I realize many problogger's blog have a "Contact Me" link in their site. When you click it, it will bring you to a contact form which allow you to send a message to the owner of the blog.



I think it is a must to have a contact page in your blog so that whenever your reader have question or anything want to talk to you, they can just drop their message at the contact form.



This enable you to stealth your original email address and also speed up time. As to me, whenever I click an email link, my Microsoft Outlook will load very slow and make my computer laggy.



For Blogger user, there isn't a contact page for blogger. What you can do is sign up for Contactify which creates a contact page for you. When you click on the Email Me at the navigation area above, it will bring you to a new page which allows you to type in your message then send to me.

So if you got any question, you can just email me and I hope I can help you. =]

2000 MyBlogLogs Project

Alvin from gathersuccess.com had created a project for MyBlogLog members. I am a member and I love MyBlogLogs.

Today I talk a lot about nofollow, haha. I found a ULTIMATE list on how to remove "nofollow" tags and dofollow plugins for your blog. A wide range of blog platform supported.

Thanks Andy for writing up this.

I just made some tweaks to my blog and now my blog follow you. You can get a linkback when you drop me a comment. =]



Almost all blog platforms by default have nofollow tag. No Follow is probably to fight spam as when you post a link on a comment area where that blog have No Follow, your link will not count as a linkback from that blog. Thus, does not increase Technorati Authority.

Benefits :
If remove the "nofollow" tag from your blog, whenever someone write a comment, he or she gets a linkback from this blog. It's also a win-win situation as this encourage reader to drop me a comment and he gets a linkback, which then increase Pagerank and Technorati rank.

Read here on how to remove "nofollow" tag on your blog.


After removing "nofollow" tag, your blog is now "Do Follow". ^^

Recently, I wrote about my Technorati ranking and authority problem. Now it's working now and back online. Thanks to the effective support forum in Technorati. I tried to email them last time but didn't get their reply, so I decided to post my problem at their forum. Very fast, now my ranking and authority is working again. Cheer for me =]

After :
Yesterday I wrote about writing comment in the same page for blogger blog which is intergrating iframe for comment window in a the same page of a blog post. I now found out a new way to make your commenting system looks like Wordpress commenting system which doesn't requires iframe and you can just type your comment in the comment form.



You can now do this easily with Haloscan. Sign up an account at Haloscan and then click install at the submenu. Choose the blog service you use which is Blogger (New Version) then follow instruction on screen, you will have your comment form in your post very soon.

With this, your blog will look more professional and will not annoyed by popup comment.

However, I am still figuring which code to edit because at my homepage, whenever someone click on the comment a popup still appear, I need to link the comment to my post area, anybody know how to?

With AdesClrPicker, you can do the same much faster. With their small and fast color picker tool, you don't have to wait for Photoshop to load just to capture one color from the screen and the software is not expensive too, only at $9.99. Easy right?

PayPerPost Paid Me!

Now I only know the payment system of PayPerPost is in monthly basis. Yesterday night, before I went to bed, I check my Gmail inbox then surprisingly found out that they sent me an email saying that they have credited money into my PayPal account. I excited but I was too sleepy and just went to bed. Just now when came back from school, I straight go check out my PayPal account and YES! They sent me my first payment. $6, although it is quite a small amount, at least it's better than nothing right?



PayPerPost is a blog advertising service that pays you to blog. In short, you write short review and you get paid. Join PayPerPost now and start making money like me! Are you doing well with PayPerPost?
I need to thank Jack for exploring this feature. Now you can comment within post on a Blogger blog. Usually, when you want to comment in a post, you click on the Post A Comment link then a new window will pop-up or bring you into a new site which is mainly for your comment. This is one of the disadvantage of using FREE Blogger blogging service.

Reader sometimes lazy to click or dislike the popup window, thus you get less feedbacks.

While in Wordpress, user can just simply type in their name, URL and email and message at the comment box which appear in the same page of a post then hit a button, his comment will then appear.

CLICK HERE FOR TUTORIAL

With this tutorial by Jack, you can now post comment within the post page. This uses iframe, so below this post, you will find a little box showing the comment page which should be popup. After posting your comment, you will see it immediately. Isn't that cool?



If you have any problem, you can drop me a message at the comment area or contact me via the contact link tab above.

