Google Page Ranking on the UP!

Hey guys, I have been working hard on increasing our Google Page Ranking and it finally seems to be working. Although or rating of importance is still fairly low I am sure it will raise dramatically in the next couple of days thanks to some big sponsorship deals we have been working on. Aside from the Google Page Ranking I have also been working on rewriting our urls to make them easy to read and more search engine friendly. It seems to be a bit of a pain in the arse but I am getting there. You will see what I mean from the attached snapshot. We are also about ready to go live with all our online order system so keep your eyes peeled for news.

The Facebook Application,

Just incase you guys have not seen the Facebook application I thought i'd take a little pic and whack it on here for you all to see. It works in pretty much the same way the site does with a little fewer features. I am still learning all the api programming gubbins that goes with it but would eventually like it so you can press a button and it sends a message to all your friends telling them your hungry. Then they can reply and you can all live happily ever after eating together. Anyway here is the link to the application. Get it added to your account today!

Page pagination now working!

Hey guys its been a long evening but finally got the pagination thing working so now each results page is split down into a max of 15 listings. This will help greatly with the loading times of the page, as it only has to display a max of 15 results at a time. It's possible in the future that this fiqure of 15 could be changed dynamically depending on the users preference...but for now i am just glad to have it implemented. The only downside of this implementation is that we have lost the listing preview drop down thingy-ma-jig but i am sure i can spend a little time to get this back online. As ever there is a pic attached for your browsing pleasure.

4,000+ restaurants added!

4,000+ restaurants have finally been added to the database. It was a bit of a headache getting them all online and working out how I was going to separate restaurants from fast food outlets but it seems to be working great now. Only one slight issue is with the online booking system but that should be all fixed and sorted by the end of tomz. So you better all be looking forward to booking your tables online! Take a look at the snaps for a overview.
