Blogging And Name Association

2012-12-19T10:56:00.001-08:00

Just do it! By that I meant continue to blog, writing original content, or at least guest-posting to make your blog's presence felt. Hence be it your name or blog's readers will be growing, it will be decided by itself, win-win situation!

Blogging And Name Association: Building Your Name? Or Building Your Blog?

It's a tough decision that a blogger must make, especially as more traffic and attention start surrounding your website. As your blog starts getting more recognition, how do you decide what to brand more? Do you want to push your own name to expand on future opportunities apart from the blog? Or have you put so much work into your blog that you rather let the name speak for itself?

It isn't a question of hedonism or a call for attention – we as bloggers already have developed a sort of personal demand of attention on the Internet. Otherwise, why bother writing anything in the first place?

Everyone has their own agenda with their own blog, and while pushing the blog name can bring about incredible results, knowing who is behind it can be even better. It's obviously easier to name off one blog after another in the niche of what you write, but can you name the people who write and operate these sites? Does not knowing stimulate curiosity? Or could it raise suspicion about the credibility of the blog since there is a severe lack of human quality?

It's hard for me to say that you MUST attach your name to your blog, because some people do find comfort or even value to maintaining anonymity. Some even write under pseudonyms for personal reasons, protection, etc. But one good blog opens up the world to other possibilities, and when the Internet audience can point your name out – that is, associate your name to your blog – you're putting yourself in a very strong position for future endeavors.

Think about the blogs out there that have really made a name for themselves. When I think a blog like SEOmoz, I immediately associate with Rand Fishkin. It doesn't have anything to do with him being the CEO of the company, but rather, he does an excellent job relating his experiences to his writing. They do not exist separately.

Blogs that provide excellent content, intricate thought and fresh insight but don't provide a real sense of connection to the writer feel very impersonal to me. One might argue that it is enough just let the “author bio” speak enough in terms of personalization, but this is ubiquitous enough in blogging. True personal branding to the blog means creating a dialogue out of a monologue. The reader feels that he/she is conversing with the writer.

While it is an extreme example, the late journalist Hunter S. Thompson launched off a new string of “gonzo journalism” - where the news was being spoken, not read in a marquee form. That is the reason his journalism is known as his journalism. This same type of power can be applied to the blogger.

I think that this type of association is something that can't be forced, but rather, a gradual relational build. Simple acts can mean letting your audience becoming more familiarized with you as a person on top of your blog. If your Twitter handle or Facebook page is only named as the blog's name, you'll still have plenty to gain, but there is more when your readers know who they are speaking to.

That is a lesson I learned (and am still learning) for my own tech blog, DX3. While I've made more effort to attach my name to DX3, my Twitter handle right now is simply @DX3tech. This is okay, but I want more people to know that it is me, Ezra, who provides the content.

Once again I will reiterate that this association can't be expected out of everyone, since the goals with my blog may not be the same as yours. But looking at the trends of successful blogs in the past, and as long as you keep a clean image, you could stand to gain much more out of your blogging experience.

Ezra Melino is a tech and science blogger out of the United States. His blog, DX3, covers the relationship between humans and technologies that are developed.

The Little That Makes The Difference With Internet Marketing

2012-09-25T20:58:00.001-07:00

New to Internet Marketing or Making Money Online?

If you are already venturing into making money online, have you Received Your 2nd Clickbank Check?** Because many have not even reached here despite months if not years of trying. When you had, this is probably not the info that could benefit your online busineses anymore; and I advise you to seek further relevant info elsewhere. But if you are a Newbie to this ever challenging yet very rewarding industry, read on please.

Internet Marketing had never been so easy; thanks to the much anticipated step-by-step internet marketing coaching program DotComSecrets X by Russell Brunson; starting with a mere US$ 1/- in the first 30 day. Kindly refer to this comment by Pam on WarriorForum

I am a member of dot com secrets x and am also in my second month with them. I have seen some good results. Not huge, like the guy who posted above, but i did make back more than i paid for my membership. $1 first month and $97 after that. It's basically a video training course on how to make money online and Russell has teamed up with some people to offer some special deals on advertising. That is all good, but with these advertisers, (safelist owners) you won't make any cash if you're not in the mmo [make money online] or im [internet marketing] niche.

