			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re going to build your site on WordPress, it&#8217;s almost imperative that you use a theme and customize it according to your desired look rather than coding everything from scratch. Themes give your website a framework for how it will look both to the end user and to search engine bots who analyze the site from a code perspective. Needless to say, finding the right theme for your site is crucial to how much success it will have later on.</p>
<p>The best thing is always to find something that matches your demands 80-90 percent and then have the last 10-20% developed, where as a lot of people often go for the 100% developed solution and therefor pays through the roof for it.</p>
<p>The formula is pretty meek: You keep your theme simple for search engine spiders to crawl and index its pages, while keeping it attractive and neat for your target readers. There are a ton of great, free themes for WordPress, but if you want something that&#8217;s ready-made, unique looking and comes with a touch of class, I recommend getting a premium theme from <a href='http://www.elegantthemes.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=8600' rel='external ' title=''>ElegantThemes.com</a>.</p>
<p>As the name suggests, Elegant Themes offers a huge selection of chic, SEO-friendly WordPress themes that you&#8217;ll love. Why am I high on these guys? here are some reasons.<br />
What I love about Elegant Themes</p>
<p>Customizability &#8211; Elegant Themes pays special attention to a user’s personal or business preference. While it’s true that themes have certain formats to follow, Elegant Themes still allows you to be creative by giving you a variety of customizable elements. This extends from page layout and comment management to element colorization and featured article slider.</p>
<p>SEO Options &#8211; Elegant Themes grants you complete control over each theme’s meta elements, from the website’s overall meta data down to the individual pages. You can also avoid duplicate content because Elegant Themes gives you the option to enable canonical URLs.</p>
<p>Browser compatibility &#8211; All of the themes are compatible with most popular Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome.</p>
<p>Advanced Page Templates &#8211; Elegant Themes prides itself with its multiple page templates that have very helpful functions. The Sitemap page, for example, allows visitors of a blog or website to look at how your pages spread out in a detailed and organized manner. The Advanced Search feature allows visitors to search for stuff based on specific items such as time, date and category.</p>
<p>Integration features &#8211; With Elegant Themes, you no longer have to copy and paste long third party code in individual pages. It has a special integration tab for that purpose. All you need to do is copy and paste code strings in one place and you&#8217;re all set.</p>
<p>The Take&#8230;</p>
<p>With all these features, Elegance Themes meets the needs of both new and veteran Internet marketers. The convenience lies in the fact that you don’t need to look for plugins anymore because they’re built in to the themes themselves. It also gives you the liberty of arranging your site layout the way you want to with relative ease. If things get too technical, you can always contact support or interact with other people in the forums. It’s awesome, it’s classy and it’s definitely something you should consider getting.</p>
<p>But the best Part, is probably the price compared to what you get.<br />
<strong><br />
39 USD for access to the whole library of professional themes, which might meet most needs.</strong></p>
<p>Check them out <a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=8600">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hvis du bruger adwords, er du sikkert stødt ind i at man kan bestemme på hvilket site ens adwords annoncer skal placeres, hvis man har aktiveret det der hedder indholdsnetværk.</p>
<p>Med denne funktion kan man angive at ens annoncer eksempelvis kun skal vises på gmail siderne, og det kan være en rigtig god ide.<br />
Det har tidligere været sådan, at sad du og læste en mail fra en ven hvor hun fortæller hvor hyggeligt hun havde det sidste gang i var på modemesse og at hun rigtig godt kunne lide den taske og de par sko du købte, så ville annoncerne i højre side meget vel være i retning af tøj, sko og mode. Det er stadig sådan, men google tager den nu lige et skridt videre&#8230;</p>
