The Heaviest Task from Blogging

December 22nd, 2009

To be a professional blogger, you do have certain job that must accomplished. Such as SEO tweaking, designing, analyzing and of course updating the blog. After 2 years blogging, it’s come to me that the heaviest task is updating the blog. If you still new, maybe you won’t feel it. But after 2 years and it become your routine,  you’ll feel it’s very boring and tiring. Updating theme, doing some coding is probably has the same tiresome effect. But they do have exciting factor that unique whenever you’re doing it.

But updating post is something different. You will get bored eventually. And the worst of it, there’s some time when you’re not in a writing mood and the news just suddenly appear. Oh dear.. I don’t know, but i’m not in the mood for writing. Especially after lately i always got this bad mood whenever in the office. Yeah, some people is just plain suck (or maybe it’s just me) and always make my mood worse just by seeing their face. Sigh.. Gotta to do something about this..

Moving From Blogspot to Custom Domain

November 23rd, 2009

After 2 years using Blogspot domain, i decided to move into a custom domain. Although it’s pretty scary (you can lose all your traffic if you’re not doing right), i thought that this must be done. And, the result are..

I successfully move into a custom domain without much of losing traffics. The process takes a week, and during the process, i got declining traffic as predicted. But after my new domain got indexed properly, my traffics now is almost the same like before moving. I will tell you some my tips to move your domain if i got more spare time ;)

My First Forums! ^^

November 23rd, 2009

At last i have my first forums! After moving my Dota-Blog, i add a forums. I’m using PHPBB for the engine. Although the best script is maybe VBulletin, but after several thought, i think it’s better to use the free script and see the reaction, before using a pay script (VBulletin cost you $195). Well, let’s hope things going well. And say welcome to my first forums, Dota-Forums! ^^

My First Adbrite Check Payment

November 23rd, 2009

Yeah, after 2 years from sign-up on Adbrite, i got my first check delivered. The amount of the check is not very big, because i just wanna know how the Adbrite system work. And here’s my review on Adbrite payment system.

  1. You set your minimum payment.
  2. After you got enough revenue, go away for 6 months, because you must wait that long until your check got delivered ~_~
  3. After 6 months, check again your payment status. It should be delivered now.
  4. Wait for several days (depends on your country).
  5. And you got your Adbrite check..

To be honest, after i getting my Adbrite check, i replace all their ads with Adsense. Adsense is far more superior and faster on getting payment..

I’ve Got Smart Priced?

September 17th, 2009

I don’t know.. But somehow my click pay rate is declining :( While it can reach for $0.1 last month, now it’s only $0.03 on average. I hope this is just for a while.. If not, maybe i should figure it somehow if i got smart priced by Google..

ProjectWonderful Payment Sent

September 17th, 2009

At last, i just got payment from ProjectWonderful. Actually this is my second payment. But this payment is pretty big compared to the previous one. For some reason, i got lucky that some people competing on my Dota Blog spot and caused the rate increase into $2.5 a day ^^ But today it’s back to normal again -_- Anyway, together with the previous infolinks withdrawal, now i can pay for my next year hosting bill :)

First InfoLinks Payments

September 2nd, 2009

Yay! After my Infolinks payment got pending last month, yesterday i got email from paypal that said the Infolinks send me payment :D Well, it’s not much, but it still above my expectation ^^ $200 is pretty much helping me in paying my next year hosting payment which is $480 -_- Now, i’m still waiting for the Adbrite. Gosh! I wish i have another choice.. Adbrite is so slow on take care of the payment. What make it worse is that it still using check! Come on man..

Google give Comment Feature!

December 16th, 2008
Now you can give comment on Google search result

Now you can give comment on Google search result

Wow, i just saw it today when testing some keywords on Google about my Dota-Allstars blog. And here it is, a new feature is introduced by Google. Now you can give a comment on the Google search result. You can even delete and promote a search result. But i’m still wondering wether your promotion can have effect or just for your personal queries. Despite of that, i think this feature will give the user a more interactive way of searching and not just quietly accept the result. Neat!
