Domain name – With dash or not?

Posted by admin On December - 29 - 2007

Often when we create a new site , mini-site or blog we want to get a name for it. And the best name to choose is a name that will have the keywords in it. Why? Because this will help with your SEO and search engine rankings. But how will you use the domain (or sub domain)? Will you use a alltogetherdomain.com or a all-together-domain.com?

Search engines can have trouble reading the domain keywords, however, Google says that it can split your words very well, but we can’t be so sure. So a little trick that i read about is to use google to find if your domain name will need to use dashes or not.

Kontera – Content Link Publisher

Posted by admin On December - 27 - 2007

One thing that a webmaster needs to keep in mind is not to concentrate all his revenue sources. The key is to diversificate and experiment. If a webmaster concentrate for example on google adsense, someday he may have a really bad surprise with an email from google telling that his account was suspended…. From a day to another the only source he had was gone! Finding and making profitable the new source of income can be hard.

Merry Christmas!

Posted by admin On December - 24 - 2007

I wish to all my readers and blog visitors a holy and Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you’ll get all the presents you wanted! Just remember: The best presents are not the bought ones! The best presents are not always physical. The best presents are sentimental! Learn to give value to little things!

AS you gathr with your family just spend one minute to think in all of the unfortunate ones… That do not have a family to share Christmas, or can’t be with them because they are away or are working. Remember the homeless, and if possible, give some warm meal to them, either directly, or trough local institutions.

Hello fellow bloggers! Hope you’re having a great Christmas!

This is just a quick post to let you know what’s the status of the contest.

Thank you and merry Christmas!

Creating mini sites – Part 1 – Software to use

Posted by admin On December - 22 - 2007

Hello! As mentioned yesterday, im going to start a series of “how to create a mini site”. I have covered this subject a few times, and showed you how to create them using some scripts or software like Commonsense CMS, Rssmini 1.3, HyperVRE (which promised to be a great tool but in fact sucked).

I have 2 new tools to try out. But for now let’s stick with one. I really hope this new tool is way better than the previous ones. This tool takes in consideration that it helps you creating a mini site easy and fast, but it does not help you create the content. It’s up to you to create the content. Don’t fall in temptation to copy other site content and don’t use rss feed to fill you pages. Use your own created content, your own words.

Shoppingads – Bad news for users outside US

Posted by admin On December - 21 - 2007

Probably, this is a late news for you but i haven’t visited shoppingads for a long time now, since they stop delivering ads on my sites. But now, the ads start showing again, and i went there to see what was going on, and for my surprise there were some alterations:

As you can see, shoppingads now separates traffic according to the origin, and now, only US traffic will get CPC ads, and international traffic gets CPA ads.

Shoppingads and widgetbucks are taking the same path, except widgetbucks learned to compensate webmasters that have non US traffic.

Just wait and you will see. Just remember to visit the blog tomorrow :)

Voxant – The News Room

Posted by admin On December - 20 - 2007

I decided to re-use Thenewsroom feed again. But first:

What is TheNewsRoom?

TheNewsRoom (or Voxant) is a News feed that gathers all the major News agencies in the world (NBC, Reuters, CBS).

The news can be displayed by Video, text or still images accompanied by pre-roll ads.

The good thing (besides offering your visitors a chance to stay informed) is that Voxant pays you per view.

You just need to select a feed or a specific news, click the embed button, agree with the terms and choose the layout you want to use.

Digg.com for sale!!!!

Posted by admin On December - 19 - 2007

It seems that digg.com is for sale! A reliable source, according to Venturebeat, says that digg hired Allen & Company a tiny but influential private investment firm, to help broker a deal. The asking price is still $300 million!

This may or may not be a surprise, because rumours of a sale have been around for months. But so far, it’s being hard to find a buyer…. But who want’s to bet that Google will buy digg.com? lol

Anyway, interested in Being a certified system engineer?