The training however is the main selling point for dotcomsecretsx and even though i've been making a full time income online for over 11 years, i still managed to pick up a couple of gems. For newbies this would be a great place to start and if you're in the i.m niche you should see some results if you follow the program. Having said that, you could probably find the same information elsewhere and it won't cost you a monthly fee, but i do like way it's all laid out and presented in a step by step fashion in dotcomsecretsx and the training is updated often which is why they probably have the monthly fee.

They do provide squeeze pages for you to promote dotcomsecrtesx and build your own email list.....................

I know i went all over the place with this review and there was no proper structure. Sorry about that, i'm doing too many things at once.

Pam - War Room Member

What can one expect from this $1/- DotComSecrets X Coaching Program?

Great clear, easy to follow video training
Training provided in short bite sized easy to digest pieces
Tested, high converting offers
Quick start guide
Getting “unstuck” webinar (really good)
Step by step on using both paid and free methods of traffic generation
Training broken into managable day by day sections
Access to members only Facebook group that is very active

Finally, I have this to say, paying $1/- for a 30-day online training is easier said than done; why? While most felt 'no sweat' paying the $1/-, but not many can ensure the 30-day long training with Strict Discipline. That's the little that makes the difference with internet marketing. Don't take my word for it; give it a try, what is there you have got to loose....? What is the worst that could happen when you part with this $1/-?

Gangnam Style As I See It

2012-09-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

“If it ranks number one in the Billboard chart, then I will perform ‘Gangnam Style’ topless in a place where everyone can watch,” Psy told a news conference on his return from the United States. In reality what's so great about Gangnam Style; I wonder?

As I watch the viseo below many times over from YouTube to Facebook etc, this is what I have noticed and observed in a nutshell:

Fresh Idea - Something new that would surely catches one's attention. Good 'First Impression' planting into viewers' mind.
Hate First - Since it is so fresh an idea, one tend to hate it at first; especially the 'ugly-looking' horse dance routine. For without the 'horse dance' hatred, how can we discover the loving and fun part; right?
Humorous - makes viewer can't help but wanna sing along, tap and dance to its humorous tune eventually; after more viewings.
Psy Dared To Dream Big - "Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism that refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangnam district of Seoul, where people are trendy, hip and exude a certain supposed "class". The term was listed in Time's weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with lavish lifestyles in Seoul’s Gangnam district. In a CNN interview, PSY has compared Gangnam to Beverly Hills, California. - Wikipedia
Personally, reminds me of the feelings I had when I first saw Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
But if there is one single word about it all; it must be UNCONVENTIONAL all the way!

SEOUL: A chubby South Korean singer who has taken the pop world by storm, topping Apple’s Itune downloads and getting 270 million Youtube views, has vowed to perform his “Gangnam Style” hit topless if it reaches number one. - Tribune

In conclusion, Gangnam Style is the referring material to study if one wants to launch a new idea, product or services in this modern IT world. Now that it had even brought tons of eager tourists to Seoul's Gangnam district; need I say more about this Korean Marketing approach?

Latest How To Place AdSense Codes To The Middle Of Blogger Post

2012-09-24T17:02:00.002-07:00

Blogger to me is a great platform to generate constant residue income streams; and the best part was, its free all the way! Generating income with Blogger is made easier with Google AdSense.

Just place our Adsense ad codes either by default via Blogger Layout or HTML mode when composing blog content.

Whenever I used the later, normally I would like to place the ad codes in such a way that it appeared at the center of the blog content like below:

-->

Prior to this, to align our ad codes to the centre can be easily done by just placing <center><your AdSense code></center> and that would be all; but lately I noticed some changes with Blogger that I just can't get it right any-more.

I started sourcing with Google but just couldn't find the right solution I wanted. My patience got the better of me that I had to get the answer by hook or crook.

After about an hour or so, I finally got it right; here's how:

After placing your ad code from your Blogger New Post HTML mode, go back to Compose and Align your --> ad code to the Middle using the Alignment Gadget as shown above [right]. Try it and see how it goes....

