paint the hard drive back the way it was with minimal fuss. Check out the technology & free HowTo.

Disaster Prevention I: Viruses and Malware are the plague visited on Windows users by a very clever, billion dollar industry. Malicious code will get your data from time to time if you're a Windows user who doesn't take precautions. I've been safe for years from the wretches who craft these codes. Well now you can be pretty safe too for free with my tutorial on protecting your PCs. But if you want professional help or a focus on your particular environment from a guy who has been in the business for decades, I'm ready and willing on FULL TRADE. Just email me and I'll be in touch.

Disaster Prevention II: Here's the scene: You finish work. Stretch. Get up from your workstation. Pop a disk into the CD/DVD drive. Select "Reboot" and walk away - go home without looking back. The next morning you find that while you were driving home this is what happened:

  • While you were walking to the door, the computer powered down and then powered back up to reboot off a Linux operating system on the CD.
  • While you were walking to your car, a programme on the CD was checking to see which data files on your hard drive had changed.
  • While you were tuning your car radio, the changed files were being archived across to a secure backup drive attached by USB cable to your computer.
  • While you were daydreaming to Beethoven (or Rihanna) in traffic, the CD was tidying up and turning your workstation off.
  • While you were turning off the TV late that night, you didn't worry about your data at all.

I crafted this technique with the help of Open Source Software. I've prepared a tutorial for the adventurous who like to experiment with new technology. But if you're too busy or don't understand Linux, just contact me on this link and I'll get on the case for you.

Well that's all for to-day folks.
