Ce-i, dom’le, cu fontul ăsta!?

de

Dacă te uiți pe olivian.ro, o să observi că scriu cu un font destul de mare. Iacătă și motivul: 16 Pixels: For Body Copy. Anything Less Is A Costly Mistake | Smashing Magazine The 100% Easy-2-Read Standard | Information Architects Textul meu nu e mare, dimpotrivă, textul meu e cel obișnuit. Majoritatea site-urilor ar trebui să fie cu fonturi de dimensiunea aceasta. Ca idee, când deschid un site pe care citesc mai multe articole, primul lucru e să mă dau mai în spate față de monitor și să dau Ctrl + + de la tastatură, pentru a mări fontul. Poate nu ar trebui să fac eu asta, ci cei care „desenează” site-urile?

Share, reshare, tweet, retweet, like – or not?

Let’s say you’re company X. You’re on Facebook. You have 150 likes, and most of your articles get no comments, but when they do, they’re from your customers you like. You’re also on Twitter, and have 50 followers, who read you, but you don’t interact much with them. Let’s say you’re company Y. On Facebook, you have 2,500 likes, but close to no one interacts with you. On Twitter you have 400 followers, but they’re very passive. Let’s say you’re company Z. You have 200 likes on Facebook, but when you post something, you have interactions. On Twitter you have 100 followers, with whom you communicate quite a lot. In my opinion, a company in X’s position wants to get to Z. More likes, more followers. That’s it. If I were X, I would strive to get to Z. Not more people who „like” you (but are passive), but more people with whom to engage. Much more difficult to view as success, but this is success, in my opinion – an active community.

You look at a web site and you may think – „Hmm, I bet I could have thought of that. But to implement it, boy, now this is hard”. I’ve heard, years ago, at a Internetics events, one guy doing web design for major corporations. He said coming up with fresh & new ideas is much more difficult than implementing it. Quite true. I can look at my blog (OK, not a big corporation, I have to admit) and tell you that it’s much more difficult knowing what to place where, than actually doing it. I can Google things, find out someone else with a similar problem, and – voilà.

Care sunt criteriile după care să cumperi linkuri?

E OK să cumperi linkuri?

Pe scurt, nu.
În detaliu, Google zice similar ca oamenii de mai jos:

Optim ar fi să găsești soluții de obținere de linkuri în white hat.

Pe de altă parte, dacă urmezi toate sfaturile mele de mai jos, e foarte puțin probabil ca linkurile să fie foarte vizibile și să poți „strecura” o cumpărare de linkuri.

De ce am cumpărat, până acum linkuri?
Pentru că metodele complet white hat sunt foarte costisitoare, mai costisitoare decât cumpărarea de linkuri.

10,000 hours to reach excellency – but how to do it?

You may have heard of this study: Throughout the publication, Gladwell repeatedly mentions the „10,000-Hour Rule”, claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours. (source) A slight change to this? You have to deliberately practice on getting better. So not just „OK, we «worked» for 10,000 hours”, but more like „We tried very hard to become better within 10,000 hours”. So, not just work, but focus on becoming better.