<p>De vil nu vise brugeren mere relaterede annoncer i forhold til hvilke mails du læser og hvilke du angiver som spam, hvilket jo er super smart, da det giver mere relevante annoncer for brugeren og bedre placeringer for annoncørerne og dermed en højere klik rate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vi har de sidste 5 år haft vores webshop og den del andre sites liggende hos <a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a>, fordi man kan have uendeligt antal domæner og sites på den samme konto uden ekstraomkostninger. Det virkede som en god ide, da jeg ville have nogle småsites op og køre men stadig til en lav pris.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mindandbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Hostgator-black-friday.png"></a></p>
<p>Jeg har kun 1 enkelt gang haft serverproblemer, som det viste sig skyldtes en af mine blogs, som blev bombarderet med trafik og derfor fik sql serveren i knæ.<br />
Deres support løste det hurtigt med det samme imens jeg ventede på deres liveChat, og rekomenderede at jeg installerede et plugin til caching. Og siden har jeg ikke haft nogle problemer.</p>
<p><a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"></a></p>
<p>Anyways&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"></a></p>
<p>Jeg fik en mail fra dem forleden om at de idag på &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; ville sætte priserne ned på ALLE deres produkter så de<br />
<strong>*</strong> imellem 12 am og 5 am(amerikansk tid) ville have <strong>50% rabat<br />
*</strong> imellem 5 am og 9 am(amerikansk tid) ville have<strong> 80% rabat<br />
*</strong> og igen fra 9 am og til midnat(amerikansk tid) ville spare 50%</p>
<p><a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-210 alignright" style="margin: 20px; border: 0px;" title="Hostgator-black-friday" src="http://www.mindandbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Hostgator-black-friday-300x186.png" alt="" width="300" height="186" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"></a></p>
<p>Så får man et hotel som jeg har med 20 domæner kørende ville det kun koste 99 cent pr. måned for hele den periode man beslutter sig at betale for(Dette kan være alt fra 1-36 måneder ).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mindandbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Hostgator-black-friday.png"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"></a></p>
<p>Overvejer man at starte sit eget hosting firma, er det også noget der kan lade sig gøre hos <a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a> med deres Reseller hosting konto som normalt koster 25$ for den mindste pakke, men så kan fås for ned til 5$ om måneden, hvis man slår til idag på det rigtige tidspunkt.</p>
<p>Der er dog flere ting at overveje inden man <a href="http://www.mindandbooks.com/199/need-to-knows-before-starting-your-own-webhosting-company/" target="_blank">starter sit eget webhostingfirma</a>, selvom det måske kan lyde som en profitabel forretning eller gentagende indtægt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time to start your own web hosting business? Check out this  guide of the basics before you take the leap of faith.</p>
<h2>How To Become A Web Host</h2>
<p>A question that is often asked. First and foremost we must  point out that web hosting is not a get rich quick scheme or an easy business to  run. It takes alot of patience, computer and technical knowledge and a solid  background in Computer Science to run a successful and solid web hosting  company.<br />
Some may disagree with this, especially with the innovation of &#8220;Control  Panels&#8221; that makes it easier for anyone to get a pre-built server and start  hosting sites. In reality, it&#8217;s not really that simple. Yes you can lease a  dedicated server from a provider and start hosting sites once you are familiar  with the control panel BUT a very important point to remember is those control  panels still have their limitations. If you do decide to start your own hosting  company, then do yourself a favor andlook these points through *before* starting a  hosting company.<a href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 30px;" src="http://tracking.hostgator.com/img/Extras/234x60-animated.gif" alt="" width="234" height="60" /></a></p>
<h4><strong>1. Familiarity with the latest software and platforms?</strong></h4>
<p>Have  you done your homework in terms of researching what are the latest   software, how they work and the pricing. It is very important to be  familiar  with the software that needs to be installed on the server(s)  that you will be  using to host your client&#8217;s websites. For instance IIS  when using Windows 2000  server is something you will need to be very  familiar with, if you are going to  be hosting sites on a Windows  Server.</p>
