Fix Magento Registry Key Already Exists

MarketingBy Will HankeSeptember 15, 2014Leave a comment

I’ve been working on removing a plugin made my Mageix called IXCBA.  It’s a Checkout by Amazon plugin that has a ton of problems and poor support. After finding every instance of ‘ixcba’ in the database and code, I was still unable to get the backend of the website to come up.  Clearing out /var/cache…

Turn Negative Results into Positive Branding

customer serviceBy Will HankeMay 13, 20141 Comment

My son bought a ’95 Chevy pickup that just needed a few things to pass inspection. One was a ball joint, which we could pick up and replace easily through the local auto parts store. The other part missing is a rear bumper. Bumpers can be fairly costly, so we thought we’d look at junk…

Last week I spoke at the St Louis Social Group meetup about Google Plus, and I also dropped a few quick SEO tools that I like to use on them as well. If you missed the presentation, that’s ok, you can watch the whole thing right here!

How to Make Your Magento Database Smaller

MagentoBy Will HankeMay 1, 2014Leave a comment

Here’s a quick fix for a bloated magento database. In the Admin panel, click on System > Configuration On the left near the bottom, choose System and look for ‘Log Cleaning’. Typically you only need to keep a few weeks worth of data. I recommend enabling the Log Cleaning and setting it to around 15…

The Problem With Free Meetups

meetingsBy Will HankeApril 18, 2014Leave a comment

For three years now, I’ve hosted a very popular SEO Meetup in the St Louis area. Each month it’s a different topic, always good information and a great way for me to generate leads and demonstrate my expertise.  For about a year or two prior to me starting mine, my friend Russ had run a…

SEO and Risk Tolerance

MarketingBy Will HankeMarch 29, 2014Leave a comment

I’ve got something on my mind, and I want to know what you think about it. Staying on the “safe” side of SEO is a pretty difficult thing to do.  The entire SEO industry is based on one thing: gaming the search engines to show your website (or your clients’) more than anyone elses.  Sure,…

Business Growth and Laziness

personal, small businessBy Will HankeMarch 20, 2014Leave a comment

If someone were to ask me about my business, and what was one of the worst decisions I ever made, it’d be an easy answer – I got comfortable in my success. I’m very blessed to be able to a business owner.  For many years I trudged through the corporate world, hating it more and…

My Review of 2014 Wordcamp STL

WordrpressBy Will HankeMarch 4, 2014Leave a comment

My Wordcamp started off a little differently than most.  I was accepted to speak, so I was invited to the pre-party at Four Hands Brewing Co downtown.  My wife decided not to go, since she’d really have nothing in common with any of the geeks there, so I was on my own.  I walked in,…

How to Add CrazyEgg Code to Prestashop

code monkey stuff, PrestaShopBy Will HankeJanuary 24, 20141 Comment

I recently added a new SEO client that is using Prestashop to sell their products.  After spending a little time with the system, I’m not terribly impressed.  It seems a bit bloated and somewhat locked down.  If you want to add certain things to your site, they expect you to purchase the module, and sometimes…

My eBook Publishing Experience – 1 Year Later

ebooks, moneyBy Will HankeJanuary 15, 20141 Comment

On January 15, 2013 I launched my first ebook, a tutorial on setting up Google Authorship for WordPress. The book didn’t do too bad – nothing like the gurus of today tell you an ebook can do, but it didn’t bomb either. Below is my 12 month income report from the ebook. Launch – January 15,…
