			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wordpress 2.7.1 update is up and now it&#8217;s causing many headaches to those on Shared Hosting packages due to the security issues imposed by many web hosts in their clusters.</p>
<p>Due to a few factors, many of the servers located on the East Coast (New York, Boston MA, New Jersey ) are timing out to those located in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Thailand. This is NOT because of a link fault but due to some inconsistent issues by GCWW and AT&#038;T fiberclouds.</p>
<p>Our Proxy Servers link are also not available to MAXIS networks due to technical upgrades on their firewalls.</p>
<p>Also, our <a href="http://www.azrin.net/fb-games">Mafia Wars</a> Facebook hacks and cheats site are still about..and if you can&#8217;t access them, please use a text based browser like the one from Mippin or <a href="http://whois.sc/azrin.net">WHOIS Domain Tools</a> to read the updates.</p>
<p>In the mean time, I will look into alternatives to access the system and resolve this persisting problem.Thanks,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I got plagued with my cd licence keys being tampered and stolen by some people in my company and that really takes the piss out of me. Really with the Genuine Pack validation and stuff like that, I got blank black screens with my original stickers and well that is the start of the problem.</p>
<p>Thing is, with so many XP Service pack versions of Windows in circulation and that I purchased them on seperate occasions and not all at the same time gives me the creeps. Knowingly, SP1 keys will not work on original XP CD.</p>
<p>Stupid keys for XP3 will not work on SP1 and likewise for the Home Editions. Which is taking the piss out of me. Now I really have to fall back onto upgrading Vista and then downgrading into XP Pro or Home using a pirated installer disc which is really bad. It&#8217;s a matter of Principles, when I have PAID for the original thing and I am hereby forced to utilise pirated versions of the installer to get to where I needed to get done.</p>
<p>Post notes:<br />
XP Won&#8217;t Allow you to DOWNGRADE from XP Pro to XP Home</p>
<p>Vista allow you to UPGRADE or Downgrade your VISTA VERSIONS (Home Basic to Ultimate etc) using just the update key function</p>
<p>Vista Won&#8217;t Let you downgrade your copy to XP Pro or XP Home.<br />
You will need to reinstall a new copy of windows. Microsoft made agreements with HP,DELL,IBM and ACER that if you get a PC or Laptop PREINSTALLED with WINDOWS VISTA, you can get XP Pro for your single use, PROVIDED YOUR CURRENT KEY IS NOT ACTIVATED.</p>
<p>Just use a pirated means to install and then call them, they will provide you a new key and installation certification code. Some of these codes MAY WORK, and are BLACKLISTED from activations:</p>
<p>QQHHK-T4DKG-74KG7-BQB9G-W47KG<br />
H73K7-6HD2V-X4WJQ-TWFQ3-BYXT3</p>
<p> Windows XP Home Edition  Full product<br />
JKTVX-HCRXC-J2YC9-MX3K4-G9X26</p>
<p>Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade<br />
C84VB-JYVFD-P7HF4-6KKRJ-7M6XH</p>
<p>Windows XP Professional Full product<br />
DR8GV-C8V6J-BYXHG-7PYJR-DB66Y</p>
<p>Windows XP Professional Upgrade<br />
FKTW8-Q7MJ7-JK6GW-9J9RV-HC3C2</p>
<p>Windows XP Home Edition System Builder (Full)<br />
KGVXT-F9HVW-XGW9X-QVYVX-HQ9RD</p>
<p>Windows XP Professional System Builder (Full)<br />
TTGHK-3RC33-BT9DR-3BVYV-BTQ98</p>
<p>These keys are BLACKLISTED and Provided by <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457096.aspx">Microsoft</a>  for TECHNET scripted Installs.</p>
<p>Mainly, you do a fresh Install. Disregard any updates available etc and just install the copy. Some SATA Drivers are not loaded (many aren&#8217;t) and then just run windows as normal. If you update, then you will need a genuine key. I can sell you the key for an exchange of your current Vista Key and the CD. It&#8217;s that I got a whole stash of devices which is sitting still.</p>
<p>For those who need the XP Disc for your own PERSONAL INSTALL, I have them in my download repository. It&#8217;s for PERSONAL ACCESS ONLY and since it&#8217;s flipping HUGE, I&#8217;ve break them up to smaller pieces. </p>
<p>I will add more to this soon&#8230;or once the data is up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/12/coltrane/">Wordpress 2.7</a> is finally here, code named COLTRANE and is a stable release from 2.6.x and with many months of hard work, finally, many have contributed to the success of 2.7 where you don&#8217;t need upgrades&#8230;. it will do for you.</p>
<p>Of course, many of you who are lazy will try to skip it for once and I share the sentiments.Some plugins won&#8217;t work and this was raised in <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2008/12/27-release-candidate-two/">WP 2.7 RC2</a> and for those on Multi User (MU), please note that this upgrade will not affect MU. Some domain mapping issues are not available to shared hosted plans, mainly due to the DNS unable to pre-process the <SERVER ALIAS> tags.</p>
<p>Coltrane is a jazz musician and they dedicated the wordpress builds on musicians as they create life to the human form, in this case to the world of web. Without blogs, it&#8217;s tedious to update fresh content daily other than using CMS. For that, it&#8217;s a unanimous consensus among the community of developeres (WP-TESTERS) alike.</p>
<p>If you use CPANEL or Fantastico, please note that they have not updated the server databases yet and so forget about upgrading till it&#8217;s resolved, otherwise you will have your .install script crapping out on you.As normal, a wordpress database upgrade and reboot is required.</p>
<p>The new interface is more streamlined and you can install your plugins either from a download or upload a zip file totally without the FTP need. It&#8217;s just the begining&#8230;.but I let you explore on your own.</p>
<p>For those who host their own servers and resell services using AWBS, please note that there is a MAJOR UPGRADE to the versions, and current stack is now at 2.8.0 and if you have 2.7.5, please run a maintenance and upgrade your files. Make sure you keep your license files intact. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for most&#8230;.. have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Latest feed reports that Malaysian Lady, Hema Kasipillay was found dead in Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel last night. Reports indicate that her body was found partially charred remains on the six floor of the building. She left husband K. Sivakumaran and two children 18 and 19 who are studying Medicine in Russia.</p>
<p>Post Morten indicates that she died of smoke inhalation as compared to the other victims. This made the news more harsh to bear when another lady, Singaporean lawyer <a href="http://www.singapura.eu/national/singaporean-lawyer-kill-in-mumbai-terror-attack.htm">Lo Hwei Yen</a> 28, was found to be gunned down to head and abdomen at The Oberoi Trident Hotel across Mumbai.</p>
<p>We pray for their souls and offer our condolences to the families and friends of the victims.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wordpress is issuing a 2.6.3 update prior to their release of the 2.7 series (which is actually on 2.7 R2 SVN Beta) and if you update, there are some things you need not worry about. Though I am too lazy to do it , so I&#8217;ll sit this one out while the 2.7 is stablised and concentrate on the MU development on my <a href="http://chat.nu/wp-signup.php">Community Site</a>. While CBOX is cool, what is not cool is the restricted usage, and I do like the ALAMAK CHAT version, though I hate the C Prog behind it.</p>
<p>Anyway, do look out for those features and good luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That is something that is crashing my servers for the last few weeks when I finally recovered one of the data stripes to rebuilt my Visit Kent website. One I am not proud to say I am the worst blogger of all time, non-us, but it&#8217;s something even Perez Hilton love : Visitors.</p>
<p>Topics to talk about normally must be of current events,like money politics, how to make more money, how to make money out of porn, free porn, free sex, kopi macho , men&#8217;s coffee and the works but in this case, it&#8217;s more or less nothing to do with me. </p>
<p><span id="more-71"></span><br />
I was digging up why these people kept on going to my <a href="http://www.singapura.eu/announcements/swift-card-singapore-banking-just-read-me.htm">Money Read me</a> for the sake of getting more money, like the free gold thingy I was talking about and that mainly, these people kept on Google me and Yahoo! me even after 3rd page just to show it&#8217;s worth the read.</p>
<p>Funny thing is that the keywords that is linked to the search are ASIAN BOOKIES, SWIFT CODE BANK, FOOTBALL, English Premier League, How to hack iTunes, Can I use POSB Debit Card for iTunes , using Paypal with Singapore account and the crap heap.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really lame when some are looking for Melayu Bogel on my Melayu.EU Ramblings of my Memoirs in Europe blog. Durgh, U won&#8217;t find the steamy pictures of Malaysian Minister Azzalina in bed with someone else, nor will you see Datuk K and someone else which may be tons of lies and video shopped, edited and things as such. To date, I am getting a steady stream of visitors and today, I have to say it, 60,000 unique hits loaded from my site, pointed off to MIPPIN and the quick loaders that allowed that to happen. </p>
<p>Even when Anuar Ibrahim comes to power or the PKR becomes the ruling party news won&#8217;t be that hot, because the hits are not mainly from Malaysia or Singapore but from US and Europe, which means if that is such, I&#8217;ll be receiving a fraud notice warning by Google, but Google Adsense seems to take it in stride and even praised me in an email to get that stream of traffic.</p>
