Advance PHP knowledge is needed to understand this technique

When advertising on a site, you want to know how the user actions from that site (if it converted or not: signed up or buy).

One solution is to add a domain.tld/?refer=somecode but that looks ugly for the ones who visit. 

For fav20 I see if user registered by using the following code:

if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],’domain.tld’)) {
       $referer = ‘domain.tld’;
       setcookie(”referer”, $referer, time() + 3600 * 24 * 30,”/”);
}

And then I use the $referer variable to add it to a hidden field in the sign-up form and insert it in the database. User will be tracked for 30 days on my example.

Here is a short list of features and advantages that will make you wanna use fav20.com as your browser homepage.

• no registration - you have all features from the first time you visit;
• easy to find - because all websites have images, you can easily see the site you want to visit;
• easy to add - just write the url in the top box and submit. The site will be saved and ready to use;

When you read a blog, you read it for it’s content and not it’s design. I decided to unsubscribe from partial RSS feeds, because I loose too much time visiting their blogs just to check out the article.

If the article is good and I am interested in commenting, after I fully read it in the RSS Reader, I will visit the article and comment.

I sometimes use my HTC Diamond to read blogs via RSS Reader, and I really hate it that I have to go visit their blogs to read the article.

Follow my full articles via reader.

I added an instant blog search on dofollow.ro so you can find if your blog is listed. 

If you find any bugs or have other suggestions please let me know.

This month Fav 2.0 made it to Business Magazin at Web Wizzard section. I am pretty pleased of the article.

Thank you Roxana Cristea

After 2 nights on the train, I finaly have some energy to write something about this year web 2.0 event: webstock 2008.

First of all some pictures from marius tudor,  zoso, adrianzanfir, inconstantin ; we all love pictures

Here is my see my fav20 t-shirt thanks to inconstantin:

Webstock was an interesting FREE event, organized by Evensys ( Manafu ) with the help of the sponsors Vodafone, Adobe and LG. I met with de ce blog, alexbrie, marius tudor, inconstantin, alex circei, necenzurat, Andrei Marin si  Cristina Marin de la cuponix, lista.lu team,  visurat, and I got a chance to talk to Bobby Voicu, Claudiu Gamulescu, MB Dragan, Vlad Stan cu Seed Money, Len,  Maxim Schram from redesignme.com.

On Webstock Awards, on UTILITY section,tastekid won 3rd place, my fav20 won 2nd and 1st place went to lista.lu.

The experience was great and I invite everybody who attended Webstock to test my project: fav20

After the pagerank update today, I updated (automaticaly) all PageRanks on dofollow.

Amazing, from 5 blogs of PageRank 5, now there are only 2. A lot of changes on all other PageRanks of the blogs.

I invite you to check your website PageRank because today, 27 september 2008, I see that Google has updated the Pagerank. If you did a good job bringing good quality backlinks to your website, you got a good PageRank.

Fav20 got PageRank 5, it is nice but for me it doesn’t help because I do not use SEO to drive visitors to my site. 

You can check your PageRank pretty fast with ipagerank.org . If any of you is really happy and needs to share what PageRank you got, please leave a comment.
