			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why do i blog? Or maybe its easier if I put it this way, why do spend so much time blogging? Do I look like I enjoy it? Well, I may look like that I enjoy it but I think the answer would be more than just a hobby. I don&#8217;t think people will just write because they simply have an interest of writing what they feel or what they want people to feel about it. I write because I want more than sharing something. I write because I think I have gold bar inside my mouth (not really). I think I write because its easier to let people know about me, do u think so?</p>
<p>But what I really to share is the Top 5 reason why people blogging.It&#8217;s just my personal opinion and some of them based on my experiences.</p>
<p>1. Money</p>
<p>Believe it or not, lots of people blog not because of the popular trends that exist many years ago before there was video blogging (Youtube),social media (Friendster,Myspace and now Facebook) and micro blogging (Tweeter). I remember many years ago when blogging become a phenomenon, there&#8217;s a lot of free blogging sites such as Blogger,Wordpress,Livejournal and Blogdrive (just to name a few) available for users, many people including teenagers sign up for this account and eventually,writing a story about the life or a diary of their everyday life become a new hobby to everyone.<br />
Things turn out to a huge different when <a href="http://www.blogkoe.com/2009/03/what-is-blog-and-history-of-blogger.html">Google bought Blogger</a>, and become the turning point where <a href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/">Adsense</a>, the world most famous making-money-online become successful and change at least 1 ordinary man a day to earn steady figures between USD100-USD300 a week, all around the world.<br />
I&#8217;ll will writes more about autoblogging and other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat#Black_Hat_Hacker">Black Hat</a> tricks that people use in blogging, just for the sake of making money.</p>
<p>2.Branding</p>
<p>Who can deny the power of branding? Ask the fashion expert. What kind of shit is <a href="http://www.burberry.com/">Burberry</a>? Sounds like Burrrp-sounds-of-eating-the-whole-berry-farm. But its worth a thousand dollar for a piece of boxers.Yeah right, like you can attract a girl with the boxer even if you have needle d***.Okay enough with the nonsense.The power of blog is like a power of writing a press release. How often do people read an articles or give comments about the newest Burberry perfume. With all the details about what matches the new series of product with current trends,the unique bottle design,the smells and everything else until we scroll down and suddenly get heart fainted with the sales price.The existence of any writings about this new product is important as it can help the brand to stay in the market.In what we called &#8216;mind-trick&#8217;, people has a limit memory recall on certain things that is not an everyday routine (Exception if you need to wear perfume almost everyday and evertime), so whenever this Burberry articles is found either purposely or accidently,it will gave some visual effects that stays under your subconsious mind.The more of this type of articles is found everywhere,the more percentage of people around the world will have it planted in their brain and whenever small talk occurs about such topics, Burberry will suddenly comes out from their mouth.The bottomline is, this blogging thing will help keeps the brand circling around bloggers and readers, just like in real life where the same thing is actually happen,without our knowing.But apart from the real world, we actually got 2 kind of world talking about the brand.Yes, the cyber world.Not only that we have 2 world with different people, internet promise us that the articles is available 24 hours a day,anytime and anywhere.It can be found using search engine at anytime from readers around the world.Unlike publications which is limited to certain parts of the world, any blogs or even discusssion about such brands is borderless in information superhighway.Who can deny the most powerful word of the world, it&#8217;s FREE. Yes, go figure yourself and you know that for every advertising personnel in this life, God has answered their prayer.</p>
<p>Woops, I gotta chow.Need to get some sleep. <img src='http://www.ridhzuanharun.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I forgot to edit this post, he next 3 reason will be added in my next post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting backlinks is tough nowadays.Plus if you some kind of lazy overweight guy who prefer watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RajNvJ3bCU">youtube</a> rather than dancing with his fingers on keyboards.But there&#8217;s some typing work that I am forced to do.Not to say religiously, but it&#8217;s the most proven theory to get more traffic to any sites that you are working with.</p>
<p>Commenting in somebody&#8217;s blog is proven to be one of the most effective method that works if you&#8217;re talking about getting more and more organic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization">SEO</a> traffic.Why? Well, with the development of anti-spam scripts in most of the comment post, people surely know that we&#8217;re not talking about some kind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyol">toyol</a> going out in the cyber world typing comments and leave his master&#8217;s links in order to get attention from readers.This is the real thing.We know that the real human who actually type his thoughts about such topics and if it can be something to think of,readers tend to have some curiousity about you and start to click the hyperlinks pointing to your site, which happens to let them gain more info about him or about such topics or &#8216;wise man says&#8217;. What do you expect? It&#8217;s a cyber world !</p>
