Quick Search Engine Ranking Tip We thought everyone knew this one, but the other day we heard someone saying it was OK to do. NEVER, ever, use invisible text on your web pages (ie. same text colour as the background colour). It's a definite way to get yourself penalised or even banned from the major search engines. |

Every now and then, however, we come across products that save us a lot of money, time, and/or resources. Once we've tried them for ourselves and believe they work, we of course want to share them with others. One such example is Handy Backup, a program that simplifies your backup of important data to the point where it only requires one click of a mouse to get the job done. Firstly you need to tell the program what files or directories on your hard drive you want backed up. You can also choose options such as to always back up your emails and so on. Then once it's all set, all it requires is one click to save all your important folders to CD each time. We use it to back up our files every day. We simply stick the CD in, click on the appropriate button, and off it goes - blanking the re-writeable disk and then copying the files. Backing up your data is one of the most important things you can do to protect your important information. If you're using a computer, then chances are that eventually you will suffer some form of breakdown, and if the worst happens and your hard drive is lost (it's happened to us before), then having a recent backup is your only hope. If you want to find out more about why backing up is important, have a look at the Backing Up Your Data article in our "Ecommerce Library". Another great thing about Handy Backup is that it's free to try for 30 days! If for some reason it doesn't suit your needs, there's no obligation whatsoever. To download the free trial, simply visit www.handybackup.com. We'd be happy to hear back from you about whether it works for you too.
