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.

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’s right now suspended for EXCEED BANDWIDTH, which is standing at 15,000,000,000 MB (that’s 15 TERRA BYTES) allocated to me for the month.

I’ll be pulling up the secondary server up which is on the low end, but please be patient, since it’s the weekend.

Thank You

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.

OK, there has been alot of hype and this and that about PageRanks.
While I am hatching my plan up, there is an explaination needed for the common person.

Qn: How many links are needed to Boost my pagerank?
Depends on What level are you on.

A new site is normally PageRank ZERO.
You will need a SEO friendly Sitemap installed.

So how it works?This is based on ALLStar’s theory.

From ZERO(or One normally) to PageRank Five (PR5)
you will need 17,000 Reciprocal PR1 links,
PR6:93,000 ; PR7 : 510,000 and 2.9Million for a PR8.
At $5 a link, it costs a bomb!

From Base of Pagerank TWO:
A PR2 Reciprocal link value to boost to 5;6;7;8.
3,100 ;17,000 ;93,000;510,000 links

More of this are in the post by All Star.
I will do a derivitive analysis later on.

Always a thing to do.
Find where yr visitor came from and thank them. Both the site who refered them and their own blog site.
What is best is if you have a Referer.ORG link , you get to know who link you and then do yourself that favour, return a link. Write a short thanks to them. cURL them. Find an interesting page and post, back track them, link em.

Ask them to use the referer.org so they get a free publicity.
You too get the free publicity.Both get a PR of 0.05 upped.
And thank them on their bloglog page too!
Don’t be lazy and join their personal community too!

Keep in touch, and then U get higher Alexa and Google Dermographics.
Remember, Google knows what you do cos you install that Adsense.It’s a way for them to track the system down.

Yep. Do your mouse a favour.
Exercise it.

Go fetch a community with alot of users in the community itself.
Open it’s Members List
Check out every member’s profile. (Open in new tab will be best)
and then go to their site.

Pick a few ideas of theirs and think. Is their idea worth an eyelid to bat on? Yes, then leave a comment. No, close Tab.

Then you see these people will return the favour and see YOUR SITE.
Even if they don’t, just looking at your profile will be fine. Leave them a THANK YOU note.
Leave a URL with your message …like Thanks for popping by. Azrin @ http://www.azrin.net

Then see more people come in.
Do this DAILY.
See your rankings go up….
And your pool of friends get bigger.

Make sure YOU MAINTAIN THAT POOL OF RETURNING PEOPLE! I will teach you that later on.
Do it on a regular basis and thus, you make more friends. Your SEO will now get much more precise!

An old trick I use to get more people to come visit my own blogs and not get caught out by the Spiders and Engineers (of Anti-Fraud Section) is basicly, getting more visitors to come into your own place.

Forget wasting hundreds of dollars on CPM Campaigns in Adbrite Terristrials and so forth, and link exchange won’t cut it. Simply put it, BlogWalking. A fellow friend coined this term for me for I love to walk about the web, for pages and pages to read. And get ideas.

One good easy way is to install the MyBlogLog Widget. There you see a whole list of who came by and on top of tracking yr clicks and so forth, you see who dropped by.

So, the good part is, you go back to the other geezer’s pages and drop a comment, thanking em for coming by, with a Tagline of your URL and site after the message.

Here come the best part, you go and get to that visitors pages *(open a new tab or something) and look deep in, click a few pages, and then, drop to his visitors page’s (Profiles then go to their webpage). You deep link from A visitor and normally lands with 10-20 links deep.

So, that process reciprocate to you. So you get 20 new visitors each day. If you get eager beaver, you will spend more time, and make them into friends by offering some freebies or something. Remember, anyone can be your alliance.

But remember to thank your visitors. That brings good PR and Rankings.Just 20 new visitors a day gets you a good Alexa Ranking of -3,000 each month. Imagine they come back, and click more. The more PR comes to you and if you are think faced, write a memoir about them and they too will reciprocate, just like a fellow friend, Diana and wrote a nice article about me. Tit for that. Link for link, process never finish.

That’s the Tip of the Week!