Where Do I Go From Here With e-Marketing

2012-09-23T10:20:00.000-07:00

Its been quite a while since I last wrote on this blog; maybe I don't like to share the personal or feeling side of me. However, the last April Penguin updates had adversely affected much of my day-to-day e-marketing activities, where searches on my sites and blogs had gone down tremendously.

-->

I had read that there were even proposal that suggested Google to render Page Rank irrelevant what not. Well, while I am in no position to even suggest anything; what I rather do instead was to look for alternative[s] of generating more traffic / money to my affiliate sites and blogs.

In the course of my searches, I thought the content in this Free Video about Mobile Traffic was a good choice to consider and render conventional Search Engine Optimization [SEO] Irrelevant!

WAZZUB - The Power Of "We" Or April Fools' Joke

2012-01-02T04:31:00.000-08:00

I received an email today and joined immediately; i thought you should too! Next I was lead to the following video:-

*******

Watch and listen carefully at/on 7 minutes 40 second of this YouTube, I thought I heard $500,000/- instead of what was portrayed which is $ 500,000,000/-; was it a silly mistake? scam? or deliberately executed????? Only God knows! ********

Anyway, I gave it the benefit of the doubt! Doesn't it looked too good to be true?????

"It's a fact: companies like Google or Facebook earn billions of $$$ every quarter just because we, the Internet users use their services. Facebook is worth more than 50 billion $$$ just because of their huge number of registered users. It is time to understand, that we “the users” decide who is earning the big money. WAZZUB is the first truly global community that pays us “the users”, just for choosing them as our homepage."

+++ FREE FOREVER +++ NOTHING TO DOWNLOAD +++ NO JOB TO DO +++

"It's so easy: the more users that join the WAZZUB Family for free, the more money we “the users” will earn!
Example: If you invite just 5 people to join for free and they do the same 5 levels deep, you could earn about $4,000 every month PASSIVELY for life, doing NOTHING different than you already do everyday.

What if everyone invited just 10 people? That amount would EXPLODE to: $111,110 every month. There is NO limit!"
The more people you invite the more money you'll earn. Period! Let's Discover the Power of “We”!
On January 2nd, 2012 8:00 pm PST (UTC–08:00) we will start the official WAZZUB Prelaunch. Take advantage now by being one of the first to start building your group. Just enter your email address and click “JOIN" [at the bottom of the said page]

My conclusion: Never Assumed; for it would only make an ASS Out Of U & Me! There is Only One Way to Find Out whether the above-mentioned were a scam or not; That is to JOIN in Now and experience it as time goes on..... However, the WAZZUB Homepage would only be Launched Officially on April 1st 2012; what a day! Could it be just another April Fools' Joke??? Need we keep our fingers crossed??????

"Yes, you'll get paid and all you'll have to do is choose WAZZUB as your home page on April 1st/2012 when they fully launch their state-of-the-art home page. That's it!"

Cloaking of Affiliate Links Irrelevant with Plimus

2011-12-26T07:48:00.000-08:00

-->

If you're into affiliate mrketing, in particular digital products download, chances are you're either marketing with Clickbank or Plimus; or both! Although they both positioned their targetted market in seperate ways, ultimately, digital products download [immediately upon purchased] cuts down lots of hassles as compared to those physical affiliate products like food supplements, smartphones or tv which takes days to be delivered to the buyer.

Compare the following affiliate link formats:-

These are SOME typical affiliate links with Clickbank:

- the conventional way - http://yourCLICKBANKid.ETVCORP.hop.clickbank.net/

Click on the abovementioned link and this is what you shall see:-

http://www.satellitedirect.com/?hop=0

where the 0 or any code for eg. johnmaxx at the end of the links which is the

Clickbank affiliate marketing account holder's nickname ID.

Henceforth, a click on such affiliate links leads to an affiliate webpage and when an online transection occured affiliate commisions ranging anything from 50 to 75% would be paid to the said Clickbank affiliate marketeer; awesome right? That is why online marketing in general and affiliate marketing is going places these days. Many make money online from home millionaires were born out of such affiliate marketing.

