When Google registers a new link to your web site it is big news! Every incoming link you get will help push your web site higher in the search result. You can check the links that Google has registered as linking back to your site simply by entering the following into the Google search field:

link:www.mysite.com

This will show a list of the most important pages linking to your site. For a more complete list check out the Yahoo Site Explorer

But back to Google. The links listed in the Google search are the important ones as they are the ones that help you rank better in Google (or so it is widely believed). Would it not be nice if you received an email whenever Google registered a new link to your web site?

Get Google to email you when they discover a new link
In order to get notified when Google discovers (and registers) a new link to your site you need to use Google Alerts. To be alerted when Google finds your link all you have to do is type”link:www.mysite.com” (where www.mysite.com is replaced by your real web site address) into the Search terms field. Then select “Comprehensive” and “as-it-happens” and finally enter your email address.

You will now be sent an email whenever Google registers a new link to your site!

Great news for all Joomla developers!

After developing a few custom components for our clients, we realized just how long and time-consuming it can be, just to create all the files necessary to make a new Joomla 1.5 component, following the MVC standards. Immediately, we realized that a lot of this process was very tedious and repetitive and could be automated if only somebody created some software that did this for the developer… and so we did!

We have created the Joomla Component Creator - which has already saved us hours of development time -  and decided to share it with you all.

The Joomla Component Creator creates all the files necessary; views, helpers, controller, etc. as well as creating all the necessary, appropriately named classes and also version, author and licensing information in the header comment of all the files.

We have already had lots of people trying this tool out for themselves and already a good amount of positive feedback. We hope you like it and it saves as much time for you as it has done for us! If you like it, we would appreciate your reviews.
