I ever wrote about the reason why link should be underlined. Just now I found a website that made me confused while reading their page. As shown on the screenshoot, if you see it on the first sight, you will be confused: which one is link, which one is not?.

You may check it, but do not forget to leave your comments.

Today is 30 April 2008, and it is my birthday Don’t worry I will not request anything to you, instead I offer something to you. Something free, usable and useful and I hope you will like it. It’s a WordPress Themes. I call it 30April, I think you should know why I named it 30April

On this theme, I add theme options to exclude post and page order on the navigation panel. I also add profile description on the theme option.This theme is widgets ready, supports gravatar and author comment style. To make it perfect you will need some plugins, such as Optimal Title, flickrRSS and Get Recent Comments

Go to my 30April download page and if you find something goes wrong just leave a message or contact me directly

Last day I wrote about choosing domain name for your website and hopefully you can decide whether your domain name is for branding or SEO. How about if your brand is new and only a few people know about it? You can promote your brand by using your keyword rich domain name.

Having keyword rich domain name is good for a start up company to look for future costumers available on the net. Instead of promoting your brand (which is not yet famous), you can start building your keyword rich domain for your products website and show your brand there. You get visitors from the search engine, meanwhile your brand will build its image it self.

The company (branding) website can be built at the same time, so you can link it from your products website. Your brand image will be known by people and at that time they can reach your company website by using search engine or just typing yourbrand.com.

Yesterday I purchased a web hosting+domain package and they gave me an extra .info domain for free. I have no problem at all because it is free for the first year. I have about 4 domain names and two of them are active, while the other two is still waiting for the contents. All are in .com and now I have a .info domain.

I am still wondering whether .info domain is good for search engine or not. Cosaaranda said (in Indonesian) that .info domain is difficult to be indexed by search engine. I have no idea how to monetize a .info domain. Right now, my focus is still in my two active domains and no time to write contents for the .info domain.

Do you have any idea about .info domain. Is it good to be monetized or branded?

Please share your experience in using .info domain by commenting below. Any information will be help.

Thank you.

Yesterday I had a conversation with Jauhari about choosing domain name. The domain I pursued is already bought by other and will be expired in 2010 . Therefore I have to find other domain that is meet with my requirements.

SEOMoz has 12 rules to choose the right domain name for your brand new website, here is for the resume:

1. Brainstorm 5 Top Keywords
2. Make the Domain Unique
3. Only Choose Dot-Com Available Domains
4. Make it Easy to Type
5. Make it Easy to Remember
6. Keep the Name as Short as Possible
7. Create and Fulfill Expectations
8. Avoid Copyright Infringement
9. Set Yourself Apart with a Brand
10. Reject Hyphens and Numbers
11. Don’t Follow the Latest Trends
12. Use an Ajax Domain Selection Tool

In the other side Problogger writes about choosing brandable domain name or keyword rich domain name.

Because I do not have much money to pay advertising to promote my brand to get traffics, I decide to use keyword rich domain name to get visitors referred by search engine. The web is still under development. I will do a research after the domain and the website available on the net and share the result with you.

Meanwhile, would you please share your reason on choosing domain name? It will be a nice topic.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, it’s April and I will show you something different in my blogs. If you read my previous April, I released Free WordPress Themes MyApril, a 2 columns and 770px wide Wordpress Theme. I use unique pink colors, nice icon interface and many more.

This April I created new Theme again but it still only for my personal usage. The new theme page is redesigned and rating features is added to let user know the most favorites themes . Back to MyApril, in the end 2007 I made a decision to release some updates of MyApril and the modified theme is named MyApril Reloaded. MyApril Reloaded has 3 columns and more wider layout along with unique colors.

As we all know, JAUHARI.net is using Padangan. Padangan get some respect from bloggers and many of them make customs of my Padangan. I really happy with it. I am not bored with my Padangan. The reason why I switch to April is that I need to refresh my style and make something new on this blogs. And you know that? April is my day, my birthday I hope all of you enjoy my new face and any feedback are always welcome.

The new my April will be released when the time is come. So just wait and keep visiting JAUHARI.net.
