URL shortening started (I think) in the first years of 2000, and the most notable example of the first years was tinyurl.com. The web site still has a similar interface of what it used to have back then. Time passed, and more services appeared, such as bit.ly or goo.gl (and many many others, of course).
The current blog post is about URL shorteners – which one to choose, why should you use them, why avoid using them, some real life examples and some conclusions.

Recently, I had an unfortunate event buying from an online store (the price I paid was different than the one displayed on the web site). I sent them an email. This has happened to me before on their web site. After a few days, they replied that I’m wrong, and they’re right. Still, they might be wrong, nevertheless (they admitted). To settle the situation, they gave me around 1/3 than the required amount of money, and they thanked me for my understanding of the situation.
The topic of this blog post: what can you learn from the above example?
Am scris, anterior, un articol pe tema meta description, aici: Meta tag-ul description – ghid complet de creare a lui: Olivian Breda Acum, răspunsul la întrebare: Google ia ce dorește. Uneori ia meta description din site, alteori își face el meta description, pe baza unei analize a paginii. Contează mult ce scrie utilizatorul. Dacă scriu la Google numele site-ului, probabil va da descrierea paginii principale. Dacă scriu la Google un text exact match din pagină, probabil va da un fragment care conține acel text. Contează mult ca meta descrierile să fie diferite, în interiorul site-ului, și mai contează să aibă lungimea corespunzătoare, între 110 și 155 de caractere. Contează și să ai CTR (rată de click din rezultatele Google) bună.
Răspund în clipul de mai jos la întrebarea – ce platformă de blogging ar trebui să alegi dacă încă testezi apa și nu știi 100% sigur că vrei să te apuci de blogging?
Soluția este actualizată la nevoile și opțiunile anului 2014.
Let’s say you have an e-commerce web site. For various reasons, you still keep an old product on your web site, not forgetting to mention that the product is no longer available and can’t be ordered anymore. One of the biggest frustration I have in visiting such product pages is the lack of any information regarding the price. So, if I’m looking for a computer case which is no longer sold, I can’t have any comparison point to what the price would be nowadays. My suggestion for web site owners would be to display the historical evolution of price. The web site camelcamelcamel.com does it well: , but they don’t rank as high as a big e-commerce store, even for products which are out-of-stock. There are lots of reasons for which you might not want to display historical price evolution on a product you currently sell. There are little reasons for not providing this information for an out-out-stock product, still displayed on your web site. Extra tip: transform old product pages into something worthwhile for affiliate marketing. Think about this – you can have a very valuable page put in place for old products. It’s true that you will not be able to sell many things, but, still, you can convert visitors to newer products. So, if you have a detailed description of a subwoofer which is not longer available, you can try and persuade visitors to buy newer products.
Let’s say you have a custom CMS for your online store. You ask this and that, and then comes the time when you need to add a search box. You use basic usability rules (place it at the top, big search box, big button, colorful button, simple text button – „search”), you might even add advanced things, such as auto-complete or advanced criteria for search. But what should you focus on on the results page? How should you make, functionality-wise, the search results page for an e-commerce?
At times, conflict arises in customer support. A says a thing, B says the opposite to that affirmation:
Client, person A: You should take the first road left on the street.
Customer care representative, person B: No one takes that road! (notice the exclamation point)
If you’re person A, and a customer care representative (B) gave you that answer, it’s very hard to continue from here. You have just taken all the possible liberties of person A to continue. Even if you are right, even if really no one takes it on that road, you should avoid communicating like person B. What are some alternatives to this scenario?At times, conflict arises in customer support. A says a thing, B says the opposite to that affirmation:
