Reinvent Advertising with Project Wonderful
2008-04-01 02:41:00
Project Wonderful is not a well known name when it comes to online advertising as smaller sites like this get pushed out of view by larger compaines such as Google & there product Google Adsense.   As a website owner along with blog, forum & a few other sites i can honestly say advertising in general is a real problem, not on the money side, as that is of course your goal but the selection of advertisments that are shown by larger companies such as Google Adsense. They display random & sometimes "crap" adverts on your site. Project Wonderful claim to "change all that", Project Wonderful reinvents online advertising. They have made click fraud impossible (yes it's true). They give advertisers like you & i the power to choose what sites their ads appear on - & publishers the freedom to choose what ads show up on their sites. Project Wonderful don't have absurdly high minimum-payout levels, They have made the entire online advertising expe...

Website Accessibility
2008-02-25 14:59:00
Website Accessibility on the internet is just as important as it is in the real world. It is about supporting disabled visitors, but that is not the only reason for making a website accessible. An accessible website can be accessed by people with different web browsers, PDA's, and cell phones. A common misconception is that by making a website accessible, it will be not as attractive as a website that is not accessible. That is not the case. Website Accessibility does not need to affect presentation at all! Using semantic, well structured XHTML will take you a long the way towards creating an accessible website. To get an idea of how accessible a page is, try viewing it in a text-based browser like Lynx to see if the content still makes sense. This is far from the only Website Accessibility check you need to do, but it's a good start. Just imagine having a sight or dexterity disability, and visiting a website that is not accessible. You'd be upset - and discriminated against! Fed...

With the competition now getting off to a very well awaited start skinner (ukww admin) released the targeted search term for the international seo contest of 2008. Amazing the search term is in fact very obvious, so much so its actually painful to think about it is: <!-- seocontest2008 ;--> The targeted term being seocontest2008 must be used in that exact form meaning no uppercase variations, fullstops, spaces & hyphens for example: SEOcontest2008, seo contest 2008, seo_contest_2008 & SEO contest_2008 would not count as the search results. A quick check of Google.com for the targeted search term "seocontest2008" returns as no results found (by the time you check google may have indexed sites).

What is Web standards
2008-01-03 15:44:00
Web standards is a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development that includes those methods. Many interdependent standards and specifications, some of which govern aspects of the Internet, not just the World Wide Web, directly or indirectly affect the development and administration of web sites and web services. While any of these may be called “web standards,” advocates within the web standards movement tend to focus on the higher-level standards that most directly affect the accessibility and usability of web sites. Web standards, in the broader sense, consist of the following: Recommendations published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)Internet standard (STD) documents published by the I...

How to Write Web Friendly Content
2007-12-30 20:46:00
When you first start writing for the web, you have to keep in mind that your readers probably aren't going to read your entire content as they would a print publication. Most web readers are in a hurry, scanning over words. That’s why it’s important to write your content in a way that makes it easy for them to read what you write. Limit Your Text If you write too many words, chances are your readers will get discouraged by just looking at the volume of text and won’t read past the first paragraph (if they read anything at all). When writing for the web, strive to write at least 400 words, but not more than 600-700, if you want your readers to read your articles. Anything more than 700 words is too much text and should be pruned. And, then after you’ve pared it down, you still may need to break it up into smaller, digestible segments for your readers. Use Headings and Subheadings to Break Up Content Because internet readers prefer to view web content...

XML! What is it for?
2007-12-15 15:41:00
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. Basically, it is a markup language created to transport structured data across different systems and platforms. There is an article over W3C titled “XML in 10 Points,” which gives an introduction to this language. The 10 points are: XML is for structuring dataXML looks a bit like HTMLXML is text, but isn’t meant to be readXML is verbose by designXML is a family of technologiesXML is new, but not that newXML leads HTML to XHTMLXML is modularXML is the basis for RDF and the Semantic WebXML is license-free, platform-independent and well-supported After reading the article you realize why you should care about XML (or at least understand how it works).
