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

5 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

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

29 noiembrie 20154 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

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

29 noiembrie 20154 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

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?

23 februarie 20184 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

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.

Dumb and Dumber To (2014) – very nice movie!

29 septembrie 20253 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

I liked this movie a lot: Dumb and Dumber To (2014) – IMDb. Some thoughts? It’s funny (pun intended) to see the consequences of joking. You don’t see this at first, but it’s nice. Humor has lots to do with either surprise or creativity (getting an idea). The first D&D was more on surprise, this one was more on getting some creative insights. A welcome change. It played well on “how should you see the new D&D, based on the fact that you already saw the previous version” (for example, what happened during the time between the movies, or what happened to the car?”. The smart people tend to have less courage. The stupid ones called, interacted, were friendly. At times, the characters said some pretty smart things. I really loved the pain the characters went through to have a bit of laugh. The effort to enjoy themselves, the pain they put for this. They didn’t play by the rules, they were creative. In the movie, they had not too much courage, but they were good people. They were reckless and cute in the same time. All-in-all, it was not extremely smart, but it was a pleasant watch. Good prevails. Their good intentions were better than their lack of capacities and abilities in solving things. I recently saw Beauty and the Beast (1991) – IMDb and Beauty and the Beast (2014) – IMDb, but I got much better insights & ideas from D&D to. Very fun to watch. :)

How to be better against Chessmaster software

19 august 20181 februarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

If you play at Chessmaster‘s highest level, it is likely you will never win a game. But, Chessmaster has a mode allowing you to pick the level of your opponents. So, let’s say you play against someone with 1200 level. The trick to win the game is the following: At the beginning, there are lots of pieces on the table. The computer needs a long time to start calculating possibilities, because each piece has lots of options to move. So, the trick is to gather some good advantage material at the beginning (a rook, two minor pieces). Then, force him to make exchanges, queen for queen, rook for rook. You’ll end up in the endgame with big advantage and, even if the computer can calculate much better now, with fewer pieces on the table, he won’t be able to beat you. The alternative – avoiding confrontation at the beginning and just exchanging the pieces can get you in the endgame with relative equilibrium and it won’t be long until Chessmaster will be able to play on your mistakes and beat you with ease.

“Simple” websites are better web sites

29 noiembrie 201529 ianuarie 2015 de Olivian Breda

This idea is a very basic one and with big repercussions – “make your site simple, this is, generally, the better strategy”. “In a study by Google in August of 2012, researchers found that not only will users judge websites as beautiful or not within 1/50th – 1/20th of a second, but also that “visually complex” websites are consistently rated as less beautiful than their simpler counterparts. Moreover, “highly prototypical” sites – those with layouts commonly associated with sites of it’s category – with simple visual design were rated as the most beautiful across the board. In other words, the study found the simpler the design, the better.” (source and more details: Why “Simple” Websites Are Scientifically Better)
