Marketing & Monetize Blog

Today is a happy day for some of the romanian people which were interested in opening a PayPal account because today PayPal has included Romania on their accepted countries list.

This is very important for all the romanians who earn or spend money online. PayPal in Romania is a very good step in the internet marketing for our country, but for the moment we are allowed only to send money from PayPal accounts and we hope that they will implement their system fast in Romania so we can also receive and withdraw funds.

Anyway with all my happynes when I was signing up at PayPal I couldn’t miss out a huge mistake that they did with our romanian flag, PayPal placed the flag from 1989 for Romania, that flag is from former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu’s time and has been changed 18 years ago.

I must say that PayPal made a good job for opening their doors to Romania but they sure made a big mistake with our flag, let’s just hope they will change it very fast.

I found this site today and I really liked their offers, their organization and the things you can learn from them. It actually represents the Brooks Institute of Photography, http://www.brooks.edu.

Brooks Institute is created for anyone who aspires to a career in photography, filmmaking or graphic design, their admissions are opened for novices who just like photography and want to learn more about this art and make a career and also for advanced and experimented photographers that want to improve their skills, increase their knowledges and make a career in photography, visual journalism or film and video production.

I don’t know if you like it or not but I find myself really inspired by their motto: “learning by doing”, I mean if you follow these words you can achieve a lot good things and here I am not talking only about photography and other visual arts.

In my opinion this is a good principle to follow the in webmasters world or even in internet marketing world.

These days I’ve been looking for a free US phone number provider, I needed a US number for some of my services and for other good reasons. I have found a lot of sites, some of them offering this service for free. What I was looking is a service that can redirect the US phone number to my mobile phone in Romania, but those services are quite expensive and I cannot afford this right now.

On the other side I found a good service provided by AIM allows you to create a free US phone number and answer your calls on your computer, you only need to download their latest software and talk.

The phone number is activated instantly and you also have a nice voice mail service, all this for free. I really liked that you can select in what area and even what city you want your phone number.

If you ever need a service like that I suggest you use AIM Phone Line, is free, activated instantly and if you also want to make calls it will cost 15$ / month for unlimited calls to US and Canada.

MyBlogLog is looking for a dedicated person who is willing to help other people, resolve disputes and maybe be a apart of MyBlogLog developing team by bringing new ideas to their online community.

I would apply for this job but I am not even in the United States not to mention that they are looking for someone close to Bay Area.

If you received numerous e-mails today from “e-gold” with the subject “e-gold accounts investigations” like I did be aware that those e-mails are spam asking you to go to a page that is not owned by e-gold.com

The page that I am talking about is similar to e-gold login page and when you try to login the spammers receive your e-gold number and password and is possible to steal your money.

Checkout the link included in the e-mail, I am pretty sure that is not e-gold.com:

BTW do you like my drawing ? Anyway be careful !

The owners of Wikipedia considered that is time for the next step, they launched Wikiseek.com their own search engine.

How they like to say A better way to search Wikipedia, Wikiseek utilizes Searchme’s category technology, providing suggested search refinements based on what users tagged and catogrized in Wikipedia, making results more relevant than conventional search engines.

In fact their search is based only on Wikipedia pages and links which are referenced within Wikipedia. SearchMe claims that the new search engine is “an authoritative source of information less subject to spam and SEO schemes”.

Wikiseek has two important features, first it can be used for easier search on Wikipedia and the second is that it will return only very high quality results and very little spam. They have also some extra features that other search engine don’t have, for example a tag cloud which contains Wikipedia categories containing the search term and results can be quickly filtered by clicking on one of those categories.

The search engine is also providing some tools that will help users get the best out of Wikipedia and WikiSeek:

If you use IE7, Firefox 1.5+, or Mozilla/Netscape 6+, you can add Wikiseek Search to your Toolbar.

If you use Firefox you can install the Wikiseek Search Extension to add Wikiseek to the search form inside all Wikipedia pages.