<p>On a good note, Microsoft offers a huge library of  information on all their  software, but it will take a serious time  investment to be familiar with all the  options available, security  leaks, and you have to be always on the look out for  the latest  patches. In terms of Linux, this is a bit more complicated. A strong   command and knowledge of SSH (Secure Shell Security) is needed. Even if  you have  a control panel such as Cpanel which offers a program called  Web Host Manager, a  strong background in Telnet Commands will be needed  or you will be lost.</p>
<h4><strong><br />
2. How much time do I have to invest into this  company?</strong></h4>
<p>In this day and age, most clients are expecting 24 hour support. Are  you able  to be on call 24 hours a day to handle all the technical and  sales requests that  will be coming in once you start your company?  Prompt support is a very key  aspect of having a successful hosting  business, so this is one of the first  questions you should ask yourself  before starting your company. Am I able to  offer the support my  clients will need?</p>
<h4><strong>3. Hiring of Employees?</strong></h4>
<p>Will you be hiring any  employees to start, or will you be a one man show  until the business  picks up? If you choose to not hire any employees then  obviously your  financial investment is less, BUT your time investment into the   business has now skyrocketed. No employees will mean you will have to  handle all  the technical and sales requests along with any other  problem that may occur. It  is important to weigh this aspect carefully  as it could make or break you.</p>
<h4><strong>4.  Financial Investment</strong></h4>
<p>Are you willing to spend the money necessary to start making some  money? In  many cases you will need to make some serious finanacial  investment when  starting your own hosting firm. Be very weary of the  fact that many of the  software on the market are not cheap, and the  type of servers most of your  clients will be expecting their sites to  be hosted on, will not be cheap either.  Many expect their site to be  hosted on Dual Pentium servers that are sturdy and  reliable, so some  investment will be needed.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is the  cheaper way, which is to simply lease a  dedicated server that offers a  high amount of bandwidth from another hosting  firm, and then host your  clients sites on that server. It&#8217;s an easy way to start  your own  company with little investment, BUT be forewarned that with network   outages, server crashes, you will have little or no control unless you  can  contact your dedicated server provider for a prompt reboot or  resolution of the  network problem.</p>
<h4><strong>5. Resources/Steps To Start A Hosting Company.</strong></h4>
<p><strong>A. Registration of Company Name</strong></p>
<p>Do a search on the  internet for trade name registration in your particular state or country. This will allow  you to register a DBA known as Doing Business As name within your particular  state. This option is the easiest way to have an actual business name instead of  using your actual real name. If you would like to go straight ahead and become a  Corporation instead of just using a DBA then you can use a site such as  MyCorporation.com to get started with your own Corporate business.</p>
<p><strong>B. Purchasing of Servers/Leasing of Servers</strong></p>
<p>If  you decided to purchase your own servers, you have a few options. You can get a  server custom built by manufacturers or you can even go the option of leasing  your server from a company such as Dell or Gateway. They offer a monthly leasing  to own plan. If you decide to lease a Dedicated Server , then you can review  offerings from companies such as Rackshack.net, Eservers.biz, Rackspace.com,  Cyberworldservers.com just to name a few. Each of those companies will allow you  to lease a server on their connection, set a specified amount of bandwidth, and  allow you to host your client&#8217;s websites on the server you lease from them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re starting small we <strong>highly recommend</strong> using a  Reseller account from either <a title="<a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a>" href="http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com/"><a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a></a> or <a href="http://www.greengeeks.com">GreenGeeks</a>. Both these providers offer Reseller  alternatives at a reasonable fee. You can read more about Reseller Hosting in  our related articles below or directly on these two providers&#8217; websites.</p>
<p><strong>C. </strong><strong>Bandwidth Providers</strong></p>