On the other hand, having the abovementioned nickname replaced with your own Clickbank's nickname ID means to say that the affiliate commissions go to the later; supposely an affiliate link theft or internet hijacker so to say. Every moment of the day, this illigal way of shortchanging and siphoning away affiliate links from genuine affiliate marketeers like you and me are happenning at an alarming phase. Millions of dollors are lost to these unscropulous 'hackers'.

Take another instant where you'd generate your Clickbank affiliate codes right from the Promote tab at the Marketplace, this is probably what you can get:-

http://53af4do6lnejs2n84uldzhandw.hop.clickbank.net/ - A

[ugly looking right?]

A click on this link lead you to a site like this:-

http://www.satellitedirect.com/?hop=feedsblogg

Still, the affiliate's nickname [feedsblogg] is still being exposed under the broad day light. Either codes still results to having our affiliate links being EASILY replaced by someones else hence your commisions lost.

One of the solutions to this blue which is FREE online is to cloak those links, check the ViralURL out.

Among its benefits are:-

- Prevent the commission thieves stealing YOUR hard earned money!
- Kick long and ugly links to the curb - With ViralURL you can make short, Pretty links in Seconds!
- See how many people clicked on your link, see where they came from and how many times they clicked
- See what is working by easily tracking optins & conversion stats with your Free ViralURL Account! This is VITAL to your success!
- Earn HIGHLY Effective advertising Exposure, simply by making your links look pretty with our shortener and cloaker & ...
- At the same time Build your OWN mailing list, on total autopilot from your shortened and cloaked links!

The same abovementioned link when cloak with ViralURL can be as follows:-

http://viralurl.com/s/2ef
[ It is still ugly looking?]

A click on this cloaked link shown that your clickbank nickname [ID] had been concealed from being replaced or affiliate links theft.

In fact, you can also adopt Clickbank's way of cloaking by visiting it Help Center > Affiliate Guides > Procting Your Affiliate Links. It looks something like this:-

HopLink Cloaker HTML:

<html>

<head>

<title>Loading page</title>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://AFFILIATE.VENDOR.hop.clickbank.net">

<script type="text/javascript">

url='http://AFFILIATE.VENDOR.hop.clickbank.net';

if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); }

else { top.location.href=url; }

</script>

</head>

<body>Loading

<a href="http://AFFILIATE.VENDOR.hop.clickbank.net">page</a>

</body>

</html>

So much from Clickbank, what if you promote your affilate links with Plimus? Try ckicking the Plimus link below:-

Register Download and Search 200 Million Movie Titles Worldwide with Cinema On Demand and this is where it leads us to http://cinema-on-demand.net/ where we wouldn't see any affiliate's ID being shown.

Henceforth, [that's why] I came to this opinion and came up with the abovementioned post titled - Cloaking of Affiliate Links Irrelevant with Plimus. Happy Affiliate Marketing.

Google's Red Ocean's Success Contradicts Apple's Blue Ocean Strategy

2011-12-25T20:58:00.000-08:00

Consider the following:- Hamlet:
Why then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison. - Shakespeare - Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, 239–251 The above-mentioned caption is best supported with the successes behind and between "arch rival" Apple verses Google. While the former is a typical Blue Ocean Strategist, the later stayed put upgrading its present facilities; how unconventional between these two successes indeed. Read this inspiring article where towards the end this is what you'd see:-

It is also interesting to look at Google, because most of their products weren’t entering Blue Oceans. Search already existed before Google Search, e-mail already existed before Google Mail, web browsers before Google Chrome, and so on. They have become the leading internet company without creating Blue Oceans but improving existing technologies and products. Of course companies can make money doing this, in any industry, it’s the red oceans....

From the aforesaid, we can conclude that success cannot be achieved & determined by which strategies we'd adopted alone but much much more than that......for such as the key-man behind. Each and every one of those successes has essence of their own to be cherished, admired if not envied upon by others.

On a lighter yet sober note, the late Steve Jobs is still very much the Apple iPhone icon; although death but certainly not gone out of our memories. On the other hand, our Google CEO Larry Page is still very much alive yet 'unknown' by many up to this point of time. Perhaps this augurs well for the massive differences in marketing strategies, contradictions and positioning yet successes in their very own business endeavor.

