Fav20 perfect homepage for IE users

It has proven that visual bookmarking and startup homepage can be really useful and save you a lot of time.

Firefox has FastDial, Opera has Speed Dial, but Internet Explorer doesn’t have any plugin for visual bookmarking. The biggest advantages fav20 has to this plugins are:

  • no installation required (not even user registration)
  • can access your favorites anywhere you go (just add sites to your account)

I recommend trying fav20 as your homepage and see if you get used to it.

To set your HomePage in Internet Explorer: TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS-> http://www.fav20.com on the homepage field. (you may need to press ALT in IE7 to show up the TOOLS menu).

Memo-uri electronice – aparitie in Romania Libera

Romania Libera a facut un review la ce s-a intamplat la Webstock, scriind si despre fav20.

Memo-uri electronice
Pe langa adresele de web vizitate zilnic exista in lumea online milioane de alte site-uri pe care le accesam intamplator, ne plac, ne inspira, insa uitam cum sa ajungem inapoi la ele. www.fav20.ro este un instrument care permite utilizatorului sa isi faca o baza cu site-urile vizitate pentru a le putea accesa usor si a le avea oriunde, folosind site-ul ca homepage al browserului. Avantajul principal al utilizarii acestui instrument este faptul ca nu mai trebuie sa memoram site-urile cu care lucram. 
Adresele dorite vor fi regasite pe orice calculator, indiferent de browser-ul folosit. Astfel, chiar daca Fav 2.0 nu necesita un cont pentru a-si face treaba (utilizatorului fiindu-i permis sa il testeze mai mult timp fara a-si crea un cont), pentru siguranta si pentru a avea site-urile preferate pe orice calculator, isi poate face unul si sa transfere adresele salvate deja in cont.

Social bookmark widget ?

Promoting through social bookmarking sites is FREE (of money) but can take up some time. I have used some social bookmark widget before on fav20, people voted, I got to 52 saves on del.icio.us, and some talk on stumble, but not too many visitors from those sites.

I added today addtoany widget on the footer so you can easily save and share fav20. Happy saving.

PageRank Update 27 September 2008

I invite you to check your website PageRank because today, 27 september 2008, I see that Google has updated the Pagerank. If you did a good job bringing good quality backlinks to your website, you got a good PageRank.

Fav20 got PageRank 5, it is nice but for me it doesn’t help because I do not use SEO to drive visitors to my site. 

You can check your PageRank pretty fast with ipagerank.org . If any of you is really happy and needs to share what PageRank you got, please leave a comment.
