I’m Back

Hi Guys…

It been sometime I let myself  far far away from blog. Free from thinking about money online, adsense, statistic, visitor, paga rank. No pressure at all. Maybe you should do that sometime.

Ok back to business, I am quite busy last month with my new task. Our big project has started so a lot of brain cells has to use for this project. Why ? Because I have to interface old equipments in a vessel with our navigation system. So I have to do a lot of research and study about signal and manual. Some of  them are really old  and the manufacturer claimed that they have stop produce it 10 years ago.

So a lot of work and testing need to be done to finish the project. After spending hours of looking at boring manual and keep asking my principle, Thanks God. I manage to get the signal and interface it.Wish me luck to complete the project.

I think that’s all about my boring work. Let start talk about blogging, money and PR haha.

Online Update

Rite now, I am using Celcom Broadband for RM 68 monthly. Really cool, now I can online 24 hours. I have to charge my  Nokia N 95 everyday cause of heavy internet usage. So far I have explore a lot of thing with mobile 3G. From Mobile Facebook, Mobile Blogging and Free Call.

There are a lot of  mobile software such as Fring, Nimbuzz and Pixelpipe that we can use to post picture and status online.

Make money with backlink

Seriously if you have one or two blog with PR as low as 1, then Back Link is the answer. Put link at your sidebar and get money thru your PayPal. Uncle G will not notice , don’t worry your PR will be safe.

Just maintain your website with fresh content and dont have to worry about click or traffic. So far I have received up to USD 25 monthly. The payment term is monthly without minimum payout. The advertiser will choose you if your blog is related with their product.

Installation is easy since Backlink has it own plugin for Wordpress.

Lastly, enjoy your weekend guysss..

I want to sell lankapo.com for USD 4,553

Just kidding. I found a website that can estimate your blog/website  price called MyWebSiteWorth.

Maybe you guys can try to see how much can you get from your blog hehe. Calculation are  based on Page Rank, Alexa ranking and unique visitor.

Google Adsense vs Nuffnang

Hi Guys,

Last week, I had a fruitful discussion with Papa Bear about our online income. We try  to compare two online income that are proven but different, Google Adsense and Nuffnang. As we know Google Adsense tend to work well with English content with high paying keywords. As Nuffnang, I have been told that only local IP will be count in. Meaning traffic from Malaysia only will be turn into money.Source from Mr Akubetul

Damia Anura,My inspiration

That explain why my wife’s blog, The Other Side of ME, earn more than my lankapo.com through Nuffnang. Even the statistic show that my number is better than her. So right now, I have to choose and focus on either Nuffnang or Google Adsense. As majority of traffic from this blog come from outside of Malaysia.As I am active with Entrecard. If I want to earn from Google Adsense, I have to post entry in English. Ok this is where my problem lies, my English is not that good to capture more audience. Yup, I have to admit. It is really important to be comfortable with your entry to attract more reader and make them to revisit your again.  I can’t do that with my English writing.

That is why I got to reactivate back my old blog in Bahasa Melayu, Damiaanura.com to attract more local Blogger. With this blog, I can write freely and within a short time. As for English blog, I have to do some research and draft first. Sometime it took 2 -3 days for me to write one post. I am not like you guys or Papa bear that can write as simple as that. I need more time to think the right and exact word to explain my points.

All this while, I thought you can only make money through English blog, but Nuffnang prove me wrong.As a lot of my friend earn a lot of money through Nuffnang with Bahasa Melayu blog. It takes me 2-3 months to earn my USD 100 through Google Adsense while my friend earn RM 500 – RM 600 per month. The keyword is traffic. There is no point to write about popular keywords if you fail to capture and mesmerize your visitor. You need to be unique and touch your visitor’s heart.

What leave this blog ? No la. I will still maintain this blog it just that I will focus more on my traffic.Share my experience on blogging and making money online using Google Adsense.Adsense is quite challenging, you can earn more through clicks or high traffic. As for now I need to restructure this blog to focus more on Adsense while DamiaAnura.com on Nuffnang.

So, no matter what language do you write, just make sure you are good at it and attract high traffic as to monetize your blog or site will be easy. But if you blog just for fun, its up to you as long as you happy with it. . Happy blogging  and Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim readers.

Increase your blog exposure with Twitterfeed

Twitter is the best marketing tool in blog sphere nowadays. You can make new friends and update your status.  Yesterday, my friend from Ozie, Joy, asked me on how to put our latest blog entry on Twitter status.

The answer is simple,use  twitterfeed.com.

Write because You Love It

Back in 2006, my intention to blog is to explore something new and just for fun. Since it is free like Blogspot and Wordpress.com. Plus, it’s really cool when you can tell your friend or chicks to visit your blog at lankapo.com rite ?. I am quite popular at that time.

So when l heard and confirmed by my colleague that you can make money online using Adsense , Nuffnang (Malaysian Ad Network) and others ads network, my intention totally changed to money now. So I just write what other blogger already done. Things like “Increase Your Traffic”,”Improve Your SEO Ranking” or “Make Money Online” are too saturated in this blogsphere. That’s add my blog to million of Making Money Online blog and just a John Chow wannabe. How can I tell other what to do when I am still a newbie too just like them.

Feeling Inspired

After reading How to Find Your Passion by Glen Allsopp from Pluginid.com , I was inspired. I never look blogging the same way again. I should find my passion instead. The author guide you to find your inner strength and what you suppose to write about rather than following others foot step. Make your own.

Recently, I  only manage to update my blog once a week. Totally blank.I cannot think of something new on making money online, struggle to find the motivation to write and to come up with post ideas. Now I want to write all about my experience along the way on making money online, blogging tools and plugin that I want to share and anything that make me feel good by  sharing it for benefit of others. Sharing and not teaching, remember that.

My experience when I shares about using Tune Card was totally worth it. I manage to earn money through Adsense unintentionally and get high SEO ranking for the keyword of Tune Money and Tune Card. My post on experience using Tune Card, a prepaid Visa card to cash out money from PayPal become popular since I was the first to blog about it.

FYI, It took 12 month just to get $ 2 through Adsense, but only 2 months to reach $100 when I post about tune card. See,when you post a unique content that benefit others, money will come after that.

Lesson Learned Here

So if you want to be popular and become authority in your niche, be unique and share your experience and knowledge that will benefit others. Not just writing and following what already being told. Your reader will be like “I have seen that before”, “hey, I already read that in ProBlogger” hehe.

When you are expert at certain thing, you will write like a river flow . Ideas will keep coming. Remember money will follow  when you capture your reader intention.They will keep coming back to hear more from you. Just make sure you enjoy the excitement through blogging, because that is more important.

We can find a job,make loan or marry to a rich husband/wife to get money,but happiness is precious.