On a niche note, I tried putting up Adsense's ads within this blog post's HTML content but to no avail; both Text & image/rich media ads. Do you have a problem with this too? In fact I'd tried with Nuffnang, its ads failed to show up too. What does this implied?

Blogger Blogspot Blog is transforming......but pls read my comment with regards to The Official Google Blog below on my Google+ :-

Or maybe you may like to frequent The Official Google Blog yourself, and read their reason[s] of delay in getting into Dynamic Views, if any later!

2012 Daily Internet Marketing Job Assignment With Ping.fm and Bulkping

2011-12-25T08:19:00.000-08:00

While many affiliate marketeers opted for Clickbank as their main source of affiliate income; but if I were you, I'd take a look, try it out with Plimus also and decides which suits us better, or both; won't you?

Dynamic Views - Update Upgrade Change Or Be Changed

2011-12-18T04:49:00.000-08:00

Watch this, its awesome! Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve - Napoleon Hill

A flying submarine or submersible aircraft is a craft able both to fly or travel under water.

Like the above-mentioned flying submarine, one of the most notable changes cum transformation made in the blogging industry of late was the introduction of Dynamic Views by Blogger.

Being the ultimate owner, Google obviously had her reasons of introducing the dynamic views template; but what I saw was the real underlying efforts by Google to render direct competition to Adword's revenue and indirect competition to AdSense publisher income irrelevant. What a smart move indeed!

To maintain at a formidable position with PROFITS in mind, Blogger had to inject new & unconventional ideas like the dynamic views templates and gave it a shot. You can also read this Blogger review and see for yourself Blogger's Opportunities, Strength, Weakness & Threats!

Google Blogger AdSense AdWords is left with no more choice but continue to update, upgrade, change for the better or be changed instead!

Nevertheless, instead of all those advantages already made known to the public, lets us look at what's lacking with Dynamic Views?

1. We cannot install foreign Gadgets, in particular those income generating ones like Amazon Associates, adBrite, Clicksor & Nuffnang etc thus making these competitors useless hence very much less appealing to potential advertisers.

2. We cannot install Clickbank RSS Feed to promote Clickbank's digital products download; perhaps the biggest threat yet to online money making industry.

3. LinkWithin, a very special FREE blog widget that appears under each post, linking to related stories from your blog archive is not allowed.

4. Snap Shots - the world's most popular FREE way to give your users a more fun and interactive experience on your site or blog is being denied when we adopted the Dynamic Views template also.

5. Even from within with Google's Adsense, we can only install two banners as compared to 3 banners and 3 links per page view using non-dynamic views templates. Less men meant more shares right? Or its in the pipeline?

6. Although I have strong confident that popular gadgets like Recent Post & Popular Post shall be made available within no time to make dynamic views more appealing, I suspect there must be something else that's up on Google's sleeves to gun down those competitors.

7. There must be more that I failed to mention; I leave it to others to relate their experience and views.

Last if not the least, if there's one suggestion I had with Dynamic Views, I proposed that anyone blogging with Dynamic Views template[s] be paid more handsomely for being loyal, for not using or not being able to use other money generating contextual online advertising gadgets other than Google AdSense - the first major contextual advertising network.

Chicken Pox's Alternative Therapy and May 13

2011-12-18T00:29:00.000-08:00

Late last night, I was told that my niece living next door was down with chicken pox; or at least the symptoms of it; how scary indeed. Why? Chickenpox is highly contagious from about 2 days before the rash appears until all the blisters are crusted over.

Chickenpox (varicella) is caused by a virus. It begins with a fever, followed by a rash of red pimples which become itchy sores that form scabs. Chickenpox usually affects children from one to 14 years. In young babies, adults or people with impaired immune system, chickenpox is more severe. Treatments include lotions to relieve itchiness, paracetamol (acetaminophen) for fever and the antiviral drug acyclovir. The review of trials found that acyclovir reduces the number of days of fever from chickenpox in otherwise healthy children, usually without adverse effects. It is not clear whether it improves sores and itching.

I had chickenpox during the May 13 curfew period; the darkest hour to date in our Malaysian history. Officially, 196 people were killed between 13 May and 31 July 1969 as a result of the riots, although journalists and other observers have stated much higher figures.

