America demands invention and innovation to succeed, therefore we must act as a whole to continue the reshaping of today’s industry whether it’s offline online. Innovation is the key for success. Never stop innovating. Always develop, re-invent the wheel and reverse engineer.

Whether it is you are running a social network, an e-commerce or a simple WordPress site like Bloginity you are in the market to generating more pageviews. I have figured out a simple arrays that lead a user to browse 6+ pages per session and I spoke about it in my previous article on how to increase pageviews. Among displaying ‘rand’ images, eliminating titles to get the users curiosity to increase CTR there are other tools to help that.

First and foremost your presentation is everything. Keep it clean, don’t have a website that’s overly cluttered like Huffington Post or a design that’s disgusting as Perez Hilton’s site.

Here comes a product of which I wanted to blog about for a really long time. It’s called Nrelate, those who work close with me know how much I respect their work and how much I recommend their plugin for any WordPress lover, so much that I almost wanted to keep Nrelate just for myself and that never happens as I believe in sharing everything I know with all of you.

If you’re a WordPress user you know that there is a fair amount of related-content plugins, such as YARRP, however, what I found about YARRP is that it seriously damages your MySQL, creating huge amount of tables slowing down the entire server completely. Since that’s not an option to consider, we are moving towards other plugins, here comes an attractive package.

Head over to Nrelate.com and give it a try. You won’t regret it. Follow @Nrelate

Here is the perfect explanation of social media:

The guys at Bully Breed Rescue posted this on Facebook 21 hours ago. 730+ shares with donations to the animal hospital.

And here’s an update, 8 hours ago.

If you’re a person who recently got a Social Media job and have no idea what you’re supposed to be doing, you’re at the right place. You’re probably making $30K – $55K/yr in salary but the best part is that you’re being paid to learn your job. You are not a specialist, and you are not a “Social Media Specialist” (yet).

Social Media is just a term for the current on the net. Just like Web 2.0 is. Just a name.

You must ask yourself the question – what is the power of my influence? Am I influential? How do I measure that? Well, you can, in a way.

Tweet a question – is anyone listening to you? Perhaps some will read it, and others timeline will just crowd up with your tweet there, and measure how many response. Those are your best users. List them.

You must use Twitter lists. It’s so important, make a list for all the users that respond to you and start communicating with them on daily basis. Make an effort and read their tweets, socialize with them. You are the brand’s voice now.

I don’t believe in “listening to your clients” I believe in socializing with your clients. VIP style. They are special, they are your new friends, they are within your “power circle.”

Considering Facebook’s messed up timeline algorithm, I don’t even want to get into “why your’re not heard on Facebook”, there are so many symptoms to each page. Starting at, how many interests does a user have to how many of them narrow down after the bajillion filters that Facebook does to make that impression on their time line. Bottom line, too much mathematics and calculations so unless you’re at 25k+ users just test. Post stuff and see what gets an attention (formatting especially).

If you’re having issues with a site not displaying thumbnails/description/title on Facebook share – you can easily debug it here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug.

Here are some you should be using:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Foursquare
• Flickr
• StumbleUpon
• Google+
• LinkedIn
• Tumblr
• WordPress
• Blogger

There are plenty more networks that are niched for your industry (maybe less and maybe more) for example. Instagram is a fantastic community for our friends over at BenTrovatoBlog.com.

You might want to review OnlyWire.com if you’re using several networks at a time and would like to automatically post to plenty at once.

There are so many tips I can share. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @danielhaim and ask away.

‎2012 is here. Like Kendrick says, “I was a black sheep, but now I’m just a goat”. This year, I won’t be following anyone, or trying to be coolcat like others I admired, this year I’ll be a goat. the greatest of all times. Wishing all of you the same, and lots of luck, health, and self-growth. Happy new year and welcome to the future.

By now you all know that Bloginity is growing and expanding as fast as possible. I am a true believer of the web’s development, and there is no time to rest, in order to keep up with the internet you must always push for the maximum innovation.

Here are the latest updates in Bloginity.com.

We have upped our Beauty site, http://www.blogintiy.com/fashion/beauty

Bloginity Beauty

It now offers sidebar:
- “Meet the Editors”
- They now include Follow Buttons
- New archives page design, all based on HTML/CSS

We have upped our Photography section too. Similar changes, this one features an Index widget (A-Z) with a weekly featured photographer. To the right is an A-Z (that we buzz about) magazine index.

Bloginity, Photography Section

Our fashion section has been divided to many categories.

Each one of the following is it’s own landing page, pulling Twitter hash keys and displaying the widgets all with the shows hash keys (e.g. #MFW, #PFW, #LFW, #NYFW).

By City
- New York Fashion Week
- London Fashion Week
- Milan Fashion Week
- Paris Fashion Week

By Season
- Pre Fall 2012 (ranking front page on Bing.com for that keyword too)
- Spring / Summer 2012
- Spring / Summer 2012
- Fall / Winter 2011

Two widgets are found there:

All models (that we write about from A-Z)
All designers, that we write about from A-Z).

It looks like this:

Bloginity - Fashion

Bloginity, New York Fashion Week Page

We have added a new tool in the site, that is basically arrows, positioned on each corner of the (larger) screens, you can easily navigate between articles within the category you are browsing.

Bloginity, Inner Page

What the future holds.. You’ll see :-)

Found these historic screenshots of Bloginity from 2009 or so. Design by Benjamin Tse & I.

FILE - In this 1987 file film publicity image originally released by 20th Century Fox, Charlie Sheen, left, and Michael Douglas are shown in a scene from "Wall Street." (AP Photo/20th Century Fox, File) NO SALES

These past few weeks I’ve been heavily consumed by watching motivational movies for entrepreneurs. I’m interested in consuming information, data, new thoughts, thinking outside of the box and have done some research for “must see movies for entrepreneurs.” One of them, was Wall Street.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from that movie.

