Overworked, UnderPaid and usually Overlooked,
Sound familiar?
That is your WordPress Data Base!
According to Wiki:
“Databases consist of software-based “containers” that are structured to collect and store information so users can retrieve, add, update or remove such information in an automatic fashion. Database programs are designed for users so that they can add or delete any information needed. The structure of a database is tabular, consisting of rows and columns of information.”
For WordPress; it is the engine that drives your blog every hour of the day, most of us tend to “Set it and Forget it”, and since it is constantly changing; it does require upkeep and maintenance!
Data Base Plugins (DBP’s) serve the purpose of keeping your WordPress Data Dase in good shape and in turn keep your blog up and running and you do not have to use your CPanel Data Base Wizards or phpMyAdmin. Ignore maintenance and you will be facing Ghost Pages that belong to past plugins you deactivated way back; a few KB’s of data that will make your blog run slower (OverHead) or in the worst case scenario: Going off the web!
WP-Optimize
Author description:
“WP-Optimize is a wordpress 2.7++ database cleanup and optimization tool. It doesn’t require PhpMyAdmin to optimize your database tables. It allows you to remove post revisions, comments in the spam queue, un-approved comments within few clicks.”

WP-DBManager
Author description:
“Allows you to optimize database, repair database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database , drop/empty tables and run selected queries. Supports automatic scheduling of backing up and optimizing of database.”
Home Page
Clean Options
Handle this one with care; it is for advanced users only! It does however supply a link to google any option you do not know BEFORE deleting it.
Author description:
“Finds orphaned options and allows for their removal from the wp_options table.”
Home Page
GD Press Tools
Takes the place of a few plugins, but provide tools to optimize, repair and Back up your Data Base.
Author description:
GD Press Tools is a collection of various administration, seo, maintenance, backup and security related tools. This tools can be integrated into the various WordPress admin panels, can perform maintenance operations, change some aspects of WordPress, see detailed server settings and information. Plugin can also track posts and pages views for various popularity lists.
Home Page
Things to remember:
-
Back up your Data Base FIRST: You would have a copy of your old Data Base before any changes to fall back on in case anything went wrong.
-
Optimize once a month: Unless you have a very busy blog; once a month would be sufficient.
-
Do NOT DROP or EMPTY any table you do not know what it is for!
Keep your Data Base clean and optimized and see your blog loading faster, reacting better to your readers needs and climbing up in popularity.

According to Wiki:
“On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large downloads.
Reasons:
Mirroring of sites occurs for a variety of reasons.
- To preserve a website or page, especially when it is closed or is about to be closed.
- To allow faster downloads for users at a specific geographical location. For example, a U.S. server could be mirrored in Japan, allowing Japanese Internet users to download content faster from the local Japanese server than from the original American one. This may be viewed as caching on a worldwide scale.
- To counteract censorship and promote freedom of information. For example, an activist might post pictures on a website of a company conducting illegal activities or make available information on secret government activity and be litigated for such. Other internet users will make the content in question available on other servers when the legal action results in the cancellation of ISP or DNS services for the original activist.
- To provide access to otherwise unavailable information. For example, when the popular Google search engine was banned in 2002 by the People’s Republic of China, the mirror elgooG was used as a way of effectively circumventing the ban.
- To preserve historic content. Financial constraints and/or bandwidth prevent the maintainers of a server from keeping older and unsupported content available to users who still may desire them – a mirror may be made to prevent this content from disappearing.
- To balance load. If one server is extremely popular a mirror may help relieve this load: for example if a Linux distribution is released as an ISO image onto the distribution developer’s own server, this server may become overloaded with demand. Alternative download points allow the total number of download requests to be spread among several servers, maintaining the availability of the distribution. Metalink is frequently used for automatic load balancing by listing all mirrors.
- As a temporary measure to counterbalance a sudden, temporary increase in traffic. For example, Slashdotted websites will often be mirrored by a few slashdot posters until the article is pushed off the front page.
- To increase a site’s ranking in a search engine by placing hyperlinks from each mirror to every other mirror (a technique known as link farming). This is viewed as unethical by most search engine administrators and websurfers.
- Rarely, as a form of plagiarism; this is, however, usually pointless, as a website popular enough to be worth plagiarizing will quickly discover the copy as soon as one of their many readers stumbles onto the plagiarized site.
- As a form of raising advertising revenue. Wikipedia is probably the best example of material released under the GNU Free Documentation License which is then duplicated by other companies which, unlike Wikipedia, then attempt to generate money from advertising, etc. See Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks.
- To serve as a method of circumventing firewalls.“
I would have put it in my own words; but Wiki gives a simple and clear information!
For Top Marketing Review Blog though; the Mirror Site is a temporary solution to balance Load. No Link Farming, No Rank Improvement and no attempt to raise Ads Revenue…etc.
For us who are facing that Good-Bad situation, WordPress makes is so easy to Export your whole blog and move it in a few clicks, I did that with one of my Joomla sites and spent a quit bit of time repairing it!
So please do not pass judgment if you saw Top Marketing Review.Net showing up on your search results next to Top Marketing Review.Com, it is temporary solution to give you access and a relief of those nasty 500 Error pages!

