Aflu de pe twitter ca s-a lansat azi Status Pimp. Sistemul iti da posibilitatea sa castigi bani cu statusul de pe messenger. Pentru ca mi se pare o idee interesanta am analizat putin mai in detaliu sistemul.

Ei zic ca poti castiga pana la 7 eurocenti / click. Ma duc repejor la informatii pentru advertiseri si vad ca pe advertiseri ii costa 30 de centi / click (daca advertisierul da mai putin, ma gandesc ca si tie iti da mai putin, daca au zis “pana la“). Rezulta ca cei care isi pun status pe messenger pentru a face bani primesc pana la 23%. Mult? putin? spuneti voi.

Trecem peste eroarea de pe site pentru advertiseri in care zic ei ca poti cumpara 500 de  clickuri cu 150 euro din care rezulta 0.30 eurocenti (EUROCENTI) / click (mie imi da 30 eurocenti sau 0.30 euro / click). read all »

Cu riscul de a fi subiectiv, va voi relata experienta mea cu BRD, in special serviciul de internet banking brd-net.ro. Am fost client BRD 6 ani si de 4 ani utilizez brd-net.

BRD la ghiseu

Deoarece contul mi l-am deschis in Suceava, cand am venit in Iasi, au inceput sa apara problemele. Filialele BRD au acces limitat la conturile deschise in alte orase: pot vizualiza, dar pentru a face tranzactii, ei trebuie sa dea telefon/trimita fax la sucursala bancii, unde a fost deschis contul (eventual sa astepte confirmare).

For all PHP/MySQL developers, there are two ways of using INSERT query:

1. INSERT INTO [table] VALUES (‘value-1′,’value-2′);

2. INSERT INTO [table] (‘column-1′,’column-2′) VALUES (‘value-1′,’value-2′);

Always use INSERT variant 2, because in case you need to add more columns to the database, you won’t need to change the PHP code for the query to work.

The unspecified columns will take default value, defined when appending the new column.

Well, it is clearly I like Carlsberg, but no really, Avira is the best FREE antivirus I used untill now.

I highly recommend it to anyone.
So if you need an antivirus that uses few computer resources and it is free (updates are free too) download it.

If you already have it, version 9.0 is available for upgrade.

Dragos Stanca asked:  What is the diffrence between fav20 and chrome?

Chrome

• only shows most visited websites on the start page.

Fav20

• sites are accesible in any browser;
• lets you choose what sites to add in your start page;
• lets you sort the websites as you like (drag&drop);

Fav20 users advantages vs Chrome:

• access your saved websites from any computer
• arranged them in categories, keep only your most important in your homepage
• open multiple selected websites in one click (useful in the morning)
• you don’t loose your favorite websites when you reinstall the computer or browser

Raluca Georgescu found fav20 interesting so far.

Few can understand the usefulness of fav20 unless they try it. Thanks Raluca for trying it, waiting for your feedback after few days of using it.

Fav 2.0 currently has about 250 happy active users that they use it as their browser homepage.

I have reviewed all blog add requests to DoFollow Blogs . From about 30 requests, only 10 were nofollow free. If I missed some, please resubmit.

I’ve also updated the PageRank of the bogs according to the Google 1st April 2009 PageRank update.

Cand au lansat serviciul de affiliate eMAG ProfitShare, am zis sa il incerc. Este un magazin online care l-am folosit destul de des, desi cateodata au mai fost probleme, il recomand.

O mica teapa: Daca un vizitator trimis de pe siteul tau nu cumpara in 30 de zile, nu mai iei comision. Pentru un vizitator nou sa ajunga sa cumpere online, statistic vorbind trebuie sa intre pe acel site de cel putin 7-8 ori pana sa se decida sa cumpere. Cel mai probabil va expira perioada de 30 de zile, eMAG castiga, tu care i-ai trimis vizitatorul NU. 

In foarte multe sisteme de affilate din afara, durata de contorizare a vizitatorului trimis este de 90 de zile.

Experimentul
Am pus pe cateva siteuri, timp de 30 de zile bannerele eMAG. Dupa 400 000 afisari si 2260 clickuri (0.56 CTR), NICI UN COMISION. Precizez ca bounce-rateul a fost de 50%, iar media de pagini vizualizate de 4 pagini.

Nu e vina eMAG, pur si simplu in Romania inca nu merge, lumea inca nu cumpara online. eMAG se alege cu RECLAMA GRATIS. 

Am decis sa opresc experimentul si sa scot reclamele eMAG.

Voi ce parere aveti despre eMAG ProfitShare ?

Finally categories for fav 2.0 are done. Only registered users can use tabs.

You can set a category to be private or private ( ). (currently working to tweak a bit the category privacy module).

Small updates will also be given via twitter: fav20

Your feedback is much appreciated.

On fav20, I have added a new feature that lets you set public or private the newly added websites (this feature is available only for logged in users).

This won’t change privacy of current saved websites. To share the already saved websites you have to click on

Hint! To share your public profile you can use the link http://www.fav20.com/user/[your-username] (Ex: http://www.fav20.com/user/demo )

At the beginning of February I added meta noindex to the tags pages (keyword pages won’t be indexed in Google) to seo bugz.

After Google removed the tags pages from his index (site:seobugz.com), traffic from Google jumped by 300%.

Maybe because the inside PageRank doesn’t split to so many pages and other sites rank better.

Another method to make your tags/search pages not appear in Google is to use robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /tag

More about robots.txt and tag indexing read on capslock.ro (in romanian).