<p>Honestly, who leaked my details off, only if I were to go on Oprah Winfrey or got an endorsement from Barrack Obama will I get that traffic because I am still blur, mainly because I am slacking behind with the updates, nor I post up any saucy videos of menteri melayu telanjang or Datin Sex or something.</p>
<p>Now then, I&#8217;m no celebrity, but I&#8217;m just sharing this so you too can get more hits. Every hit actually means about a cent to you, but in this case, where is my $6,000 daily income? Huh?</p>
<p>Or my servers playing up with me and someone using Chrome to mimic intelligence? What&#8217;s your maximum visitors a day and your earnings for that? I want to listen. Ping, trackback me&#8230;.</p>
<p>Oh ya.. Wordpress issued another emergency 2.6.2 release. Durgh! Just wait for 2.7 then ok?</p>
<p>System must be darn too screwed that Nuffnang ads are not showing up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Previously Microsoft issued that they will be clamping hard on Windows users who like me abuse their licensing or using a totally pirated copy of the software. Now that Windows XP is no longer in the markets, Microsoft now is hitting another whammy, SHUTDOWN WINDOWS mode, where instead of the nagware, you will get a disabled Windows Vista like black screen with basic mobility and all the other bull crap.</p>
<p>Now that you know, what should you do? Firstly you must NOT install the update for Windows Genuine Advantage patch. That will mess it BIG TIME. If you did&#8230; then you are in for a shock. Backup your system *(run a Transfer wizard)  and wait for it to mess it up again. You will then need to reinstall or get a licensed copy.</p>
<p>If you use an ABUSED COPY of the windows, meaning you lend your copy over, then you need to call them for help. I won&#8217;t say more, but there are tricks to the registry which disables that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While some of you opted that the fiver they offered were good enough, one should stop and pull a few steps back and see if the five dollars they offer you for the 300 word post is well worth it or not. Though may not be trivial for some,five dollars makes a huge difference in balancing the budget and it becomes more apparent to me with the shows like Deadliest Catch where the crab fisherman work with all sorts of danger to fish out $5 worth of Alaskan King Crab each way.</p>
<p>Well, the good thing about speed with the internet getting too cluttered is that Google came with GEARS, where speed is essence when loading up blogs and writing posts and such. It&#8217;s more or less using the WFW and ATOM publishing methods and pulling RSS and CSS directly instead, similar when we read a feed. Or some may monetize with FEEDSBURNER where Google is making another mess again with ancient accounts and linking with the new Adsense accounts.</p>
<p>Either way, it&#8217;s not doing me any favours as the pings on my backend is killing my post feed.Should have updated the feed systems earlier this month when I noticed it on the WP TRACT mailer but then I was too frigging lazy to change all my 82 blogs settings which makes me want to create another API where I can just XML call to the database to change my settings directly without this heavy graphic thingy.</p>
<p>Is it well worth it to sell my soul for $5 and risk my pageranks? Nope. I rather write for helium, though peanuts or $3 for the summer articles, but then I just do that more of a passion than of earning a living. Maybe I can later on develop these great writing skills to a book and really make good money like Salman Rushdie by slandering people and such, and get as many fatwas to make me a matyr or so.</p>
<p>What ever it is, finction or fact, blogging is slowly loosing it&#8217;s value and by writing great long articles nowadays makes it more worth than that five dollars from the paid post, because mainly Google will love you more and pay for the great feeds.</p>
<p>Heck, yeah, <a href="http://zackire.com">ZACKIRE</a>, my sister  has over 23000 feed reader which makes me darn wonder..or was it another hack again? I don&#8217;t know..as long she pays for the domain&#8230;heck it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just if you wonder what happened to my cluster of sites hosted on the East Coast Massachusetts, well, be frank to you, I exceeded my server resources.</p>
<p>Meaning, it will be down a bit till I sort out which site is taking up so much use or am I being leeched again. It&#8217;s right now suspended for EXCEED BANDWIDTH, which is standing at 15,000,000,000 MB (that&#8217;s 15 TERRA BYTES) allocated to me for the month.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be pulling up the secondary server up which is on the low end, but please be patient, since it&#8217;s the weekend.</p>
<p>Thank You </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think advertising on the web is really a great way to do things, well, you are right, except that the costs of advertising on the web is so expensive, especially with platforms that are already settled in like Google , AOL or even Yahoo hacking a 70% Premium of the entire advertising budget from you.</p>
<p>The American market is totally a joke, because there are so many players in the market that they undercut each other and it&#8217;s tainted with terror and gangs the like, especially in New York. Many have died off taking the publisher revenue with it, even in the Asian Regions. Go Kita or formerly known as Nufflets is the latest casualty to the process with little financial backing and other problems caused them to lose their pool of publishers and without a pool of publishers, they can&#8217;t get any sales as there is no where to advertise.<br />
<!--<br />
<a href="http://www.aductions.com/register/?rr=AZRIN"><img src="http://www.aductions.com/images/banner_468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" /></a><br />
&#8211;><br />
Many remembered the Advertlets scandal many months back and triggered a crash with Nuffnang Malaysia and the huge outcry with the Malaysian Bloggers was something they can&#8217;t handle,and just as well, Kedah-Based (Alot Star) Grab My Ads are something you don&#8217;t hear anymore.It&#8217;s as if they have gone belly up, since they are just another enterprise.</p>
<p>Which I came to hear from XBRAIN that Aductions finally set up office in KL! Yes, they are based in Centerpoint Bandar Utama just off One Utama with Starbucks and McDonalds round the corner, which I find it typical of this team of expatriate professionals. Mamak, Starbucks with WiFi, McDonalds 24/7 ,what else is needed to run the international market other than to cut their costs and maximise their income. What I heard is that they landed in Malaysia after signing an exclusive deal with a huge media campaign which from what I hear, government linked.</p>
<p>Best part of this deal is that I don&#8217;t have to worry about the Paypal payouts as they are writing publishers Malaysian Ringgit Cheques so they will do the exchange and stuff,saving you the US$5 withdrawal fees each time and without any charges and immediate payouts.There are some CHINESE and ARABIAN advertisers too, so it&#8217;s time you get your stats up and prove to the market you are worth it. I would suggest small timers to take the CPD or Cost Per Day basis, similar of Text-Link-Ads to entice the advertisers, plus the hassle of fraud click checks are taken away immediately, unless you have no traffic at all each day.</p>
<p>Getting you friends to sign up will earn you Commission Credits which pushes your income up, which you can use to trade ads with other members, like LiewCF or XBRAIN.BIZ, driving your traffic up. Imagine 50,000 visitors a day? Yeah.</p>
<p>So,what are you waiting for , sign up at Aductions (from the logo) or better still, wait out for their official opening and have coffee on them. At least it&#8217;s far better than the Nuffnang office.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE: (July 4th 2008)<br />
<a href="http://www.azrin.info/?p=61">Aductions Malaysia have closed up</a>. However the team behind Team Aductions Malaysia is up to something else. Another network maybe? I don&#8217;t know. Nufflets are still up to their own same tricks.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, words says much more right but in this new era, I was always fascinated by <a href="http://www.vecommerce.com" rel="me">Voice Recognition Software</a> because I am a lazy bum. About in 1996, I came across this feature that was only compatible with IBM with less than perfect Artificial Intelligence AI because I had to speak very clearly and slowly mainly they have a little bit on the dictionary in itself.</p>
<p>Now, the <a href="http://www.vecommerce.com/capabilities/applications.aspx">speech recognition software</a> is so far better that even huge companies utilize these <a href="http://www.vecommerce.com/capabilities/applications.aspx?ID=6">speech recognition system</a> in initial customer service interaction. Thought for those who are disabled or less than sensible, companies like BT and E-Trade used them to ask you to input your account number or social security number.</p>
<p>Which is good on paper but with idiots like me who can&#8217;t correctly pronounce all the &#8216;R&#8217; or some others, it&#8217;s a really painful way to do things as the human is the best way forward for that kind of people. Imagine me speaking 6543 1234 and the system thought I was saying 6853 1434!</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s a good way forward anyway, as once the fuzzy logic started to learn on your larynx, it will work to perfection so that you can dictate your thesis of 500,000 words and it will type it for you like what I did with my last projects. That&#8217;s why I am so interested into it.</p>
