Walter's Jewelry #FridayFlopFix Website Review

by
Walters Jewelry FridayFlopFix Website Review daily-golden-nugget-1504-61
This is my weekly website review where I search for a retail jeweler at random through Google and pick apart what they are doing online. I try to uncover the flops that are being made so I can suggest the fixes needed to improve what they are doing.

This week, I started my Google search with the phrase "jewelers Brookline, MA" and quickly found myself heading down a rabbit hole after viewing these results:

Identifying and Dealing With A Hacked Website

by
Identifying and Dealing With A Hacked Website daily-golden-nugget-1196-18
During my Throwback Thursday Nugget last week, I dug up the old story of bad neighborhoods and how they could negatively impact your website.

The negative impacts I mentioned included slower website response time, potential for server downtime, and lower Google ranking if too many of your website neighbors involve porn, gambling, or E.D. drug websites.

Regin: A Real Threat For Anyone Outsourcing daily-golden-nugget-1161-87

CAPTCHA: Good and Evil

by
CAPTCHA: Good and Evil 1696-daily-golden-nugget-1037
