There are many security holes in WordPress, some of these include unprotected /wp-content-uploads/ folder, showing a README file in your root directory or wp-admin directory and unprotected htaccess files. Lets take a look at each of these and how this facilitates a hacking of your website.

• WP-Content/Uploads: This is the primary directory which ties directly into WordPress for uploads of media such as images and files. The path to this particular directory is predictable and easy for hackers to locate, just as easy as it is for a hacker to find your login portal. A successful hacking attempt can easily begin by uploading an executable php file into your unprotected uploads directory and your site has just been compromised. The executable file can contain commands to write REWRITE commands in your htaccess file, change file permissions and modify javascript files, all of which are hidden in hundreds of coded files, each with thousands of lines of code. Bottom line, secure your Uploads directory: we will show you how at the end of this post!
• README: Showing a ReadMe file in your root or wp-admin directory may only be a text file but guess what it tells a hacker? You divulge your WordPress installation version which can determine which sites are chosen to be hacked based on their vulnerability level. Older versions of WordPress are more prone to hacking because they have more security holes than the newer versions. Simple programs can search these ReadMe files to find specific version of WordPress Installations on the web as candidates of sites that can be compromised. Bottom line, delete your ReadMe file from your root or wp-admin directory, it has no relevant content or code needed to run your site.
• htaccess files: htaccess files play a huge role in WordPress permalink structure and page redirection and the lack of an htaccess file can actually return errors like 500, 403 etc. Unsecured htaccess files are a red flag for hackers and are routinely targeted because they are easy to change and go relatively unnoticed.  Many malicious infections resulting from a hacking attempt will seek out these htaccess files and add REWRITE statements which will redirect to a malicious software distribution website mainly because they are easy to access and to modify. A visitor may find ‘http://yourwebsite.com which has a fancy contact page located at ‘http://yourwebsite.com/contact’ but with the REWRITE statement active, clicking /contact/ or any other page will redirect to the malicious website and they have just been infected with malware on their computer.

It is important to secure your htaccess files in such a way that it prevents unauthorized changes which could be the result of a hacking attempt. Generally htaccess files are the source of infection on your website but can often be accompanied by an index file programmed to write them. If that index file is not located and removed or cleaned, any repairs to your htaccess files will revert back once you have logged out. Some index files will rewrite their redirect commands after midnight to override any changes or cleaning you may have done, this also helps to keep you guessing as to where the infection is coming from.

Follow these easy steps to stay clear of shady designers and ensure a successful future for your business.

1. Can they design? OK, a bit of an obvious question but you would be surprised! Just look at the designer’s website and compare it to other local and well known designers. You would not want to hire someone who doesn’t take pride in their own website and web presence because they won’t take pride in yours.
2. Search Engines are an excellent judge of character! Google the designer to see what feedback you get from the search engine. Not only will important information about the designer pop up, you will see reviews if there are any, (good and bad), affiliations with social networks and communities as well as sites they have done. Be wary of designers that don’t appear on Google when you search for them directly but know that this can be one of several causes. The designer may not offer SEO services and for that reason, does not have the expertise to increase their own rankings which is very difficult. The designer may not focus on search engine traffic; but the most dangerous alternative is that the search engine doesn’t take them seriously which is a a totality of many factors. If these factors don’t add up, this designer may not be for you.
3. Don’t be afraid to sign your life away! A lot of people are scared of contracts which go by many names, “agreements” “project terms” “terms and conditions” etc. But the truth is, if a web designer has one, it doesn’t mean you have to sign it, they should give you a choice. BUT, having said that, a true designer will have terms and lots of legal jargin written up to protect their clients. Designers look at contracts as a way to make their clients feel secure and safe when entering into a design project. Bottom line, if your prospective designer doesn’t have terms and conditions, think twice about doing business with them. If they do fair business, they should have one, and those who do shady business avoid contacts and terms at all costs! Remember that good designers should give you a choice to sign a contact if you feel comfortable but having one at all shows you (the client) that they are looking out for your best interests.
4. Cadillac or Corolla?  How do you know what features your business needs and what you should avoid paying extra for? Always get features like contact forms, slideshows and website backups but be wary of those who nickel and dime you for individual pictures and basic text. Ask how the designer makes their websites, although like any good magician, they never give up their prized secrets, we can tell you how we make our sites, there are no secrets there; just common knowledge. Ask! If they say Dreamweaver, HTML, or FrontPage, say No Thanks! These methods are great for making websites but they are outdated and outmatched in every way. With a 1000% markup on websites, never settle for anything less than a Content Management System. We made websites using those methods 16 years ago, and sites built with Dreamweaver can look just that outdated. Ask us to see an example of how different a CMS website is compared to a Dreamweaver or HTML site and you won’t believe it; even when we tell you that we do them for the same price! Get the better website that supports the newest features and get it for less! The biggest truth here is if you pay for a low-end design style page, you can make a higher quality page for free online, in just 1 afternoon! If you don’t believe that, contact me and I will tell you how to do just that.
5. Showcase Me! Does your web designer have a portfolio or showcase? They should! If they do good work, they want people to see it. Look at their past work and compare to other sites to see if their methods are current and if they take pride in their work. Most of all, look for a well rounded designer. You will profit more from someone who has a design talent, they often can take on any industry and work magic. A designer that only does dog groomers might not be the one to do your corporate website!

If this Google Front Page nonsense is the new “get thin quick” scam of the 21st century, many small businesses wonder if there is any realistic truth in these claims to get on the front page of popular search engines like Google. The answer is yes, there are ways to achieve this but much like any healthy individual, a healthy lifestyle is not a one week affair. A healthy lifestyle stems from a habitual process of eating healthy and in correct proportions, exercise and the adequate balance of cardio and weight workouts. Search Engine Optimization is a lot like that; the collective sum of many factors that in the right proportion can spell success.

DeSalvio Web DeSigns offers a series of interactive lessons to teach you what you need to know about search engine optimization in plain English and just the facts.  SEO is simply small modifications to your website that optimize and prepare your website to meet the criteria that search engines are looking for. We start from the very beginning and slowly explore each step.

Do you remember back in school, you had a test coming up and didn’t know what to study? Everyone loved that teacher that gave out a study guide before the test. So what did you do? You poured over that study guide all the way up until they told you to put everything away and handed out the exam. Then, to your surprise, the questions were so similar to the study guide, you breezed through the exam.

Well SEO is also, a lot like this. A complicated math formula which we don’t ever need to know, just be aware it exists, has many variables for different factors. Links, titles, keywords, they are all accounted for in this equation which weights each factor as either more important or less important. We know what this equation is to a certain extent. We also know what the factors are and which are more important than others. This is no secret, all SEO companies know this, but…..you didn’t did you?

Well, we are here to explain these factors to you, how to impose each one on your website and essentially give you the answers to the proverbial test. It really is that simple and although you may not get on page one (that is more a factor of how competitive your industry is) your page will get noticed, your traffic will increase and your business will increase. And, well that’s what we ultimately want in the end.

Join me to cut through all the SEO bull, look at the facts and start helping some honest business owners in the community by increasing their traffic and business.

We are always available to answer any questions along the way as we hope the end result is not having to ever pay an SEO specialist to modify your site in ways you can do for free.

Anyone interested in learning SEO basics, and increasing your website traffic is encouraged to express their interest to us either by e-mail, phone or message.
