I am currently working on a promotion to help market my classifieds website at www.classifieds.nzcreativewebdesign.com.  As part of this promotion I am requesting any constructive feedback from anyone who visits the site, and who is interested in placing an advert there. More details about this are here:

Some pointers to think about when providing feedback:

• What was your experience like from using my site?
• Have you received much traffic from this site?
• What do you like about the site?
• What don’t you like about the site?
• Would you recommend this site to a friend?
• What changes should I make to the site, if any?
• And any other topics…

I am also working on promoting free featured listings for people that place an advert on this site. This is how I am intending it to work (feel free to add suggestions):

1. Someone visits the site and decides to place a classified. They choose a relevant category, and submit the advert.
2. They then set the run time of the advert to 30 days, which is the maximum for free ads.
3. They then email me saying they would like to take up the offer of placing a free featured ad. In order for them to get their ad promoted as a free, permanent ad, they must be able to do the following:

• Submit my other website (www.sfimarketing.info) to at least 50 social networks, and produce a report or file with links to each social network page where the site is listed.
• Submit the above website to at least 100 directories, and be able to produce a report showing where each submission was successfully made (FFA’s do not count).
• Place my banner somewhere easily visible to the public on their website (I will supply the HTML code for you), and keep it on their website for minimum 3 months (I will check regularly!).
• Or tell me your proposal and I will consider it and get back to you.

Also, if you are a paying customer from my freelance web design site at www.nzcreativewebdesign.com you will automatically get a free, permanent listing, not just on this site, but also my directory at www.directory.nzcreativewebdesign.com, a small graphic on my pixel advertising page at www.milliondollarpixelpage.info, and also free submission to 50 directories and 100 search engines.

Also, if you are interested in earning some spare cash and sign up through my gateway site at www.sfimarketing.info (and maintain an active membership), you will get a free ad placement and submissions as above!

If you don’t have the time to do these things you are most welcome to pay the USD$5 it costs for a featured ad

If you would like free advertising on this website, you will need to contact me with a proposal of what you would do for this. Examples are, but are not limited to, include:

• Submitting the site to an agreed number of social networks
• Backlinking with websites that have a Page Rank greater than 4
• Submitting the site to an agreed number of directories

Just would like to apologise for the lack of communication I have done with this blog. The holidays have been very hectic, with having two family Christmases and this being the first Christmas being a father. I will be posting useful content on here as I find it and will do my best to keep this blog up to date. I have also returned to a business opportunity that I was doing a year ago, as the opportunity has included better features to enable people to start earning a good income online. I will put a post about them today if you are curious…

Please Note:

As this site is about a product relating to men’s personal health, and contains words you may be offended by, you proceed at your own caution, hence this site is best suited for mature audiences aged 18 and over. This site, however, contains absolutely no pornographic imagery or content whatsoever.

A bitmap corresponds bit-for-bit with an image displayed on a screen, generally in the same format used for storage in the display’s video memory, or maybe as a device-independent bitmap. A bitmap is technically characterized by the width and height of the image in pixels and by the number of bits per pixel (a color depth, which determines the number of colors it can represent).

The printing and prepress industries know raster graphics as contones (from “continuous tones”) and refer to vector graphics as “line work”.

Raster graphics are resolution dependent. They cannot scale up to an arbitrary resolution without loss of apparent quality. This property contrasts with the capabilities of vector graphics, which easily scale up to the quality of the device rendering them. Raster graphics deal more practically than vector graphics with photographs and photo-realistic images, while vector graphics often serve better for typesetting or for graphic design. Modern computer-monitors typically display about 72 to 130 pixels per inch (PPI), and some modern consumer printers can resolve 2400 dots per inch (DPI) or more; determining the most appropriate image resolution for a given printer-resolution can pose difficulties, since printed output may have a greater level of detail than a viewer can discern on a monitor. Typically, a resolution of 150 to 300 pixel per inch works well for 4-color process (CMYK) printing.

Examples of file formats used with Bitmap Graphics are:

Bitmap
A bitmap or pixmap is pixel data storage structure employed by the majority of raster graphics file formats such as PNG.

OpenRaster
OpenRaster is a file format being developed under the auspices of the Create Project to give free software graphics editors a common raster graphics interchange format, that maintains as much of the working information that the applications use.

.ico
ICO file format is an image file format for icons in Microsoft Windows. .ico files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths.

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics.

Vector graphics formats are complementary to raster graphics, which is the representation of images as an array of pixels, as it is typically used for the representation of photographic images. There are instances when working with vector tools and formats is the best practice, and instances when working with raster tools and formats is the best practice. There are times when both formats come together. An understanding of the advantages and limitations of each technology and the relationship between them is most likely to result in efficient and effective use of tools.

Computer displays are made up from grids of small rectangular cells called pixels. The picture is built up from these cells. The smaller and closer the cells are together, the better the quality of the image, but the bigger the file needed to store the data. If the number of pixels is kept constant, the size of each pixel will grow and the image becomes grainy (pixellated) when magnified, as the resolution of the eye enables it to pick out individual pixels.

Vector graphics files store the lines, shapes and colours that make up an image as mathematical formulae. A vector graphics program uses these mathematical formulae to construct the screen image, building the best quality image possible, given the screen resolution. The mathematical formulae determine where the dots that make up the image should be placed for the best results when displaying the image. Since these formulae can produce an image scalable to any size and detail, the quality of the image is only determined by the resolution of the display, and the file size of vector data generating the image stays the same. Printing the image to paper will usually give a sharper, higher resolution output than printing it to the screen but can use exactly the same vector data file.

Vector art is key for printing. Since the art is made from a series of mathematical curves it will print very crisply even when resized. For instance, one can print a vector logo on a small sheet of copy paper, and then enlarge the same vector logo to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality. A low-resolution raster graphic would blur or pixelate excessively if it were enlarged from business card size to billboard size.

If we regard typographic characters as images, then the same considerations that we have made for graphics apply even to composition of written text for printing (typesetting). Older character sets were stored as bitmaps, therefore to achieve maximum print quality they had to be used at a given resolution only; these font formats are said to be non-scalable. High quality typography is nowadays based on character drawings (fonts) which are typically stored as vector graphics, and as such are scalable to any size. Examples of these vector formats for characters are Postscript fonts and TrueType fonts.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.

The acronym “SEO” can refer to “search engine optimizers,” a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term “search engine friendly” may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.

Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms, keyword stuffing and article spinning that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.
