Are the Googl places removing the duplictae listings?

Google has been sending notifications via email to business owners about issues related to duplicate Google Places listings. I received such an email a few days ago, but thought it may have been an isolated occurrence until I saw more business owners and SEOs saying they received the same thing. The email being sent out reads:

Hello,
We’d like to inform you that Google Places no longer accommodates more than one authorized owner per business location. Your account contains one or more listings that have been identified as duplicates of other listings and as a result, some of the information that you provide will not be shown to Google users any more.
To get more information or request access to the other listings, please log into your Google Places account.
Yours sincerely,
The Google Places Team

Google Is Sending Notifications regarding the Duplicate Listings Issues In Google Places. It turns out the issue stems from Google upgrading business listings to the new Google Places For Business local listings. If your business had one of the older listing types on Google you’ll run into a similar issue.
The email invites users to log into their Google Places account, and upon doing Google immediately points out which of your listings is causing the issue. In order to keep the listing live you’re asked to review your information, make any necessary changes and then submit them.
If you have a Google Places listing but haven’t received this email, it’s best to log in and check if there are any issues just to be sure. As these listings are paramount for local search, it would be a shame to have your listing removed without knowing there was even a problem

Do you think the Commercial WordPress Theme is worth the price?

One of the main reasons why WordPress is very popular as a blogging platform is because of its flexibility and versatility. It can be fully customized to suit your site’s needs perfectly. Nowadays, it is not only used for blogging but also for commercial sites. It has a wide range of resources among them themes that are very vital in the developing of a WordPress site because they offer the template on which the blog or site will be built. The themes are available for free downloading on some sites on the internet. However, they are also made commercially and the theme that you choose depends on your specific site’s needs. Free themes aside, this article focuses on commercial themes, their advantages and disadvantages and whether they are worth the cost.


As a developer, you are not restricted to using commercial themes. You can go for free ones if they suit your site’s needs perfectly. After all, if you can find a quality and free WordPress theme that you can customize to suit your taste, there is no need to pay for one. If you cannot find something exclusive for your site, you can order a custom made unique WordPress theme from the various developers.
Whatever theme you choose, the most important thing is to choose a reputable source. This is especially true for commercial themes because you do not want to pay for a crappy theme. With the demand for themes increasing steeply, there is no shortage of good quality theme providers as well as people who are just out to make money from you the quality of their work notwithstanding. Some of the common problems encountered are being sold an already existing theme or a dysfunctional theme. On that note, you should ensure that your commercial theme provider is trustworthy and has a return policy and guarantees in place.

Commercial themes are associated with some advantages over free themes. The cost of WordPress themes could range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousands. No matter the price, they always come with a guarantee depending on the contract between the provider and their client. They also come with support and responsibility on the developer’s side. If there are any errors or bugs, the developer is bound by the contract to fix them. On top of that, you get something exclusive whose rights you own totally albeit at a higher price. Commercial themes provide you the exact exclusivity that you want for your website.


The biggest disadvantage lies in the price. You could say that commercial themes are quite pricey especially when you want the full rights to an exclusive theme because the developer cannot be able to sell it to other people. Should you opt for a non exclusive one and then customize it, the developer can refuse to accept responsibility for any occurring errors. What’s more, whatever you get commercially may also be achievable by customizing a free theme. It is hard to say whether or not commercial themes are worth the cost but it all depends on your site’s needs and affordability.

The best web hosting Service provider for your hosting needs

Web2host.in is a popular internet company that provides domain name registration and the best Hosting Solution. As of 2013, they currently manage over 55 million domain names. This makes Web2host the best domain name registrar in the world. Apart from domains, Web2host also provides web hosting services. Web2host is a popular choice for web hosting, but is often criticized as the best web host. We wanted to look into deeper into Web2host web hosting to see if Web2host is really a good web host.

Why choose Web2host for web hosting?

There are several pros and cons to hosting with Web2host. We’ve listed them here for you to decide whether or not Web2host hosting is the right choice for you.

Convenience

First, Web2host is a great choice for registering domain names. Most webmasters already have a domain name registered with Web2host, so it only makes sense to purchase a web hosting account with them as well. Web2host makes it very easy for webmasters to link their domain name and web hosting account together. After all, combining your domain name and web hosting account into a single place is quite convenient. Yes, you can register your domain name with other web hosts, but they usually aren’t the best choice for domains.

Ease of Use

Secondly, Web2host uses their own web hosting control panel that is pretty easy to use. We’re usually against custom built control panels, but Web2host’s is not that bad. It has a very simple, efficient layout that can definitely be a pro for many webmasters that are new to web hosting. However, we still prefer cPanel and Web2host’s control panel can be either a pro or a con, depending upon your preferences. Updated: On rare occasions, we found their hosting control panel is sometimes glitch, requiring the user to refresh the browser. This is a con, which can cause some confusion & frustration.

Performance

When it comes to web hosting, performance is one of the most important features. Your website needs to be up and running at all times. Furthermore, it needs to load quickly. We did several speed tests on our Web2host web hosting account and were surprised by the results. Despite many online reviews that blast Web2host as being a slow web host, their web hosting is quite fast.

Price & Features

Obviously pricing is an important factor for many consumers. Web2host used to offer fairly expensive prices on their hosting plans. This was a large con, but fortunately, their pricing has come down over the years. Web2host still doesn’t offer the best value when you compare their prices and features, but it’s not overly expensive either. Currently it’s about average, which is neither a pro or con for Web2host.

Conclusion

While Web2host has some negative factors, it’s still one of the largest internet companies and continues to offer the customers with the best Web Hosting service in India.
