The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine is a document written by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founders of Google in the early days before it was a “company”. In it, they explain how Google works including PageRank as they conceptualized it back then. I was participating in and following a discussion on LinkedIn [...]

What Our Clients SayIt would sound like I was stretching truth to say how much website traffic us up since working with Chris, so let me say this, if you want to check a reference on Chris and his work – call me anytime 425-577-2713 – Paul Hagen, CEO http://www.vacupractor.com
Chris von Nieda has been doing a great job handling some updates on our websites, most recently http://www.celebritychefstour.com Friday night he called me with some catastrophic news. He was working on some updates and suddenly started getting warnings from his browser that there was Malware detected on the website. Well, we certainly were not hosting any Malware or were involved in the distribution of it! With a full blown marketing campaign well underway for the Celebrity Chefs Tour, you can imagine how devastating this could be to the business and all involved. This came shortly after the decision to make http://www.celebritychefstour.com the main source for information about the events and the ticketing hub. Our PR firm, advertising agency, and everyone involved was busy referring people to the site for information and to purchase tickets to the event. Every minute that the big red warning was glaring at our visitors was costing us money.
Chris assessed the situation, came up with a solution and worked 10 straight hours on Saturday to quickly resolve the problem and get the site clear of all issues. His expertise, dedication and hard work were invaluable to the entire Celebrity Chefs Tour event and all involved in making it a success. I highly recommend him and his services to anyone needing a dedicated, knowledgeable professional willing to go the extra mile when needed.