Ok last time I had a problem with my Windows Live Messenger. It always sign in sign out sign in sign out. So annoying and make my computer so laggy. Last Friday, I scan my PC with Spyware Doctor and clear all the stupid spyware, surprisingly on that night, my WLM didn't sign out. Happy of course, but now the problem come back again. I somemore scan virus, 0 threats, don't know why I got this problem! I can't chat with my friend smoothly already, it will separate us for a few minutes then only can chat back. Sigh.
Scary. 2 days ago, Hongkiat.com was hacked. The site that I read often about making money online and technology. So what he advise people out there who uses Wordpress always upgrade your Wordpress to the latest version.

The image “http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/defaced.png” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Anyway, the site is back online. Luckily I am using Blogger service, there are disadvantages and sounds so unprofessional, but I will soon ported this blog to Wordpress when I save enough money for hosting.
One of the method that will help you gain a little traffic and draw some new visitor to your website is by Blog Hopping. Blog Hopping is actually that you goes around blog, then you leave a message at someone's tagboard or comment area. From this blog, you click on the link to another blog then click on link from another blog to ANOTHER blog. You hop here hop there.

When you leave a message at someone's tagboard, somehow the owner of the blog will check out your blog. I don't have a tagboard here. Will install soon. Or if don't have tagboard, you hop to other blog, then you didn't even read the content you hop to another blog again, then your little avatar will appear on the Blog Social Service like BumpZee, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog.

Does doing these really help you gain traffic?
I think is yes BUT.
Ok, let's talk about yes. When you tag somebody, curiosity of someone will make him come to your site and take a look. If he is a avid blogger, he somehow will read your post and comment you. Then you gain a new visitor. If keep doing this, more and more curious people will come to your site. But this take a lot of times, don't be lazy, make money online need patience, haha.

BUT, when you do these - tagging, hopping, comment unrelated to topic. People will just think that you are trying to gain traffic. Message like this : Cool blog, visit mine too! or You got a nice site. Check out mine :), people sure think you are drawing traffic and not really reading his blog.

Try leaving different message. Read his post, discuss about it or say your opinion on it, then only in the end ask him to visit your blog, or don't, because there is a link on your name when your post a comment/tag.

I do blog hopping and it works, but I always lazy. Haha. Hey I shouldn't be lazy. But it's the best to deliver good content rather than non-updated blog and then do blog hopping just for gaining traffic.

My Technorati Problems



Do you use Technorati? I have 5 blog register with Technorati. If you don't know what is Technorati, then I'll tell you what it is now. Very simple, Technorati is one of the blog ranking site like Alexa or Google Page Rank, and then it's also a blog directories where you can find lots of cool blog, a blog search. Higher Technorati rank means easier to get accept for ad publisher account and higher pay post.



Even one of my very old retired blog have 3 authority.

I don't why I have this problems. I have blogs link to this site, but at Technorati it shows "No authority yet" although they show 134 blog reactions which mean 134 blog link to this site.



I tried contact Technorati but no reply from them. Now I just submit a post regarding the problem at their forum and waiting for people's help and reply. If I my authority doesn't gain, my Technorati rank will be low and I will be rejected when signing up ad publisher service.

Do you face this problem too? Or you know any solution that can help me?

Make Money Online List

I now come up with a list advertising service, sponsored review and other source that can help you make money online. FYI, all of this is safe.

1. Google Adsense
The very popular, used by many user in many site and blogs. You place the contextual ads on your site then when someone click on it, you earn. You can also earn by referring products when like Firefox, Google Pack, when people download and install the program, you will earn $1. After you accumulate $100, you are ready to cash out, your payment will be send by check via post.

2. Text Link Ads / TLA
If you have a new blog, you will probably be rejected unless your blog got real GOOD traffic. So, if you got a blog that always have readers and new visitors, it's good to sign up for TLA. When your blog is approved, you place the link code in your blog. Then wait for Advertiser to buy link on it, no click is require. You get payment every end of the month. Rejected? Nevermind, try their Affiliates program.

3. Advertlets
Advertlets is a Malaysia based Internet advertising company. It's not contexual ads, but it need visitor to do a poll on the poll+ads area which user place on his site. Then according to the poll, Advertlets will decide which ads to show on the site. This is more for Asian user as the advertisement still more for Malaysian. Not a good choice because the payout currency is in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) which is lower than US$. Anyway, you can give it a try.

