  • Romanian Top Social Brands 2010, by Biz

    Manafu just reminded me via this post that some weeks ago I answered myself to the questionnaire from Biz. The results, plus some of my inputs you can see here (pages 26-41):

  • Why I like doing business with people that have a lot to loose

    Because they are much more serious. The perspective of loosing stuff, for example image, is an excellent incentive for them to stick to the standards. A company/person from nowhere, if they screw up something, they can disappear in 2 seconds.

  • Site loading speed – important factor in google results position

    In those 200 algorithm variables that influence the site position in google search results, now the site loading speed becomes more important.

  • Future e-marketing guru

    Last year I was teaching top e-marketing knowhow during a “second chance” program, for unemployed young people. There were like 20 boys and girls, 18-22 y.o. The course lasted on several months and it was sponsored by the European Union. I really liked the experience of sharing knowledge with people that wanted to get something…

  • Google more interested in site overall authority than in content accuracy

    Lately I saw that google is more interested in the site overall position than in the particularly content. For example, let’s take a search term very niche, like “djksalkjdfalkdjfalkdjf”, where there are not too many competitors. Or no competitors at all. 🙂 Before, if you had a page more or less optimized for this search…

  • How to get PR4 in 3 weeks after you bought the domain

    3 weeks ago we bought a new domain, hpcheap.com – google keyword tool showed that there are a huge number of searches (110k monthly searches) and there was medium competition.

  • Excellent book from Peter Druckner – About decision and effectiveness

    In this weekend I read an excellent book “About decision and effectiveness “, from Peter Drucker. Here are some nice things to remember: – ask yourself what must be done always when in a new position – define your short, middle and long term objectives. Long term = years long term – focus on opportunities,…

  • Google index is full month base, not a last minute radiography

    Last year I kept records for recalculations of Page Rank and I saw first hand that it does it every 26 days (plus/minus) Now I realized something else. That the calculation is done during the full month, not like a full radiography in the last days. For example: I have a site (A) that I…

  • Eye injury price premium for webdevelopers

    I just quoted rebuilding a website that is a health hazard for programmers. The colors are so bright that it’s impossible to look more then a couple of seconds without going blind. Indeed, the colors are part of the brand positioning. But what about the poor developers? 🙂 Maybe we’ll use a mild color for…

  • Friends in online, offline, both or none?

    Until now, I was very proud that all my connections in Linkedin and Facebook were people that I personally know.Whenever a new person sent me a new connection request and I never knew it, he/she ended up in spam. But now I am reconsidering my opinion. It seems that there is an added benefit after…

  • HP cheap

    I am a fan of HP cheap and reliable products, especially printers.  Last year I thought to buy for the business a new printer (not a HP), multi-functional, with top specifications. Unfortunately, I bought it inkjet – big mistake. In the past year, the costs for original ink cartriges soar and I paid several times…

  • No-follow really means no-follow?

    All sites needs incoming links to grow. But a lot of places where you can get those links have a nasty habit of having no-follow tag. In twitter for example, when you specify your web address (that’s showing you in your profile page) – http://www.twitter.com/cferseta, you can see a “no follow”. In blogs comments –…
