The iguru.gr domain was purchased on December 14, 2011. The initial goal of the administrators was not an information page, but rather a support forum for various operating systems, Web development, as well as application development in different languages.
Almost immediately after the development of the first website (a simple portal and the forum with software Invision PB) we realized that "the market" had several websites that broadcast news.
But it was news that they did not touch us, if you read one it was as if you had read them all.
So the iGuRu.gr bet made us very clear.
"Something different, not mixed up, clever tweaks, something more personal and of course with opinions that will not contain any support for advertising purposes."
Difficult, but we had to try, our goal, as we mentioned in About, was not to become another online portal with canned news.
We chose WordPress and started experimenting with the UI. We imagined the site, simple, functional, fast and above all safe.
We bought a theme that we liked, and we started to modify it by rewriting it from scratch, replacing unnecessary php functions with html. We removed everything that took us seconds to open the page, and we installed an SSL certificate to support HTTPS across the site.
A completely new philosophy for a blog, series σειρά.
Of course, for all the above experiments, we have always controlled the feedback of the public and of course the ranking of Google (Alexa does not care much, although the site is on a continuous upward trend).
But we did not stop there.
We removed all of them advertisements from our home page since they also affect performance, regardless of profit. So we kept only the ads that were inside the posts.
Where do we go after?
After all the above, is there a goal? Of course there is.
In addition to preserving all of the above and qualitative changes that you will definitely be looking for in the future, we are preparing new services and new collaborations, which will be announced shortly.
