Welsh love their Balls. I really Big HUGE GAELIC BALL. It’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’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.

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 ….. < more ....>

But them aside, I had my odds and bets taken down for the rugby dream team actually, which punters predict this year, it would favour the Gaelic Brothers of either the Irish, Scottish or Welsh. My bet says it’s the Italian who will take the cup as they performed better than ever and it’s never going to be England as the boys are now filled with Winning Ego of Hot Air..delivering nothing.

I will be watching them straight from here though. And I will miss the atmosphere.

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.

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.

So, remove them now. it’s plain simple now actually. Go to your Index.PHP and find (WHILE HAVE POST) and it’s just off the < H2 > tags…

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.

Good luck.

Well people, This is the start of the new year and it’s time to let it go with a bang.

Nuffnang admittedly said that they can’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’t account for ads and clicks if they are fraudulent.

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’s more to the ability of the viewer or reader to view the content itself.

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’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’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.

So, a tracker will show that if you are sabotaged by a MetaBot or a Crawler or even Google’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.

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’s dirty tricks…. is one thing to entice your advertiser and reader to explore.

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 killed her Adsense and me, whom had a surge , overloaded my servers and got myself a kick in the behind because of the hardware failures.

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’ll let you in on the secret.

Best Regards

Merry Christmas and have a joyous New Year!

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’t mean much to you much to the Singapore Blogger.

Remember the options in BLOG MANAGER ?? Make sure it shows SHOW GLOBAL CPC ADS. 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.

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.

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?

Placements, Content and return visits.

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.
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.

Placement wise, how and what is the effective method?

MY LEADERBOARD for TOP PLACEMENT
MY SQUARE at the TOP CORNER
MY SQUARE in between the post (or end of post ::refer to Theme codes::).

(try the style:”clear:both;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;” alongside the SQUARE)
I just wish they just use a non-javascript IMG SRC so it can be embedded in Wordpress easier.

Add a SG Sidebar and a MY SIDEBAR on your sidebar
Add the MyBloglog Widget under it. So you know who and where they came from.

(MY is denoted for Malaysia, SG for Singapore)

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’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.

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’t get us demoted from Pagerank analytics. That includes REALRANK and SMARTRANK by Yahoo! OOps, did I mention that new ranking system?

That will be for another day.

Before you bash me on anything…take a few steps back and a long deep breath, while try to make some sense into these codes I am gonna blab about.

Google Page Rank
Pagerank = % of Adsense + Traffic Dermographics
Traffic + Links + Keyword of Meta content = Pagerank Passed
Value of Keyword = % of Density of Content / Total Value of Content (viscosity)

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.

One funny note: Google is also utilising not just THEIR SEARCH ENGINE but also mimicking third party Engines and Spiders IGNORING 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.

Utilising the initial use of entries from the Google’s Blogger System, the spider link each blog with the relevancy of the keyword and it’s entry. It analyzed the link list of each post versus the static link disregarding the blog link roll and widgets as ’spam karma’ to it’s list. Highlighting the number of words repeated and keywords installed, their engine pre-determine the aspect ratio.

For Example: A blog has 50 page entries. It has 270 links individually linking it’s internal pages with over 100 outgoing. It has also 10 persons as it’s Blogroll. The Blogroll are given Brownie Points. It’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.

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’s Page Rank. The Higher the Total Value of Keyword Points, the Higher it gets on the Pagerank as it’s value for the Ranking of THAT CERTAIN PARTICULAR KEYWORD.

Then it is cross checked against the number of incoming links for the ANCHORS. Namely, it’s Site-Name, Author, Topic, Keywords with the Keywords in the Top 5 or 10 linked given a huge value.

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.

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.

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’s PENETRATION.

The more fluid your content relevancy, the higher your rank, and the less you get smacked. In other words, don’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.

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.

Anyway, this is a preliminary review. If you have any thoughts..let me know and NAGG IT!

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.

I’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.

Anyway, it’s open to certain sites only, and I’m still in Beta. And what I believe is that it’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.

Let’s see what gives, and you can insert this alongside with your Adsense Plugins.
Great huh?? Let me know if this work out.Or it’s crapping out my style.

(remember to leave a comment on my NuffNang!)

In view of the recent articles and activities by Google, it seems that ONLY PAYPERPOST blogs are affected in the recent killings.

How they detect your site is PAYPERPOST blogger?

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… financially. It’s really simple. They K-Lined all the blogs, but not the networks it’s in. They also removed the cache pages of the advertisers. Which is why I am being PageRank NOT PASSED.

So, to remove the widgets are easy. But to NO FOLLOW THEM…is something else. You have to find the posts manually, or by a little trick.It’s a little bit tricky…but it works.

So, I’ve put a link to how to do it… (full details later on) on my Geek Page on how to mod yr Links

Good luck.

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.

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.

Let’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’t cancel their Airbus A380 Mega Jumbo all depending on the capability to shuttle the tourist dollar in.

China invested over a TRILLION DOLLARS within it’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.

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’t. They all pay IN CASH. Hard Currencies like GOLD, Dollars or Euros.

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’s time to fight back. And I know just the trick.

Till then.

Garmin has a new wonder for you bloggers : GPS Device For SEO Bloggers. 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!

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 C340 Street Pilot Navigator 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’t get stuck with small C-roads which are less than 2.1m wide so you can’t get stuck at those country roads and deep fords which the stupid GPS Maps won’t tell and let you get yourself and the car a free car wash! Or truckwash in this case.

And so, you won’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’s equipped with the FM TMC (traffic management control) signal encoded into your standard FM Radio.

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.

Any better ideas?
