While developing websites for our clients, I’m very often being asked to consult on SEO strategy and where to start with it. One of the most popular questions is "What to do with duplicate content? I don’t want Google to penalize me!"

A big break on my blog is going to end. I’m back to blogging. Just wanted to let you know friends. I updated blog’s design a bit and added ‘About me’ section, there you can get some info about me. Also, I’m available now, I do Drupal CMS Website Development starting from an idea finishing with the complete project, feel free to contact me if you’re interested in my services. Okido, nice tutorial will follow soon.

Take care.

Many developers are getting lost when they are setting their hourly development rates. What is a reasonable rate for my work? How much should I get paid to feel myself comfortable?

Well, of course there are average market prices and other things to consider, but here is a basic calculation made from a "how much do I want to get paid" view:

I'm promoting a facebook fan page of my download games website, which gets 7000 uniques per day. Today, the fan page has 205 fans, there were no any promotion of the page on the website.

So, I decided to make an experiment: to put a facebook widget on every game page. In a week or so, I will post an update on how many fans such promotion can bring.

I found a pretty cool addition to Chrome browser. This extension allows users to search drupal.org and the drupal API quickly. You can use "6:keyword" or "7:keyword" to search the drupal API. You can grab it from here: http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1295403