Enjoy the Cheesecake

I was working on the Walkabouts of a Singaporean in Europe when an idea struck me, why not have the POST NAME or PAGE NAME up on the title.
Surely someone must have thought of that…

so eventually, I have to RECODE the Header.php to look something like this:
< !– if this is Home Page — >
< title >< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ? >< /title >
< meta name=”Title” content=”< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ? >” / >
< link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”< ?php bloginfo(’rss2_url’); ? >” / >
< link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Comments RSS 2.0″ href=”" / >
< link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS 0.92″ href=”< ?php bloginfo(’rss_url’); ? >” / >
< link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom 0.3″ href=”< ?php bloginfo(’atom_url’); ?>” / >
< link rel=”pingback” href=”< ?php bloginfo(’pingback_url’); ? >” / >
< ?php } ?>

< !– Mod the above to see if title shows the blogname :: Title of Post –>

And when its not HOME PAGE, we don’t need the rSS crap.

< ?php if (is_page()); { ?>

< meta name=”Title” content=”< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ? > - < ?php the_title();? >” / >
< title>< ?php bloginfo(’name’); ? > : < ?php the_title(); ? >< /title >
< ?php }?>

Remember to save your header.php and upload back.

I’m rating this Level 2 Techie as it does not need much modification.

So with you site up and running, what options do you have to incorporate your income?
You can install the most common of them all, Google Adsense. Google adsense pays ALOT. Heck of alot of money if you know how to game it on. It will cost you a few thousands of dollars to learn how to do it and I will not condone such a scam. On average, you get nearly PEANUTS for that. So in a few mths and even in a year, you can’t touch $100!Especially if you are starting out.

So what other options? Adbrite uses a technology called TERRESTRIAL ADS which will come up as if it’s part of the page,just like a frameset, and allowing you as the visitor to scroll and visit thru the advertiser’s page. The advertiser gets his landing page under the bottom 600px high window. Some offer rubbish money and like me, I pick and choose, and as much as $500 CPM or click-views per miilenium (thousand).

Bidvertiser is another option, and so far, for past 1yr, I only gained $5 from my wife’s Cooking Pages and my BBS Community Photopages. It’s BAD. But it’s cheap to advertise on.

Some of these programs show image ads instead of text links, so look for them. It’s dermographically set for the US mainly. So if you have great US visitors, then you are in for the kill. Or buy them in. That I will cover in another stage.

Beginner’s Luck 101!~

Assalamualaikum. Salam and bless you for landing here.
I’m kicking this SEO Technology Blog by starting the WordPress 101 Readme for Newbies who are moving off from WordPress.Org; BlogSpot; Yahoo360 and the works.

So watch me step by step!

Choosing a webhost is not easy. Not as simple as going to your local Wal-Mart or something like that. You must choose what you want to do with things.

Basic neccessity:
Are you going to take up alot of pictures loaded in?
Are you in the US, EU, Asia as some places have problems accessing certain ISPs connected to some backbones like cognito or even AT&T.
Who and where are your friends and readers?

Word Press Blog takes about 5 MegaBytes of installation space. Some ISPs have these PRE-INSTALLED, ie Prepacked for you to install at one click. They are in Fantastico Control Panels.

Ask yourself what bandwidth are you going to use up, and what is your budget?
Hosting Providers like Gator start at $6.95 if you prepay a year, or Powweb at $7.77 $5.77, with Powweb giving a free Domain of your choice. Ask me for the special coupon code for extra subsidy/rebates/freebies/discounts.
I’m a volume customer.

Gator allows unlimited Domains for their BABY package at $9.95mth, with 100GB and almost a terabyte of bandwidth. That’s alot. With Powweb, its 300GB now and 3 TB, BUT and I emphasise a BIG BUTT, is that you are on no-frills shared hosting with load balancing cluster! At times customers in the EU can’t get thru during weekends. Also, in order to utilise the UNLIMITED DOMAIN, you must be Geeky enough to translate the HTACCESS script so it will redirect properly. Took me 3 mths to absorb all these, and till now I still make mistakes. They have since offered the Dummy Edition of the script so it will auto config, for a fee of course.Good thing is that you can manipulate your DNS so you can run off a Game Server from your own home using your own domain, if so should you be like me.

With gator, it’s all fixed to one server.CPanel does it all. Just add whatever subdomains you need.That’s it.Except for the cost.

I’m not offering other webhosts as a reference cos I’ve had poor experience with their flexibilities. I run a few FORUMs, Photo Galleries and loads of CMS, with shopping carts ..this and that.

I’m able to offer you a CASH rebate up to 3mths of your hosting fees. Contact me directly.