<p>Well, I did like to take short cuts..and this was written by a human&#8230;not by MS WORD! My gang who had to write their TESL dissertation will sure be angry with me especially when they had to explain phonetics and the sort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alot of you will be fretting to why you don&#8217;t get even enough earnings from the web? Some even get less than $5 a month from advertising on their blogs that these don&#8217;t even cover the basic cost of Internet Hosting of<a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1951493-10378887"> $5.77 </a>and the cost of a domain. Ever wonder why LiewCF and Jason Ooi made thousands a month when you can&#8217;t even hit that dollar? Don&#8217;t think of those cheap tricks, but it comes back to basics.</p>
<p>1) YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME.</p>
<p>Without it , you are basically sharing or not even getting any credit for your work and ideas. Each Domain has it&#8217;s own value, to it&#8217;s own keywords and it BELONGS TO YOU. Some are as low as $2 a year if they are on sale, and some are given free, if you sign up for some freebies or take up a hosting package.</p>
<p>2) Divide and Conquer.</p>
<p>Each domain can be sub divided to a sub domain to your own liking.A sub domain may talk about like <a href="http://www.mykitchendisasters.com">My Kitchen Disasters</a> (or do it directly as <a href="http://MYKITCHENDISASTERS.AZRIN.INFO">MYKITCHENDISASTERS.AZRIN.INFO</a>)</p>
<p>So each sub-domain has it&#8217;s own agenda to talk about. Don&#8217;t garble it all on one single site as it&#8217;s devaluing your site. Page Rank relevancy is as such.</p>
<p>3) Flow it, Smoothly  does it.</p>
<p>Content. Content. Content. It&#8217;s what drives your site to the masses. Information, up to date is best. As much as possible, as frequent as you can get it to be, not just chunking it all at one go. If you have some to lash out, throttle or schedule the dissemination by a few hours so the aggreators , RSS FEEDS managed to be delivered out, otherwise you may be spamming people.</p>
<p>Remember, bots are made by human, they don&#8217;t like to visit too often, usually once a day or 5 hours at max, so make it worth their while.</p>
<p>4) Costing and Pricing</p>
<p>If you use ad pricing system like Adbrite or Aductions, remember to set your pricing to be competitive. No Advertiser want to advertise without knowing that they will get value for their money, in terms of sales or clicks.</p>
<p>Competitively, set it to these limits:<br />
10c per click<br />
25c-$1 a day based on impressions (the norm is about $1 per 1000 visitors)<br />
70c per 100 directed views (targeted dermographics etc)</p>
<p>Put it too high you won&#8217;t get any advertiser traffic coming to your site(s), set it too low, they will think you are not worth it.</p>
<p>5) Check your stats.</p>
<p>Remember, a Hit does not mean a Visit. Use reliable stats like Google Analytics URCHIN.JS system and of your own to see if they visit long enough, they click something else, or who they are, if you use Yahoo&#8217;s MBL system. Always if possible visit their own pages so you build a rapport.</p>
<p>6) ANSWERABLE TO YOUR ACTIONS</p>
<p>Remember, every reply or comment , how nasty it is&#8230;is a positive feedback to yourself, in terms of content or even your style. Listen and if possible , reply.</p>
<p>Visitors like to see you reply to your actions.</p>
<p>7) Aesthetic Values.</p>
<p>Having too much ads is an eyesore. Too little means it bare..and it&#8217;s a balance of both to the eyes and to the pocket. Some pay nothing. Nuffnang Singapore pays only when you have ads running, so it is best to minimise or don&#8217;t show at all, as that will just slow down the loads.</p>
<p>Text Link Ads stay at the side or you can mod it to show horizontally if you write your own PHP MOD.</p>
<p>Right now, colorful and attractive 3 column themes are best, so you can place a leaderboard, skyscraper and a large square/ rectangle inside them</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.azrin.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Knowledge is Wealth</p>
<p>But so is sharing it. Sharing knowledge gets you better off, people mention about you and you get the traffic needed. Sharing it with places like Helium gets you paid. the more you share&#8230; the more you get. You get publicity and also some royalty. As much as $90 has been paid for an article which has demand. You never know when yours is mentioned in Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>9) Community</p>
<p>Well, things happen when there is a crowd but bad crowds are something you should steer away from or being in a clan or something. If you love cars, it&#8217;s ok to talk about cars and be in car modding forum sharing your thoughts, but not becoming an illegal drag racer on the street, becoming a nuisance or cause harm to others.</p>
<p>10) Compliance.</p>
<p>By complying with the regulations, like censorship or so, you are acknowledged better and you have less of an issue with firewalls or Cyber Nanny. Listing in DMOZ and other directories helps alot too by building you back links and once you are on one, the rest will follow suit.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my 2c , so enjoy the flow of traffic. It works, at least it pays the bills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing bloggers make mistake in the world of incentive Content Creation is in the writing itself. Many of you complain the lack of income surging to the site or even paying for the basic stuff like rent or even the cost of the domain itself. Many, in itself gets about $100 from Google Adsense after more than 18 months.</p>
<p>So how to make a decent return out of the investment? One thing is that to separate each theme or focus per subdomain or domain in itself, like if I say <a href="http://SNAPSHOTS.AZRIN.INFO">SNAPSHOTS.AZRIN.INFO</a> , it should show pictures or something talking about snapshots. One thing is also the focus of the Meta Tags and the Permalink to each side; if it talks about finance, it should have a slug entitled to the focus.</p>
<p>So how to bring the traffic in? Other than talking about in-depth and hoping for someone to drop by or a mention by a celebrity, you have to pull the traffic in. Some look for plain stuff which will get your blog censored..like pornography or the talk of the latest amateur porn artists. Others link bait or even buy traffic to drive the hordes in.</p>
<p>Will it work? Maybe. How much you want depends on what you have to offer&#8230;like the pictures you take (make sure you place the ALT of it) &#8230;or food recipes.</p>
<p>Oh well, that&#8217;s my 2 cents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like it or not, Blogspot or Blogger is the common platform for alot of Spam Blogs or SPLOGS as they deem it and with the Malaysian General Election just days away, there has been alot of speculation, criticism among alot of independent and related Parties.</p>
<p>One off note is that I got a small buzz from someone in charge of Network Management and Control at the Government side and one particularly was that the suppression of Information and Censorship of Content by means of keywords and also domain names. One thing does stick out : BLOGSPOT.</p>
<p>I mean how on earth can you block the entire operandi of Google? With the Nameservers based in the US itself, they really mean that you have to block Google in itself. How could you do that?! It&#8217;s like putting the Great Fire Wall of Malaysia&#8230; which just sounds like the way Singapore is separated off, by a small Straits.</p>
<p>So, what does it mean to the Blogger who is trying to make money by means of BLOGSPOT?<br />
Well, you will eventually get slower packet transfers and means they will be throttling the bandwidth to those sites. Means that your ads and script will slowly load.</p>
<p>What can you do? One is that to have your own domain, and two import everything from your old blog to the new blog, and wordpress does it well!</p>
<p>How much? Domains are as low as $1.99 for some TLD plus hosting fees. I am a domain  registrar and reseller myself and many of them opt to pay a nominal setup fee for the basic blog with next to no limit on the bandwidth. More info will be at my <a href="http://www.gizmonet-intraweb.com">Domains Service</a>.</p>
<p>How does this affect you and what do you have to gain? Mainly the Page Rank will be worth more on your own domain and you have full control over what you want in there. You can even install galleries and subdomains to befit each theme or concept you focus on, but make sure that you don&#8217;t get too side track otherwise if your blog sucks.. you bear no traffic which literally means no money!</p>
<p>What does it mean to me&#8230;in monetary terms is that you can do link selling or advertising campaigns. Advertisers pay as low as $1 per day for your skyscraper a day to the unethical Sponsored Link Advertorials which can be as low as $100 for a PR 4 site *(I have one which is quite dormant&#8230;so let me know if you want free mention&#8230;terms apply ah) to as much as $2500 a review for some heavy traffic ones like <a href="http://xbrain.biz">XBRAIN</a> and the cronies.</p>
<p>So, just be prepared to be blocked off with Blogspot.. but before that, get yourself ready and avoid the rush.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was having some fun today when a fellow kaki working up at Pageranks in Google Development team back in the US and actually told me that I am eligible to get back my <strong>Page Rank Value of 5</strong>. I was honestly gob smacked but the requirements are not that easy to comply anyway for me.</p>
<p>1) Content.I must add in the next month or so about 500 + RELATED post! Gosh! It&#8217;s bad enough to churn up content but 500? That works to about a post for every hour or so, and they gave extra points for IMAGES!</p>
<p>Yikes! Where on earth will I find content related to SEO and Technology every hour unless I &#8230;..do a RSS SPAM. Nah&#8230;. I will try.. but it&#8217;s not hard because I can churn them out, especially talking about Linux Based, with PHP, ASP and Scripting</p>
