Re: PageRank Update – Beware Of Link Exchange Offers

José Carrilho — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 22:15:15 -0000

Hi,

Well, I had my website's (not my blog) name as a subdomain (host/mysite) and had a pagerank of 2. Then suddenly lost it.
I thought : maybe it's because it's under the main domain.
So, I pointed the DNS to my website's hoster and now it's www.website.com, but I still have no pagerank.
At least I got good news this week. The people at DMOZ already updated to my new URL, which was quite kind from their side.
I guess I'll have to wait.
I wish I'd have at least a pagerank of 1, but I got 0 for my website and blog. And when I check my link popularity, I don't get links under Google and MSN....I wonder why. I even have submited a sitemap to Google...
Anyway, what matters to me now is writing good content on my blog, or at least trying.

Take care and good luck with your website,

JosÃ©

Re: Gaping security hole in Linux

Hi,

There was NeXt and Amiga, both promissing machines.
I miss my Amiga's multi-tasking and no "download impositions"
One day I would like to see the possibility to use any operating system to run the same program, i.e. the user would buy a computer and would install any operating system of preference. A bought program would be done in a universal language - we were close with assembler and machine code, I guess - and the computer would compile it to run under the user's preferred operating system.
Do it ! :-)

Kind regards,

José

Hi,

Very good taste on these.
The 8 is my favourite, but on the other hand it kind of doesn't connect with the rest.

Re: 100 Most Commonly Misspelled Words in American English

José Carrilho — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:20:36 -0000

Hi,

One of the most common mistakes is using "then" instead of "than".
I have the tendency to write "abble" instead of "able", but then again I'm portuguese, so I have an excuse.
What about aesthetics / esthetics, I would guess it was included.

Kynd reegards,

José :-)

Hi,

I do hope that other countries are not waiting for the USA to start, especially when they are far from being a good example in terms of polution.
It's shameful that a crisis was needed to talk about this. Something that should have started thirty years ago.
I do hope that with the new president, the USA will start a better approach to the environmental issues.

Re: SiteKreator - online web site builder - design templates, content management | SEO - Quality of website copy

José Carrilho — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:12:35 -0000

Hi,

I've read many times that the url of a website should be related to the theme.
This can hold true in terms of web crawling, but there are zillions of websites doing that.
Often I feel that branding development and off-line marketing is a major complement and sometimes more important than the online one.
If we look at names of major well known brands, their title/url doesn't tell a robot what their site is about; of course that they will use tags on their HTML., but I guess that you get my point.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Sony OLED TVs Get Ten Times Skinnier

José Carrilho — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:00:25 -0000

Hi,

I think that the main thing about OLED is not the thin TVs but where the screens may be applied.
When the price comes down, we'll be seing screens on t-shirts, cereal boxes, newspapers etc. (I think).
I guess that the brand Cambridge is also working well on this.

Kind regards,

Hi,

This reminds me of the Douro region of wines here in Portugal.
I wonder if the portuguese learned this system from this area of the globe.
Now lets see some more of this great blog.

Re: Schalke 04 1 - 0 FC Porto

José Carrilho — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:48:28 -0000

Hi everyone,

Schalke is a good team as many of other german ones, however from what I saw, it's quite possible for the F C Porto to pass to the next stage.
Lets hope that we'll see a great game.
And no, I'm not from F C Porto, I'm from Benfica:d

Lets hope that we may see some good games and that the fairplay that is expected in the field also happens outside.

Hi,

Some great plays here.
One thing that one should notice is that usually great players have a good behave in the field.
Of course that once in a while they act like they shouldn't, but that's usually the exception.

Re: Barcelona v Racing Santander

José Carrilho — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:24:00 -0000

Hi,

The time when the big ones were always on top is over, although that fact is only recently arriving her in Portugal.
The football in Spain is of great quality, like it is in UK and Italy. Thus the fact of the stadiums always having a good assistance.
Unfortunately that doesn't happen much here.

Take care,

Re: Cell Phone Cameras Forever

José Carrilho — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:59:21 -0000

Hi,

To use a cell camera more or less also has to do a bit with our society culture.
Lets not forget that when cells with cameras started to appear, the japanese market was more targeted than other ones.
With globalization, the differences between countries and thus cultures, tends to fade.
With the advent of flexible screens we'll be watching videos on t-shirts, cereal boxes and so on.
Heck ! One may even upload a video from the cell to the t-shirt :-)

Kind regards,

Re: Top Twelve Reasons to Twitter

José Carrilho — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:20:26 -0000

Hi,

I've read good things about Twitter but I'm not there and I don't know if I ever will.
I'm just not the "follower" kind of guy, although there are quality blogs that I follow.
Building my opinion based upon my beliefs is one of my characteristics.
Of course that if I should guess that Twitter would get me lots of traffic to my blog.... :-)
From all the strategies and social websites, together with lots of blogs that practically say the same thing, in my opinion it's quality and relevant content, mixed with a good dose of creativity that helps to an organic growth of a web presence.

Have a great week,

José

Re: 2008/05/20/yandex-ipo/

José Carrilho — Tue, 20 May 2008 20:56:25 -0000

Dear Readers,

With the stock markets not so healthy due to the status quo of the world's economy, for now we still can't say that things are that bad.
IPOs of major internet related companies still draw attention from investors and the successes of Google and Baidu are inspirations for the following ones.
It's important to notice that although the USA continue to be the barometer of the world's economy, the buying power is starting to get more balanced, shifting towards East, namely Russia, China and Middle East; something that one can confirm if paying attention to who buys what at auctions from Christie's or Sotheby's.
Yandex is part of a market with great possibilities and certainly will appeal to the big players.

