Make Money: The whole truth, sincerely

11th March 2008: Google Adsense: Income = 0.00

Yup, you see it right.

No income and at least I am telling the truth not like the bunch of people who are still on blogspot but claim they expert at making money and that they are indeed are making tons of money, yeah right! (and pigs can fly!)

I have added Google Adsense. Yes, I am also one of those into making money, well not yet at the moment not from Adsense at least... but I can help dreaming also.... I have a dream (background music please...)

Any income is good income for me, realist? Hell yes!!! We live in a materialistic world baby!

I will let you in a secret, psst... come closer, I am making Adsense my "exit" door for all my readers.

Why do you have to use my "exit" door? Well it is for my son's education fund: Johnson Education Fund. Have a look at his cute and handsome face. Don't you think he deserve some support?

By the way, if you want a good laugh you can check my stats counter.... I can hear you laughing already...

Hey, I am working on my traffic ok, google pagerank don't come easy mate!

Adding tracking codes like analytics and site stats

I google the word analytics and site stats and this is what I get:

Google Analytics - user friendly but will only start recording after 24hrs or so....

statcounter.com - quick to set up and easy, immediate tracking of stats... amazing

but just having to add it, I am prepared to see my blog performance come good or bad (yikes) and hopefully some increase traffic to my blog.

You want the truth? You think you can handle the truth? Can you handle the truth!!!! You can't handle the truth!!!!
(familiar isn't it?)

Hmmm ... well here goes... wish me luck in my crusade into the blogging madness......

Did I choose the right tracking codes? Anyone care to enlighten me?

By the way, I would like to thank lilian for her 15 step tips of getting a new site running and indexed.

That reminds me I have to add addsense (hmmm yes the money part) and to submit my URL to main search engine (I am here, I am here index me)........ off to my next task........

WTF: optimaxseo.blogspot.com ?

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew Lim) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:05:00 +0000

Yes, wtf with optimaxseo.blogspot.com?

It is so difficult to keep a domain name short yet at the same time get some good keywords in there.

You will be hit with:

............ . blogspot.com Not available

urgh, ok,ok ............ . blogspot.com.... Not available

fark, oh wait ............ . blogspot.com .............Not available

damn it... ok one more ............ . blogspot.com........ Not available

AAAAARGH.............#@!#@#$@#$%&*&(*()

"Not more than seven characters for your domain name" I got this tip from sitepoint.com....
Aaaahrrghh well, what the hell, optimaxseo.blogspot.com it shall be.

Let me get straight to the point.

Yes, I am trying to optimize search result by putting keyword like seo into my domain name.

Hey I did some reading about it and what the heck I might as well optimize it. Every little bit helps I hope. I read about it from phoenixrealm

Yes, I am on blogspot and from this you will know that:

a) I am not making money from this, YET, but this is the first step (as proposed by my guru or sifu at her website 5xmom). I tell you that lady is really frank and straight to the point but I like. She is like Rambo in the blogging community, shooting everything in sight and very sharp at it mind you!

b) I am a farking amature and proud of it. Well at the moment until I become professional of course!

c) I am a blogger starting from zero, you know like those underdogs that always get beaten up but triumph in the end bwahaha

First.. then...... finally....... still dreaming

... and of course last but not least.....

d) a CHEAPSKATE... because I will wait till 3 months time then only I will buy a domain. I want to play play with blogger first then only go and play with the big fish.

Ok, that's enough about optimizing search engine optimization with domain name... my two cents worth.