<p>2) Related Links. I must be relating the links too. Getting people to link me about my post gives a good boost. Thanks to a list of friends, they do link me often even though it&#8217;s not that enough, but every little helps.</p>
<p>3) Traffic. I should be getting a driven profile of over 1000 unique US visitors every day! That is really hard unless I talk business. And making more money and of course, the traffic drive for Malaysia, Video Lucah Melayu 3GPP. That will surely boost me to over 35,000 daily in Malaysia alone. I might want to, but looking at pageranks, I may loose my page classification.</p>
<p>4) Link Community. Having linked in Blogrolls will greatly help, but internal reviews about me will do just as well. </p>
<p>5) Well, of course, my own domain. Without SEO tricks in use. So,there goes BLOGGER!</p>
<p>Will you do this for PR 5?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a relief it is to be rid of debt, plastic debt that is. Believe it or not, the actual Annual Percentage Rate of a daily rated credit card interest works out to 19.7% even when you pay your debt on time. That given the amount paid is more than the 5% minimum sum and if you take cash out from your credit card, it works to an almost whopping 43.9% APR! Sneaky but 43.9% even when you paid off your credit card cash advance as the way they settle your debt is as follows:<br />
{Given You pay $1500 a month like me}</p>
<p>The LOWEST INTEREST FIRST<br />
Means, the ZERO PERCENT Installment plan which you took to pay for that PC etc.</p>
<p>ie: The Monthly rate of say $190/mth is taken off first from your payment (your bonded with Maxis for 2 Years). The balance gets to pay these&#8230;</p>
<p>The Zero Percent Balance transfer which you paid 5% anyway upfront,<br />
(Whatever the balance is available due, means say I transfer $5000 for 6mths, it&#8217;s $833)</p>
<p>What is left is $877 paid for these.<br />
Then the Credit Card Annual Fees (included as 2.5% Exchange Fee)</p>
<p>Then it pays for your Lowest Rate Retail Purchases, if Any.<br />
Then the Finance Charges due last month and this month ($450 this month!!)<br />
Then it pays for your purchases ($427 )</p>
<p>Means, these will come back to haunt you:<br />
The Cash Advance FEE 5% a month<br />
The Overseas Transaction FEE 2.5% of the converted amount.</p>
<p>YIKES! You think paying $1500 of the $30000 owed will pay for your bills?<br />
NAH! It pays only for $427 of your purchases.</p>
<p>STUPID?! You bet your paycheck on it!<br />
TAKES YOU 73 months to pay off your debt!!<br />
73 Months or 6 years plus to clear off a debt that you take thinking you save money by paying the minimum sum. FORGET what they say behind the RHB Card statement&#8230; it&#8217;s bull crap. Not 24mths to clear off, but actually 73 months even without taking a balance transfer or even a cash advance!!</p>
<p>How to save yourself from it??</p>
<p>1) CUT IT UP!!<br />
2) CANCEL IT. There goes your credit line.<br />
3) Sell all your gold NOW (Pajak Gadai gives RM70/gram)<br />
4) Uplift all your Fixed Deposit (why save on 3.4% interest when you get charged 43%!!)<br />
5) Save your paycheck!! Spend on basic essentials only<br />
6) last resort&#8230;seek help from Bank Negara. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.akpk.org.my/">AKPK</a>. They will restructure your debt and cancel the debt. But no cards or loans for next 3 years.</p>
<p>If you malu..ask money from Ma and Pa before Chinese New Year!</p>
<p>What I did? Well, I canceled my problem with RHB. They were a pain in the ass. Now I owe only the base amount of RM3000 which is about my 2 weeks fuel money. I have to cut my travel expenses now.</p>
<p>What is left? I have to clear off what is owed to CIMB. Yes..it&#8217;s a roll over,but at least no more interest. They lowered my rate to about 7.5% as I reduced it to a term loan instead.</p>
<p>A fresh start. A relief. No more Ah-Longs calling.I&#8217;ll stick to my Debit ATM Card from AM Bank instead and earn more points.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, these days, I seem to be lost, in the choices that is made available to me and the other bloggers in the sense of what we have on the palette to advertise with. Off record, I had to pain painstaking time to sieve through the whole list of advertisers who wish to be on my network. How does 379 slots and advertisers to vouch through and another 700 to prioritize and place the appropriate keywords on their products, and giving them the weighting. Which means alot of work and alot of money.</p>
<p>One of the advertisers which is paying top value for money for ANY TRAFFIC is a FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET BASED. Also commonly heard as FOREX with CFD and PIPs etc as the jargon word, they are actually paying as low as US1 per visitor. You may see some inline ads here anyway about these FOREX, Markets and so, and tell you, they are really desperate for money. There are so many network based advertisers bidding for Forex Keywords like Dollars, Cents, Yen, Pounds Sterling, Kuwait Dinars, Malaysia Ringgit , all to get the visitor&#8217;s attraction.</p>
<p>In comparison, other networks like NUFFNANG has started to move to the groove. Darn right that 25sen is barely 8cents per click compared to me offering 1Penny Per View (see<a href="http://kedai.tv"> Kedai.TV</a>) which is about 2cents per paid view. It&#8217;s not much but getting 15% from your referrals is alot of moolah you can sit on. I got on one advertising run by Nuffnang with RM7.80 for ONE DAY!! That is because I had you to thank for visiting me. It&#8217;s nothing compared to a sale accomplished. Commission rate we are talking about ? How does £30 sounds which is about RM200 for just a single visitor!</p>
<p>YES, TWO HUNDRED RINGGIT FOR ONE VISITOR and for the member, there is an incentive of 10% (or about RM20) for that sign up. It&#8217;s also commonly called incentive driven promotion which normally works with great sales and traffic. What it means for the blogger is that they get a combination of PER CLICK BASIS and a PER EVENT COMMISSION with a long term cookie to get that sale to your pocket. Be it 10 visitors a day or a million, ratios don&#8217;t bother in this one. It&#8217;s the amount converted and the personal touch that is needed.</p>
<p>So, what you think, You want 50C per click or 10cents + a percentage of the sale?</p>
<p>I am asking for your opinion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things that I don&#8217;t like is parting company, be it with friends, relationships or affiliation to an organisation. Of the late, I had to choose or they make the decision and one thing that leaves a bitter after taste was with Pay Per Post, and to make things worse, being labeled the worst blogger of the year 2007 (NON-US).</p>
<p>It was a joke at first, and some, had their egoistic American sense of pride to it. So it was a dent to my side income, which is like my candy money.</p>
<p>Of late, Ming asked me to choose whether to stay with Nuffnang Singapore or Nuffnang Malaysia. I don&#8217;t recall the need to be so territorial with it, since Ming himself is a Malaysian working in Singapore, earning the sugar and honey from the island itself. Anyway, enough of politics and between us, I had to choose sides.</p>
<p>My Loyalty is to the Country and Beliefs, and be it so, but being faithful to the administration of where you are located is a must. Despite Nuffnang SG pays in Dollars and Malaysia Ringgit, it does not make much of a difference as the income is just petty compared to the sit about and watch income from Text Link Ads and other networks which are in US Dollars.</p>
<p>And so, I will be slowly removing my Singapore Nuffnang ads, because I don&#8217;t think I give enough value to my friends and readers alike. This is despite the SG Server granted me Glitterati status and the Malaysian one left me out.</p>
<p>Unless proven otherwise, I will take em out because I want to see variety of ads, not just some static place holder ads which brings an eyesore to me. Having said that.. my layout will look better and less of a clutter&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s just me.</p>

Welsh love their Balls. I really Big HUGE GAELIC BALL. It&#8217;s call the Ragby aka Rugby ball or commonly called the rugger in the deeper sides of Wales ( I like to say it by their Official Name, CYMRU ) like Tenby or Llanelli  *(spoken as Glan Delli, locals say it as Klan Nack Lee). But then Wales love to beat their neighbours with their pants down and hit them hard on the playing field. I don&#8217;t remember how many times, but only so far England only trashed the Welsh twice (if I can recall) in the RBS 6 Nations Rugby Tournament.<br />
<img src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sixnations/eng_badge.gif" alt="England Badge" /><br />
England on the other hand played badly for the past few runs, and had been under performing in the recent events which were always plagued by some sort of scandal <a href="http://azrin.net/?p=672">&#8230;.. < more ....> </a></p>
<p>But them aside, I had my odds and bets taken down for the <a href="http://www.rbs6nations.com/">rugby dream team</a> actually, which punters predict this year, it would favour the Gaelic Brothers of either the Irish, Scottish or Welsh. My bet says it&#8217;s the Italian who will take the cup as they performed better than ever and it&#8217;s never going to be England as the boys are now filled with Winning Ego of Hot Air..delivering nothing.</p>
<p>I will be watching them straight from here though. And I will miss the atmosphere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember back last year, that heck of a lot of people were trying to boost their Alexa Rankings to get better Page Rank and Real Ranks in PPP? Well, seems that Alexa is placing a few nails into the paid blogging industry.</p>
<p>As of today, Alexa is not letting people mask the Alexa Pages to get a boost on their traffic Ranks. Which means no more REDIRECT.ALEXA.COM/REDIRECT?The-url in the short cut of your BLOG Entries. </p>