“If your enemy is superior, evade him. If angry, irritate him. If equally matched, fight, and if not split and reevaluate.”

“Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.”

“The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”

“What’s worth doing is worth doing for money.”

“The most valuable commodity I know of is information.”

“I look at a hundred deals a day. I pick one.”

“Money’s only something you need in case you don’t die tomorrow…”

“If you’re not inside, you’re outside”

“Jesus, if this guy owned a funeral parlor nobody would die!”

Life is all about relevancy, especially with the web. If you notice, your News Feed on your Facebook profile is either getting shittier or much better. It’s all about relevancy, even the chat box, who you’re engaging, how they rank in order – everything is relevancy. It doesn’t’ matter if you’re running an e-commerce site, or a news site. Relevancy is all that matters to the user. Displaying the right information, is the key of driving engagement.

Over the past few years I’ve gained lots of experience with WordPress, testing plugins, trying out new things, creating my own plugins to create a better site and here goes my statement.

There are many widgets out there that generate related content to articles, such as YARPP. Here’s what’s bad about YARPP – what the end user doesn’t realize is that YARPP plays with your MySQL creating huge databases especially if you have over 3000 articles like we do – it nearly multiplies your database size by a simple installation. That’s not good, not good at all. It slows down the server completely.

Here’s another joke, OutBrain, an Israeli “innovative” company that specializes in relevant content. They have a business model, it’s simple: presenting two boxes, one relevant to your site, one relevant from partners. Many websites are using it such as The Daily Beast, TMZ, iVillage, etc. Here’s the the truth about Outbrain – it doesn’t display relevant content. Many nights I’ve spent staying up and trying to figure out how in gods name an article such as “J WOWW NAKED PICS FROM PLAYBOY”  is relevant to a Van Gogh article on Bloginity.com. I even emailed their team and told them about that – but never heard a reply. Outbrain does not innovate, they do not spend any time re-coding their algorithms, providing additional tools to the publisher such as re-indexing content, excluding certain content from site – there are so many issues with their code that it’s laughable. in 2011 alone we presented Outbrain to over 2,000,000 impressions and made as little as a $100 the funny part is that Outbrain has just raised additional $35M which most likely will go towards marketing, once again, while they actually need to spend that cash on re-thinking their entire code however if that’s what their team was able in producing with so much cash already I wonder if they are even capable of creating anything better. Perhaps that’s the best that they could do.

After publishing this article, I received a tweet from Yaron Galai – founder of Outbrain – here’s the perfect example of a company who “listens” to their users, but doesn’t care about them (read from bottom to top). Just because I’m cut throat, don’t be mad. I was cut throat to the founder of Nrelate, Neil Mody and he spent an entire Saturday with me on the phone, helping me code my own PHP site to make sure that Nrelate displays properly. I haven’t even received an email back from Outbrain’s support about the initial issue, stated above. What do you make of that?

Here’s what I recommend: It’s called Nrelate. it’s a related content plugin that works on WordPress flawlessly. No issues, ever.

Nrelate let’s you do everything everyone else doesn’t and not only that: they actually care about the user. I cannot tell you how many times they’ve helped us out over the weekends, battling code, gosh I mean that’s passion to what you do, they’re helping people get relevant content on the site and they are so passionate about it. Some serious features on Nrelate include:

• Nrelate lets you exclude certain categories from their indexation
• Nrelate lets you re-index your sites content whenever you feel like it by a click of a button
• Nrelate lets you design your own CSS / or choose from a selection of over 5 different layouts (beautifully done!)
• Nrelate also features a fantastic revenue models for sites who are looking to generate additional revenue from displaying partner content.
• Optional to choose between PHP and JavaScript code (Nrelate can actually get indexed in search engines, helping boost your SEO in a dramatic way)

Nrelate, in one word is awesome. I cannot expand my appreciation and how much the team has helped shape Bloginity to what it is today. I just wish that people out there would realize that Nrelate has something so special and even if it’s “competitors”  ever tried coming up with a code similar to theirs they would fail. Outbrain, with all their resources have nothing against them – for years. It’s the only plugin out there that actually displays relevancy and provides you total control. The team is re-writing the code on monthly basis ensuring that they are displaying the best and most relevant content for your user, the team is determined and if they’ll keep on doing this, when the right time strikes – they’re gonna make it big and I’m gonna tell you I told you so. I encourage all of you WordPress users to at least try Nrelate, you will not regret it.

I’ve been guiding several web owners this past few years. With continuos support and help I’m asking nothing back in return besides me learning on how to work with people better, you see – guiding them, helps me guide myself and bring new innovative ideas to the table.

I find myself in late-night Skype conversations that can last for hours sometimes, full of motivations, ideas, and brainstorming and when we are usually done with the conversation there’s a new goal – the question is, will they stick to it?

Here comes the part where you need to take action. It’s all about taking action in this industry. If you’re not taking action your idea sucks (referring to Neil Patel’s #37 on the list)

In Bloginity’s 2010 Business Plan, the first page of the presentation reads a quote, “For tomorrow belongs for the people who prepare for it today.” most of you out there come up with fantastic ideas that end up nowhere. If the idea is so great – deliver it, overnight. Nothing should stop you. My team and I came up with a concept and overnight we brought results to the table, so what if we stayed up for nearly 18 hours and got around 4 hours of sleep for a whole week. We delivered results and that’s what it’s all about, taking actions. You must memorize that, it’s not about what you know, it’s what you do with what you know.

Most of you all don’t realize that one thing – two years ago, Bloginity didn’t exist. Today, it’s a brand.
