On Hanukkah, everyone must light a candle on the Hanukkah Menora (Chanukya in Hebrew) during 8 days, to remember the miracles of the Maccabees.

Every evening after the sunset, everyone lights a Hanukkah Menorah candle. If possible, the Chanukia must be placed at the windows, to show to the maximum of people that it's HANUKAH, the eight-day festival of Light!!!


This kind of advertising campaign is very important in Chanukah, it's the Mistvah called "Pirsoumei Nissa" (The diffusion of the Miracle).


According to now, we just wanted to participate to this campaign and give a Virtual Web touch to bring it to more people.
Internet is a wonderful medium for publicizing the Hanukkah miracle.
Every day of Hanukkah, a small Chanukiah will be placed on our ( and your) websites in the top right corner of the homepage in order to remind people to light a Chanukiah in their homes.
And each day at 5:00pm the Menora will be updated automatically.


So to participate, you have 3 easy ways to do this:

1. If you are a Website owner, so just Copy and Past the following code into your website:
   
   
   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://jerusalemstyle.com/hanukkah/hanukkah_menorah.js"></script><noscript><p><a href="http://jerusalemstyle.com/blog/light-hanukkah-menorah-your-website-20091201-42" title="Hanukkah Menorah">Hanukkah Menorah</a></p></noscript>

Google’s Real-Time Analytics is here. We've just got an email for Beta tester on the new interface of Google Analytics.

As a Chartbeat experienced users, we wanted to check it, and compare the 2 solutions.

Chartbeat, a real-time analytics service founded in 2009, charges companies monthly rates starting at $9.95 and a $99 plan for tracking up to 10,000 Active visitors. (and yes, we need to upgrade it again ;-) )


First impression, we loved it, Google as always is a Killer. It's well embeded into analytics with the new User interface.

But when we compare the stats to Chartbeat, we have lost around 2000 Active users?! So there is 2 solutions:
1/ Chartbeat increase the number of active visitors to get paied more ;-)
2/ Google didn't track well the Active users

Anyway as we like big numbers, so we will continue with chartbeat until Google will release his Real time tracking from Beta.



Plus:
Integrated on Google Analytics
Google Analytics Real-Time is free.


Minus:
Less accurate than Chartbeat
Replay mode as Charbeat. You can replay the audience tracking during 30 days.
Site Performance as Chartbeat. Charbeat give you stats on Site

Conclusion: We will stay with both for few months..

 

Update: Tony and Ben from Chartbeat have contacted us to explain why the numbers are so differents:

"IF GOOGLES NUMBERS ARE SMALLER THAN CHARTBEAT 

So as we said the Chartbeat statistics are more accurate!!

A client ask us to buy a Domain name in foreign languages it's mean not in Latin letter.

He heard that it's good for Google and SEO technics so he wanted to make it the primary domain of his website.
So we checked on the net and we have explain him why International Domain Names (IDN) wasn't a good idea.

First of all, you have to consider two kinds of "Foreign Letter" Domain name.
1/ For example, some companies sell Full hebrew domain names, (משל.קום)

You have to know that this kind is not accredited by the ICANN , so we will not speak more on it, it's just a stupid stuff.

2/ The other kind of Domain name, is the official IDN accredited by the INCANN.
For example in Hebrew IDN you have the famous איקאה.com (IKEA in hebrew).
Now, here the list of the bad point of this IDN.
