SEO : votre newsletter peut affecter le classement de votre site dans Google ! Ce qu’il y a de bien avec les techniques d’optimisation de référencement dans les moteurs de recherche (SEO), c’est que l’on en apprend tous les jours, que l’on soit un cador de la discipline ou un simple amateur curieux. Ce qu’il y a de moins bien c’est que l’on apprend parfois à ses dépens. Mise à jour importante : Matt Cutts de Google a apporté ce jour un démenti à cette information. Ainsi ai-je découvert via un article sur The Next Web qu’un truc qui parait aussi déconnecté du web qu’une newsletter peut avoir un impact négatif sur le classement de votre site dans les moteurs de recherche. Comment cela est-il possible ? Jake Ludington explique le principe d’email reputation : Les principaux fournisseurs de services d’email, comme Gmail, Hotmail, AOL ou Yahoo! Cela va peut-être vous paraître injuste et même intrusif : Google utilise les informations récoltées auprès de utilisateurs de son service d’email Gmail pour améliorer son filtre anti-spam. Comment éviter cette pénalité ?
How to Choose a Domain Name [Infographic] - Who Is Hosting This: The Blog By the end of 2012, the Internet held nearly a quarter of a billion registered domain names, many of which did their owners no particular favors. Choosing the right domain name is a critical part of defining your business online, and just as important as choosing the right host (if not more so). While “TedSmithMotorPartsManufacturing.com” may be an accurate representation of your business and your brand, it’s heavy mental furniture when stacked up against something like “SmithMotors.com”—and you want to keep things light and lively for your potential customers when they’re searching the Web or typing in the address bar. When it comes to selecting a domain name, striking a balance between these critical elements—simplicity, memorability, relevance—is the key to catching the elusive lightning of success in your online bottle. Choosing the right domain name doesn’t have to be a hit-or-miss proposition.
CSS Quick Tip: CSS Arrows and Shapes Without Markup Nate Cavanaugh is the Director of User Interface Engineering for Liferay Inc., in which he helps guide not only the interface for end user products, but also the interface for different development methodologies. Nate currently heads up Liferay’s AlloyUI project, which is built on top of YUI3. With an extensive history in UI design and development, he is constantly looking for ways to simplify the user and developer experience alike. While responsible day-to-day for everything from UI design and Javascript development to Java integration and code refactoring, in his off time he enjoys drawing, reading, watching movies and hanging out with his wife and two dogs. Often it’s useful to show an arrow or some sort of contextual indication of what element something is related to. Today I’m going to show you a way to add in these visual hints without having to create any markup. So we didn’t want to add in custom markup to show visual relationship for one set of tabs vs. another. Caveats
Panda Update : pourquoi Google énerve les webmasters Avec Panda Update, Google s'attire de nombreuses critiques que son attitude "autiste" vis à vis des webmasters américains ne contribue pas à régler rapidement. Sur le papier, tout devait bien se passer. Le 24 février 2011, Google mettait en ligne une modification substantielle de son algorithme sur sa version américaine. Son origine ? D'un autre côté, la montée en puissance des fermes de contenus aux Etats-Unis avec le rachat de Associated Content par Yahoo et l'introduction en bourse de Demand Media. Et en toile de fond, on peut l'imaginer, une volonté de Google de "désintermédier" le Web, c'est-à-dire de supprimer les étapes inutiles entre un internaute et un contenu, et même entre un internaute et une publicité. Son résultat ? Les webmasters s'énerventSi Google a réussi à frapper un grand coup, il s'est en revanche attiré les critiques de très nombreux webmasters. D'autres encore s'énervent que Google pénalise un site dans son intégralité à cause de certaines pages incorrectes.
How People Read Online [Infographic] Now that reading online involves a bevy of social actions, from sharing to commenting across a plethora of devices, how many of your site’s readers will make it past the first paragraph? Scan This In 1997, the Nielsen Norman Group reported that 79 percent of our test users always scanned any new page they came across; only 16 percent read word-by-word. Over the past decade, we’ve learned more about how people read (or don’t read) online. Eye-tracking studies have shown that when looking at text-based webpages, the eye gaze commonly follow an F-shaped pattern and that users spend 80% of time looking at content above the fold. Will You Read This? Recently Farhad Manjoo, Slate's technology columnist investigated this issue further in his article You Won’t Finish This Article. In the Slate example, only 25 percent of readers make it past the 1,600th pixel of the page though it has a higher percentage of time people who spend “below the fold” than compared to the average website.

JavaScript Array Remove I have another handy method, that I recently developed, that allows you to simply remove an item – or a group of items – from an array. Like with my implementation of JavaScript Method Overloading I wanted something that was concise, elegant, speedy, and highly effective. So here’s the method that I came up with: and here’s some examples of how it could be used: // Remove the second item from the arrayarray.remove(1);// Remove the second-to-last item from the arrayarray.remove(-2);// Remove the second and third items from the arrayarray.remove(1,2);// Remove the last and second-to-last items from the arrayarray.remove(-2,-1); I extend that native Array prototype, if you don’t want to extend a global object, you can do something like the following, instead: Here’s a couple goals that I had for the method: To start with, most “remove” methods that you’ll find on the Internet end up making use of two slice operations (and a concat) in order to compose the final result, like so:
Microformats and RDFa deployment across the Web « Tripletalk I have presented on previous occasions (at Semtech 2009, SemTech 2010, and later at FIA Ghent 2010, see slides for the latter, also in ISWC 2009) some information about microformat and RDFa deployment on the Web. As such information is hard to come by, this has generated some interest from the audience. Unfortunately, Q&A time after presentations is too short to get into details, hence some additional background on how we obtained this data and what it means for the Web. The chart below shows the deployment of certain microformats and RDFa markup on the Web, as percentage of all web pages, based on an analysis of 12 billion web pages indexed by Yahoo! Microformats and RDFa deployment on the Web (% of all web pages) The data is given below in a tabular format. There are a couple of comments to make: There are many microformats (see microformats.org) and I only include data for the ones that are most common on the Web. Like this: Like Loading...