I was still living along Jalan Bandar Hilir ( Now Jalan Parameswara ) then; where our whole family lot had to endure the agony of curfew, self confinement with only an hour of break during the evening where we could get our daily food etc.

Under normal circumstances, we were not even allowed to open our windows and doors. We could only peep through these tiny little openings between our wooden doors and walls. By nightfall, all lights were to be put off or the army would come knocking and open fire as-well.

The were nothing to be seen except for the occasional passing of army trucks patrolling to and fro the streets.

In the decades since the riots, the Barisan Nasional coalition government which has ruled unabated since independence has pinned the blame for the incident solely on the opposition Democratic Action Party, which is Chinese-based.

However, many allege that the riots were simply a ploy by the Malay elites of UMNO, as part of their efforts to wrest power from the moderate Tunku Abdul Rahman – in which they succeeded – as well as to further their agenda of Malay supremacy which has dominated Malaysian government policy ever since. - Wikipedia

Back to chickenpox, it was not until in the late 90s that my wife was down with chickenpox; only this time we had already left Bandar Hilir, living in Ujong Pasir apartment instead.

Getting chickenpox during adulthood is more severe compare to minor; it could be fatal too. The pain within our bones were so unbearable and my wife was bedridden; 1st time in her life.

During this period, we were told to give her coconut water to cool her fever and pain down but we laughed. However, when we ran out of options to reduced her pain and discomfort; I forced myself to buy fresh coconut water in the hope of a miracle.

My wife was forced to take a big sip of coconut water and that was it; she felt an instant sense of relieve and regained her usual composure within the next minute; what a miracle indeed! Today, other than visiting the clinic, my wife would be amongst the 1st to recommend coconut water to anyone down with chickenpox; our niece included; that's the beauty of this 'alternative therapy"!

To end, when chickenpox had an 'alternative therapy" in coconut water, maintaining peace and harmony in Malaysia should have an 'alternative therapy" too, right? What could it be?????

I recon that to begin with, may all newborns as of Jan 1 2012 be classified as Malaysian citizen rather than by our current ethnicity i.e. Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban etc. Next, do without classification by religion for religion is our individual 'relationship' with The Almighty.

Eventually, we shall meet HIM and be held answerable to HIM and HIM only; not any other Tom, Dick and Harry politicians right??????

No Religion In Politic To Begin With

Its an open secret that the current communist People's Republic of China's authority doesn't like His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In fact I remember one Chinese spokesman referring him as the devil - pardon, thousand apology!

However, in his latest publication entitled BEYOND RELIGION; Ethics for a Whole World, he must have noticed many many things which our current religion[s] of the world couldn't do.

Dalai Lama - 7 Dec 2011 - Public

In his new book "Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World" His Holiness the Dalai Lama argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather he proposes a system of secular ethics that transcends religion as a way to recognize our common humanity and so contributes to a global human community based on understanding and mutual respect. http://dalaila.ma/sqdkpL

Reflecting on the current social political happenings in Malaysia, things must have taken a back turn for the worse of late, where religion[s] had been misused if not abused by certain quarters...... towards their personal and political vendetta.

Gone were those days where we Malaysian considered religion[s] sacred, over and above everything we do; in particular politics - dammed bloody dirty shit! In fact, religion[s] had been abused to camouflage against the current 4th most corrupted nation in the world; condone by the ruling government.

For the first decade of the new century, Malaysia has lost a staggering RM1.08 trillion (US$338 billion) in illicit outflows which is the fourth highest in the developing world.

Today, these unscrupulous politicians ride on the serenity of religion[s] to strengthen their political grib onto powers. Portraying as holy and religious as possible yet behind the scene, underlying sins like rape, murder, and especially corruption is blistering majority of these ruling politicians.

Come the 13th General Election, which is scheduled anytime between now and Mar 7th 2013, things were set to change for the better. Corruption or rather fighting corruption shall be the main agenda of the next ruling government of Malaysia.

Personally, there shall be no lasting peace in Malaysia if religion[s] were continued to be abused within our political framework. After-all, Malaysia was born with a multiracial beginning, we ought to appreciate the differences to live harmoniously as Malaysian - Unity In Diversity.
