In case you haven’t noticed, i have not been updating the blog these past days.

Unfortunately, my internet service provider suspended my internet connection due to the lack of payment.

I share an apartment with a couple more friends, and one of them, is responsible for the internet contract, and he forgot to pay the last 2 months despite the constant rememberings of the companie.

Last june 2nd, they cut the service leaving us with no connection to the world. lol

The payment has been made, and only today they re-established the service aleluia!!!

I must admit that i am a bit addicted to the online life… I had a little itching these days lol.

Anyway, when i got online i had a wonderful news. I have won my first contest prize.

Jim at thenetfool.com has announced the winners for his outrageous blog contest. I have won $50 from Adesblog that have already been paid

I have also won a website review from webmasterplaza, a One Buck Wiki Page and a

Besides the Making money niches (most know as MMO blogs) there are other kinds of blogs we should read, one of these blogs is Stylish Design, which is a Web design blog.

Stylish design is a blog run by Robert and Andrei that focus on web designing and related stuff to that subject. You can find information about search engine optimization and web directories, but also, CSS and website templates.

With the recent Google page rank update, there are some articles that you might find useful, such as “Fighting for more page rank” or “You can never find out the true PageRank”.

These are just a few articles in this blog that I read, but I found more interesting posts, which I will let you to discover.

I have found this site (don’t remember where sorry!) 2 days ago, and i have found it very interesting.

What this site does is simulate the human vision.

Confused? Don’t be. It’s actually very simple.

They have a program that analyses an image sent by you, or a website. After the analysing is complete, it will show a heat map that tries to simulate how the human eye will look at your image or website!

Here is the heat map for this blog:

Has you can see, the spots where the human eye is supposed to look at are surround with a yellow circle with a number in it. The numbers may represent the order the human uses to cycle through the site. I’m not sure of this because i failed to find info about this on their website.

This tool can be a great addition when you create a website, or plan to optimize it a bit. You can see where are people looking at, and make the necessary changes.

As you can see on my heatmap. Blog.dahh.net users pay attention to our 125×125 ad buttons, and to the feature article image. First, i draw attention to an important part of the site (the ads), making a good investment to all of you, potential advertisers on this site. You may not get the thousand clicks you want :p, but your brand will surely be noticed. So, grab a piece of the attention by buying an 125×125 ad here ;).

And second, but also very important, my site draws attention to the featured article, increasing greatly it’s exposure ( want to guest post here?).

In conclusion, this is a great tool for you to use, or just to for curiosity purposes. The algorithm off course is not 100% accurate. Simulating a human behaviour is very difficult, but possible.

To finalise, i want to wish all my readers a great easter (if you celebrate it) or just a fantastic weekend to you all.

Well, i was giving away 3000 entrecard credits, but for some reason, i only got one application! The deadline has passed, i even extended the the deadline but no more applications were made. I blame my self. I haven’t advertised the contest like i should, but, there is another thing. The prize. Maybe 3000 Entrecard credits don’t make a good prize to give. I agree with this. Maybe if i put a cash prize i would have the success has the first contest i ran here.

So, the contest is officially cancelled! i thank Louis for his application, but im sad to say that the contest is over. well, at least you get a link to your site

But, anyway back to “blaming spree” lol, i also blame those crazy contests! Those super contests, that grab a lot of sponsors and gather a total prize of $1000 , $2000 or even $12000!!!! They ruin the competition!!! or not!! :p
