News and Guides » Me, myself and I

Just some thoughts of mine…

The new year has come (with a PR update as well). First, change the footer of your sites from Copyright 2009 to 2010. Next, get in touch with the news of this year. See latest movies. See Avatar at iMax. A little birdie told me big things will take place. If you want to have success in 2010, try to fit within the events that will happen. Ask your friends about their expectations. Drink beer with your guys (shop with your girls). Talk with your family. Love your closest.  Kiss your soul mate. Set your goals. Plan to work. Work. Start your engines. Turn on the volume. Say no to war. Be better. Be kind. Love nature. Be green. 2010, here we come, embrace us.

All you webmasters, Google, Yahoo and other SE spam teams, hackers and last but not least, spammers out there, pay attention, I have this very last Christmas gift for you. Continuing my last post about content hosting communities, I am going show you how to get a hi5 reference, then I will show some other “nice” places to spam your links and last but not least, I will point some “great directories”.

If you didn’t knew, one can have a medication group on hi5: hi5.com /friend/group/3582088–Cialis-Professional–front-html . “Cialis Professional” - nice, huh? I mean, this group be intense in many aspects, much better then Cialis Amateur

How about this Vibracin community hosted on Galeon, galeon.com /dinya/vibramycin/vibramycin-dose.html , a PR 7 community which also loves spam ?

These 2 look also promising:

changa .extra.hu /vibramycin/vibramycin-dosage.html

atoato .happyhost.org /inderal/what-is-inderal.html

Notice that although these 2 are image hosting communities, somehow the “hosting guys” managed to put some good indexed text over there.

Now, on directories. First, a joke: riyi .net (check this for spam reference: riyi .net/ index.php?c=211&p=16 )

Particularly, the first page words are amusing:  “Choose Vivid Directory Today!” 

Now, to get more serious. Here is a directory which is on 2900 Alexa, with PR7 and more. This directory recommend itself as a Singapore travel guide, providing business listings for businesses in Singapore. So far, great. But things get a little messy when you can read about Genital warts symptoms (streetdirectory .com /travel_guide/111133/stds/genital_warts_symptoms.html) at the medical section. My question here is why the heck need travelers this kind of information? Better yet, why does Google offer rankings for this site on all second and third query pages, for most relevant keywords SEOed by this directory? Why should Singapore travelers need to read about how to treat face eczema or how to diagnose Alzheimer disease? Why should the rest of the world need to read those type of things from a non-relevant site, when clicking on the 2nd page G query results?

Everything is changing and domains make no exception. Here is a glimpse: beacon - directory .com is now a blog with the title “Russian Women marriage agency”. Wow, nice going!

Hope I got some tears or smiles from you.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all our customers, collaborators and teammates that have interacted within our small and nice community. The following year MyGreenCorner.com will focus more and more on maintaining and improving the quality of our listings and categories, as well as to our site overall. I would also like to thank to all webmasters that have submitted their sites. I want to assure you  that your listings will be carefully reviewed and taken into consideration, if they comply with our submission rules.

Although the crisis has hit hard this year, I hope Santa is richer then ever. I have big plans for the following year and I am pretty sure all of you have, so I wish you good luck with your businesses.

I will also like to use this opportunity to say Happy New Year!

Hoping all the best for you in 2010,

Dugu & co.

I haven’t written for quite a while to MGC blog. Most of the time, I’ve been very busy with my research. Right now, I am involved in a project at Percro Laboratory which is based in Pisa and belongs to Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Italy. My assignment is to compute the inverse kinematics for a virtual hand in XVR. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyway, lets move down to our business. Things are moving very fast these days in web industry, though. I always take 2-3 hours/day to manage my sites. Over the last couple of years, I’ve learn a lot in web marketing. I will now give 5 tips that I always have in my mind when optimizing my sites:

1. Be special. Don’t do the same thing that has been done by other 100 people. Maybe at the beginning it was a good idea, but at the moment you are trying it, it’s most probably just a waste of time. Instead, do something different. Try something new. Be prepared to try original things and be flexible so that you can deal with them.

2. Be fast. That means you have to put speed not only into your application, but into your marketing efforts. Otherwise, someone better will steal your idea place it on the market in front of you.

3. Work. Nothing comes out without good hard working. If you are not prepared to put time and nerves in your site, it will most probably fail.

4. Invest. Don’t be afraid to invest some of your profit back into your production tool. If you are keeping your site intact, you will be outplayed. Look at this guy. Imagine that a few years ago, he was one of the leaders in his market. Now he is resting in peace at 3-4%. He didn’t invest.

5. Be good. When you are good and you know in your soul that you are good, you gain more work power and feel much better overall. You have self-respect and you respect others. It may seem nonsense words to you, but on internet, a lot of crap is spreading from tenebrous webmasters which have no shame. Various tricks and schemes that in the end help visitors to loose their money are invented each day. But good webmasters that prove ambition and honesty will always be rewarded in long term.

I hope these advices help someone, somewhere.