<p>So, remove them now. it&#8217;s plain simple now actually. Go to your Index.PHP and find (WHILE HAVE POST) and it&#8217;s just off the < H2 > tags&#8230;</p>
<p>So in essence, Glitterati also requires your links to be straight forward and I read many other networks and seems they are all shying blogs with the PayPerPost links and logos and banners. Since Glitterati is 2 days away, you better remove them all. Leaving TLA and Adbrite is OK.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nuffnang admittedly said that they can&#8217;t track 5% of the visits and clicks. Which is by far, a huge cry for those who needs every click or visit counted. Surprisingly, analytics can&#8217;t account for ads and clicks if they are fraudulent.</p>
<p>How can that happen? Well,some people love to SABOTAGE the blogger if they are popular enough or hated enough like me. However, Bots are something we have to dismiss against our server logs if you get my drift, but sometimes, it&#8217;s more to the ability of the viewer or reader to view the content itself.</p>
<p>Likewise, Nuffnang utilises Javascripts. I did point this error before to Timothy that the NUFFNANG_BID is not declared properly and mostly, users utilising Internet Explorer version 6 and above will show an Error and don&#8217;t load the ads at all due to the lack of P3P privacy policy missing within the domain. Another aspect is ICRA Rating,which rates the site as General or PG or R rated. To add salt to the wound, the drift from IE and Windows towards Linux and iMac is a serious issue. Linux don&#8217;t have Shockwave built in as the RPM and .DEB composite repository differs from each flavor whereas FLASH maybe easily plugged in using the Firefox (ICEWEASEL to some) addons. And since alot of the ads are in Shockwave, your user cannot see the ad and all they see is a broken link.</p>
<p>So, a tracker will show that if you are sabotaged by a MetaBot or a Crawler or even Google&#8217;s Spiders. A simple Tracker.js can show that or even a hidden pixel embedded inside the header will do a trick.Otherwise, a good AWSTATS will show that too.</p>
<p>So, how to make sure you get your 20c worth of click? Knowingly, a Global CPM Ad band works on a basis of how many clicks per thousand impressions. The higher the ratio, the better it works for your wallet. Remember that blogger who had RM93 for a week of ad? He has about 50 clicks per 1000 visitors. How to deliver that? Well, one way is to BEG for your Clicks. Another is to hot mention your advertiser should they paste a static one on your site. Ads like National Treasure 2 or Motorola Q2 cell phone or even the prominent Orang Oren (HAPPY.COM.MY) which is actually Digi doing it&#8217;s dirty tricks&#8230;. is one thing to entice your advertiser and reader to explore.</p>
<p>That way, it actually compensates your visitor and advertiser alike. Words like please visit or click my ad so I can get credit or 20c is not the way to go. That will get you kicked off any advertising network, be it Nuffnang,Advertlets or PayPerPost (oops). Blogsvertise,Blogitive and Smorty will love them though but definitely Google Adsense and Adbrite will terminate you without any payment at all in the first instance when you utilise PPC (Per Per Click) or PPV services;heck even mentioning it will get you the sack.Ask my sis, who lost $72 on Adsense because she paid 70c for 500 visitors..which surged and <a href="http://www.zackire.com/got-trashed-by-adsense.htm">killed her Adsense</a> and me, whom had a surge , overloaded my servers and got myself a kick in the behind because of the hardware failures. </p>
<p>So, in good faith, this will teach you to earn that big fat $1000 packets of gold from the advertising industry, and not to mention the fact of affiliate programs,which I will cover later on. As for me, this mention is to see if there is another bug on the Nuffnang system which has not been tracking my SEO Engineering 101 pageviews properly. So,every NANG will be a visit. Thanks for visiting, and for your time, I am giving you a FREE HOSTING for 2 mths, on me,and should you want more,I&#8217;ll let you in on the secret.</p>
<p>Best Regards</p>
<p>Merry Christmas and have a joyous New Year!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that Nuffnang is the highest paying advertiser in South East Asia, well, Asia for that reason. Compared to Nuffnang Singapore, the Malaysia Head Office actually has a variety line up of  advertisers for your little great blogspace. How much? Well, TWENTY CENTS doesn&#8217;t mean much to you much to the Singapore Blogger.</p>
<p>Remember the options in <a href="http://www.nuffnang.com.my/blogger/manage">BLOG MANAGER</a> ?? Make sure it shows <strong>SHOW GLOBAL CPC ADS</strong>. Unfortunately, there are only TWO OPTIONS in the SINGAPORE version, which says SHOW DEFAULT ADS, which is a bummer. So if you want extra money Singaporean, place a NUFFNANG MALAYSIA AD into the adspace.</p>
<p>How to do so? Well, you can place a SINGAPORE address in your NUFFNANG Application, but it is up to you to decipher how to bank that cheque in. Opening a Bank Account is quite simple actually, commonly known as an EXTERNAL ACCOUNT. Common Options will be the RHB Bank Branch in Giant Plentong Hypermart in JB.</p>
<p>Of course,traffic counts. A typical CTR of more than 1% is best, but with a higher ratio of pageviews are also part of the criterion of getting placements.  A typical BAND 2 CPM ad by NNSG is $2.88 compared to RM3.58 on the same placement. Of course, you will need at least 50 visitors a day, so how can that make a huge difference?</p>
<p>Placements, Content and return visits.</p>
<p>One least utility used by Bloggers are the MyBlogLog service widget by Yahoo! Install that ALONGSIDE with your NUFFNANG SKYSCRAPER, setting the pixel width to 150px for Blogger.<br />
That will show WHO HAD VISITED your blog,and in turn, come to their profile and convey your thanks, and do the same. If the person has Adbrite Network Full Page Ads, he will be compensated about 0.3SEN / 0.2Cent. That will network yourself to their community, and in turn get better visits.</p>
<p>Placement wise, how and what is the effective method?</p>
<p>MY LEADERBOARD for TOP PLACEMENT<br />
MY SQUARE at the TOP CORNER<br />
MY SQUARE in between the post (or end of post ::refer to Theme codes::).</p>
<p>(try the style:&#8221;clear:both;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;&#8221; alongside the SQUARE)<br />
I just wish they just use a non-javascript IMG SRC so it can be embedded in Wordpress easier.</p>
<p>Add a SG Sidebar and a MY SIDEBAR on your sidebar<br />
Add the MyBloglog Widget under it. So you know who and where they came from.</p>
<p>(MY is denoted for Malaysia, SG for Singapore)</p>
<p>And so, within a month or so, you can drive great content, and yr friends drive you great cash, because each click is TWENTY MALAYSIAN SEN. It&#8217;s better than Advertlets or Auctionads. Even this surpass TEXT LINK ADS placements and forget Adsense, they pay less than .01cent! Takes ages to get a check from them.</p>
<p>So this is more than twenty points, but if you want more money for your blog, make sure you have a constant flow of traffic. INNIT is a good source to broadcast your topic. I just wish Tim have standard IAB Banners *(468*80) so we can embed more stuff in. This don&#8217;t get us demoted from Pagerank analytics. That includes REALRANK and SMARTRANK by Yahoo! OOps, did I mention that new ranking system?</p>
<p>That will be for another day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before you bash me on anything&#8230;take a few steps back and a long deep breath, while try to make some sense into these codes I am gonna blab about.</p>
<p><strong>Google Page Rank </strong><br />
Pagerank = % of Adsense + Traffic Dermographics<br />
Traffic + Links + Keyword of Meta content = Pagerank Passed<br />
Value of Keyword = % of Density of Content / Total Value of Content (viscosity)</p>
<p>OK. This is the HUMAN Answer to the Smart Alec way of how the new algorithms are being derived. I analysed over 400 networks of websites and the blogs , with their pagerank value being tracked across the web with their cached files looked up thru major search engines.</p>
<p>One funny note: Google is also utilising not just THEIR SEARCH ENGINE but also mimicking third party Engines and Spiders <strong>IGNORING</strong> standardized robots exclusions. They have been found to mimic almost 30 variants of engine spiders to pre-determine the value and passing threshold of their so for called Page Rank.</p>
<p>Utilising the initial use of entries from the Google&#8217;s Blogger System, the spider link each blog with the relevancy of the keyword and it&#8217;s entry. It analyzed the link list of each post versus the static link disregarding the blog link roll and widgets as &#8217;spam karma&#8217; to it&#8217;s list. Highlighting the number of words repeated and keywords installed, their engine pre-determine the aspect ratio.</p>
<p>For Example: A blog has 50 page entries. It has 270 links individually linking it&#8217;s internal pages with over 100 outgoing. It has also 10 persons as it&#8217;s Blogroll. The Blogroll are given Brownie Points. It&#8217;s Widget Links loaded are given Demerit points. The Bot overall keyword for the site is checked against the MOST NUMBER of KEYWORDS MENTIONED, and it picks out the Most Common Number of Keywords mentioned in each post.</p>
<p>In this example is that THE blog talks about the theme of Motorbikes with Motor, bike, and the brands as standardised keywords.It will then compare each page post with the top 5 or 10 keywords bid using the Adsense algorithm and come up with a list, and from that list will see if the keywords have anything in common, known as the common numerator or value of the common keywords. That will predetermine the blogs VALUE of ADSENSE ADS and it&#8217;s Page Rank. The Higher the Total Value of Keyword Points, the Higher it gets on the Pagerank as it&#8217;s value for the Ranking of THAT CERTAIN PARTICULAR KEYWORD.</p>
