Since last year i have been working on lots of Web Application,During this time I have gone through many frameworks like Code Igniter , CakePHP , Symfony and RoR trying to find what will suit me best. RoR i learned and used a little but never got to using it in a release app , but i did learn a few of the cool stuff which RoR is famous for. CI i just found a little too simple but i still recommend it to beginners, Symfony was a configuration mess. So Cake PHP is what i was working on mostly , But when delivering Small applications to clients i found it a mess to deliver a 1 MB framework with a 30 kb of actual code. Actually coming from an embedded systems background i like my work to be ...

After doing a little backlink checking i found that my sites were linking to competitor sites , which is totaly unacceptable.Also with so maybe free backlinks going out PR can be affected ( am not shore about that though ). So with a few lines of PHP you can kill all free back links people have been getting through ur side.So if you are stuck with the same situa...
