Les Copaque (entry 2)



In my previous entry I have written about the Les Copaque production. In this few months the team gain more attention than before. The name of the company itself sound great. It sounds like french word, but actually not. Les means "the" in the french language. In Malay language les copaque can be understood as "last kopak". It could be last chance, last money or last oppurtunity.

Let see what they have achieved. One of their achievement was the short film awards that they have win in last January.
The award give a signal that a 3d animation movie is now gaining his place in the heart of Malaysian people.

For more information about their latest project on geng:The Movie, read what they wrote in their own production blog.

The official company website can be reached here. Les Copaque produktion.

High Potential Niche





Are you planning to monetized your site using adsense or yahoo publisher or any advertising programm? ever heard about niche? dont know what niche is suitable for your site?

people nowadays are tired to read articles about niche. many articles just talk about already used,explored and repeated niche in the advertisement industry.

Niche like automotive (eg sport car, car industry, car review etc), health, how to, internet issues and others are too general and too common nowadays.

Finding HIGH potential keyword niches for your websites is essential to eliminate competition. If you just start to monetize your website, it will really hard to cope with others who is ready to spend big money to get listed in the search engine by using particular script, buy e-books, attending seminar etc etc.



As I wrote in the previous article, basically there are only three Golden Rules to achieve high rank in the search engine, thus atracting more visitors to your site.

1. Contents (keywords, articles, originality, etc etc)
2. Search engine Optimization
3. Niche

Many people talk about niche. But many of them dont know how to tackle an up to date or relevant niche. An up to date niche will contribute to a high potential CPM or CPC (refer here for more info about CPC and CPM.)

High potential niche depends on:
1. Current hot issue (global climate, gulf crisis, visit Malaysia 2007 etc)
2. Your target group of your site visitors (students, engineers, widow etc etc)
3. Continuous interesting issue (sex and health, how to etc)

So what and which niche suit your website and your ability? You must maintain the originality of your website as many as you can. Eventhough it is not prohibited to include a credited articles or materials, but be proffesional.

Tips for Malaysian Adsense freak: Why dont give a try to manipulate the visit malaysia 2007 campaign. Use all the sources and informations that you read, hear and smell from the medias and start build your monetize website!

Second and Third Adsense Cheque


Within 3 months since the first payment of my Adsense, my Adsense total earning is now moving faster than before. After joining the Adsense programm in July 2006, I manage to get my first 100USD within 4 months that is in November 06. Now per month I manage to get 40-50 USD, means that the cycle reduce.

I placed my Adsense code in two websites that have high potential niche in the net. (I will explain later) . The first website I use CMS script and the second one is runnning with free hosting ie. blogspot.com

What I can say the strategies and SEO technique are starting to show a good result.

So the equation is like this. If two websites with high potential niche can contribute at the moment averagely 45 USD per month, how about if I have another two? It could be that every month I can get extra income of 100 USD or more. Instead I just want to fill my free time and learn soemthing new.

  • Building website: 3 days
  • Gather informations: 4 days
  • Setup the site: 1 day
  • Place the Adsense code: less than 5 minutes!

So wait for my next entry on how to build a monetised website using the high potential niche

How to make visitor come again to your blog?


In the previous entry, I have written about the Golden Rules regarding driving traffic to your blog. BY this time your traffic blog should be little bit increasing. MOst if them are first timer. It is important too, to make sure the visitor of your blog continuously come to visit your blog. So, what should I do to make my first time blog readers not only come but stay? [add and edit] 5 Golden Rules to make your visitors keep visiting and stay.

  1. Provide them with "to be continue" material. For sure it should be an interesting material. Cut your long tutorial into serial of short tutorial. How to make bussiness like banner and header part 1, part 2 etc etc. Example of 4 Series on how to make your proffesional header.
  2. Use Feed readers and Feedgators. The power of RSS and ATOM feed can not be denied. More and more internet surfers is now using feed to reduce the time of surfing and digging for information.
    Try Feedburners. They have been long enough in the scenario. What is feed? From Wiki:An aggregator or news aggregator is client software that uses a web feed to retrieve syndicated web content such as weblogs, podcasts, vlogs, and mainstream mass media websites, or in the case of a search aggregator, a customized set of search results.
  3. Dont forget to answer their comments and reviews. Even a short thank you will make the visitor be loyal to your blog.
  4. Make a lot of backlinks to your previous post. Thats why in the previous entry I do encourage you to write a serie of tutorial that contains separate parts. You might write the tutorial not in same page and same date , as it is time consuming and make your page untidy. eg Part 1 of 4 is written on 21.8.06 and the Part 2 is written few days later. By doing that you can combine your tutorial by linking them from one part to other part.
  5. Configure your BLOG in Technorati! Dont forget the power of technorati! Many bloggers have their own account in technorati. And they subscribe to many others blogs thru Technorati. It will make easier for your loyal readers to get informed your latest progress.