<p>Then it is cross checked against the number of incoming links for the ANCHORS. Namely, it&#8217;s Site-Name, Author, Topic, Keywords with the Keywords in the Top 5 or 10 linked given a huge value. </p>
<p>Say I got 270 links, talking about SEO Hacks as the incoming Anchor and out of that, only 15 are the linking about my keyword of SEO, Hacks, Keywords etc (based from the Meta) and out of that 15, 9 are on the Top 10 list. So, it would give me a HUGE RANK for SEO and BUSINESS being the PR passed is 0.02 compared to a 0.0006 point per link.</p>
<p>Removing the number of people in the Round Robin Widgets (aka Tautons etc) is a good thing as you will loose the same number of point per spam karma link.</p>
<p>In regards to Adsense, they will see the dermographics and density view of YOUR PAGES against the number of pages available every day and the amount of content viewed. In other words, it&#8217;s PENETRATION.</p>
<p>The more fluid your content relevancy, the higher your rank, and the less you get smacked. In other words, don&#8217;t go off topic. Buying Links is a big NO! Ask for barter , with a discretion of HOW TO TALK ABOUT IT is better off. Let the responder have a choice. That gives you more brownie points.</p>
<p>I was analyzing the lot of domains from the top to the bottom,and my algorithms noticed this. And getting AUTOSURF is not good as the bot knows the HTTP_REFERRER unless you can tweak this. Using TinyURL is another issue.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is a preliminary review. If you have any thoughts..let me know and NAGG IT!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you can install YouTube Widget advertising on top of your Google Adsense? Yes, you can make some extra money for showing up some targeted advertising video,like SEO, Webhosting, How to Make Money and the works. Just as how you target your keywords, the same can be done with YouTube.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how much they pay for viewing it, but I do notice my earnings are severely bumped up since I installed it on my sites. Average out to somewhat $15.94 for eCPM, which is about 72c a click or view. Which is better than just getting one cent per click or so. Yes, I believe Google muscled Adbrite from their BritePics method, where you insert the javascript over your images so if there is an advertiser who is interested in the ALT of the Image, it will show up over the image.</p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s open to certain sites only, and I&#8217;m still in Beta. And what I believe is that it&#8217;s open to Publishers who have received payment and verified terms only. Which is great because they know these publishers are genuine and care about their traffic earnings.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see what gives, and you can insert this alongside with your Adsense Plugins.<br />
Great huh?? Let me know if this work out.Or it&#8217;s crapping out my style.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(remember to <a href="http://innit.nuffnang.com/view.php?id=331">leave a comment</a> on my NuffNang!)</p>
<p>In view of the recent articles and activities by Google, it seems that ONLY PAYPERPOST blogs are affected in the recent killings.</p>
<p>How they detect your site is PAYPERPOST blogger?</p>
<p>Sinfully, they asked you to install the widget that tracks you down, on the dermographics and the fraud. And so, that is what killing you. You have to remove the HIRE ME icon and all other icons related to paid blogging. I had my site thankfully removed last june, and by grace of God, it hurt me&#8230; financially. It&#8217;s really simple. They K-Lined all the blogs, but not the networks it&#8217;s in. They also removed the cache pages of the advertisers. Which is why I am being PageRank NOT PASSED.</p>
<p>So, to remove the widgets are easy. But to NO FOLLOW THEM&#8230;is something else. You have to find the posts manually, or by a little trick.It&#8217;s a little bit tricky&#8230;but it works.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ve put a link to how to do it&#8230; (full details later on) on my Geek Page on <a href="http://www.azrin.net/dont-drop-it.finance.html">how to mod yr Links</a></p>
<p>Good luck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a very optimistic person by nature and even with the recent changes with Google and the way they align the Page Rank which affect alot of you, my trusty readers, I must say, the recent months are very challenging for the most of us.</p>
<p>I have noticed that the marketplace has been abit dry for everyone, be it the Asian Communities or even those Northern American people. I was analyzing the market for both the blogger and the advertiser, and the recent drop in earnings and conversion ratios on the Adsense or even Pay Per Click markets. People are even willing to come and pay your site a visit for less than one-tenth of a penny / cent. People stop linking each other in retrospective view, for the fear of PageRank wrath of Bad Karma and the works.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, even businesses are worried of the slowdown in the Chinese Markets. What I mean is that the aftermath of the Beijing Olympics 2008 Post Construction Frenzy. Chinese stocks, like AliBaba and others are heavily over inflated, mostly 10-1 bias. Its a Dot Com bubble waiting to burst, and all works MUST COMPLETE before May 2008 and thus the rush to get things done, with slip shod work and cutting corners. May is the DEADLINE for major work to complete and handover must be done prior to July 2008 to welcome the visitors and tourists. Millions in fact. One of the reasons why Singapore Airlines won&#8217;t cancel their Airbus A380 Mega Jumbo all depending on the capability to shuttle the tourist dollar in.</p>
<p>China invested over a TRILLION DOLLARS within it&#8217;s internal economy to fuel the Olympic Bid. They want the world to know that they are no longer classed as the last ancient world of prehistoric times. China has risen, true to Prophet Muhammad SAW words, that we should head east to China to find knowledge and trade, but will this last.</p>
<p>We all know, majority of the businesses are targetting typical American markets, with exorbitant costs in the advertising alone with low conversion ratios and everything else, heavily inflated. Something worth 10 cents is sold for 10 Dollars with so many hands along the way. And since the American Sellers have stopped buying advertising space, because of the recent credit crunch, who do we have to look for? Knowingly that American and European markets are heavily dependent on volatile credit markets, depending on their ever trust credit cards of Visa, Diners, Mastercard or Amex , the Asian markets don&#8217;t. They all pay IN CASH. Hard Currencies like GOLD, Dollars or Euros.</p>
<p>So those in the Stock Markets have dumped their stocks for gold, in view of the Northern Rock scandal and Gold is ever going up, and up. So if you have been hit by the Google Evil Engines, then it&#8217;s time to fight back. And I know just the trick.</p>
<p>Till then.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Garmin has a new wonder for you bloggers : <a href="http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Navigator-StreetPilot-c340-GPS-Navigator">GPS Device For SEO Bloggers</a>. Never get lost again in the Cyberspace. Know where you are and what you would do next, telling you which ad to click, where to place your email address, who to visit so you get the most visiting revenue out of your site and tells you what to do so you can be a Google Adsense Billionaire!</p>
<p>Yeah, fat hope! This is just another hallucination of mine but would it be absolutely great to have a device like that? For now, we are just stuck with the <a href="http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Navigator-StreetPilot-c340-GPS-Navigator">C340 Street Pilot Navigator</a> which tells you which roads to avoid just in case there is a traffic jam / pileup / roadworks in your route. And if you are a truck driver, you won&#8217;t get stuck with small C-roads which are less than 2.1m wide so you can&#8217;t get stuck at those country roads and deep fords which the stupid GPS Maps won&#8217;t tell and let you get yourself and the car a free car wash! Or truckwash in this case.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.shopping.com/cctool/PrdImg/images/pr/177X150/00/01/9a/a0/0f/26910735.JPG" alt="Garmin T10" /></p>
<p>And so, you won&#8217;t need that nag from the wife if you missed the small side junction to get to your destination, as it will recalculate the route and provide the alternative almost immediately. And forget the Nokia N95 as that is not complicated an comprehensive enough to trajectory to get you out of that bumper to bumper traffic jam as it&#8217;s equipped with the FM TMC (traffic management control) signal encoded into your standard FM Radio. </p>
<p>I know this is great as it evens tells me where the static speed cameras are! I know cus I uses it, and as for now, I have to settle for this.</p>
<p>Any better ideas?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To those who are desperate to get some dosh from paid blogging, there is a place called <a href="http://www.smorty.com">SMORTY</a> which I have en tasked myself to write. Well, rather having nothing else to do, there are alot of opportunities coming up on their Task Bar.</p>
<p>You can also join their affiliate program thru ClixGalore and nab an additional 5% of all referrals to their way. Which is a great way ,compared to top guns like PayPerPost  who never compensate (properly) their customers that brought good business leads.</p>
<p>So, if you have a great traffic, you might want to write about SMORTY and their opportunities. But as norm, the competition is stiff, but at least, there is no Geo Target Demographics in place. So, what are you waiting for. Sign up or you&#8217;ll miss the boat. At least <a href="http://www.smorty.com">get paid for blogging</a>, right?</p>
