One of the best article related on the gallery scripts that you can find over the Internet, thanks to Smashing Magazine .
In other words, that article (link below) it’s a golden mine for webmasters that looks for professional scripts for galleries.
Family photos, vacation snapshots or creative artistic works: whatever images you have to present, you can present them in a variety of ways. On a big screen, in slide shows or in a thumbnails gallery. However, to convey the message of presented data effectively, it’s important to offer it in an attractive and intuitive way. Furthermore, the presentation itself can make images more valuable and simplify the browsing through hundreds of slides.

There are literally hundreds of solutions for web-based galleries out there. They’ve selected 30 scripts of impressive slideshows, lightboxes and galleries you can use for effective presentations of your images. Most of them don’t have any technical requirements, so you can use them right away.

Read full article to know some of the best used galleries and other tricks.

Twenty-eight-year-old Canadian Markus Frind, owner and the only employee of PlentyOfFish.com, has a winner on his hands with his self-designed, simple free online dating site. With 1.2 million active members, the site is one of the busiest dating sites on the Internet

This week The Wall Street Journal featured an article on his site. “A few months back, he posted on his blog a picture of a check from Google for nearly $1 million for a two-month period. Google confirmed the check was for real.” (worth noting that was in CAD.) Markus now reports PlentyofFish is bringing in between $5-$10 million per year.

Perhaps some will doubt the new claims. For those with both feet in the online dating industry right now, these numbers might not only be reasonable but sound a little low.

Markus currently blogs “The Paradigm Shift.” If you missed it the first time, there is an interview from last year right here.

One of the best articles related on that subject found, named Excess pages polluting your website that i’ve read few minutes ago put me in question…
Having many pages,and have weak ranking? How come?
But the owner it’s right. A simple page ranking formula shows that all pages in your website share the same rank… and that means if you have a lot, each page have a WEAK value. Hmm… that’s not good, if you want to get high in the search engine.
I like something that he said, in the top of his article: “Many, many folks who talk about SEO love to parrot the old line, “Content is King”. “. Hehe, seems that’s true… but… they have right? Neah. Quality and not quantity open your doors in the search engine, and their referrals.
His own experiment it’s remarkable. And i’m glad that it was a success. After hiding a lot of forum (yeah, we talk about forums, one of the greatest spam;) ) posts , old, not visited, etc etc… in few weeks… but let’s quote him again “Within two weeks, search engine referrals were up 7,000 per day.“. Eh? What do you think about that?:)
For me, it’s a great lesson. And something to remember. Use quality input for your own benefit, and monitor your website, watch their pulse.
He’s right, give to the people, what’s for the people, and check the market. That way we’ll gain success and benefit:)
Btw, check his blogroll. There’s also a LOT of great articles.
