<style type="text/css">
tag {mystyle: inherit 10px inherit 10px !important}
</style>


… or …


<tag style="mystyle: inherit 10px inherit 10px !important">


Well the answer is simple, but can be confusing since its not as one might expect. If you use “inherit” as one of the values in your CSS then the entire style specified may be overridden by inheritance.

For example:


<style type="text/css">
div {margin: inherit 10px inherit 10px !important}
</style>


… or …


<div style="margin: inherit 10px inherit 10px !important">


… will be overridden by CSS present in stylesheets even though you may have specified !important or used the style inline, as in the second example.

So, if you want the inherited values to be carried through in these cases where your CSS is being overridden you can specify just the ones you want changed. In this case…


<style type="text/css">
div {margin-right: 10px; margin-left:10px;}
</style>


… or …


<div style="margin-right: 10px; margin-left:10px;">


My name is Lienka Mills and I was wondering if you are interested in exchange links, I’ll place your link on my sites exactly here:

saturdaydownsouth(dot)net PR4
yourchoice4ptonline(dot)com PR3

If you agree please send me your site details:

Title:
Url:

I’ll place your link in less than 24 hours, then I’ll send you an email with my info.

Regards

If you don’t want to receive more mails just reply with “unsubscribe”.

I thought this was a great offer since was going to get a link from a PR4 and a PR3 site
(that’s 2 links) to my PR 1 site – seemingly a site owner’s dream. Heck, if I wanted to be sneaky about it I could still do the link an benefit from it since I still get a PR 3 linking to me – but I have not.

There’s often some truth in lies. In this case, it appears that although saturdaydownsouth.net appears to be PR Hijacking saturdaydownsouth.com (innocent site), but the second site mentioned in the email does have a PR3, though it was possibly a PR Hijacker in the past – who knows?

So why does someone do this? Well right now the PR Hijacker site has most likely exchanged links with the listed below (these are sites giving “Google Juice” to the PR Hijacker, and getting nothing in exchange):

saturdaydownsouth.com (the site whose PR is being hijacked).

LIST OF SITES REMOVED … OUTDATED POST

If your site is on the list above, you might want to read this entire post and the two below in “More Resources on PR Hijacking” and decide on a proper course of action.

You will get some emails after submitting to some of these, in particular FreeWebSubmissions and the sites it submits you to will send emails. Its best to have a throw-away email for that purpose, more about that later. I will write more tips about submitting and a bit about Google PR (in case you are furrowing your brow)

Setting up your email is one of those things that can readily be answered on the web with some quick searches. I think, however, that lots of times people talk themselves out of do-it-yourself service when it comes to email setup.

Even so, basic email setup requires very little info for email setup so you can send and receive email.

• your name
• incoming mail server (also called POP3 Server)
• outgoing mail server (also called the sending mail server and the SMTP Server)
• email username
• email password

Your name is fairly obvious, and is what’s displayed in most modern email programs as the sender of the email.

The incoming mail server will often match the website name its related to. If your email address is someone@example.com then your incoming mail server may be mail.example.com or pop.example.com.

The outgoing mail server is also related to the website name its related to and will often be either mail.example.com or smtp.example.com.

Your email username is will either be the portion of your email address to the left of the @ symbol, or your entire email address (someone, or someone@example.com).

Your email password is obvious since you either chose it or it was assigned to your email for you.

YOUR ISP AND EMAIL

Some ISP’s may require special settings, often for the outgoing mail server name and sometimes special port numbers. The best way to find out is to ask or check their website or search engines for details.

YOUR EMAIL PROGRAM AND YOUR EMAIL

Some email programs have more options than the basics described here. Check with your email program’s help, or online at your email program’s website. for example many email programs will manage more than one email account, and they don’t all handle multiple email accounts the same way. One thing they have in common, however, is assigning your email a special name like “My Work Email” or similar so when there is an error message or you need to edit settings its less confusing.

1. What is Search Engine Optimization VS SEO-friendly?

2. Why isn’t my site already optimized for search engines?

3. What difference does an SEO Expert make?

1. What is Search Engine Optimization VS SEO-friendly?

Let’s start with SEO-friendly. This means a website has good HTML structure (PHP, ASP, HTML, whatever scripting language you use), well-organized and other basic considerations.

2. Why isn’t my site already optimized for search engines?

For my direct clients it usually means that a proposal including SEO was turned down, the client didn’t provide any description or keywords the website, or opted to use a Search Engine Professional. In either case I build an SEO-friendly site using available information.

Its really better for my clients to tell me about their business from the inside, rather than me telling the search engines what I think my client’s business is – without my client’s valuable insight into their industry. Also, though I’m very good at SEO, I don’t claim to be an SEO Expert, and I don’t make guarantees about SEO. See how I perform in Google for these keyword term sets (as of the date of this posting):

charleston affordable web design …[rank 6] [update : rank 2 see note]

charleston sc web design …[rank 57] [update : rank 2 see note]

charleston web design …[rank 68] [update : rank 123 see note]

Now onto the question of SEO Expertise.

3. What difference does an SEO Expert make?

The differences are options, cost and results.

MORE OPTIONS

An SEO Expert will have more options than I will come up with – Search Engine Marketing (SEM) strategies, pay-per-click (PPC) options, and more in-depth knowledge of leveraging more search engines for your website than I can.

HIGHER COST

You will possibly pay more for a reputable SEO Expert to monitor and craft an SEO campaign and SEO results for your site than you will to get the site built by George Conklin Web Design.

RESULTS

An SEO Expert will produce quicker, higher, more reliable placements in more search engines than you will get from someone who is not an expert.

* NOTES on Google Rank Updates: These are my rank for these keywords as of 9/24/2011 using California as my “Google location.” I chose California because I don’t want to see how my site performs only locally.

My original Divergent Web Design website went up sometime in 2001, even though I can’t remember it any more. I went through several designs in the first couple of years as I learned HTML and then later ASP.

Later I settled on the design I’ve had for several years (labeled Previous Design in the screenshot).  Then earlier this year I got tired of the old design and put up a new home page (labeled Replaced Site in the screenshot) with brand new code and an improved look, at least semi-updated. I’ve always been more interested in working on client sites than the Divergent Web Site.

Well, this year I put the new home page up and re-wrote some of the home page text and killed some old and useless pages.  Since then, I see checking tonight that I show on the first page of results for affordable charleston design, affordable charleston web design, and charleston budget web design on Google, Yahoo! and Bing. However for just charleston web design I fall off of the home page in all three.
