Prioritized buttons and links

The new layout have prioritized buttons and links to make it easier to find them. The ‘Visit Directly’ link now shows with the post title while the rest of buttons and links show upon mouse-over. We’ve also made some position changes with these buttons and links to make it less confusing.

More details in a single line

Geegain Blogs Beta2 - Tickers

Tickers on mouse over

We are using Tickers to give you more details of single-lined blog posts. All you have to do is take your mouse over to a single-lined blog post (title) and wait a second. You’ll immediately be displayed a nice ticker with the post’s first few words with it’s image.

Dedicated Feeds

You are more than welcome to use it to distribute your content across the web so Geegain Blogs can track each and every visit, which would come in handy in the future.

First: Page Content, Then: Ads – Geegain Advertising Program’s New Ad Code

Posted on April 1, 2011 by geegain

Note: Today is 1st of April but this is not a joke/prank.

Almost every ad program use JavaScript to deliver ads to publishers. And usually, publishers have to insert the JavaScript ad code to the place that they need ads to be shown. It means, for three ads on your webpage, you have to insert three JS codes. There is a downside of this method. Let us explain it to you.

Webpage

Webpage

Let’s think your webpage looks like the 1st image. As you can see, there are three ads and that means three JS codes. While the browser render the page from top to the bottom, it meet the 1st ad code and the browser pause rendering the page and wait till this JS code downloaded. This usually takes some milliseconds or few seconds. When it is downloaded, the browser continues rendering the page and now, it meet the 2nd ad code and do the above mentioned process, again. It does the same for the 3rd ad code. Eventually, this process slowdown loading your page content and your visitors will have to wait few seconds till ads are loaded, to see the full-page content.

Geegain Accounts has been updated + new features

Posted on March 18, 2011 by geegain
New Sign in form - Geegain Accounts

New Sign in form

It’s been two and a half month since we wrote the last post and today, we’ve updated Geegain Accounts, an important part of Geegain, to let our users use Geegain easier than before.

First of all, we’ve changed the interface of some pages and it includes the Sign in page, Sign up page and the Password change page. We believe that the new look is better than the old one.

For home-users that are using Geegain from their personal computers, it’s awful to sign in every time you access Geegain right? That’s why we add the ‘Keep me signed in’ option which keeps you signed in to Geegain all the time (till you Sign out of course). Great right? It will surely feel you happy. All you have to do is just check the ‘Keep me signed in’ checkbox when you sign in. Continue reading →
