Personal

The Neutro team just released the project we’ve been working for for several months now: www.airshop.ro.

It’s an Airsoft shop, with guns, pistols and accesories. For those of you who don’t know what Airsoft is, it’s the future of military simulations. Think Paintball multiplied by 10 + military realism.

Read the Airsoft article on Wikipedia, and this video on YouTube (one of the largest game matches in the world: Irene).

Nevertheless, I’m waiting for bugs and problems with the website :)

Congrats team, and thanks Rares (for your ex tenuous work on the PHP) and Alex (for your countless hours of QA on the website).

I just followed a link from a comment in Aaron’s blog, and ended up in Igor Mordkovich’s Bizmord.com blog.

Igor blogs mostly about PPC, because that’s what his expertise is.

From the index, I was just a click away from 17 Most Common PPC Mistakes Web Marketers Make. I read the article top to bottom. It clearly shows that Igor paid a lot of attention when he wrote the article. Almost all the advices he written, are practical ones, although not all are for advanced PPC account managers.

Apart from the fact that if you do not involve yourself in the industry and start commenting on blogs, websites and communities that are related to your field, you won’t get much coverage for your content website (may it be a blog or a news website), from this single, quality, passionate and helpful article Ivan wrote and I read, I’m positive that Igor deserves a link from my blogroll. And I’ll be reading more in the future.

That’s how well written content brings you natural links from quality and related websites.

I once wrote about a lot of Google “secret” features (and part 2), including an ad-free Google search.

Did you know that Ionut Chitu’s Google Operating System blog is the most read Romanian website on the Internet ?

He has even more readers then Darren Rowse:

Matt Cutts:

or Brian Clark:

Congrats Ionut, once again. Seeing that you have been blogging out of passion (and not the desire to make money), and you’ve been doing that for a little over an year, you should receive the award of the year for the best “natural marketing”.

This post’s ideea started from Alex.

Update: I think Ionut is actually in the Top 10 bloggers worldwide, with close to 40K subscribers. I’m not talking about news websites like TechCrunch or GigaOM, but individual blogs, written by only one author.

My future wife, Ramona, just launched her new blog.

She absolutely insisted (and now I will get a spanking because she’s asleep and she doesn’t know), for me not to post what I posted now, because she wants to be read only if the readers want to read her. Well what did you thought girl ? That they will read you because of me ? Well who the heck am I to influence people ? Matt Cutts ? :)

You’re already a star Ramona, in Valcea and not only, so you don’t need me or anyone else :)

Getting back to the point, she will blog mostly about TV, public relations, trips she or we both made, or will make, as well as personal stuff.

PS: She will only write in Romanian, and has already written a few words about her blog and herself.

A little shameless promotion :D

The letter classification images alone, worth the trip :)

What is this 2000 bloggers project ? It was started by a guy named Tino, in his desire to link to all kinds of blogs for free. This could be the future of blogrolls or simply a visual representation of your community.

Maybe a lot of you guys don’t know, but :

Blog tag is just like the game of tag but you share 5 things about yourself, and then tag 5 other bloggers (a type of meme). Jeff Pulver started it, and you can see the history of all the people tagging other people in the blog tag tree.
