There’ll be lots of demos and code as we bring you bang-up-to-date with what’s happening in the world of Microsoft clients.

My notes about internet marketing

clock January 10, 2009 14:51 by author victorantos

Just found this post on some forum:

the truth is SEO will not work for your blog if it is new. The way to go is social media. My blog is only 3 months old but alexa is nearing top 100k. Blog income just reached $600 a month.
All these thanks to stumble upon, Digg and reddit.

Add many friends in these networks.
Be active. 
Contribute to their communities.
Submit your posts and make sure not to spam.
Do not become an affiliate whore.

The most important thing is always support others. Contribute with quality posts. If you find a good post written by someone else , do not hesitate and add it to the network, It will only do good for you.

If you follow this formula you cant get wrong. If you are really good you will get 200-300 visitors in hours. Not in a day. 
 
I've posted here to have it in my archive. I think it's worth it!

Daniel Braithwaite, IT RecruitmentConsultant, from Computer FuturesSolutions called me, Yesterday.

 He was proposing me a dot net job in west midlands area. I refused this job, because it was not a web developer (asp.net C#) position. It was a windows forms C# developer job.

So, he then  told me about a SEO position. I was interested, becasue I like to do online marketing and search engine optimization.

In about 2 minutes I've impressed him with my SEO results for my company website. Take a look on my results.

 Some SEO statistics for my website :

Remove NavBar from Blogger.com or Blogspot.com

clock October 26, 2008 13:12 by author victorantos

If  you've created a blog using blogger.com or blogspot.com and you are annoyed by top NavBar from your pages, usually a blue/gray navbar with a search box,

then you can remove/delete/hide it very easy.

So to delete NaveBar you need to enter in your page template this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>

<head>
    <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
    <b:skin><![CDATA[/*
-----------------------------------------------
Blogger Template Style
Name:     asp.net
Designer: victorantos
URL:      www.victorantos.com
Date:     30 Oct 2008
Updated by: Blogger Team
----------------------------------------------- */


#navbar-iframe {   display: none !important;}

...............    here is the rest of code from your template    .............

 

So, go to Layout then click edit html not edit NavBar and do a copy/paste of this code #navbar-iframe{display:none !important;}

I hope you'll find the wright location to insert this code in order to delete/hide NavBar from Googles blogger