4. Nuffnang
Like Advertlets, it is made in Malaysia. It's only for Malaysian and Singapore. Nuffnang promised to extend their network to other country in the future. Their payout rate is RM50/S$50. They often organize event like special movie screening, bloggers gathering for bloggers here.

5. Adbrite
Ok, I didn't use this before. According to KUMIKO, this is not recommended. However, I see many sites using this ad service. Maybe you can give it a try then let me know whether it's good or not.

6. Friend Finder
Looking for chat partner or life partner? Join Friend Finder now. You will think, HUH? How to make money with Friend Finder? It's easy, just invite your friend to join FriendFinder, and every woman signed up you'll get $2 while man $1. So good right? Can meet new friends and make money at the same time.

7. PayPerPost
The kinda famous paid post website. I used this too. Earning some money from it. For blog with 0 pagerank, you can find opportunity for as low as $5 to write about, then with that money at least you can get yourself a domain for you blog. 5xmom earned $9k from writing paid post. So why don't you start making money online with it? So easy, write, submit, wait for payout. This is good for bloggers, as you can blog while earning money just with some writings.

8. Smorty
Another paid post company. Still got many paid post company below. This is one of it. I tried Smorty a few weeks ago, and Smorty is the first one to pay me. I earned my first dollar online with Smorty. They payout very fast, weekly based and not monthly.

9. Bloggerwave
Paid post service. A kinda new service and I got 2 post approved already. Can't wait for the payout by the end of the month.

10. Blogsvertise
Not much to say. Another paid post service. Got paid by them.

11. Sponsored Review
Although it is a paid post service, it works like this, you look for an advertiser than you place your bid on the post. When the advertiser approve your bid, you ready to blog then submit then wait for approval and payout again.

12. Adbux
You don't need to place any code on your site. What you are require to do is click on ads and refer your friend to join. It's the easiest way to make money online

13. ClickForCents
Similar with Adbux, but each click is different $ instead of all ads in Adbux is $0.01.

14. Xpango
Not making money online but it is getting free gift online. You invite your friend to sign up, every sign up helps you earn a credit. You need the credit to get your free gift like Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, LG Prada, Nokia mobile phone, PSP, iPod and more.

15. LinkWorth (thanks Stoddart)
It's like combination of Adsense and PayPerPost. You sign up and you can choose from a few service they offered like paid post, ads on your site. From the site, it says that you earn 70% of ad revenue. Pretty cool.

16. BidVertiser
You place contexual ads in your blog according to the topic you write. So almost similar to Adsense, PPC (Pay per Click), so when people click on it, you get $. You are required to choose a category for you blog, then BidVertiser will shows ads related to the category of your blog. It pays using PayPal.

17. Chitika
If you have a site or blog that review product like gaming peripherals, computer hardware, gadgets or others. This is good for you, you can use Chitika eMiniMalls. The eMiniMalls is a CPC (Cost per Click) ads service for you site. It display products related to your sites and when people click on it, it bring them straight to the online stores.

18. Oxado (thanks TerryG)

The good is no traffic minimum and monthly payments. Sign up now!

iPhone, 3 More Days.

Apple very anticipating iPhone will be releasing on 29 June. Which mean 3/4 more days later. Er, not here in Malaysia but in the States. Why not ASIA?!! Don't know why, my phone just spoiled and I need a new phone. However, iPhone is too expensive is way out of my budget.



So basically what iPhone can do is :
-Touch screen keypad, which your thumb not stylus.
-Full HTML Email
-Wifi
-2 megapixel camera
-Google Maps
-You Tube
-Web Browser
-iPod + Video


What I don't like about the iPhone is :
-No 3G.
-Capacity too low, need more like 15GB, 30 GB.
-That's all I think.

Apple release the phone on a special time, not on 0000 hours 29 June but at 6pm, 29 June. So people, geeks, freaks, Apple fanboy will get it after working hour.

If I got a chance to own that phone, I would love to. =)

Why I am NOT Using PayPerPost Here?

There are some readers email me to use PayPerPost to make money. FYI, I am using PayPerPost, but not on this blog. I do write sponsored post on my personal weblog. According to PayPerPost, a blog must be 90 days old only can sign up for it. So how old is this blog? 39 days, 51 days to go until I can do paid post here. So if you are new to making money online, you can try PayPerPost, and write a short review on the advertiser's product, then you get paid. Easy right? Sign up now!
