Kontera’s Day Out in Napa

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Kontera US went to Napa, CA for a day of fun and excitement.  The team took a bus to three wineries:  Elizabeth Spencer, Signorello, and The Black Stallion.  There were definitely no dull moments starting with the bus breaking down on the way to Napa and stopping at In & Out on the way home :)
Everyone had a chance to get to know their fellow teammates from different departments and offices.  Overall, it was a great day to remember- and we’ve brought pictures back to tell!

Not Your Usual Top 10 List: The Kontera Team Recommends

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Kontera deals with online advertising so the web is our natural habitat :).
So, we decided to launch a series of posts where Kontera’s very own recommend websites they find useful.

Without further ado here are a few recommendations:

w3schoolsRonen Tamir, Java Script Team Leader: A top resource for the developer community is W3Schools.com which is the best site to learn just about everything you need to know about HTML, Browser Scripting, Server Scripting, Web Building and more. You name it, they’ve got it.

flash-kitChaim Aharonson, Flash and Java Script Developer: FlashKit.com – an excellent resource that I began using when I was learning flash and have been frequently visiting ever since. I also recommend GoToandLearn.com which includes fantastic and very informative step-by-step video tutorials.

fwaIra Polubessov, Graphic Designer: I often visit TheFWA.com . This site includes an extensive collection of trendy and popular websites. I find that it’s a great place to examine current trends in web design and get useful ideas to solving graphic design challenges.

linkedinKeren Zohar, HR Manager: I appreciate the possibility of being able to connect with people of professional expertise from all over the world. This is why I’ve often used LinkedIn.com for finding and recruiting professionals to join our team.

Our SEO and SEM Managers had a tough time pin pointing only one or two websites. Since we wanted this post to go live today we had to put our foot down. Here are a few of their recommendations:

searchenginejournalSearchEngineJournal is definitely one of the first places to visit when plunging into search marketing. This extensive and constantly updated blog is a very valuable resource that keeps you in tune with the latest in a very dynamic industry.
As far as SEM goes, we believe in peer-reviews and find Digital Point to be a fun hangout place to get updated and tested SEM advice.

seo-bookIf you’ve only just taken up SEM here are two tools that will be helpful right from the very beginning: SplittTester.com and PPC-AD-Wrapper. The first will assist you in analyzing your ads effectiveness.