Once in a while I come across an offer that is so good; I feel it is my obligation to pass it on to you, my readers.
SiteGround Web Hosting is offering a whole year of web hosting for Unheard of $ 9.95 !
Some of us pay that much for one month!
But it gets even better:
” The special offer is suitable for people planning to start a new website as the annual price of $9.95 includes a free domain registration too. People that are hosted elsewhere can also take advantage of this offer as we will transfer their websites for free! “
I have been with them for a few years now, and their service and Tech Support is next to none, so this is not a softSell attempt either!
I used the same offer to start a couple of new sites already and was waitng for their OK to pass it on. So if I were you I would take advantage of this one, here is the link:
SiteGround Friends Special
And if you decided to stay with them after that year, their monthly rate is great too.
BTW
I get free months added to my own plan for every sign up through this link, Christmas for everybody all over again!

Have you heard of Conversion Rate Optimization before?
No? According to Wikipedia: Conversion rate optimization is the science and art of creating an experience for a website visitor with the goal of converting the visitor into a customer. It is the process of increasing the percentage of website visitors converting it to your customers.
Why is it Important?
PPC campaigns are becoming more expensive day by day due to increase in competition and because increasing bids for keyword is not possible for most of the online advertisers. This is the time to focus on Conversion Rate Optimization. But before jumping to the tips, let me share some of the advantages you would get by Conversion Rate Optimization.
Overall Spend of Your PPC Campaign would reduce and ROI of your campaign would increase.
It would improve the Quality of your landing pages making life of your visitors easier and Search engines happy.
Your Customer acquisition cost would reduce.
You don’t have to increase bids for your keywords, because good landing pages mean high Quality Score and low bid for a keyword.
And, Did I mention High Conversion Rate? You can bid on high competitive keywords with more confidence because your landing pages have more power to sell than your competitors.
As you know; the great benefits especially the MONEY which you can earn easily by doing some work on improving the conversion rate of your website now, I am going to cover some of the tips (should I say the changes to make on website) which can help you to improve the conversion rate of your website.
Identify Problems of your Website
Do a detailed analysis of your website. Ask your family members, colleagues, current customers or even you can hire persons online and ask them to review your website. Make them to try processes like buying a product or sign up for a form and ask what they liked or disliked about your website. How easy it was for them to finish the process and if you found out some problems which are common in all reviews, then try to solve them.
Keep it straight
Don’t fill your landing page with content which is not so useful and important for customers. Your customers want to know what makes you different from your competitors and why they should buy from you. Make sure you know the intentions of your visitors when they visit your page and content on your page can answer the questions which are in the mind of your visitors. For e.g. – If you are asking for personal information from your visitor, your page should contain a link to your company policies on personal information about their clients
Build Credibility
Fill your landing pages with Social proofs and testimonials from your old clients. Adding logos of credible sources like BBC or images of awards your product had won is also a very effective way to build credibility. Adding reassurance logos as shown in image is also a good way to build some credibility.
Improve Usability
Improve usability of your website by overhauling your website architecture and its navigational structure. Make the process which you want your visitor to complete as easy as possible. Avoid the use of elements like Flash, Pop-ups etc which increase the loading time of your website can irritate your users. Make sure your website is compatible and works well in all major browsers.
Test, Test and Test again
Make your own Test Scenario and design your own A/B or Multivariate tests. A/B testing (Split Testing) is simple and great if you are looking to test single element on your Website Whereas, Multivariate testing helps you to test multiple elements of the page at the same time. Google Website Optimizer is a great free tool to do multivariate testing but you are looking for more accurate results you can go with paid tools like SiteTuners and Omniture.
Theoretically, you can test every single thing on your website. But testing random things just for the sake of testing does not make any sense. There are no rules on what to test first, but start with the pages which you feel more important for you. Test them, make changes on the basis of the results and then iterate the process.
