Drupal geolocation responds Geocoder failed due to: REQUEST_DENIED

Submitted by GiorgosK on Thu, 09/15/2016 - 09:28

In a client website I have setup geolocation field with google maps widget for input. While it was working well for quite some time these days my client reported that it was getting some annoying error messages.

This is the error message that is displayed when editing a node/page.

Captcha breaking services are getting very expensive if you are using any sort of automated SEO tools

Captcha Sniper was a software that came the last few years to fill in this gap with one time payment and unlimeted captcha breaking capabilities. Unfortuntely slow fixing of bugs and an the unpolished feature to help improve any included captcha or include any new captcha using the captcha destruction kit (CDK) has left a lot to be desired for quite some time now. Similar softies such as Captcha Infinity and have tried to bridge this gap but to no avail. Finally a softie has come along that has listened to the needs of its users GSA captcha breaker

Add facebook google tweet linkedin share buttons to your website

Submitted by Giorgos on Fri, 11/16/2012 - 01:49

Its very important to have the share buttons of the popular networks available to your readers in order to remind them to help you promote your content. This is not a difficult task and you can always use services such as http://www.addthis.com or http://wibiya.conduit.com/ or http://www.po.st which offer a great service. One would choose these services for the ease of use and statistics they provide. On the other hand these services are not so easily customizable (not to the level I want them to) and they tend to be heavy on the pages load ...

Being different- Why a site identity matters so much

Submitted by james on Thu, 05/19/2011 - 15:00

The lone apple in a pile of oranges stands out. A color on a black background stands out. In the same way, a website with a unique identity will always stand out. With websites, functions, services, products and content are the colors and unique identity mechanisms that make them stand out. This is a basic marketing principle, and it’s as basic online as SEO- Identity creates market profile.
