A Success Story of PHP As Web App Platform

2010-10-27T12:12:00.001Z

PHP became popular after the release of PHP3 in 1998. The platform’s popularity was a direct result of its ease of use and deployment. However, this ease of use attracted mostly amateur programmers, those who did not bother to read and study CGI or HTTP standards. Most PHP-based websites of that time had unstructured code with HTML and PHP interlacing in a number of fragment files. SQL injections, XSS vulnerabilities were also a common occurrence, while scalability, reliability, and other performance metrics were out of scope of PHP 3 development.

Even when object-oriented programming became supported by PHP 4, most PHP developers did not change their approach to development. Yet, one great thing PHP 4 did is that its new Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) features attracted more experienced software developers, which triggered the adoption of a number of popular object-oriented best practices.

Six Myths about Nulled Scripts, or There’s No Such Thing as Free Lunch

2010-04-30T06:52:00.002Z

Once every so often our customers are asking us how come on some websites our classified software is sold at a fraction of price or is even free. They further ask how come they have to pay for the software if they can download it for free. Those questions are legitimate and deserve a separate article below.

Most of you have already seen popular software brands and packages available on certain websites such as Germany-based Rapidshare and the likes. The software is offered free of charge or for a nominal price with the labels “Nulled” or “Software Name + keygen”, etc. This essentially means that the software anti-piracy mechanisms have been illegally tampered with or re-engineered. This is a common plague that the entire software industry is suffering from to a certain degree, and the more popular the software becomes, the more frequently its defenses are being tested (sometimes successfully).

Many potential customers share one or more of the six common myths about the use of nulled scripts. Let us take a closer look at those myths...

Catch Buyers Attention And Drive On-Line Sales At Classified Ads Site

2010-03-23T05:58:00.003Z

Too often I am asked the question by people who are selling online via classified ads sites, “why items at equal prices from the same site are selling differently”? For example, two online sellers offer cell phones. Of course, good technical parameters and low price are what potential buyers look for. In our case, the cell phones have the same technical parameters and the sellers set the equal prices. But how to explain the situation when one seller has a lot of sales and another hasn’t sold them at all?

Creating an attractive listing at a classifieds website with good visual effects is critical to the success of getting your item sold. It is a vital step in the selling process. The purchase starts when your product attracts your client's attention. Your potential buyers can not view or touch your products in reality. They are trying to compose their opinion only according to the product visuals.

Exchanging Credits for Ads: The Art of Monetizing Your Website

2010-03-02T07:04:00.002Z

Searching Google, a phrase “Credit cards are nearly universal” caught my attention. Yep, fully agree with the fact that the Internet would never be the same if it wasn’t for credit cards. Internet payment sprang a wider use of credit cards, which in turn helped finance the development of e-businesses, including shopping portals like Ebay, pushing e-commerce to a whole new level.

For every single benefit on-site credit card payment processing brings along, Internet security experts will happily name threats that dramatically reduce or eliminate such benefits, scaring the heck out of website owners. For websites with paid memberships and paid services, when credit cards are being used more than once or on a regular basis, security threats become even more acute. Is there an alternative that will eliminate many, if not all, the risks?

Detailed description of every tour on static pages, with a summary of the offers for every country also on a static page with links to individual descriptions. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Each listing displays essential field data: price, starting date, ending date, countries visited, a colorful slide show of places of interest, detailed description with an itinerary, and the ability to book the tour by sending a reservation request (event calendar). Summary of all the offers by continents, countries and regions worldwide can be presented at the front page.

2009-11-18T08:56:00.004Z

After several months of development, we are proud to release our long awaited totally redesigned corporate website. This redesigned website provides more detailed information about our company activity and services, and features in-depth information about our classifieds products: iRealty, iAuto and iLIster. So why did we decide to make the changes and what did we do to improve the site?We created our classifieds products from scratch. It was a long way from simple PHP script to sophisticated yet easy-to-use classifieds engine capable to run large classifieds portals. Our old product sites grew up with the products step by step, from enhancement to enhancement. And one day we realized that our old product sites cannot serve the needs of our top-notched products and it does not reflect our organisation’s current market position. We know that we have to evolve to ensure we can deliver what customers need today. A web site redesign was a great opportunity to evaluate where we are today and where we want to be in the future.

