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.
Important before submiting a blog! Verify that your blog comments don’t have rel=”nofollow” in the comment link. You can do it fast with FireFox NoDoFollow.
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 ?

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).

A fav20 user, just contacted me and showed me a nice use of the public profile.
He created the domain danielmclellan.com and redirected to the fav20 profile to present his portofolio.
If anybody of you think of any other use please say. I will implement other features on the public profile.
Feb 02
For new visitors and the ones that are not registered, an information box will apear showing info about fav20.

You can close it by clicking the
or
icon.
Any other suggestions ?

You are now able to set websites visible to your public profile (example of demo user) and share it with your friends. Maybe they find something interesting you like and they can save it to their account too.
I plan to extend this to add profiles to friends and browse them so maybe you can find interesting websites from your network.
How useful do you find his feature and what else do you think it is needed ?
P.S. Don’t forget to share your profile with your friends.

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 now, and the best things of all is Gears.
After you upgrade (just copy the files over the old ones, making sure you don’t overwrite any modified files, usualy good thing to backup, access /wp-admin/upgrade.php to complete upgrading), on top right corner you will see a link called Gears.
Download and install Gears, than come back to the Gears link on top right and enable. Your blog admin will work super fast.
Attention! Make sure you enable gears just if you are using it on your home computer/laptop (NOT on PUBLIC COMPUTER).
