Why Google and other search engines are so important

93% of all online activities begin on a search engine like Google.* Most people click on the first three results, and the remaining results get just 5% or less of all clicks!*

That’s why it’s so important for your website to have a high search engine ranking. Even local stores benefit from a great online presence: One in three people search online for immediate, same-day offline purchases.*

In short: The easier you are to find online, the more potential customers you’ll reach!

Important Security Notification

The popular WordPress plugin WP Super Cache has been found to have a critical vulnerability in versions 1.4.3 and lower. The vulnerability is a persistent cross-site scripting attack. Using this vulnerability, an attacker using a carefully crafted query could insert malicious scripts to the plugin’s cached file listing page. When executed, the injected scripts could be used to perform a lot of other things like adding a new administrator account to the site, injecting backdoors by using WordPress theme edition tools, etc.

All WordPress users who utilize the plugin should immediately update WP Super Cache to version 1.4.4.

Google prepares algorithm change

Google prepares algorithm change that will push website owners to mobile.

What Google is telling us is that mobile-friendly and mobile-responsive websites will be rewarded with better positioning in Google’s mobile search engine results, and thus more traffic from a rapidly expanding user base. Conversely, websites that are not mobile friendly will see less mobile organic traffic, receive a smaller piece of the expanding mobile pie, and will be forced to rely on a shrinking desktop-based audience.