<p>Here’s the 5 reasons why I comment on different blogs</p>
<p>1. I Get Traffic Back to My Blog – Commenting on different blogs is still the number one way to get traffic back to your blog. I have got most of my traffic from commenting on other blogs. I tend to use the name of my blog instead of my real name so that people already know what my blog is about.<br />
2. I Get to Build My Brand – You can build your brand by commenting on blogs. Trust me, there are many people that just go through and read the different comments just like people do on You Tube. What you write is what a lot of people will remember you by just like the blog posts on your blog. So think before you comment.<br />
3. Content Ideas – Usually you have to read the post before you can comment. Reading different posts on different blogs can give you a whole bunch of ideas for content. This has really helped me a lot so I have good ideas of things I can talk about to help bloggers. I know I can build a good blog since I have over 20,000 subscribers on two different blogs, but thinking of different things bloggers want help with is the hardest part.<br />
4. More Subscribers – If your comments drive traffic to your blog then most likely the people have liked what you are saying and could potentially subscribe to your blog. I have got most of my subscribers coming from different blogs after looking at my statistics.<br />
5. Becoming a Better Writer- Like I said above, you usually have to read the post before you can comment. Reading allows you to become a better writer if you think so or not. The more you read, the more ways you will begin to write articles.</p>

<p>Traffic exchanges are wildly popular. You see them everywhere you look, but do they work? In this article we will answer that question and discuss how you can use traffic exchanges to build your business.</p>
<p>In simple terms a traffic exchange is just what it says. You exchange clicks on ads for potential traffic. I say potential because although your ad is being displayed that does not guarantee traffic. It just guarantees impressions or exposure.</p>
<p>To get people to look at your ad and then click on it and go visit your site takes some skill. This is how you use traffic exchanges to build your business if you do it right.</p>
<p>1. You keep it very simple. The first thing you notice when you are surfing ads for credits is that most people are promoting a sales page and you are waiting a few seconds so you can click on the next ad. A sales page is not simple. It is too long and most people will not read it.</p>
<p>2. Promote a landing page instead. A landing page or a splash page is short and is designed to get people to quickly give you their name and email address. Your landing page needs a good title, a couple of support statements, a free gift, and a short 2 line form.</p>
<p>3. Get a good autoresponder and follow up with your free gift and then anything else you want to promote. You are better off to give and give some more in the email messages you send. Eventually you can ask for an order, but that comes later.</p>
<p>4. Surf several traffic exchanges at one time. Click on one, go to the next, go the next, and so on. Using a browser with tabs like Firefox will help you do this quickly. Try to do 4, or 5, or 6 at a time if you can.</p>
<p>5. If you do not like one traffic exchange you have joined, replace it. Eventually you will find several that work well for you. Then work those every day.</p>
<p>6. Watch your email for any specials. Different traffic exchanges will offer double credit days, or incentives to get you to surf. Use those to your advantage and surf extra hard with them on those days.</p>
<p>Traffic exchanges will work if you work them. The nice thing is they are free to join and can give your business a jump start when you have more time than money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article deals with the basics of search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is any practice related to the end goal of improving your website’s ranking in the search engines. This article will discuss various key points that one should keep in mind while performing site optimization for different search engines. Furthermore the article throws light on the effective use of meta tags and some spamming activities which should be avoided.</p>
<p>Run a search on any of the 200 major search engines, and the results will come up in similar orders on quite a few of them.  How a website owner/operator gets their website to the top of a list is called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO.  Optimizing a website involves many of the same techniques, whether the aim is to optimize for Google adwords, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves or others.  There is a list of what not to do as well, and that list is applicable to all engines, as it mostly refers to tricks and hacks unscrupulous designers use to try to trick the engines.  These kind of pages generally get removed by automated tools and don&#8217;t generally last very long, so they are not recommended to bother with.</p>