<p>If purchasing  your own  servers direct, you&#8217;ll need a provider that can run a line to the   server through a router to feed the bandwidth. Some companies that offer   bandwidth are : Level3.com , Twtelecom.com, Verio.com, and for cheaper  bandwidth  you can use Cogentco.com. Each of these companies will allow  you to have  bandwidth in your data center facility.</p>
<p>These are  just some of the  *basic* steps necessary to get started with your own  hosting firm. The task may  seem daunting, but it can be achieved with  hard work and dedication. The web  hosting market may seem saturated  with new hosting companies forming literally  each day, but there is  still room techncially for another good company. Once you  can offer the  support and reliability your customers need then you will grow as  a  firm mainly through word of mouth. If you treat your customers good,  they will  refer others to your service. In a nutshell, hosting is not  an easy business to  start, but it can be a profitable and rewarding one  when the necessary steps are  taken.</p>
<p><strong>D. </strong><strong>Office/Data Center Space</strong></p>
<p>With the purchase of   servers, you&#8217;ll need office space or as some say a Data Center to house  these  servers. You will have to look around for space in your local  city for the best  location with enough space for growth to house your  servers and your  connection.</p>
<p>We hope that this helps anyone who is trying to get into the  hosting biz!</p>

<h2>How To Become A Web Host</h2>

In reality, it&#8217;s not really that simple. Yes you can lease a  dedicated server from a provider and start hosting sites once you are familiar  with the control panel BUT a very important point to remember is those control  panels still have their limitations. If you do decide to start your own hosting  company, here are some basic questions to ask yourself *before* starting a  hosting firm.</p>
<h4><strong>1. How much time do I have to invest into this  company?</strong></h4>
<p>In this day and age, most clients are expecting 24 hour support. Are you able  to be on call 24 hours a day to handle all the technical and sales requests that  will be coming in once you start your company? Prompt support is a very key  aspect of having a successful hosting business, so this is one of the first  questions you should ask yourself before starting your company. Am I able to  offer the support my clients will need?</p>
<h4><strong>2. Familiarity with the latest software and platforms?</strong></h4>
<p>Have you done your homework in terms of researching what are the latest  software, how they work and the pricing. It is very important to be familiar  with the software that needs to be installed on the server(s) that you will be  using to host your client&#8217;s websites. For instance IIS when using Windows 2000  server is something you will need to be very familiar with, if you are going to  be hosting sites on a Windows Server.</p>
<p>On a good note, Microsoft offers a huge library of information on all their  software, but it will take a serious time investment to be familiar with all the  options available, security leaks, and you have to be always on the look out for  the latest patches. In terms of Linux, this is a bit more complicated. A strong  command and knowledge of SSH (Secure Shell Security) is needed. Even if you have  a control panel such as Cpanel which offers a program called Web Host Manager, a  strong background in Telnet Commands will be needed or you will be lost.</p>
<h4><strong>3. Financial Investment</strong></h4>
<p>Are you willing to spend the money necessary to start making some money? In  many cases you will need to make some serious finanacial investment when  starting your own hosting firm. Be very weary of the fact that many of the  software on the market are not cheap, and the type of servers most of your  clients will be expecting their sites to be hosted on, will not be cheap either.  Many expect their site to be hosted on Dual Pentium servers that are sturdy and  reliable, so some investment will be needed.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is the cheaper way, which is to simply lease a  dedicated server that offers a high amount of bandwidth from another hosting  firm, and then host your clients sites on that server. It&#8217;s an easy way to start  your own company with little investment, BUT be forewarned that with network  outages, server crashes, you will have little or no control unless you can  contact your dedicated server provider for a prompt reboot or resolution of the  network problem.</p>
<h4><strong>4. Hiring of Employees?</strong></h4>
