Comments(3) Face it you can have the best site in the world. But if it isn’t Seach Engine Optimized (SEO) you won’t have much for visitors. Search engine optimization can lead to a difference of being on the 30th page of google right up to being on the first page. Usually it is not the content or the lack of incomming links that is driving your page to the bottom. It is a problem getting your page to be more “machine readable”. You have to look at your page from Google’s perspective. Read more »
Often times we will use bash to create scripts for backing up or transfering files. A lot of times these files are transfered over a mounted network share or an external usb drive.