5 Factors that make Snap so cool


Snap has been announced one of TIME 50 best(coolest) websites. (They will soon overtake Google, believe me)

5 Factors that make Snap so cool

1. The technology they use. Snap is powered by AJAX. This make the search process become more attractive and interactive yet informative.

2. The partner they partnered with. Snap partner ranging from X1 Tech which desktop search software is the markt leader in the industry, DMOZ an open source directory and the famous what-is-based search engine ie Ask.com
A complete package of a future search engine

3. Bill Gross. This guy is really awsome.
About Bill.
Bill's search experience includes Lotus Magellan, Knowledge Adventure, CitySearch (acquired by Ticketmaster), and GoTo/Overture (acquired by Yahoo). With Overture, Bill is credited with creating the modern search monetization model that most of today's search engines are built on. Beyond Search, Bill has founded a range of companies from CarsDirect (Internet Brands) to Energy Innovations to Insider Pages to Picasa (acquired by Google).

4. Dare to differ. Snap is not a Text-In and Text-out type search engine, but SNAP visualise the search result, helping the user to judge a
better result. The search result appear as a page of the website on the right side of Snap. You can even use the Javascript base scroll bar to scroll on your search result. Now we understand why 'A picture speaks more than words'

5. They feature a new plan of advertising for web publisher and advertiser. The CPA (cost per action) is what they offer for advertiser.

You pay only when you get the action you want from the customer, giving you maximum flexibility (a customer "action" can be a purchase, download, registration, subscription, lead, or just a click).

The best Sitemap recommended by Google is the one which generated which .xml extension. It allows search engine bots to index non html files like Macromedia Flash or JavaScript. It is because swf and javascript menus do not include HTML links.

Autosurf = PONZI Scheme


What is ponzi scheme? Ponzi schemes are a type of illegal pyramid scheme named after the notorious CHarles Ponzi, an Italy immigrant who duped thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme back in the 1920s.

The principe is simple, the Ponzi scheme works on the "rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul" principle, as money from new investors is used to pay off earlier investors until the whole scheme collapses.

excerpt from US Securiteis and Exchange Commision.

Last year in one of my entry, I wrote about the Autosurf scheme namely 12 Daily Pro. In March 2006, the SEC of America has ordered the 12 Daily Pro to stop their operations. Remember the story between Stormpay and 12Daily Pro, where the Stormpay froze the fund from 12DailyPro, claiming that the scheme was similar as the Ponzi Scheme.

U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Litigation Release No. 19592 / March 7, 2006

Securities And Exchange Commission v. Charis Johnson, LifeClicks, LLC, and 12daily Pro, Civil Action No. CV 06-01018 NM (PLAx) (C.D. Cal.)

Court Enters Order Permanently Enjoining and Freezing Assets of Defendants in 12daily Pro "Autosurf" Internet Ponzi Scheme, and Appointing Permanent Receiver

The Honorable Nora M. Manella, United States District Judge for the Central District of California, today entered an order permanently enjoining defendants Charis Johnson, LifeClicks, LLC, and 12daily Pro from violating the antifraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws. In addition to the permanent injunctions, the order freezes the defendants' assets, appoints a permanent receiver over LifeClicks and 12daily Pro, prohibits the destruction of documents by the defendants, and requires accountings from the defendants. The defendants consented to the entry of the order without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint. Read more



But who knows, that the Stormpay might be a scammers to. They cooperate each other, created the story between them so the investors feel like the 12Daily Pro was right and the Stormpay was on the wrong side.

After all there are no lunch you can get it for free......

Power of PING: Argumentation


What is PING?
Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network (from wiki).

Many ping servers let bloggers or web publisher to ping them of their latest update or entry. Open ping servers like Weblogs and the new Yahoo listed company blo.gs offer free ping service for bloggers to update their latest entry. PING has been widely used as one of the SEO tools to attract more visitors to ones blog. You can also ping multiple ping servers using Pingomatic.com.

Ping is actually designed for blog subscribers to be informed of fresh new published contents. But recently due to "i-want-more-visitor-to-click-my-adsense" and "i-have-no-patient-to-do-business" attitude, the emerging of spam ping also known as Sping did effect the function of the ping itself.

Sping is functioning as a invisible ping server which directed the internet surfer to particular websites or blogs that are purposely build and maintain to earn money thru adsense or selling bundle software,ebooks etc.

To encourage the accordingly use of ping, just be natural. Update your blog frequently with fresh contents, promote your product wise and evenly, then PING them!
