With the raft of recent changes to Google's algorithm (Penguin, Panda etc) we've been taking a closer look at our back link profile, with a particular focus on poor quality/spammy links.
I'm using an online tool which monitors our backlink profile. It seems like a lots of links are being added to our site by sites using the aggregator module which is automatically sucking in posts from D.O. and other Drupal related sites.(116 added this week alone) Here's just a few.. As you're probably aware, not all links are good links and these domain all have low authority.
I have two sites running on drupal, on both of them i have no use for the statistics and information gathered, such as the latest log(Filled with failed bot log ins), top referrers(filled with visits from bot websites), top visitors(filled with bot visits), same with all other report.
For long Drupal has had a reputation of being more difficult to set up for small CMS websites than other systems, like wordpress. Distributions were introduced as a way to ship more feature-complete editions of Drupal but distros took a very long time to gain any significant share in Drupal's installed base. Today Commerce Kickstart has over 10.000 reported installations and is a great example of a distro that is useful and valuable to people.
I wanted to do the same thing with people who want have a small Drupal CMS site so I built this:
Does anyone know or recognize the training site ostraining.com or would recommend it? I can't find much on it though I can find that they've been around for a year or two as well as list some credible/big corporations. I'm completely new to drupal so looking to find a good/the best training site/source I can find!
Suggestion for Drupal - Make a Planning and Decision Guide /Flow Chart/ Road Map to Make Drupal Easy for Beginners to Make Critical Site Planning Decisions
I have a suggestion if any experienced user wants to consider taking a shot at it. Not being an experienced user I know that I am not capable of it, but I thought some one might like the idea. I wasn't sure where to put this. I hope someone finds it useful. This is just a suggestion, from my perspective, on how to improve the whole Drupal experience.
