Forums vs Blogs

08-07-2008

QualityGal at Jim Boykin Blog says 'there is still value for forum as community in certain instances.' But I think there are no some instances as forum is community - public building, but blog is like hut for a single loneliness - lone person - pls, notice: not a pair or three of ones. Proud community of oneself.

  • 1. Forum is a multiuser thing from the beginning. Blog is for the individual.
         * Can you name any three multiuser blog scripts, besides WordPress MU?
  • 2. Blog is personal diary - for a person. Forum is social diary.
  • 3. Forum has very easy, readable UI - anyone can easy find interested topic and get input for discussion. Blog launches article and then subsequent comments.

I love forums, as well blogs. At forums you speak loud. At blogs you speak low, almost wisper to the ear.

Blogs are whispering community. Forums are Coliseums.

Bug and Dragon

28-05-2008

If you are even not a fan of Opera or in case Opera is your magic powerhorse, you might be interested to know Opera alfa-released its own Developer Tools called Opera Dragonfly, which allows debug JavaScript, inspect CSS, DOM, and view any errors.

I don't know what the most popular browser SEO Freelancers use, but Firefox maniacs (as me) love SEO Firefox plugins, especially beloved Firebug - a Firefox important Web Developers Add-on (created by Joe Hewitt in 2006), which is now free and open source, and available for IE, Opera and Safari.

Sooth to say, I never heard of any Web Developer with Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar. But you?

Future Of SEO

07-05-2008

IN REPLY:
In fact I very like your, Jennifer, article and surprised why nobody did it before, including me 8)
In spite of your irony on my comment, I will continue.

SEO will be the Huge Industry within Search Engine's politics forever without doubt.
SEO specialists will deliver to SE' developers human mistakes / bugs.
Nobody wants to be lost.
A huge companies (++150 employees) will seek for SEO teams which could deliver Top results.
Also we wait for RSS-specialists, which could publish RSS-streams fast and effectively.
SMO-guys wait for a special tactics similar to bulk-posting for Social communities.
Including rising of Visual Recognising SEs, we can wait for picture/image optimizers. Media optimizing - is the future of SEO specialist.
Mobile community wait for SEO specialists of mobile search optimization. XHTML isn't enough for mobile sites. Including Mobile Social Networking rise we can wait for a special mobile social network promoters in very close future.
But also Semantic Web is a new aspect of SEO freeelancers knowledge. Anyhow.

Conclusion.
SEO freelancers are the specialists of the future. A competition in search will do SEO-specialists bigger, smarter, taller of all even programmers, that is why it is unimportant how web site built: Perl, PHP, Ruby, XSL, LAMP - how cool software is - the question - what position it has.

Type-in traffic

19-03-2008

Type-in traffic or Direct Navigation traffic is a traffic generated by a person either typing an URL directly in the browser address bar or going to a site directly from a bookmark (usual, not social). Type-in traffic keeps 10-20% of total web traffic.

Advertisers count type-in traffic as the very best quality traffic there is. Of course, type-in visitors have had desire regarding your offering, they instinctively, as flying southward birds, type in their intention directly into browser. They are motivated to reach their aim, but you know exactly what they are seeking for. When they type automatically, they think of your site!

So to generate type-in traffic you need to buy domains with a cool simple names, kind of fish.com, red.com, girls.org, tobto.org,... Do you think you can find them? Who knows.

But how to find exact figures of your direct navigation traffic in your site statistical report? They go as 'no referer'. Unfortunately Google Analytics doesn't track sources without referer and does not give any details on it.
