Small WordPress trick to change from small letters to big letters

de

Let’s say you use WordPress.

You may know, for SEO purposes, it’s better to redirect a user visiting:

site.com/BigLetterURL to:

site.com/bigletterurl

You should be enforcing small URLs to all users, for SEO.

Note: there is a high likelihood that this script will give errors on very big web sites and old web sites (asking for a Big Letter CSS file, and receving a small one). Try to use it on new web sites, where you can instantly see if anything goes wrong.

You also have the option of implementing rel=canonical, which give you 70-80% of the results of the current solution

Cum aduci Internet într-o zonă, tipic, fără Internet

Salut, Sunt zone în România în care nu doar că nu există Internet prin cablu, dar nici Romtelecom nu prea ajunge, și, mai mult, nu prea ai semnal nici de telefonie mobilă. Cum faci să aduci Internetul în acele zone? O soluție este amplificatorul de semnal. Câteva idei: Amplificatoare semnal GSM, 3G , UMTS , WifI | Repetoare GSM – AmplificatorGSM.ro Amplificatoare telefonie mobila 1500m2 GSM 900MHz Repeater Handy Verstärker Booster LOG +20dBi Antenne Vodafone | eBay Cheap GSM 900MHz Mobile Phone Signals Booster Repeater (50 dB) TWP XD-2 Mobile Phone Signal Amplifier Cable Ceiling Repeater Booster – White + Light Blue – Free Shipping – DealExtreme Observații: Solutia operatorilor oficiali de telefonie e mai scumpă. Trebuie să știi bine ce frecvențe sunt necesare. Există riscul să cumperi ceva nefuncțional. E posibil să fie utilă doar pentru semnal convorbiri pe o singură bandă, nu și net 3G. (via)

Fury (2014) – a philosophical movie of war heroes preferring to chat rather than fight!

de

I just saw Fury (2014), at a recommendation of a friend. Most reviews focus on the military aspects of fighting, the implausible scenario of fighting, some on the cruelty of the characters, some on the cliches of the characters of their behaviors. My focus is on something else – the lack of pragmatism in an American soldier: A battalion of SS fighters are coming their way, and they spend around 5 minutes deciding – „should we stay? Yes, I stay! I don’t know! Should I stay”. They prepare a little and then they finally enter the tank. And they talk about 10 minutes. „Isn’t this great? Let’s drink. Life is good. Haha, this is so funny!”. It was unbelievable. At some point, the rookie of the team tells them „Hey, the Germans were coming!”. They thought they were about to be killed, and they forgot to check if the Germans were coming. They weren’t even looking. All this while being pretty sure that they are about to be killed. Then there’s the final scene in the fights, where Brad Pitt enters the tank and they talk for a while. Nothing much, just philosophies. He says he’s sorry. This is happening with the tank being surrounded by Germans, guns firing, and all. And two characters talk about war. (they could be shot any minute with anti-tank weapons) I didn’t think they were at war. We, Romanians, have a song called „Miorita”. It has been translated. Anyhow, the poem is about giving up life, and considering death like a wedding. …

How to „sell” your crowdfunding project?

de

Let’s say you have an idea, and you need some financing. You consider the project you have will benefit more people in the society, and it has a social aspect. You want to get people involved, to find out about your project and to make them invest in you, in the hope of your project being successful and benefiting even more people.

For example, let’s say you invent a cool gadget for mobile phones, you have all the basic details setup, you know how the end product will look like, but you need money to produce it and distribute it. You call for help on the Internet, you write a project and you plan to post it online (hint – 6 Top Crowdfunding Websites: Which One Is Right For Your Project? – Forbes).

How will you promote this?

Două magazine care fac afiliere pe care vi le recomand: eMAG.ro și Carrefour-Online.ro

Dacă vreți să faceți afiliere, vă recomand două magazine online:  (campania este disponibilă în rețeaua ). Motive? Încrederea cumpărătorilor în brand. (multe produse se vând doar pentru că țin de eMAG) Poate cel mai cunoscut brand de vânzări în online în România. Promoții foarte bune. Rată bună de acceptare comisioane. Timp scurt de plată comisioane. Cel mai mare retailer online din România, și singurul brand care se compară cu cele off-line în segmentul (că nu e nișă, în niciun caz) în care activează.  (campania este disponibilă în rețeaua 2Parale) Oamenii sunt familiarizați cu brandul din offline. Nu există mulți furnizori pe zona de produse alimentare / obiecte de uz casnic. Promoții bune, când există. Rata bună de acceptare comisioanre și rapiditate ulterioară în plăți. Am avut experiențe pozitive cu ambele branduri. Succes!

Postponing the buying decisions for technology items

de

Let’s say you want to buy a monitor. If you have any option of buying that item later, postpone the decision. For example, if you know you will use the monitor only rarely, and you don’t need too perfect graphics, you could buy a second-hand big monitor. In one or two years, you could sell that monitor, and get some of your money back, and within those years, some new technologies will likely appear. Or, let’s say you only bought Microsoft keyboards, and you had only problems with them, and you want to try some new stuff. It’s better to buy a second hand Logitech keyboard, see how it goes, and, when you’re happy with the decision, you’ll take a much more informed decision. Or, let’s say you have the option of buying a cheaper smartphone. You should jump to the occasion of testing the water, buy that smartphone and see how it fits your needs. Of course, there are counter-arguments. All the examples above are of poorer quality and some of them might break more easily, leaving you without the warranty. Buying second-hand implies some risks. Yes, you will get a better monitor and smartphone two years from now, but what will you do during those years? Will you be as happy with the second-hand item as you would have been with the new item? Anyhow, if you can postpone a technology item for some years, it’s likely you’ll be able to get a better deal in future years. It’s just that the wait …

„I want to start something online, but I lack an innovative business idea”. Well, actually, the innovative idea is *nothing*, you can be innovative with an *old* idea

I hear this quite a lot. People looking for the perfect idea, for the perfect circumstances and the perfect wind. And not only the perfect circumstances don’t come, but people tend also to have difficulties in coming up with «good» ideas.

Merită să faci redirect de la URL dinamic la URL static?

Merită să faci redirect de la URL dinamic la URL static?

Salut, 1. Aș lua în considerare varianta să nu faci redirect. Citește asta: Google say, in bold, “avoid reformatting a dynamic URL to make it look static.” But Google also admitted that “static URLs might have a slight advantage in terms of clickthrough rates.” However, Google said “dynamic URLs should be favored over hiding parameters to make them look static.” Does that mean SEOs and webmasters should stop rewriting their dynamic URLs? Would I personally recommend that? I think so, based on what I have been seeing recently from Google. As long as your dynamic URLs do not contain an unusual amount of parameters, like over five, I would think it would serve you better, in terms of ranking well in Google, to use dynamic URLs. Again, this is a huge change in SEO philosophy and practice. (sursa – Google Says, Don’t Rewrite Dynamic URLs To Static URLs) 2. Dacă vrei să faci, pune redirecționare 301 de la vechile URL-uri la cele noi. Detalii. 3. Pierzi ceva dacă faci redirect? Cu siguranță vei pierde niște poziții în Google, întrebarea e doar cât de multe. În principiu, se transferă cam 70% din valoarea linkurilor către vechile URL-uri, chiar dacă faci redirect. După ce trece un an doi, se va transfera doar vreo 60%. Drept concluzie – ia serios în considerare să nu faci redirect de la dinamic la static. PS, 2018.02.23: Dacă faci o redirecționare 301 pierzi, inerent, ceva. E imposibil să faci un redirect și să nu ai o minimă pierdere. De ținut cont de asta.