<p>Will you be hiring any employees to start, or will you be a one man show  until the business picks up? If you choose to not hire any employees then  obviously your financial investment is less, BUT your time investment into the  business has now skyrocketed. No employees will mean you will have to handle all  the technical and sales requests along with any other problem that may occur. It  is important to weigh this aspect carefully as it could make or break you.</p>
<h4><strong>5. Resources/Steps To Start A Hosting Company.</strong></h4>
<p><img src="assets/ContentFiles/steps.jpg" alt="Important steps to take" /></p>
<p><strong>A. Registration of Company Name</strong></p>
<p>Do a search on the  internet for trade name registration in your particular state. This will allow  you to register a DBA known as Doing Business As name within your particular  state. This option is the easiest way to have an actual business name instead of  using your actual real name. If you would like to go straight ahead and become a  Corporation instead of just using a DBA then you can use a site such as  MyCorporation.com to get started with your own Corporate business.</p>
<p><strong>B. Purchasing of Servers/Leasing of Servers</strong></p>
<p>If  you decided to purchase your own servers, you have a few options. You can get a  server custom built by manufacturers or you can even go the option of leasing  your server from a company such as Dell or Gateway. They offer a monthly leasing  to own plan. If you decide to lease a Dedicated Server , then you can review  offerings from companies such as Rackshack.net, Eservers.biz, Rackspace.com,  Cyberworldservers.com just to name a few. Each of those companies will allow you  to lease a server on their connection, set a specified amount of bandwidth, and  allow you to host your client&#8217;s websites on the server you lease from them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re starting small we <strong>highly recommend</strong> using a  Reseller account from either <a title="<a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a>" rel="1" href="http://www.webhostgear.com/stat/123/reviews/hostgator-review.php"><a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a></a> or <a title="<a href='http://hostgator.com-reviewonline.com' rel='external ' title=''>HostGator</a>" rel="1" href="http://www.webhostgear.com/stat/96/reviews/greengeeks-review.php">GreenGeeks</a>. Both these providers offer Reseller  alternatives at a reasonable fee. You can read more about Reseller Hosting in  our related articles below or directly on these two providers&#8217; websites.</p>
<p><strong>C. Office/Data Center Space</strong></p>
<p>With the purchase of  servers, you&#8217;ll need office space or as some say a Data Center to house these  servers. You will have to look around for space in your local city for the best  location with enough space for growth to house your servers and your  connection.</p>
<p><strong>D. Bandwidth Providers</strong></p>
<p>If purchasing  your own servers direct, you&#8217;ll need a provider that can run a line to the  server through a router to feed the bandwidth. Some companies that offer  bandwidth are : Level3.com , Twtelecom.com, Verio.com, and for cheaper bandwidth  you can use Cogentco.com. Each of these companies will allow you to have  bandwidth in your data center facility.</p>
<p>These are just some of the  *basic* steps necessary to get started with your own hosting firm. The task may  seem daunting, but it can be achieved with hard work and dedication. The web  hosting market may seem saturated with new hosting companies forming literally  each day, but there is still room techncially for another good company. Once you  can offer the support and reliability your customers need then you will grow as  a firm mainly through word of mouth. If you treat your customers good, they will  refer others to your service. In a nutshell, hosting is not an easy business to  start, but it can be a profitable and rewarding one when the necessary steps are  taken.</p>
<p>We hope that this helps anyone who is trying to get into the  hosting biz!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeg ser engang imellem nogle plugins og andre scripts til salg eller høre om dem, som angiveligt skulle kunne generere indhold til ens blog automatisk og som skulle være unikt så søgemaskinerne også bliver glade for det og sender besøgende over til ens blog.</p>
<p>Jeg må dog indrømme at jeg har været lidt skeptisk over for det, selvom nogle jeg lytter meget til og følger meget i hvad de gør har været fortallere for nogle af systemerne.</p>
<p>Alligevel har jeg udskudt det, selvom jeg egentlig godt ville prøve nogle af dem af og se hvad det ville give.</p>
