Translating Polls in Joomla! using Joomfish
A lot of people who run multilingual sites on Joomla! have problem with translating polls.
The problem is related to the MySQL driver. If you switch to MySQLi “with i” it works right out of the box. This is the preferred driver for JoomFish. Alternatively you can change the modules/mod_poll/helper.php file a bit:
in getPollOptions function set
’ FROM #__poll_data as p’ .
’ WHERE p.pollid = ‘ . (int) $id .
’ AND p.text <> “”‘ .
’ ORDER BY p.id’;
And it will be working with no problems at all

Some SEO. Link building
First of all, what is SEO? SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a process of optimizing your website for better positions in search engines and to get higher volume of traffic.
If you blog or website is optimized properly, you get a lot of targeted traffic.
I will write about the most effective step for SEO namely link building.
Back link to your site is like a vote in view of search engines, and that means better ranking.
So how can you build back links?
There are a few ways to do that:
Article marketing:
I wrote about article marketing in my previous post. It is very good way for link building and requires a very little effort to gain links to your blog or website.
Forum posting:
Thi is another great way to gain one way back links to your blog or website. You have to visit popular forums (normally they have high PR) and post replies in threads that are related to your niche with a back link to your site (you can add back link in your profile, signature or in a post itself).
Video marketing:
Video marketing is the most modern way to gain back links and is getting proved very effective. However, it takes a long time to make good video and upload it on Youtube. So this method is not for everyone.

One trick of successful blogging. Article submission
Your blog may become a profitable way to make money online. Internet users love content and if you like to write, it’s easy to create content for a blog. One of great ways to promote your blog is article marketing. All you have to do, is to submit your articles to articles directories. But first of all you have to post your article on your blog.
Not all of your visitors will use article directories and they may never see it unless you post your article on your blog. Also search engines give more weight to the page where article was published first.
After that you can submit it to the article directories. It is a good idea to do that by using an article submission service. This will help you to build backlinks and raise search engines rankings.
The weight of your blog depends of backlinks pointing to it. The more links you have pointing back, the better. Also it gives more places where your blog can be found.
Before posting your articles to article directories, I advice you to rewrite them (to change a work order for example, and replace some phrases) to make them more unique.
