What I Do, When not Improving the Web

Fri, 12/07/2007 - 03:15 — Yuri

I've been tagged by Elizabeth to write about what I am doing, when not doing SEO.

Run

When I have a full time job, I run in the morning (2-6am). It turned out I can't make myself run, if I don't have a financial guarantee to afford food and equipment in the long run (literally, too), btw.

In winter, it is mostly fast, short runs, while in summer I tend to run for hours.

Cook

As Elizabeth, I also cook, but nothing fancy. It doesn't mean it isn't delicious though.

Microsoft Live.com Plays Referrer Stats Games and Ruins Your AdSense Income

Wed, 11/14/2007 - 03:31 — Yuri

While it is common, nowadays, to whine how Google shouldn't tell people how to make money with their websites (like selling links), this time Microsoft has done the same.

Lately, it's been noticed that Live.com spams the referrer logs of the websites, claiming that it is only about quality check.

Build the Web, stay healthy and live happily

Thu, 06/21/2007 - 11:17 — Yuri

Normally, working at a computer isn't considered as harmful as working on a toxic plant, poisonous factory or somewhere similar, though some (most?) people seem to enjoy it. However, it doesn't mean that building the Web doesn't negatively affect your health.

Where does it hit you?

Do you receive the feeds?

Hello there, folks.

This is yet another post about improving this very site for those, who read the posts, but don't receive feeds to their reader.

It has come to my attention that some people can not access the feed through the URL they have subscribed earlier (such as http://improvetheweb.com/feed/).

Do you have any problem with receiving feeds?

If you do, do let me know via yuri @ improvetheweb.com pr by commenting here.

Improve the Web Site theme: text, graphics, or both: Poll

Thu, 05/31/2007 - 04:50 — Yuri

Hello there, dear readers.

In comments to a couple of recent posts, it was said that the site looks awful. As much as I wanted to see how well the web developers, SEOs and such respond to the text website, I also want to understand, how much people prefer a text theme or a graphic theme on this site.

How will 2007 be different for us?

Wed, 05/09/2007 - 11:38 — Yuri

The year 2006 has brought us new ideas, challenges and experience. Naturally, 2007 will have something new for us. What will it be for anyone managing a website?

Lately, Bill Slawski and I have talked a bit about the future in the search engine marketing industry. The first part of the discussion is located at SEO by the SEA. Check it out for quite an interesting discussion and more prophecies.

Below is the second part of the discussion plus my own musings. Enjoy (and feel free to link to it, too).

How to create, improve and promote a charity website

Wed, 05/09/2007 - 10:44 — Yuri

Though it may seem easy (or more common) to promote an online business (an e-commerce or a corporate website), charities tend to have websites as well, and they need attention, too. Let's see how a charity can get noticed online (most likely, on a low budget, but with a couple of passionate workers).