<p>Forleden fik jeg så en mail fra John Reese, hvor han taler om emnet og har et link til det her <a href='http://17b8c2rcs9metw88xxq91bw-9e.hop.clickbank.net/' rel='external ' title=''>Blog Blueprint</a> som det kaldes. <a href="http://17b8c2rcs9metw88xxq91bw-9e.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-190" style="margin: 20px;" title="blogBluePrintPakken" src="http://www.mindandbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/blogBluePrintPakken-300x232.png" alt="" width="300" height="232" /></a>Jeg kiggede lidt på det, men gør ikke mere ved det. I går ser jeg så endnu en af de her &#8220;Guruer&#8221; for Online markedsføring skrive om det samme, så jeg kigger på det igen, og har besluttet mig for at prøve det af nu. Det koster 67$ eller ca. 360 kr. med dagens Dollarkurs, så det er jo ikke alverden.</p>
<p>Der er noget forskellig oplæring og kurser sammen med, som jeg lige skal se igennem hurtigt, og så vil jeg teste det af, på et par domæner.</p>
<p>Det bliver egentlig ret spænende at se hvad det bliver til, men jeg skriver lige et par updates hen af vejen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeg læste tidligere idag et indlæg af Mikael Rieck hvor han skrev om sit <a href="http://www.antphilosophy.com/mit-%c3%b8nske-til-affiliate-managers/" target="_blank">ønske til Affiliate Managers</a>, hvor han skriver at</p>
<blockquote><p>hans bøn til alle de forskellige affiliate managers derude er at gøre tingene lidt mere automatisk. Da det dejlige ved Google Adsense er, at det selv kan finde ud af det hele. Man sætter koden ind og så klarer den selv resten. Ikke noget med at koden skal skiftes eller der skal bruges nye billeder.</p></blockquote>
<p>De fleste netværk vil jeg dog tro kunne gøre dette allerede. Jeg vil tro at man bare skal have sat et produkt feed op på den kategori man ønsker at markedsføre, så vil man automatisk få de nyeste kampagner opdateret via koden på ens site.</p>
<p>Man kan ofte også lave kan også lave en banner gruppe inden for en bestemt produktkategorier som automatisk opdaterer sig selv ud fra performance. Der vil man dog løbende skulle opdatere bannergruppen selv, så der hele tiden er nye kampagner i gruppen.</p>
<p>Jeg brugte det selv da jeg tidligere var ved <a href="http://www.tradedoubler.dk" target="_blank">Tradedoubler</a> og ved også at <a href="http://www.smartresponse-media.com" target="_blank"><a href='http://partner.smartresponse-media.com/z/12210/CD537/' rel='external ' title=''>SmartResponse-Media</a></a> har denne mulighed, selvom de har begrænset den en smule. Jeg bruger det pt. ved <a href="http://tracking.euroads.dk/system/tracking.php?sid=1&amp;cpid=85&amp;adid=169573&amp;acid=955&amp;eatrackid=3076" target="_blank">EuroAds</a> hvor jeg både har en pulje, som de kalder det, som er automatisk udfra kategorier og en hvor jeg har valgt specifikke kampagner.</p>
<p>Det man gør for at få en kategoribasseret og automatiseret gruuppe af kampagner er at:</p>
<ol>
<li>gå over under &#8220;Funktioner&#8221; og vælger pulje der(efter at du er logget ind <img src='http://www.mindandbooks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</li>
<li>Herefter angiver du, i den nederste boks, at du gerne vil lave en optimeret pulje, hvilket giver dig lidt flere muligheder.<br />
<img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/FlivThp/folders/Jing/media/4bc995c0-5392-4026-b5cc-caa7b8ad2ff4/2010-08-04_1337.png" alt="" width="722" height="271" /></li>
<li>Her giver du den et navn og hvilken bredde og højde du vil have af bannere med i puljen.</li>
<li>Til sidst skal du vælge hvilke kategorier du vil have med i puljen. Læg mærke til at det gøres ved at markere dem der <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IKKE</span></strong> skal være med i puljen.</li>
<li>I højre side kam man også vælge kun at have bannere som EuroAds har kategoriseret til kun at være til mænd, kun til kvinder eller begge dele.</li>
<li>Til sidst trykkes på bare på opret, og du har nu din pulje, som er en samling af nuværende aktive kampagner i den eller de kategorier der er valgt for puljen.</li>
</ol>
<p>Når Euroads så fjerner en kampagne vil den ikke blive vist i puljen eller hvis de tilføjer nye, vil de automatisk være med i puljen.</p>
<p>Jeg har lavet en kort screenCam video med Jing, som du kan se her der viser hvordan man sætter en automatisk gruppe op udfra en kategori hos <a href="http://tracking.euroads.dk/system/tracking.php?sid=1&amp;cpid=85&amp;adid=169573&amp;acid=955&amp;eatrackid=3076" target="_blank">EuroAds</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://screencast.com/t/N2QzYjFh" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://content.screencast.com/users/FlivThp/folders/Jing/media/008be673-69cb-46b7-9131-5277fb7777d2/2010-08-04_1333.png" alt="Video om hvordan man laver en automatisk gruppe med EuroAds" width="742" height="464" /></a></p>