<p>While I am not YET accepted to post for this task, I am quite happy to say that alot of jobs are coming in with this network, and despite the slowdown in the economic breakdown in the US and England, people are still advertising. Mainly because they need the sales to push thru and I was looking thru their marketplace as an advertiser, their rates are really comparative to what the others are doing. </p>
<p>As they are based down-under in Sydney Australia, they cater to more or less the niche markets. Recent advertisers includes major accounts in Australia and something that caught my eye was a supplier who wanted to promote their customized bedding. I&#8217;ll feature that in a bit over my wife&#8217;s blog later on. To some, it&#8217;s peanuts when they are paying $6, but six bucks is far better than having no work.</p>
<p>Anyway, like always, Christmas shopping frenzy is already started, and you better start your shopping for advertisers too! Best Wishes.</p>
<p>Brought to you by me as a partner blogger for SMORTY.COM. It&#8217;s time the market cater for your needs.At least with these people, you can <a href="http://www.smorty.com">get paid to blog</a>, even though it&#8217;s a small token amount.</p>

<p>Meaning, when I load up, all I see the first frame is just ads, and it&#8217;s a put off. I want to see content and not just filled with ads popping over.</p>
<p>Ads pay the bills, but know a balance of both sense of cents and sensitivity. Target it properly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I love is to shop, for anything. One thing I know less about is Wiki &#8230;which is a free knowledge contributed by everyone who knows about this. Someone forwarded me about <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Electronics">Shop Wiki&#8217;s Electronics listings</a> where it&#8217;s a list of stores just like EBAY.</p>
<p>Mainly, because ShopWiKi shops for the world&#8217;s best which I was told that they search over <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Help:Why+Shopwiki">180,000 stores</a> . Which I must admit, they are a very good comparative internal site in relation to PriceRunner and even Tesco!</p>
<p>Which is why I was tempted to do a search for <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/search?q=iPhone&#038;sb=1">iPhone</a> and read the reviews after the disgustable Ted Murphy&#8217;s comments about it and AT&#038;T on the PayPerPost community Blog,makes me wonder, if I should actually get it when I am in the US!</p>
<p>At least&#8230;it&#8217;s an online directory which is moderated! And I&#8217;m shopping for more stuff!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some arrogant advertising agencies are segregating alot of good advertising slots by separating the American , Canadian, Asian and European markets despite proof that these sort of old school advertising don&#8217;t pay great bucks. </p>
<p>Yet,someone asked, how to trick the system.</p>
<p>I am registered as a BRITISH REGISTERED ENTITY, meaning with a UK Address and phone number.</p>
<p>It does not take a genius nowadays to have a local phone number and address, by just renting addresses like a post box or Mail Box and a VOIP Phone number like Skype for less than $40 a year! Heck I even have a toll free number for $2 a month. Get your Toll Free numbers at <a href="http://TollFreeNumbers.com">TollFreeNumbers.com</a> for $50, and up to $1000 for a vanity Number. Say you know the offer from me..and they will work something for you.</p>
<p>Typical cost for a pricey New York post box address cost about $120 a year plus $200 for mail redirection costs, and the phone number costs. Fax numbers cost free too thanks to EFAX or JFax.</p>
<p>What else&#8230; that one, and you must be able to get hold of the GEOLOC proxy server. That &#8230;in another issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something came across me recently and this was compliments of some friends at the top, you mean Wealthy people.</p>
<p>If you do take paid posting, one thing to remember is demographics. Install some sort of internal tracking device to see where your visitors are from, what they are doing and seeing. One good way if thru the MyBlogLog community, and seeing your member&#8217;s track actions.</p>
<p>One off the note, you must be able to CHOOSE your topic properly. Don&#8217;t just clutter your site with all sorts of internal advertising or external endorsements as they lose value for your customers. Visitors are your customers and advertisers are your cash cow. Good conversion ratios will always bring you the cream of advertising. I have so many to pick and choose.</p>
<p>So must you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Domain Hostile Take Overs are a real life tragedy, when your Web Host is hostile, and you can&#8217;t access your emails and what not. When the WHOIS DATA of the Domain Registrant is unaccessible, people who are with Mal Intent hack into the EMail Account and deliberately Transfer the Domain to another Registry without proper authority. They then change the Domain Name Servers and put the site involved to a link mongering page.</p>
<p>One trouble we commonly hear, is that BACK ORDERING. Back Ordering is when you fail to renew your domain on time and it goes into REDEMPTION PERIOD where it can cost anything over $150 to redeem the domain and after 30 days, it&#8217;s released back to public domain. I have had a lot of my domains taken over many years ago when I was dead broke, and it was Network Solutions as the only registrar then. One of my cherished domain was Gizmo.NET  which is really a real deal. A hard way to get the domain back is to file for IDRP, or International Dispute Resolution Policy for infrigement of the patent or copyright. So, there is a sort of protection against CyberSquatters alike.</p>
<p>One good process is to RENEW THE DOMAIN UP TO THE MAXIMUM, normally for 10 Years (nine if it&#8217;s still live) and for domains like Tonga (Somewhere.TO), you can buy a TOnga domain and pay for a <a href="http://www.tonic.to/from?azrin@bbs.nu">.TO Domain</a> for US$25 a year for 100 years, compared to $50 a year. Only good thing about .TO domain is that it&#8217;s BUILT IN with WHOIS PRIVACY!</p>
<p>Talking about WHOIS PRIVACY and Domain Name Accuracy, GoDaddy has been known to DELETE DOMAIN NAMES that does not have accurate details.Meaning, if you use a fake or inaccurate / nonrespondent email address and/or mailing address and telephone number, and someone complains about it to GoDaddy or ICANN, the domain will be deleted.</p>
<p>So, now we have talked about Contingency Planning for DOMAIN NAME.</p>
<p>But what if we use LIVE SYSTEMS? How do we utilise a FLIP? And WHAT IS A FLIP?<br />
That is in Part 3</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is part one of the Series on Management and Proper contingency planning of your Websites.</p>
<p>Open Structure consists of you knowing where everything are, what they do, by the subdomains and such, and also main importantly, what to do in an emergency.</p>
<p>Emergencies can be classed as :<br />
Deliberate Denial Of Service or DDOS Attacks (aka Hackers Bombardment)<br />
Suspension of Domain Services<br />
Server / Service Provider Outage<br />
Natural Disasters<br />
Domain Hostile Take Over.</p>
<p>DDOS are normal, and like an example is Comment Spamming. A Good process is to remove the naming sequence for WP-COMMENTS-POST in your INDEX or PAGE.PHP to something else. It&#8217;s located in the <SUBMIT> form entity.</p>
<p><strong>Suspension of Services</strong> can occur when a rouge script, hacked or unintentional overloads the resources and takes over more than 30 seconds of Processor Time in each instance. This is a norm in any Hosting Environment. The Limit may also be 30% of the SINGLE CPU LOAD at any one time. If you utilize FEEDS or XML Calls, a delay in your uplink feed causes this issue predominantly. So, do a remote call as a CRON JOB instead.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it may be also our own fault, like internal ads showing some sort of Pornography. This will lead to suspension. Another mistake is PayPal auto payment system failed to debit the funds from our account or credit card due to Non Sufficient Funds (NSF) or Credit Card companies not authorising them for some stupid reason what so ever.</p>
<p><strong>Server Outage</strong> can occur as this relies on Network Attached Storage devices failing due to Corruption on the Data heads of Hard Drive Failures, as it will break down even a Raid-10 system. Powweb had this issue last year, and killed the entire network , even with Load Balancing in place, as a good load balancer,only distributes the load thru within the cluster of servers but they still dependent on the NAS, and as we all know it, NAS uses Hard Drives, and they are made of spinning moving discs and motors and rotors. To get a Raid rebooted or remounted back can take HOURS, depending on how much damage was the corruption, and with the provision of a proper snapshot of the data embedded within. What is made worse, that the Database Servers also rely on this, and any non-async of the data will kill the clusters.</p>
<p>Natural Disasters like Flood and Earthquake causes alot of damage. In California alone, a single shock can cost the population over $20Billion in damages. Even with a shock proof building and power generators backed up, the Power Grid and Telephone lines are in the ground, and a knockout at the Exchange will kill the feeds. It&#8217;s no good to hear that an ISP has 30 or 100 connectivity to the outside world when a 5.0 on the Richter Scale will kill the city Telecommunications Backbone.</p>