<p>Website optimization starts with content.  If the content is irrelevant, the website will not last long in the rankings, no matter how many keywords are included.  The best way to get relevant content is to get an expert to write the content.  General content may be more friendly to beginners, but in the search optimization arena, content is what is going to keep readers coming back and webmasters linking to the page.  Many search engines use link counters to rank sites.  If enough people like and value the site, they will link to it from their own site as an example of expert help for visitors seeking more detailed information than they can provide, or are willing to provide.  Often, general-interest sites will link to expert sites, thereby also driving their own traffic up as the initial portal to those expert sites and improving their own rankings in the optimization listings.  The quality of the sites linked is also a major factor in the rankings, as quality sites such as Microsoft and Google are going to be more effective &#8220;heavy hitters&#8221; than a link to Bob&#8217;s House of Website Optimizing.</p>
<p>When the content is being created, keywords are the &#8220;anchors&#8221; that search engines hook onto, but just filling your content with keywords risks being dismissed as a spam site, as many spammers merely fill a page with keywords, hoping to hook anyone searching for anything.  These kind of pages are usually removed quickly, but they exist nonetheless.  Specific keywords are the key&#8211;instead of Search Engine, use Search Engine Optimization for Google, or combinations of the key words or phrases.  Optimization for Search Engines in one area, then Optimizing for higher Search Engine rankings in another increases the chances of an engine ranking your website content a little higher than it may have otherwise.</p>
<p>The guidelines for content also go for Meta tags such as the title.  Title is very important, as it is one of the bigger spots for an engine to catch, as well as the hook that draws a surfer in once the rankings have been displayed.  A recommended length is 50-80 characters (including spaces), with keywords located near the beginning in case the window is resized on the screen.  A good example would be &#8220;Search Engine Optimization tips and tricks for Google&#8221;, instead of &#8220;How to do important SEO for websites.&#8221;</p>
<p>Search Engine Optimization&#8211;what to avoid:  Don&#8217;t use huge strings of keywords without relevant content&#8211;you may be labeled as a spammer and blacklisted off the engine(s) you&#8217;re trying to climb.  Stay away from pop-ups, excessive load times (by keeping the page clean and using fast hosting servers), and lots of flash animation, as this takes time to load and also detracts from the readability of the site.</p>
<p>More specific information can be found by typing &#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221; into any major search engine like Google or Yahoo and following the links.  Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.</p>
<p>The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.</p>
<p>With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.</p>
<p>For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.</p>
<p>There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.</p>
<p>1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.</p>
<p>2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.</p>
<p>When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.</p>
<p>With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.</p>
<p>The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many business people and webmasters think that an Internet business start-ups don&#8217;t need a business plan. They often take it for granted that an e-business is a seat-of-the-pants operation that depends on luck more than careful planning.</p>
<p>However, in reality, nearly every Internet business, from the smallest online retail site to the largest search engine, will be more successful if there is a careful designed blueprint to follow. Having a proper plan for your Internet business can have the competitive edge it needs. There are many great sites on the Internet that has great contents, great artwork and a fantastic design. However, many of them lack the one thing that is very crucial to the success of any online business&#8230;..traffic.</p>
<p>&#8220;Traffic&#8221; is the term used to mean &#8220;visitors to a website&#8221;. Many people are under the impression that to make a lot of money from the Internet is to simply set up a website on the Internet. Don&#8217;t be fooled by those who say you can make huge amount of money in your sleep without having to do much. However, if you have the determination and the effort, you can certainly make your online business an incredible success&#8230;&#8230;and then only your business can make you money in your sleep.</p>
<p>Although it takes hard work, it is certainly not hard to learn the correct techniques required to bring people to your website. Remember that not everyone who visits your website will buy from you. This is true irregardless of whether it is business on the Internet or in the real world. All the time people walk into shops, browse around and end up not purchasing anything. So will your online visitors. Therefore, the key to lots of sales is ultimately lots of visitors</p>