Have a nice week,

JosÃ©

Re: 2008/06/06/tenantwiz/

José Carrilho — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:46:12 -0000

Hi,

I agree that a good software should be paid for.
Even some of the free public domain software, many times deserves a compensation, which many times can be done by clicking one of those donate buttons.
Of course that I think that sometimes the prices are too high, namely here in Portugal.
Now, the only thing that may put an obstacle on the sales of this product is the monthly fee.
Of course that for those who own houses through all the world and work with companies such as La Perla, that's less than pocket change.
But I believe that in the future they'll have to revise the price policy, for the competition is peeking.

Have a nice weekend,

JosÃ©

Re: The Quest for the Perfect Coffee!

José Carrilho — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:03:23 -0000

Hi,

You can have a good coffee here in Portugal :-)
I don't know if I can mentions brands, but if not, then please modify this comment.
Portuguese brands : Delta (I like the Platina blend)
Sical (now it's owned by Nestlè)
Nicola
Italian brands : I like Mokai (I can't remember how it's spelled).
Mind that's important to have a good machine (Briel is a good portuguese brand), a good grinding and to know how to take a coffee.
Good luck with your request.

Kind regards,

José

Re: Advertising On JohnCow

José Carrilho — Sun, 25 May 2008 20:50:20 -0000

Hi,

I've advertised my website on some blogs, but I can't afford advertising on the top ones, such as this one. Although I find the price quite good.
Maybe when my blog starts to get more visitors, I can earn some money from advertising thus being abble to also advertise on more visible blogs.
I do believe that quality content is the best way to gain readers.

Have a nice week,

José

José Carrilho — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:21:18 -0000

Hi,

Your post focus a true social meaning and not social as getting a big number of visitors; of course that getting lots of visitors is also good.
I guess that blogs may reflect somewhat how people are relating nowadays and lets hope that bloggers may have some power to influence things in this world to make it a better place.

Take care,

José

Re: Yahoo to Double Cash Flow in Three Years

José Carrilho — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:49:28 -0000

Dear readers,

Yahoo was one of the first companies with "name" in this business of the internet. And naturaly it must have made some good money in spite of up and downs. It's just like the major players in the stock market, such as Citi Group, General Electric and 3M. These are what we call barometers and they usually stand through stormy times.
Being a barometer of the internet companies, I believe that Yahoo has a word to say in this competitive market and the know how to adapt itself to new trends and even create them.
I do hope that Yahoo and other companies keep independent to avoid disguised monopoly.

Have a nice Easter,

José Carrilho

Re: Get Your EcoMemory Foam in Las Vegas!

José Carrilho — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:52:48 -0000

Hi,

This reminds me that I need to buy a new matress.
I can't afford buy one of these though.
I got one of those memory foam pillows, but not of "that" well known brand. It's very expensive here in Portugal.
I could buy it from USA, being the dollar so weak these days, but the transport would be too expensive.
There are two important things : a good bed to sleep well and good shoes to walk confortably.

Take care,

Hi,

Being an author of an art related blog, I can say that I write about a niche. It may not be a very searched subject, but I suppose that it doesn't have so much competition.
In this niche, I try to develope a quality content to gain returning visitors.

Hi Myke,

Although not a gothic person, I admire some gothic/fantasy artists for their great skill, namely in terms of draughtmanship. Something so much overlooked in other areas of art.
Congratulations on your achievement.

Hi,

Well, the recent things that have been happening are only but the begining of the consequences of mankind's errors.

Everyone is worried about the recent oil prices when the use of oil should have been deminished many years ago - I wonder what consequences may also bring the continuous oil prospection.

I was recently having a talk with a coleague who told me that the human being is an error; afterall we haven't spotted them anywhere else but here on Earth.

Well...it seems that we're taking care of that error, aren't we ?

Have a nice week,

Re: Renewable Energy Incentives Stalled in Senate

José Carrilho — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:32:43 -0000

Hi,

With all the problems due to the recent oil prices, which we all know part is cause from speculation, the goverments keep putting barriers to the development of alternative energies.

Moreover, the ability of the richest and biggest poluters being abble to by emission quotes, grants them the "right" to continue to ruin our planet.

Now it's the oil, tomorow will be food and water.

Lets see what people will have to say when they won't have water to drink.

Re: Amtrak Finally Gets A Boost in Funding

José Carrilho — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:51:07 -0000

Hi,

In don't know if Amtrak is a public or private company, but I guess it must suffer from the same kind of problems of the portuguese CP.

We all know what the issues are, so there's no point discussing them.

However I believe that the railroad transport has a great future -it's much more developed in USA than in Portugal even considering the obvious differences between both countries - since it's economical (or it can be), doesn't polute much and the material lasts long time.

With all these recent economical problems, maybe people will think twice before using their car instead of the public transports.

Have a great week,

José

Although spending is a must to put things running again, I believe that spending money with new cars isn't probably the best option.
I know that the automotive industry is very important for the USA, but also is agriculture and construction.
My bet would be in the development of new industries to create new jobs and sustainable agriculture.
There must be balance in the economy, or what happened will continue to happen in cycles.

Hi,

We all know that the advertising space on the internet is still quite young when compared to other media. But its possibilities are enormous and the major players will want to grab the lion's share.
I only hope that the competent authorities prevent a disguised monopoly.
I trully to not wish to see things like on futuristic novels/movies, as crowd influence. Something that is probably more near than many of us think.