At the beginning of the redesign we outlined the main purposes of the site as follows:

Enhance customer perception of our classifieds products and WorksForWeb services

Ensure an online presence in the face of similar moves by competitors

Provide customers with the ability to view the product demo on-line

Provide an opportunity to inform people about classifieds scripts in which they may be interested, thus enhancing customer service and increasing sales.

Several months of hard work of designers and developers allow us to present you our new redesigned site. So what’s the value?

We tried to make the web site well presented and provide it a professional appearance. Now the site appears to contain most of the information a customer would require. We use the language and visual cues in a manner that is both internally consistent and consistent with general practice, so our customers do not have to learn any new techniques in order to use the site successfully.

One of the most important challenges was the necessity to consolidate four sites in one (three products sites and one company site) and retain the navigation through the site clear and user-friendly. We worked hard to design 4-level menu. The 1-st level menu presents our company, products and services, the 2-nd level menu navigates you through the scripts and addons available. The 3-d level menu guides you through the information about each product: iAuto, iRealty and iLister, product features, portfolio, demos, documentation, etc. And finally the 4-th level menu (it’s displayed in the right block of the site unlike the previous three menu levels which are located under the site header) invites you to look deeper into the detailed info about product editions and detailed functionality descriptions. If necessary, a site map is available.

We designed the site with our valued customers in mind so we did our best to provide all necessary means of communication. We encourage you to contact us through the contact forms specially designed for pre-sales questions, submitting testimonials and feature requests and general suggestions, besides you can call us or chat via Skype.

We created the site with love and desire to make your surfing through our site and searching for the information smooth and problemless. Our designers tried to make the site attractive and pleasant to look at. You are our most severe judges and the best usability consultants. We are eager to listen to your opinion about our efforts regarding the site redesign. We would like to offer you to fill in a short survey on the site redesign. Your feedback is highly appreciated!

How to write a good success story: CARP - Model

2009-10-28T08:56:00.005Z

Author: Natalie Kozlova

We live in the world where people are mostly skeptical and need a good reason to listen to you, or choose your product or use your services. Previously we discussed the reasons for writing success stories and today we will learn how to write a success story that makes people believe.

There are a lot of ways to write an interesting and persuasive story and you can easily google them. Today we offer you the CARP-model for wring success stories, the model which is easy to understand and follow and flexible enough to be changed giving you much space for self-expression. Finally it’s quite effective.

The structure consists of four parts:

1. Challenge

2. Action

3. Result

4. Perspective

We call this structure CARP-model. it’s easy to remember even if you are not a fishing lover, isn’t it?

So the CARP-model provides you with the structure for your success story. Let’s dive deeper into the details.

Challenge

The main purpose is to make readers identify with the challenge.

Who had the challenge? Who cares?

What problem, issue or concern needed addressing?

Why was it important?

What was the cost of addressing or not addressing it

Action

The main purpose is to demonstrate how you responded to the challenge and how our product and services can impact the business challenge.

What did you do to address your challenge?

How big was the project? Include inputs (staff, funding, volunteers, research, expertise) and outputs - activities (teaching, facilitation, product development and people (number of people and demographics).

Which product or services by WorksForWeb did you use?

How did our products and services help?

Why do you choose this product?

Result

The main purpose is to show that the benefits are real, quantifiable and compelling

What resulted? Use quantitative and qualitative data to describe important outcomes (changes and benefits) achieved as a result of the actions described earlier.

Who benefited and how? Help the reader understand the meaning behind the change.

Describe the benefits you achieved (including benefits like increased customer satisfaction or reduced stuff turnover) in most-important-to-least-important order.

