Luckily enough, Jeremy Crane, the Director of Search & Online Media for Compete, agreed to an interview. Below, you can learn a lot more about how Compete gathers data, where they struggle, where they succeed and what the future of third party visitor analysis may hold.

From the DeveloperTutorials.com website today there’s a new walk-through showing you how to get PHP5 installed with Apache and MySQL onto a linux machine of your choosing. They chose to go with SuSE, but it should work on just about anything else.

We will set up PHP as a shared module, being loaded into Apache2 dynamically during the server startup. These instructions are known to work for PHP versions: 5.0.4 through 5.2.1.

They list a few prerequisites (the obvious ones) and where to grab the source for PHP. The rest is broken up into a few simple (hopefully) steps for the unpacking, compiling, configuring and integration with Apache.

Andrew sent over this interesting analysis of salary trends for PHP devs in London, was suprised such detailed info was available.  The only prob is the salary data is quite understated in my experience, advanced devs can easily find gigs for 50-70k, but it’s certainly true that agencies and often employers do very poor jobs differentiating between mediocre and ninja candidates.

Another shocker, for me at least, is while 200/day was quite a typical rate last year for html guys who knew a bit of CSS (PHP guys could get 300), this year has seen a significant jump with the frontend guys able to command 300/day.

Users sometimes would run into trouble at two stages when getting the PHP Web services extension working.

First the challenge is to get it installed. How can you check if it is working? Well, first, you can check with the phpinfo() function. If the extension is correctly installed, you will get an entry for the extension, with the name wsf. And a table following the wsf  title, you would see a table with ‘wsf support’ ‘enabled’ entries. That will be followed by the table displaying hte php.ini directives for WSO2 WSF/PHP extension. If this entry is missing form the phpinfo() page, that means the extension is not properly loaded.

Don’t Give Your Affiliates Duplicate Content - Please.Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Saturday, 5 of January , 2008 at 1:37 pm

A reader at SEOBook asked a good question, “We were thinking of mirroring our website by giving affiliates subdomains with our content like xyz.oursite.com. Is this a good idea or a duplicate content nightmare?”

Aaron Wall gave a good response and it was the same thing I’d have said. Rather than tell you what he said, I’m just going to answer it the way I would.

Duplicate Content For Affiliates Is Bad
If you present your affiliates with the same information you have on your website and in your marketing communications then you are setting them up with duplicate content, which isn’t going to help them and if it doesn’t help your affiliates, it won’t help you. That’s why you should provide your affiliates with marketing tools, but leave the creative content up to them. In other words, banners and code for a variety of marketing icons are good (give them plenty of choices, styles, sizes, colors, etc.). But when it comes to the actual content, allow them to create their own.
