We have finished the development of the new WackWall feature - it is the News section. All administrators or new social network creators at WackWall.com can post news on their networks by ticking off blog posts.
How to use this new feature:
Go to your network administration area -> Features layout -> Drag and drop “Site News” from the column “Add features” to your homepage -> click the button “Save changes”.
Then go to your main page and select the option to write a blog post. In the interface for writing a blog post you will see a check box “Mark as News” tick it off and your blog post will appear in the News section.
Share your thoughts about this new addition.

Why do you need relevant ads? The answer is that you get a target group of visitors who will more likely to respond to advertisements on a specific theme. To run advertisements on your web site is an art of strategy. You need to choose what ads you want to show to your visitors on your web site then think about the advantages and count the cost.
Let’s start with pay-per-click advertisements (PPC).
There are different companies which offer pay-per-click ads the most popular Google Adsense and Yahoo publisher network. All of them have different approaches of getting their ads relevant on content web sites. Relevant ads mean that if a visitor goes to a page for example video chat he/she will see a relevant advertisement of a video chat on an advertisers’ web site. If that visitor clicks on the advertisement the owner of the content web site will get a commission.
The following tips will help you to locate relevant ads on your web site pages:
- Reconsider the keywords you have in the meta section, page titles and content of your web site this will help AdSense to place relevant ads.
- If you want to get particular ads on a page which should be different from the main theme of the web site then I would recommend that you scan words which are repeated in your headers, sidebars, menus and change undesirable words.
- Keep in mind that you may see different ads on your web site from your side because advertisers use geo targeting.
- If you get irrelevant ads it means that your web site is not old enough and at the beginning you may get social non-paid ads. Or use a tool for blocking irrelevant ads for example Google’s Competitive Ad filter.
- Think about the right positions for your ads. It is simple as you see ads during a prime time on TV or listen to the radio while driving a car.

According to numerous feedback we decided to develop a new solution for FaceJuggle service – “Crop them all”. Now you can crop a bunch of photos by uploading a zip archive and get them cropped automatically. Just upload an archive and fill out the form here: http://www.facejuggle.com/album.php
After that you will get a letter with the amount of cropped photos and the price by email. To receive a download link with your ready-to-use photos you will need to make a payment. The charge per successful crop is only $0.10 and %10 off is for undetected faces.

We receive a lot of questions and concerns about buying SkaDate 6 (Unity) at this moment since there’s a month or two left before the world sees SkaDate 7.
From this moment we will not charge upgrade fee SkaDate 6 customers who want to upgrade to SkaDate 7. The reason behind that is the relative closeness of the new version release.
Not necessarily all SkaDate Unity license holders will want to upgrade right on the release since SkaDate 7 does not show major new features at first iterations. The biggest advantage of SkaDate 7 is the new platform introducing the new level of performance and easiness of custom template integration. You will be able to upgrade at a later stage whenever you want, the free upgrade offer will not expire.
Thank you,
SkaDate team.
