53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn’t Live Without

Posted by Lee on Nov 25 2007 | SEO, User Interface Design, Web 2.0

Thanks to Vinny for this one, I just had to post it almost as is - a great repository of CSS goodies, not to mention the rest the site has to offer:

CSS is important. And it is being used more and more often. Cascading Style Sheets offer many advantages you don’t have in table-layouts - and first of all a strict separation between layout, or design of the page, and the information, presented on the page. Thus the design of pages can be easily changed, just replacing a css-file with another one. Isn’t it great? Well, actualy, it is.

Over the last few years web-developers have written many articles about CSS and developed many useful techniques, which can save you a lot of time - of course, if you are able to find them in time. Below you’ll find a list of techniques we , as web-architects, really couldn’t live without. They are essential and they indeed make our life easier. Let’s take a look at 53 CSS-based techniques you should always have ready to hand if you develop web-sites. - http://www.smashingmagazine.com

South Africa vs. Canada

Posted by Tomas Van den Berckt on Nov 22 2007 | Industry News

eMarketer released a report on the state of online marketing in Canada this month and it made me wonder about the state of the online economy in Clicks2customers’ home country, South Africa. Why? Because a few weeks ago Google arrived in South Africa. This probably doesn’t really impress the seasoned online marketers in more developed […]

Watershed moment

Posted by jonathan.g on Nov 20 2007 | PPC

Picture the scene, New York June 2007, I’m attending the LinkShare Symposium. An advertiser approaches says he has heard good things aboutClicks2Customers. He wants to know whether Clicks2Customers would be interested in working as an affiliate driving paid search traffic to his site; a site that would go on to win a golden […]

Prettier Error Pages.

Posted by Lloyd on Nov 14 2007 | SEO

So many times when I’m surfing the internet, perhaps via a Google search, I come across an ugly looking error page because the page used to exist that was indexed by the search engine. Immediately I push the back button and check out the other search results.
 
Surely it would have been better if they had […]

After the diamond rush

Posted by Tomas Van den Berckt on Nov 13 2007 | PPC

The current trends in the search engine marketing industry resemble the history of the diamond mining industry in South Africa. In the early days, anyone with a shovel could try his luck and start digging. Very much like the boom in affiliate marketing not so very long ago. But as the shallows sands of the […]

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest search engine of them all?

Posted by Kevin on Nov 12 2007 | Industry News, Web 2.0

No one imagined back in 1998 how a tiny start-up would turn out to be a global leader in the search industry in less than a decade! Yahoo must still be feeling like fools for agreeing to put Google’s search box on its home page, giving their users a taste of what was to come. […]

The wonder of synonyms

Posted by Sally.f on Nov 08 2007 | SEO

Ah, copywriting. Who could imagine a better occupation than writing about some of the loveliest hotels in the world? Imagine yourself languishing in elegantly furnished hotel rooms of Victorian Grande Dames set in the lush forests of exotic islands. When I work, I picture endless white beaches that stretch out to eternity, framed by magnificent […]

Where to spend your PPC money

Posted by Tomas Van den Berckt on Nov 07 2007 | Industry News, PPC

Not everyone may like former internet and securities analyst Henry Blodget but generally I find his blog refreshingly honest and independent. Recently Blodget contemplated how long Google’s phenomenal growth could last. After all, it is easier to get to the top than to stay there and Yahoo and Microsoft are showing an […]

The psycho social blundering of the Facebook Race

Posted by Rosie.B on Nov 06 2007 | Online Social Networking

I cannot recall the first time I ever heard the word “Facebook” yet the website has a curious drawing to it hoarding millions of users a day. I like to call it “intrigue”. As an overprotected schoolgirl I would throw myself into chat rooms on sites like Yahoo and correspond with random individuals across the […]

The missing link

Posted by Leila D on Nov 06 2007 | SEO

I was browsing the net today, as you do, and I came across an online marketing company that has link building listed as part of the formula to improve site conversions. This reminded me of the 298537634 (slight exaggeration) articles I have read that say link building is dead.
So who is right? Is the company […]
