The purpose of this work is to describe a comprehensive approach to internet micro-communities in its complexity both in theory and in practice. The work is focused above all on internet community managers or their owners and should provide them with theoretical and practical experience and procedures leading to easy founding of these micro-communities and at the same time how to expand and make them profitable. The work draws from practical experiences during development and administration of a traveller community ORBION.CZ and a pregnant/mother eMimino.cz community. I drew first from common principles in scientific literature and then tried to enrich this approach from practice and offer problem solutions based on my experience. This way I think I can treat the problems in an interesting manner. The work is divided into several topics representing community life-cycle. In the first place there is a notion clarification in theory and typology of internet communities. Then follows theoretical definition of users structure, description of community origin, its growth, sustainable growth and solution of frequent problems from practical point of view. The last part aims at theoretical possibilities of monetization and consequently business model options in practice.

Optimalizace obchodní výkonnosti webu pomocí A/B testování
Pařízek, Michal ; Raška, Ondřej (advisor) ; Tichý, Jan (referee)
The goal of this Master's thesis is to explain the importance of the Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) at today's E-commerce market share. A lot of people in Czech Republic confuse this term with more popular and similar term: Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The CRO focuses on the particular website and its ability to meet the business goals. The goal of the CRO is to improve the website and its conversion rates for acceptable costs. The ROI is important here. The CRO is a broad topic so I focus only on one part -- A/B Testing. This technique is based on showing different variations of a specific web page to the users. They are divided among these variations. Each part can see different variation. In the result we can see which variation was the best in meeting the business goals. The goal of this Master's thesis is to thoroughly introduce this technique and the tool which is perfectly suitable for that -- Google Website Optimizer. It is free and worldwide known and used. This Master's thesis is divided into several main chapters. In the introduction I describe few marketing models that are closely related to the CRO. Then I focus on the CRO, A/B Testing and Google Website Optimizer. In the last chapter you can find a case study full of practical examples. So far there are only a few resources about CRO in the Czech language. That also demonstrates the fact, that the CRO is not much popular in Czech Republic so far. On the contrary in the USA or Western Europe these techniques are commonly used. Not only big companies like Google or Amazon.com, but even small businesses use the techniques of CRO and can profit from it. I think it is only the matter of time it becomes more popular also in the Czech Republic. Therefore I believe a lot of people find my Master's thesis very useful.
