Remember the days when you had to work in a freezing cubicle, deal with office politics, sit through dozens of boring meetings, and count the minutes until the day was over so that you could sit in gridlock on the commute home? That’s so yesterday!
For entrepreneurs, business owners and managers who use eLance.com, those days are over. I’ve been using eLance for almost eight years, and it’s changed my life.
Outsourcing through eLance has allowed me to start my own businesses online and with a very small budget, and expand at a rate that I could afford. I’ve created three companies [...] read more »

I just love it when I can combine two powerful extensions. I always end up doubling the functionality while halving the effort – and reducing the cost. That’s a win-win-win!
And that’s why as our products evolve, I’m constantly looking for ways to integrate them. Two obvious combinations are the iJoomla News Portal and iJoomla Ad Agency, and iJoomla Ad Agency and iJoomla SideBars.
News portals, which can earn you income by selling advertising next to the content rather than by pushing products, really should be using iJoomla Ad Agency. It makes earning money from advertising very simple and it’s extremely powerful. [...] read more »

When the Internet was young and dotcoms could write their own start-up checks, meta keywords were all the rage. They determined search engine rankings, and the rankings determined income. So they got spammed. Marketers stuffed them with all sorts of irrelevant terms and search engines responded by… well, ignoring them. Google’s Matt Cutts explains in the following video that:
“Our web search disregards keyword meta tags completely. They simply don’t have any effect in our search ranking at present.”
And yet, iJoomla SEO allows you to manage all of your meta tags in one page. If Google doesn’t use them for [...] read more »

You know it’s important to have a blog on your website. Google loves fresh content, and many companies report they get more traffic to their blog than to any other page on their site.
Joomla does have some blogging capabilities built in. You can create a category and a menu item that links to a list of articles in blog format. It’s simple enough, but it’s also missing many of the cool features available for WordPress, the most advanced blogging software available.
So how can you keep your Joomla site and still enjoy all of the benefits of WordPress?
It used to be [...] read more »

Tags: iJoomla Ad Agency, New Features
iJoomla Ad Agency has always been a very strong extension, but we want to make it the perfect advertising solution for any Joomla site. So we’ve added a bunch of new features that we’ve been thinking about for a while, many of them prompted by your emails and feedback on the forum.
We’ve also put a lot of work into the interface.
Because iJoomla Ad Agency is so feature-rich, some users have said that they struggle to find their way around. We’ve tried to make that simpler by adding “grayboxes” to different pages. These allow you to add advertisers and advertisements without [...] read more »

Joomla 1.6 alpha is already here, and the beta version will be released in August 2009.In this presentation Andrew Eddie explains the changes and the new features of Joomla 1.6. Unfortunately, like with the case of Joomla 1.5, this is not going to be a simple upgrade (currently there is no upgrade plan). The good news is that ACL and Nested Categories will be included. We at iJoomla.com, plan to start modifying our extensions to work with Joomla 1.6 within 2-3 months, and hopefully by the time it’s stable, we will be supporting it (no promises though).
Thoughts:
If you’re still working [...] read more »

As promised, guys at the JED (Joomla Extensions Directory) have removed all the commercial (and non-commercial) NON-GPL extensions. This is a big hit for all the commercial developers who spent a lot of time and money developing these extensions, counting on JED to provide the traffic. As we knew this was coming, we’ve created our own directory, listing all the commercial NON-GPL extensions, so that developers can promote them and so that users can find them easily and rate/review them.
So if you need to find a commercial extensions, go to extensions.ijoomla.com, and don’t forget to rate/review extensions you are using!
