Google news appears to have sections of it missing. Perhaps they are censoring the news? Or is it a “technical” glitch?

Apologies for not blogging for the last few days. Right now I am working on three projects that require a good bit of my time.
However, as always, you can email Protocol Solutions or place comments.
Thank you

I had to do some testing that required a proxy in Ireland. Bascially our IP at the time was not recogised as being Irish based, even though it was…
Anyway it took ages to find a working list of proxies in Ireland.
So the list is here : free Irish based proxies
Some reasons you might want to use a proxy would be: when for example your ip is not recognised by Eircom.net and you want to login to their webmail. Sure there are other reasons but I am not gonna list them here:-)

After much consideration, in light of the fact that small and medium business may not be able to afford GFI Lanuguard NSS, Protocol Solutions is going to offer GFI Languard at a 40% discount to companies with less than 150 employees.
Prices will be active from 14th February at this link only:
More details in a few hours will be posted here.

Ok,
Finally managed to get Google Translate to work with the Protocol Solutions blog without breaking the sidebars. Readers will appreciate this, as I am sure it was annoying to read with sidebars all over the place, depending what transalation you choose!
The only issue is when transalating is with spanish, which still breaks sidebars, but I am sure I will figure something out.

There appears to be another wordpress bug, but only on the Products and Services page. The right sidebar is not showing up.
Added this to the “to do” list of things to fix at the blog

We have turned on “no follow” and we now are getting less backtrack spam or comment spam.

I have done some SEO tweaking to the blog, and I ran a report using WebSite Grader. The Protocol Solutions blog got a SEO grade of 90/100.
The last time I did this the blog got a grade of 82/100 or 83/100. This is not a drastic improvment, but its always nice to be quantify the various changes and “know” that (eventually), these changes will help organic searching.
I dont know why but now our Alexa rank is about 608,000. The last time I checked this it was somewhere around the 1.3 million mark! Obviously this is a big improvment.
We had hoped to break 5,000 visitors a month, and we did. It is only the beginning of the second week of February, and already we have had 7,000 visitors. This is great!
The blog, is getting double the traffic , that the homepage gets, but nobody is complaining

We wanted to use google transalator, as in our opinion, it gave better context.
However we had to go with another different transalation tool because google kept seeing the query as “an automated query”
It is of course an automated query! Another bug to add to the “to do” list.
So far now there are a few langauges that customers can transalate to (see the left bar), but the sidebars on the left and right will get mis-placed…dont know why. Thats the second thing to add to the “to do list”.
We will of course continue to work on these issues and fix them as best as we can.