Perspective

The main purpose is to show that achieved excellent results are the part of continuous growth and you are full of plans and perspectives.

What is the perspective for the future?

Is there a next stage that you now plan to implement?

How do you plan to change your business in future?

What are your goals and intentions?

You just need to follow the CARP-model and it will keep you from becoming confused while writing your success story. Answer all questions and you will get well-structured and clear success story.

And some more tips:

· Don’t forget about the appealing lead to the story

· Use attractive pictures

· Proofread the text

· Use active vs. passive voice

· Read it aloud before submitting somewhere

· If the story seems too long, delete one or more of the least important facts from the story .

· Try to follow the classic structure for writing a success story: Problem and Solution, Before and After, Then and Now.

· Focus on the reader's interest (usually in terms of how clients benefit).

Good fishing!

Marketing Tips: Providing The Competitive Advantage Through Writing Success Stories

2009-10-15T07:43:00.005Z

Just imagine that your classifieds site is one of the most successful in the on-line classifieds industry, but no one knows about this fact. The both sides - you and your prospect clients - suffer. You are not properly rewarded for your efforts because nobody knows about your excellence and your clients don’t know what good services are available for them to use and how they can be benefitted.

You should do something to make the public to get to know about your accomplishments. How?

We’ve got the answer! Write a success story! Success story, case study, customer testimonial - whatever you call them they are a valuable sales and marketing tool, as their main goal is to impact public and make them visit your site and use your products or services. Almost everybody loves to read about success stories. They are always about a challenge, new experience and looking for solutions.

What Is a Success Story?

In general, success story is an example of a successful practice when a company has achieved documented successful results. Success stories can be as short as 3-4 paragraphs or as long as 20 pages. It can be distributed in print, as PDFs, in the company newsletter, it also can be posted on the Web site, distributed at conferences, packaged and tailored to particular audiences for customer meetings, and sent in direct mail packages.

Why to write success stories?

· To give your readers an example of real successful project. Examples will help to understand difficult concepts and complex business issues. And solutions that can solve the issues.

· To generate empathy to enable readers to empathize with the challenge that you faced in the success story, in case your readers face a similar problem. The goal is make readers to closely identify with the author of the relevant success story.

· To add credibility. People believe success stories because such case studies usually relate a factual situations, besides they are full of real facts. A good success story full with facts and figures can also demonstrate ROI (if the documentation of a return on investment is possible).

· To share your ideas and to learn what works and what doesn’t work.

· To let the public know that you do good work that positively impacts the lives of people

Anyway writing a success story about your business can not only provide the competitive advantage that your business need, but give you additional reason to be proud of yourself which is also important for a successful businessman like you.

Learning SEO: Social Bookmarking For Your Site

2009-07-17T04:47:00.002Z

Social bookmarking is an activity performed over a computer network that allows users to save and categorize a personal collection of bookmarks and share them with others. Users may also take bookmarks saved by others and add them to their own collection, as well as to subscribe to the lists of others. It's a tool for personal knowledge management (Wikipedia.org).

In other words, social bookmarking involves saving bookmarks (web addresses) to a public Web site so you can access these bookmarks from any computer connected to the web. Having your site bookmarked in a number of popular social bookmarking sites you drive more traffic to the content at your site. So if you create a piece of content and title it with the keyword phrase you need, you will get a free external link with the required anchor text.

If you wish to create your own social bookmarks, you must register with a social bookmarking site. The part that takes the longest is probably setting up an account for each site, which includes email confirmations. But remember, no pain, no gain, right?

What you need to continue:

- keyword-rich content that provides value at the page of your site
- an appealing title with selected keywords within the title
- time to monitor your accounts at social bookmarking sites
- regular analysis of how long each link pops up in search engines. At some point you will reach a place where you are no longer drawing significant traffic from your older bookmarks, but that’s OK.

