SEO Tips to be a top competitor

In a search engine, the competition for the most attention is endless! With an astounding number of companies and individuals using a website for personal interests or to run a business, Search Engine Optimization becomes imperative. Below mentioned are some tips from a well-noted SEO Company UK that will help you in generating good traffic to your website.

TIP NO 1: Unique and interesting content is the heartbeat of SEO. Content that has no useful and viewer-attracting information, yet loads of keywords cannot gain visibility and will lose its value in search engine. Hence, the success or failure of a good SEO lies in content.
TIP NO 2: It is very important that your website is updated with useful and relevant information. When your site is added with new content regularly, it will increase the number of visitors accessing your site and ensures your existing customers remain loyal to your site improving your ranking.
TIP NO 3: Choosing of a popular phrase and proper keyword is of utmost important since it is the factor that generates page views. Keep in mind that using very popular keywords might be tempting; however they receive huge competition from the online global market. It is also preferred if the keywords are in the title tag of the page.
TIP NO 4: The easy readability of your HTML page helps the search engine bots as well as screen readers to have better access and improve the ranking of your page. Also there is an option of using the keywords in the URL in case it doesn’t fit in with the content or title tag.
TIP NO 5: It is advised not to use too many keywords in the content since they are an easy turn off for a reader. Use links to place your keywords since they stand out the most in the web page.
TIP NO 6: Trading or buying external links on an external site is a good way to build business; however, too many cross-links can be recognized as a spam by a search engine bot. Hence be careful!
TIP NO 7: Inbound links from a reputable site is considered valuable. If the sites represent government institutes or universities or schools, it will get a good exposure to different people. It is also wise to choose a site that has similarity to your site for relevance and viewer readability.
TIP NO 8: Keep your site alive for a longer duration with good updates and attractive content. Also, providing the readers a chance to submit views, queries and feedback, will ensure your site is organically rich and hence has good visibility in search engine results.

WordPress - Fatal error: Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted



If you get a WordPress Fatal Error message similar to: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 81 then this tutorial is for you. We've helped several of our students with similar issues so we decided to write a tutorial to hopefully help someone else out as well.

Background Information About Memory Limit

Memory limit sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server.
In most cases if you get a memory limit error it's due to a faulty addon. If you're at 32 or 64 M, that should be more than enough. If you set it to 128 M, and it's still getting the error, then you for sure know it's a faulty addon. So the key question is what addon did you install prior to this?

Things to Try

Here are some things to try in this order:
1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 128M:
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
3. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 128M
4. Talk to your host.

Plugin for Keeping Track of Memory Usage

You can use TPC! Memory Usage to keep track of the memory usage in WordPress:
