Hattrick – The free online football management game

March 31st 2009

 

Hattrick - jogo gratuito de gestão de futebol

 

Some of you that read my blog often have noticed that I link to a online game called Hattrick. I play this game since February 2004 (more than5 years!). Not always I was into the game and there were periods of time that I was just logging in not to loose my team. This week my team (TeamID=89440 if you play the game) reached the number 45th of ranking of a total of 84 648 teams and 46 851 active users in Portugal. I’m leading one of several division III but hardly I will go up.

My main tips are:

  • Plan ahead, choose a training and stick with it for a while.
  • Train young players (less than 21 years old) and choose the ones that are almost skilling up (compare TSI and salaries of similar players)
  • Disregard the form when you buy a player and. ‘Never’ train general to improve it. If possible buy players with HEAD and QUICK. Do not buy a ‘unpredictible’ player for defense
  • Avoid playing in MOTS and no matter what people say.. 90% of the games you should play in 352 as midfield and ball possession are crucial to win
  • Patience is a virtue… You will randomly loose important games that you deserve to win and it will ruin your season. Don’t give up!

Enjoy! :)

Improve Ranking

March 8th 2009

 

Several people ask me how to improve ranking of their Websites. Often I tend to send them to this Google 101 article. That is what you should have in mind if you are developing a site and want to understand how Google crawls it.

However, when developing it is important that you understand what you should and should not do in order to respect the organic results. Here they are, The Webmaster Guidelines. By following these guidelines, you will help Google to find, index and Rank your Site and avoid unnecessary problems.

Don’t forget your Sitemap and if you want to know more about SEO don’t miss out this article where you can download Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide!

I hope these light articles will help you to understand more about Google WebSearch in particular and SEO.

Have a nice day :)
