How to Brand yourself well?
Author: admin
Branding is an art. Some do it using trade show displays, others prefer exhibition stands in the office for more interactive demonstration of the product. Any of of these methods works and help branding and marketing, although perhaps the most commonly spread is brochure displays. So which of these method is the best? Basically, it depends on your location and situation. For instance, if you are organizing a presentation in your own office, it’s easy and convenient to use exhibition stands while if you travel abroad (or just to another city) it’s far easier to avail of trade show displays. They are often big and come with lightening so you need not worry about anything except how to present your product in the best possible way. Good luck with branding your product and company!

New from Microsoft Live Labs: Volta
Author: admin
Microsoft might net be as active recently as Google with developping various online tools and software utilities, but it definitely does show some progress. So, what do we have here?
Microsoft’s Volta technology is a developer toolset that enables you to build multi-tier web applications by applying familiar techniques and patterns. Developers prototype the application first as an entirely client application; afterwards the compiler takes care of the client code, server code, and boilerplate code that ties the two tiers, handling such functions as communication, serialization, and security.
How to get started?
- Download and install Volta.
- Follow the Getting Started guide to build your first application.
- See the developer guidance for more detailed examples and patterns.
- Tier-split until your heart is content. That’s all.
The Next Website Ranking System is Here
Author: admin
So, tadaaa… here it is: IZEARanks.com. We all have been waiting for a better ranking system after Google PageRank failed or rather penalized many webmasters and Alexa has proven to be easily gamed and manipulated. IZEA Ranks is a tool that ranks bloggers based on actual traffic and hits influence, which is measures on a daily basis and is relative to other blogs’ traffic. Just like IQ test, it measures your blog’s ability and influence together with comparing it to others and providing your overall rank standings.
In order to install the IZEARanks tools on your blog you need to go to IZEARanks.com to get started. Sign up is free, of course. After you have your account activated, you will be able to add a piece of javascript to your blog’s source code, which will collect and report a rank based on actual traffic and hits. Bloggers will have a choice between displaying page views + visitors or just your RealRank. Needless to add that it’s only good for those who have access to their template’s source code, as many bloggers who use free hosts that prevent bloggers from editing the template will not be able to measure their RealRank.

Why I stopped Reading John Chow?
Author: admin
I was a passionate reader of John Chow’s blog up until a few months ago. It was interesting, it was teaching me how to make money online, it was nicely written with sense of evil humour and he was a good model and example of making money online for me.
But, at some point we all fall preys of greed.
Sponsored reviews are nice, and they are even nicer when you get $450 per pop, but posting about brain control vitamins, and other totally irrelevant products (that I doubt even find a buyer on a blog that focuses on making money online) is somewhat not very readers-friendly. The 125*125 banners are nice, but placing 10 (!) of them on every page, most of which are blinking and lead to dodgy website is yet again not readers friendly. Linking to everything from office chairs to lowest level MFA sites is obviously profitable but how does his blog look?
Without a doubt he earns more and more every month and appearantly adding more and more ads, as well as getting penalized by Google did not affect him all that badly. For me, reading daily on the exciting TTZ Media updates (his own ads company) as well as viewing appetizing pictures of dishes from luxurious dinners he has been invited too is again — nice, but not enough to keep an average blogger who is eager to make money online — reading daily or subscribing. Sad, it used to be my favorite blog.
