In the past months, I received some very interesting cooperation proposals, from Romania and USA, that I must say they really works. Join some “360 degrees offering groups”. What are those? An association between complementary businesses that goes to a client with a complete offer. So, Ferseta e-Consulting Cabinet (offering e-marketing services) + a PR … Read more
I see that switter.com generates more traffic to those who use it, me included. And direct links with “follow” always helps for google:)
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):
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.
Google just banned one of our Adwords Accounts, because the landing page was a very low quality. Unfortunately, we cannot get back the money from the balance, which is very annoying. Learning #1: always train the client and if possible force him to be as web-civilized as possible Learning #2: always keep your eggs in … Read more

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 … Read more
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 … Read more
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.

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 … Read more
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 … Read more
