Azi am anuntat primul concurs pentru bloggerii destepti inscrisi in reteaua de bloggeri Desteptu’.

Concursurile sunt anuntate prin email sau RSS. Puteti sa va inscrieti pe desteptu.ro daca vreti sa fiti anuntati cand se lanseaza un concurs.

Few months ago I was launching a translation service with Lavinia, Traduceri ca la carte. It started pretty good, I learned a few things about translation service market.

Now I decided to go international, with Books Translation. After less then 2 weeks I have my first orders so it is a good start.

Wish me best of luck.

Azi am lansat un site nou Desteptu’, dedicat bloggerilor.

Intentia mea este sa pot anunta bloggerii prin RSS sau EMAIL despre concursurile pentru bloggeri (de scris despre un anumit produs si poti castiga premiul cel mare).

Daca esti blogger, poti sa incerci sa te inscrii, inca adun lista sa vedem cati sunt interesati. Daca nu vrei sa te inscrii, da de veste

Bestis Engage Iasi organized this weekend (21-22 november 2008) a local (Iasi) Dota Allstars Tournament.

Fav20 team ( BunnyFace, Bibismurf, Vstyle, H3iko and Bl4nka ) won #1 at this tournament. We completely annihilated every other team .

I have reworked the interface of fav20 for the login and register box. Now it draws attention to the exact action needed, and also can be closed easily by clicking X or outside.

I will use all of next popup boxes the same way from now on.

For those interested, I use SqueezeBox Javascript plugin for MooTools.

Your feedback on how it looks and feels is greatly appreciated.

Iulius Mall Iasi prezinta firmele pe fav20.com la calculatoarele cu free internet access din incinta mall-ului.

The HTML attribute accesskey of the a tag allows you to access with your keywords various links on the website.

The problem is that each browser has it’s own version of using the accesskey:

• Opera (on windows and mac) - SHIFT + ESC + accesskey
• Other Mac browsers - CTRL + accesskey
• FireFox 2.x and 3.x – ALT + SHIFT + accesskey
• Internet Explorer (5.x,6.x,7.x) – ALT + accesskey then ENTER

For fav 2.0 I added for the first 9 sites accesskey from 1 – 9. You can sort the sites as you wish to drag & drop the first 9.

Am adaugat posibilitate de atentionare pentru blogurile de pe DoFollow, care au pus din nou nofollow.

Primesc azi un email in care NeoGen spune ca:

Veti castiga cel putin 5 eurocenti pentru fiecare click pe care il face un utilizator al paginii pe reclamele CPC (plata pe click). Insa nu exista o suma standard, factori precum traficul si locul in care sunt plasate link-urile/bannerele sunt cruciale in succesul de ansamblu. De exemplu, un site cu un trafic mediu poate castiga usor peste 1000 de euro lunar.

Pe un site de caracter general unde am pus bannere NeoGen, am castigat in ultimele 7 zile din 100 de clickuri, exact 0.05 eurocenti / click. Media e clar 0.05.

Ca sa castigi usor peste 1000 de euro lunar trebuie sa ai 20000 de clickuri pe luna, adica 666 clickuri / zi.

CTR (cati vizitatori dau click pe bannere) poate varia bineinteles, dar pe reclamele neogen, eu am media de 0.4%.

Ca sa obtin 666 clickuri/zi (adica cei 1000 euro lunar), trebuie sa am 166500 de afisari / zi, aproximativ 100 000 vizitatori / zi.

Daca un site cu 100 000 vizitatori / zi e trafic mediu, si cu asta sa faci doar 1000 euro…

Concluzia … reclame NEOGEN sux dar asta stiam si fiecare e liber sa aleaga. M-a deranjat doar ca mi-au trimis email sa imi spuna ca un site cu trafic mediu poate castiga 1000 euro / luna de la ei.

Voi cati bani castigati cu reclame NEOGEN ? ce CTR aveti ? si ce parere aveti de afirmatia lor ?

It has proven that visual bookmarking and startup homepage can be really useful and save you a lot of time.

Firefox has FastDial, Opera has Speed Dial, but Internet Explorer doesn’t have any plugin for visual bookmarking. The biggest advantages fav20 has to this plugins are:

• no installation required (not even user registration)
• can access your favorites anywhere you go (just add sites to your account)

I recommend trying fav20 as your homepage and see if you get used to it.

To set your HomePage in Internet Explorer: TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS-> http://www.fav20.com on the homepage field. (you may need to press ALT in IE7 to show up the TOOLS menu).
