CakePHP: A rapid web application development Framework

CakePHP is a free, open-source, rapid development framework for PHP. It’s a foundational structure for programmers to create web applications. Many frameworks are available on the Internet, each with its own specific rules and conventions, achievements and failures. Some collapse into unusable and complex collections of pre-built libraries and tools that enslave developers into difficult and truly unusable programming methodologies; others do not.

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP that provides an extensible architecture for developing, maintaining, and deploying applications. Rightway is actively using CakePHP framework for rapid and robust web application development. PHP experts at Rightway have developed some successful Web Projects based on CakePHP framework.

Key features of CakePHP Framework:

• Compatible with PHP4 and PHP5
• Model, View, Controller (MVC) architecture
• Code generation via Bake
• Integrated CRUD for database and simplified querying
• Request dispatcher with custom URLs
• Templating (PHP syntax with helper methods)
• View helpers for AJAX, Javascript, HTML forms
• Website directory independent
• Built-in validation
• Access control lists (ACL)
• Application scaffolding[4]
• Data sanitization
• Security, session, and request handling components
• View caching

Just like ZF, CakePHP development does not require configuration. It is very simple to use. The company has a user friendly community called #cakephp on IRC that helps new users to begin. It is distributed under the MIT License and promises Best Practices like security, authentication and session handling. It has an object-oriented approach to keep you at ease.

CakePHP framework also provides a basic organizational structure, from filenames to database table names, keeping your entire application consistent and logical. This concept is simple but powerful. Follow the conventions and you’ll always know exactly where things are and how they’re organized. Rightway is having vast experienced CakePHP developers for impressive web application development

Dynamic sites – Improve Alexa Ranking

Dynamic sites require highly specialized search engine marketing strategies that differ from those used for static sites. It’s still hard to get dynamic sites indexed unless they’re properly optimized. While search engines say they now index dynamic sites, and they do, many times it doesn’t happen without a little help. And certainly the positioning of pages is another issue altogether.

 

There are a number of strategies that can be used to convert your dynamic URLs into search engine-friendly URLs. Before we get into that, let’s look at how the dynamic databases used by ecommerce sites and other large sites are created, and why they’re hard to index.

 

What Keeps Dynamic Sites Hidden?

 

Dynamic pages are created on the fly with technology such as ASP, Cold Fusion, Perl and the like. These pages function well for users who visit the site, but they don’t work well for search engine crawlers.

 

Why? Because dynamically generated pages don’t actually exist until a user selects the variable(s) that generate them. A search engine spider can’t select variables, so the pages don’t get generated -– and can’t be indexed.

 

The big problem is that crawlers such as Google can’t read the entire dynamic database of URLs, which either contain a query string (?) or other database characters (#&*!%) known to be spider traps. Because search crawlers have problems reading deep into a dynamic database, they’ve been programmed to detect and ignore many dynamic URLs.

 

We recently increased a client’s search engine potential from 6 to 659 pages. Considering that Google saw only half-a-dozen pages originally, we think hundreds of optimized pages will significantly increase our client’s search engine visibility.

 

 

Many sites do use Alexa stats when evaluating the quality of a link before deciding to form a link partnership—especially if they are buying links.

 

And, yes, caution is the watchword because it is relatively easy to manipulate Alexa stats. We know of instances where groups of people have installed Alexa toolbars with the intention of regularly browsing specific sites for the sole purpose of artificially improving Alexa ranking. Let the buyer beware.

 

Regardless, even though Alexa stats are easily manipulated and frequently inaccurate, many people still use them because there aren’t many other (free) ways to determine the level of traffic a site is getting.

 

However, if you’re going to be shelling out a lot of money for a paid link, it’s smart to look at server logs from the linking site for proof a page or site is really getting the amount of traffic they’re claiming. Don’t just depend on their Alexa rank.
