Can the web allow your local business reach the greatest number of potential clients?

Just a few years ago when we needed to find a phone number of a business, where did we turn? You guessed it! The Yellow Pages. And as well as that worked five or ten years ago, it’s not working as well in the information age we live in today. While traditional advertising is still a great solution, new statistics prove that consumer local online search usage is growing more and more rapidly each year.

A few quick facts about online search…

• The recession is forcing business owners to find new, more cost effective solutions for advertising and marketing. Many of them are turning to the web!
• According to Internet World Stats, Internet user growth has climbed 140% from 2000 to 2009 in North America!
• comScore data shows from February of 2007 to February of 2008 local business searches increased by 76% and Kelsey Group estimates that 20% of all online web searches have local intent.
• Forrester Research estimates $917 billion worth of retail sales in 2009 were “Web-influenced” in contrast to $155 billion of consumer goods sold online in the same year.
• Matt Ackerson, from CenterNetworks, in early 2009 said: “The future of the internet will become more locally focused.”

What should these facts mean to you? Right now it’s easier than ever to launch and promote your own website! The opportunity the web has to offer is skyrocketing! The number of people using the web is greater than ever before. More and more people are using online search engines to find local businesses, and most exciting news is that…nearly half of these searches have a buying intent!

I spent a lot of time building large apps and writing tons of code that never saw the light of day. While at the same time I watched less experienced coders get a head quicker by building small scripts. Why didn’t I see what I was doing wrong? Because I thought quality chewed up quantity every time.

But the thing is, this is only half true. Then She Found Me video

See, quality in it’s self only matters to a certain extent. Quality doesn’t always mean progress. A Ferrari won’t let you take your kids to soccer practice. There needs to be a certain balance between quality and quantity.

Progress shouldn’t be sacrificed for perfection.

Most people appreciate quality. But sacrificing quality for progress won’t ensure that your product/application/song/book will be a hit.

It also doesn’t give you a whole lot to trip over and learn from.

For an example, take this blog. All of my posts haven’t been perfect, and by making mistakes I’ve learned how to become a better writer. Now if I would have decided that each one of my posts were going to be perfect King Kong video Killer Bean Forever full

and on target every time(in other words, better than everyone else’s) Hide and Seek the movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire on dvd

• drive thru dvd

I would have made around 4-5 posts in the 8 months I’ve been blogging. In fact I might have not even started this blog if I decided to be perfect. Looking back to my first few blogs, the mistakes I made(and not the ones I avoided) were MOST valuable.

The progressive man learns from his mistakes on the way and as a result continues to progress. The perfectionist doesn’t think he’s making any mistakes, until the end when it’s too late.

Make SURE you’re making progress.
Don’t decide to become better ALL AT ONCE. Quality comes in layers. Your product(s) will improve incrementally.

I’ve been using PHP for a few years. I love it and I think it’s a great language. Of course it has it’s soft spots, like naming convention for functions(like n2br(), strtr(), str_replace, etc.).

Though with the growing popularity of Python and Ruby, what’s going to happen to PHP? Ruby, a language built for convenience and Python, a powerful language built for speed both run over PHP in those two aspects. Is there a reason to stick with PHP? And why not switch to something more efficient? PHP scripts sometimes take longer to write and are also harder to debug. Ruby ranks as one of the highest in terms of maintenance and ease of speed. Python is portable, powerful and fast!

PHP’s strong points are it’s documentation, afford-ability, support and popularity

. A person with a business plan can rustle up PHP free-lancers pretty fast. PHP is that language that has almost always had support from hosting companies, and that being said, has always been more available to beginners. PHP also gets a rap for allowing inexperienced developers to create unmaintainable, messy code. Not as a Stranger video

This happens too many times, where code gets passed on and all you can do shake your head… At the same time experienced coders have developed some of the net’s most popular web applications.

The real test for PHP will come when they finally release PHP6, which has been anticipated for four or more years. By eliminating tons of crap, adding name spaces, better speed performance and more efficiency PHP6 will show what PHP is actually capable of. This will truly be PHP’s time to shine.

Please pass this on to your fellow developers.:)

I just logged into Wordpress today, forgot that 2.7 was released. It looks awesome. It’s simpler IMO. Love it!
