2005-10-20 • Adalot's future
I'm pretty busy on two parallel projects, those days, that's why I'm waiting for Adalot to grow itself.
Again, I don't care about millions of visits. I will care about it when it's going to happen.
I have got two BIG PROJECTS, a new one since last time I blogged.
They'll come out in December, and then we'll see what's going to happen to my counter :)
I'm not a "million pixel" man.
I am a web developer, and I'm building the web.
If you are a first time visitor... remember about this name, Adalot.
In 2008 you'll tell your friends about this visit :)
2005-10-09 • News coming soon
Hi folks!
I didn't blog last days, as I'm pretty busy on a pretty interesting project.
At first, I'm building a very special web directory (url still secret).
It's going to be 100% optimized for search engines and to receive abnormous amounts of traffic every day, thanks to common, uncommon and personal techniques.
The nice thing is that Adalot's members will have their elements rotating and being present constantly on the directory.
Ok... enough, you'll see it soon :).
Then, I developed the code for standard elements' rotations over my network. It's 100% automated, and I'll give you samples soon :)
Going to Cinema now. I'll update bLog in 4-5 days. See You!
2005-10-04 • Adalot's first contest winner!
We have a winner!
His name is Carranonan, and he built his dream personal distillery on Adalot.
He still didn't provide us with a link, but we'll build it on Adalot, as we still lacked a factory! (Well... a beer factory, it's a start!).
This is the mighty construction. How many times did I dream to own a personal beer factory?
Very brandable, smooth, funny concept.
Congratulations, Carraronan!
And cheers!
2005-10-01 • Adalot's official inauguration!
Adalot is born!
Long life to Adalot!
I'm so glad :).
Why did I choose this day? Well...
It's my grandmother's birthday. It could sound funny, yeah, but I love her and I wanted this day to represent the two events together. It's just symbolic.
So, happy birthday to grandma as well!
What's my present for Adalot? Oh well... The best gift for a website. I'll open it to the public.
Now, I'll stop *private* advertising, and I will give out the public stats.
They will be drastically low, but I don't care. It's less than 1 week, actually.
Advertisers who didn't believe in Adalot will cry, next year.
What do I mean by "private" advertising? Well... I (manually) wrote lots of invitation letters (and it was nice to get a response by Google's inventors dept., wow!)
Adalot is a town, it's not a million dollar homepage.
Adalot represents a REAL ADVERTISING BOOST, it's not a funny board.
Visit often Adalot and believe in my power :)
You are still in time to join the contest to win 1000$ in Adalot ads! Don't miss it!
2005-09-30 • Adalot's inauguration contest
I decided to promote a pixel-art contest for my lovely town's inauguration.
Take a look at this page, you might find it interesting.
I contacted other advertisers today. Still waiting for many answers, but I love communication.
Some news?
We have a new sign for the mighty Joel Comm, soon I'll enhance roads' graphic, and add general adjustements.
Stats are lazy, but 48h is really not enough. I'm calculating that Adalot will require about three months to catch internet's attention, and it's better this way, so that I'll be able to follow and study its evolution.
And it will discourage copycats, as well.
And... english corrections are always appreciated :)
2005-09-28 • First day report
Not bad. I'm not giving out stats yet, but It's doing great for a first day.
Maybe I worked too much yesterday, more than 12h I guess, but it's an important phase of my project.
And now, let's welcome our first proud builders: Gamershell, with a
10 square palace, is the first pioneer to build on Adalot.
You'll see Gamershell's building popping out soon :) Thanks!
And now, nice news about my extraordinary project.
As I recently anticipated, an Ad-element on Adalot
is not only an Ad and it doesn't only stay on the main Adalot.com pages.
In facts, it will become part a worldwide system.
Let's make the point of the situation: in this period, lots of "pixel advertising" companies came out after Alex: the genius who built
the million dollar homepage.
But Adalot is not this, it's not only different on graphics. It's something enormous.
All over my professional life, I'll be developing and managing hi-traffic quality websites of almost any kind, including an innovative directory project.
I already own a lot of them, and I'll go on with my colonization forever.
And every one of those websites will show Adalot's buildings, sequentially, with panels that might look like this one:
Adalot
Do you understand now what's my strong point?
Look at the sample at my playstation 3 blog: scrolling down the right menu, you'll see how Adalot is going to appear on my pages.
You'll not only have an eternal source of advertisement over Adalot.com pages, but on all of my websites, and it's not all.
As you may have noticed, I'm going to realize quarters in Adalot. And every website in my network will point only to its targeted quarter.
I.E. if I build a website about business, it will only show elements (buildings, etc.) in the business zone.
And they are really going to be clicked :)
Now you may think...
"Doesn' it become useless when Adalot will have too many buildings?".
Yes. That's why I decided that Adalot will have a maximum of 10000 total squares sold.
Then, I'll stop selling buildings... the town will be done, and You'll benefit from it forever.
Is it all?
NO!
The General Quarter (The homepage quarter) will be considered part of ALL QUARTERS.
That's why You should hurry up :)
And keep in mind that all of those services will be included in the one-time fee for your building.
I'm updating Adalot's f.a.q. and about pages with some of those important news.
Stay connected!
2005-09-27 • Finger Crossed
I'm starting advertisement today. I will personally contact the first Adalot advertisers.
Who are them? Oh well. I've been on the internet for a while.
I'll choose ads from other advertisement circuits, starting from the most
original and interesting ones, and contact their owners.
I hope they will at least visit me, but I'm pretty optimist.
Now, I want you to know that I kept Adalot secret until now.
We are still beta, ok, but... I want to have a very strong basis.
I hate spam. I just hope my project will travel around the world by itself,
flying with brilliant mouth-to-mouth web wings.
I established that Adalot, the mighty advertisement town, will be opened to the public October 1th, 2006.
It's official, yes, and you should hurry up :)
2005-09-26 • We are online!
Here we are! I finally ended the setup of my two servers. Adalot is ready for its official Beta Phase.
If all goes on as it should, I will start advertisement tonight or tomorrow in the morning.
I'm going to contact some elite companies to sponsor the launch phase and to build the first excellent extensions in Adalot.
I hope they will help me in bulding this mighty, virtual town before I'm attacked by copycats.
I hate people copying ideas and pretending they are some kind of geniuses.
To be inspired by something is a good thing,
but do always remember (and report) the source.
2005-09-22 • Working Hard
Adalot is not online yet. I'm working hard on the system to choose the best solutions for my future clients.
It's very hard to handle an isometric advertising page, as you have to prevent one construction from hiding another.
And to do so, you can't have two high constructions one next to the other.
That's why I decided that my users will not have control on their ad-buildings position.
I want to create art from ads, and to prevent disorder is a must!
I just introduced the blog as I feel the need to write while the work goes on.
I'm sure it's going to work.