Beware of spamming these sites and making your list of bookmarks appear unattractive or an obvious marketing ploy which will net you very little. The biggest problem with this method is time and the relative effectiveness of the links. You have to make sure the content is good and the title passes spam detection else it will simply be deleted. Don’t abuse this by submitting every page of your site, try to be judicious and think about what pages of your site may be helpful and of interest to other web surfers.

There is an opinion that social bookmarking has limited appeal for a SEO professional. The reason is that you cannot count on it to increase site rankings directly, but indirectly it can increase awareness which may eventually provide additional natural linking. Besides many social bookmarking sites do not allow crawlers to follow links, thus the links do not help the page rank. However social bookmarking is still one of the cheapest and the most effective ways to get sites deep crawled and indexed and attract more visitors.

Even if you are not going to base the SEO campaign for your site on this technique it should be in your SEO toolbox of tasks anyway. And don’t’ forget that having great page content accurate meta tags with a solid web design combined with quality links from other pages of similar content contribute best to the end users experience.

In response to customer demand and recently collected feature requests, iAuto v.4.5.0, iRealty v.4.6.0 and iLister v.4.5.0 now include a host of serious improvements in usability, functionality and performance dictated by the advanced industry standards and requirements.

The listing comparison mechanism is introduced in the latest software release. It provides advanced field-by-field comparison algorithms for multiple listings. Unlike some of the industry's market leader portals, all WFW product-based websites now offer unlimited listing comparison capability. Users browsing listings in one category can simply click the “Compare Ad” button and all pre-selected listings will be displayed in the Comparison Results table. Users can also remove some listings from the table to focus closer on the ones that best match the request. Now the eternal problem of choosing among similar products is elegantly resolved in a couple of mouse clicks.

Among the newly added features there is one that performs import and export of user data in both CSV and XLS formats. Those formats are the most typical and widely-used user account formats. This feature is instrumental for backing up and sharing of the customer account base with third party applications (internal corporate db, newsletter scripts, billing software) fast, easily and conveniently.

The latest release also features CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) protection added to block form submissions from spam bots and prevent abuse. Ad ranking system, a great social networking tool, is a great tool to encourage customer participation and sharing of experience.

Now images uploaded to listings on websites powered by WorksForWeb classifieds software can be copyright protected with watermarks. As a site administrator, you can easily add a custom watermark (image or text) to be automatically merged with all images uploaded by your users. As TechFAQ.com points out, using watermarks for copyright protection and security reasons is equally beneficial to the Web site owners as using watermarks as a marketing/branding tool for additional exposure.

In addition to the above features, the new release of iAuto, iRealty and iLister classifieds solutions includes a number of enhancements such as indicators of the max number of symbols allowed for text input fields, and a new and greatly improved availability calendar interface.
You are welcome to find more information on the changes and improvements implemented to iAuto, iRealty, and iLIster on the official WFW website at www.worksforweb.com. Alternatively, you can contact, email or chat with our Sales Team. Please send your requests to sales@iautosoftware.com , sales@irealtysoft.com and sales@ilistersoft.com and we'll be happy to address your inquiries.

Can't Believe We Haven't Updated For So Long

2007-02-08T11:28:00.000Z

It's very hard to believe all that time passed and we never bothered to update the blog. Horrible! The fact that we've been pretty busy is not a good excuse. We will try to be more consistent posting new stuff here.

We'll try to give you a brief overview of what's been accomplished so far. We are constantly working on improving the quality of iAuto and iRealty. We are improving our internal development processes: work flow management, project and task planning, coding, testing, and control.

We have made substantial product improvements that will appear in the new version of the software to make iAuto and iRealty more reliable, robust, flexible and smart. We've also added several smaller features that improve the overall functionality of the software and make it more usable and powerful.

Our iAuto/iRealty community is growing, and the forum is slowly becoming a focal point where information about updates, fixes, tweaks and bugs is gathered and made available to those who need it.

We've been engaged in several bigger projects where iAuto/iRealty were used as the platform for custom solutions and even developed a totally independent solution from scratch. We will announce one of the projects shortly when it goes live with the permission of the owners.