<p>Even a knock on the Far Eastern Plates, like what happened to Taiwan recently killed ALL the UPLINK UNDERSEA CABLES at that point of time. We know that most of the economy now depends on Asia , and without the Net Access to our clientele there, we are roasted!~ Some ISPs are better equipped with redundant systems and routes, and a tertiary communications layer is enabled. Though its very technical, but it&#8217;s quite simple to implement, but costly, at the rate of about $10,000 a minute.</p>
<p>Hostile Domain Takeover is when your nameservers are changed and sites removed , due to either NON PAYMENT of RENEWAL FEES or simply, being taken over.</p>
<p>Enough Nightmares already??</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know alot of you have heard about <a href="http://www.bloggerwave.com" onclick="submitIframeBlogId2198OppId4('1')" target="_blank">Bloggerwave</a> , which is a new Paid Per Posting advertising company which is silimar to PayPerPost or Amazon&#8217;s Blogitive. So , this is another means of advertising for you, the marketer and a form of revenue to you, the small time blogger.</p>
<p>For now, I can only see the top earners hitting a few hundred dollars being them promoting internal projects, but it&#8217;s a good start. Only downside to the place is that you can only place 5 blogs, which restricts you to what you can do. At least we know that alot of those leeches won&#8217;t spoil the market by flooding the Marketplace with nil traffic blogs, created on free sites only to earn advertising revenue.</p>
<p>For me, it&#8217;s just another cuppa coffee, especially with the latest deal I had with a client, investing $5000 upfront for the exclusive of their product being featured on the pagefronts, and any interstilial ads. Which is great. And that is just for ONE WEEK ONLY, Network Wide. Earnings Per Click? About $300! That&#8217;s alot of moolah, and someone&#8217;s paycheck in Malaysia!</p>
<p>Want in? Join in. I&#8217;ll be promoting that soon enough.Anyway, all are subjective to the standard disclosures and disclaimers. Errors and Omissions Excluded. (E&#038;OE)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seems the Google Pagerank servers are early this time. And according to my monitors, a lot of the datacenters are either Offline or Unranked at these instances. Normally, they install new codes and run a new archive to monitor changes to the content of the webpages staticly stored.</p>
<p>So, what do you need to do?</p>
<p>Clean the place up. Run a Keyword checker, weighing in the absolute heavy weights and place them into the META KEYWORD TAG. DomainTools can calculate the accuracy of your SEO Placed Tag and weigh them against the standard Stanford Whitepaper Criterion for SEO Accuracy and show you the percentage accuracy for that whole site, overall.</p>
<p>Releasing the karma from old links by doing a NO-FOLLOW for links over 6 months or so (120days is optimum) and adding the DO-FOLLOW for comment link after 60 days would do some tricks to it. Updating old static posts or so new fresh ideas or updates will make the Search Engines love you more.</p>
<p>So, my advise is, do a proper clean up before you get your rewards. They are in a &#8220;transition&#8221; period, so best is to game the system immediately.</p>
<p>This is Me,azrin for SEO Engineering 101.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone got me thinking, which is worth haggling over for having a company entity. Alot of places to incorporate and insert your talent to, but here is the thing that it grinds down too.</p>
<p><strong>United Kingdom</strong></p>
<p>Incorporating a Company in the United Kingdom is easy. You have to decide which Country you wish to incorporate the flag under. There are 3 entity states you can flag it under, England and Wales , Scotland and Ulster (Northern Ireland)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s common that companies are registered under the England and Wales flag. They can do business just as where they seem to like it to be. They are denoted by XYZ Company Ltd/Limited or CYR for Private Limited or PLC or CCC for Public Limited Company. The former abbeviation are in WELSH/Cymru. The company needs a company secretary and a director and must be registered to a PHYSICAL ADDRESS and not a postbox. Royal Mail postcodes can easily show that.Companies House, which records the companies are located in CARDIFF,WALES. An Annual Return is required every year without fail.</p>
<p>If your core business is in Scotland, you will need to register the business in SCOTLAND. Scottish companies are denoted by their SC on their registration number. An example will be SC12345678. Normally it also being denoted with XYZ Company (Scotland) Limited. I&#8217;m not absolutely sure if GAELIC is allowed in these times.It&#8217;s like &#8220;BANK OF SCOTLAND&#8221; being written as &#8220;BANCA ALBA&#8221; or something like that. Companies House for Scotland is in Edinburgh. The initial address must be in Scotland.</p>
<p>For Northern Ireland, same thing as Scottish Companies.</p>
<p>These Companies can operate their business in ANYWHERE of the United Kingdom but limited to the Channel Islands of Manx,Jersey,Aldersey and Guernsey. They cannot also place the name as XYZ &#038; Company Inc unlike the US.</p>
<p>If they start employing people or other than the director, they are not just required to register with the HM Revenue and Customs for Corporation Tax but also PAYE or Pay as you earn, collecting National Insurance, Employment Tax,Pensions and Student Loans from the employee. Corporation tax is about 28% as of press (subject to the Chancellor Gordon Brown),whereas Employer&#8217;s Contribution for National Insurance (NIC) is 12% and 11% from the employee.</p>
<p>Employment Tax is in the bands of 10%,22% and 40% for income of under Â£2,000,Â£29,000 and exceed Â£29000 with allowances in the Tax Codes (Normally as of now is Â£5054) otherwise, a tax code of BR meaning Basic Rate of Income Tax at 22% and for non-resident worker or non-identifiable employees, X-Rated or Emergency Tax code of 40% imposed on their earnings. Refunds are made thru End of Year Tax Assessments.</p>
<p>If the Company turnover exceed Â£52,000 , then they are also required to collect sales tax or Value Added Tax *(VAT) on all sales except those listed. Utilities are rated at 5% and nil for medicines and food (excludes cooked food or takeaways). Fuel is 17.5% added tax on top of all tax imposed.</p>
<p>Setting a company for NON-RESIDENT is about Â£350, and setting up others, like mail redirection of about Â£100 plus Royal Mail fees of Â£62.80 per name, and PAYE and VAT costing much more as you require the person being a legal resident , who is held liable if anything cocks up! That can cost as much as Â£3000 plus getting you the work permits etc, about Â£5000!</p>
<p>You must be there to open a UK Company Bank Account.</p>
<p>There are alot of Tax Credits to boost your business. Ask the local Jobcenter and Council for more information. All they want is to help people get to work, thus getting you a better business, locally and globally.</p>
<p><strong>United States</strong></p>
<p>There are many states to choose from. Prices start from $400 onwards plus local fees. Mail redirection and alike cost about another $700 a year plus approx $25 per week in postage for redirecting your company mail. Note that alot of places and businesses like banks etc. Banks and services will still require a PHYSICAL HOME ADDRESS and A PHYSICAL PHONE NUMBER, and that is a hinderance, even when I was there.</p>
<p>Total cost: $5000+ other fees each year which works to about $900.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by cheap fees of Delaware and some states. Hidden agenda fees applies. US Banking has the highest service fees, plus checkbooks which they will only ship to the physical address on file.</p>
<p>A Toll-Free Number is best to make business in the US, so that customers think you are somebody especially if the number can spell your business name, like 1800-company etc.</p>
<p>US TAX REGIMES are what I dread most. Even having Quickbooks etc, still makes you stumble here and there. So consider that in your books.</p>
<p>Consider these before you start your affiliate program, as you will need either one for your checks. US Dollar checks can be deposited into the Pounds Sterling Bank Account, but not sterling into Dollar&#8217;s. They don&#8217;t like the English.</p>
<p>UK Cheques takes about a week to clear, at least, and even with a cheque guarantee card, it can still bounce! Card Processing fees are highest, so might as well use PAYPAL or NOCHEX.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That is a complex terminology which I have found in the weighting of my Melayu.EU&#8217;s Post Mortem, where it dropped from PR5 to PR3. A HUGE DROP! Yikes!</p>
<p>Apparently, the internal links keep &#8230;.well to yourself. Even with a Do-follow, it actually causes more damage than ever, leaking your karma away.</p>
<p>One thing I do notice is that Domain Tools stated something about SEO SCORE:</p>
<blockquote><p>     Links</p>
<p>        We factor in three types of links: On-domain links, Off-domain links, and No-Follow links. Each type of link is different and gives its own type of optimization to a pages it links to. We have derived our score to assume that the current domain wants to keep as much focused PR as possible so we mark down pages that link outbound more then a certain percent of the time.</p>
<p>        On-Domain links: These help PR and generally boast a score because links are flowing back to the domain where the webpage is located and the pages inside the domain are likely to flow back to the original page.</p>
<p>       <strong> Off-Domain links: They don&#8217;t hurt a page but they weaken the domain&#8217;s focusing PR power. We encourage people to link to good resources and it will not penalize a page if there are one or two links going off site. However if a page is 100% outbound links then at that point we drop the score a few points.</strong></p>
<p>        No-Follow links: We disregard these links and they are neutral. You can learn more about them b