This should be it for now, we'll be keeping you informed as we go along.

iRealty Release Postponed to 3 Oct

2006-09-28T11:11:00.000Z

I am very sorry to announce that we're shifting the release date a little bit towards the beginning of the next week due to a number of small issues.

However, this release will contain an extra bonus feature that is well-worth the wait, so again, sorry for the delay, we'll do better, promise.

New iRealty release, v.3.0, is coming soon

2006-09-18T06:11:00.000Z

We are progressing towards the end of the current product development cycle and are expecting to issue a final release of our new version, v. 3.0, at or around Monday 25 Sept.

We are going to make an announcement on our website and we will send the new release announcements to those who have previously inquired about the new release. The new version is going to have a new Smarty template system that will allow users to modify the look of the website much quicker and easier, as well as provide greater flexibility in terms of applying own or custom design templates to the actual software.

Of course, many bugs and minor system improvements accumulated since the last version's release have also been included in the software, improving the overall stability of the system.

iRealtorsolutions.com Moves to iRealtysoft.com

2006-08-23T11:35:00.000Z

It's been a while since we last posted into this blog, although there has definitely been a lot to write about.

First, we've added a few great functions into the software code. For instance, we enabled batch processing of ads/listings by the admin, changed the visual appearance of listing details and options and implemented the long-requested presentation of the listing options. Now, the system just lists options instead of giving an annoying "yes/no" status for each option.

Second, we've fixed some English language issues, i.e. capitalizations, certain system messages, etc. We'll continue on with this work and will have many, if not all, those errors fixed in the new release.

Third, we're changing the name of our old product, iRealtor, to iRealty. There are a few reasons why we're re-branding the software, most are marketing-related. We're dropping iRealtor and are replacing it with iRealty. The products will not be different in their functionality, and any users of iRealtor that purchased the original software are eligible for the upgrades branded under iRealty.

Then, we're moving from the iRealtorSolutions.com website to iRealtySoft.com, finally. That ugly website we had, iRealtorsolutions.com, was initially intended to be a temporary fix. However, there are few things in the world that are more permanent than the temporary fixes.

Anyway, we've taken our time to develop a TOR and request a new design. Once the new design was finalized, we started our work to implement a new, dynamic website instead of the static one we currently have. In the next few days you'll hopefully see the fruits of our labor online, and the new website should be better anyway, or at least we hope so.

Last, but not least, we are introducing new product, iRealty Special Edition. Priced at only $219, it contains all the functionality of the Standard Edition, but the only change is that it offers no free services except for free installation. Buyers will be able to order any perks such as template customization and support separately. Those who read our blog can be the first ones to order iRealty Special Edition by contacting our Sales Dept.

v.3.0 Release Update

2006-08-23T11:27:00.000Z

It seems that in order for us to preserve the quality of the product development process outputs, we need to push back the release date from 6 Sep '06 to 25 Sep '06.

Even though we do not like these developments, we feel that compromising the quality to meet the deadline is not an option. Based on the XP philosophy we're implementing now for the development process, the quality must not be sacrificed, and reduced functionality and timeline extensions are the only viable alternatives our team has.

Membership Plans in iRealty

2006-08-08T09:27:00.000Z

We've had a meeting to discuss the future of the membership plan system to be implemented in the upcoming releases. We've reviewed the membership plan options and variations that are requested by our current and potential clients.

The new functionality will give the webmasters additional flexibility as far as making money off the real estate classified listing websites generated by iRealty. We'll keep you posted on the progress.

iRealty Uses Smarty

2006-08-02T03:31:00.000Z

The next release of iRealty, scheduled for September '06, will present a totally refactored version of the iRealty software. The software will have a new template system based on Smarty "template/presentation framework" (quoted from here), which will allow users to easily change the look and feel of the software, incorporate their own templates and integrate the software into the existing websites.

Just as a reminder, all buyers of iRealtor/iRealty are eligible for free lifetime upgrades of the product, so make sure you visit our blog and website for news and status updates of the product development process.
