Nuffnang Glitterati Status NO MORE

No more VIP Status

Since Nuffnang was born I have been loyal to them. I never use other Online Advertising from Malaysia, but why my status is suddenly change to ordinary user. No more glitteratti, the exclusive club for Nuffnang. Why all me ?

I was about to email and ask Nuffnang Customer Service but I found other similar question:

13. I was awarded Glitterati status but recently it reverted to “Ordinary”.

First of all make sure that you are indeed not running any other SEA ads on any of your blogs.

We have encountered a minor bug where a blogger does not properly detect as exclusive when he has multiple blogs and some of them regularly have no unique visits.

This is because our crawler excludes dormant blogs to save time. But when your status is displayed, the blog in question may have had hits on that given day, before the crawler has managed to update its list of dormant blogs.

This leads to your account being flagged as “Ordinary” because one of your blogs is not exclusive. A simple way to avoid this is to make sure all your blogs have visits.

Alaaa, they should email about this new TOS. So all blogger aware that they have to update all their blogs. I admit that I have a couple of dormant blog, since I am quite busy rite now. But at least le tme know, before you take back my precious prrrrrrecious Glitterati

Solution:

I have removed all my not so active blog . Hope Nuffnang Team can give me back my Glitterati status. Please please !

How to get ATTention in a Blogger’s Gathering

Hi guys,

During my first blogger gathering, I was a bit shy and prefer to speak only with my wife.Which is not the best thing to do. Since it was my first, so I did some observation and note down things that I should do next time to make more friends and increase traffic to my blog.

1. Take picture with famous blogger,say hi,exchange ideas

- Well you should know the most popular blogger, as for me I would love to take picture with Kak Red from RedMummy.com, Lilian from 5xmom.com or even VP from viruspaducom

- OK there must be popular male blogger like KennySia, LiewCF.com that you shouldn’t miss if they were there. Be polite and asked for picture won’t cost a thing rite. In fact this is the best way to get notice fast online.

2. Distribute your blogger card

- If you don’t have it , jut drop by to a printing shop and create one box of your official blogger card, it wil cost you less than RM 30.

- People will easily visit your blog with the correct url as stated in your card rite, so no more typo error in finding your blog url.

- Same like a business card, it will show how professional even you are just amatuer. Your new friend will sure be impressed.

3. Wear your special shirt that display your URL of your blog.

- Seriously, I found this tip is practical, since I noticed a few blogger wear black T-shirt  with their blog URL at the back.

- If you can out your logo than that would add more cream to the ice cream . At least your regular visitor will notice you on the spot. As online picture with real one is not usually the same. As for me, I will look more “leng chai” if face to face than my online picture hehe

4. Be friendly with everybody shake hand and smile always

- This is a straight forward tip, since be nice to everybody will attract more blogger to get to know you.

- My first mistake was unable to start a conversation, that is my main weakness. I usually think 100 times about topics to talk about,untill  some people think that I’m an introvert. Well I can talk about a lot of things just don’t know where to start and can be funny sometime.

5. Participate in a talk,answer question fast and always raise up your hand.

- Seiously, I did’nt know that you will get goodies/gadget when you answer simple question in a talk session. Well, I know that you do get goodies but not all questions, so I ‘m a bit shocked.

- Next time, I will prepare myself with some info and do some research about the event and the sponsor off course. I will always raise my hand and get the chances to introduce myslef to everybody and win some goodies.

Bonus

- Win a competition in that particular gathering, that would add a strawberry in your ice cream of exposure . I did win a consolation prize in that gathering, and I bought a lot of books from MPH Alamanda Putrajaya.

- In short, just enjoy your gathering, chat with others and smile

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.

BlogCatalog Automated Spam Software

Just last week, an online friend of mine introduce me to a software that can browse BlogCatalog and add comment. So  I read on the sales page and it says that you try it for free. So I click to download it .

It is called TrafficPsyche. My first thought was, this software is something like Comment Kahuna that can browse certain niche and certain PR of blogs and you can leave comment. Since he told me that this software  is not a spam and will I will get more friends and traffic,. So I thought why not give it a try.

Beware of this Automated Spam Software

DOS Format Only

So when I installed it, it’s totally in DOS format. Just provide your BlogCatalog ID and password. After that write your comment and choose which group that you like to browse. Wah, this is so easy.

When I click the R for RUN button and enter, I don’t see any of BlogCatalog website and group but only dot dot dot. The software only provide text update and will tell you which account that it surf and leave my message.

Bad Boy

Not once in my mind thought that this automated software will ruin my reputation in Blogcatalog. My nigthmare begins when I cannot log in to my account and all my blog and comment dissapeard.

After that I realise I was banned and I just spammed the whole BlogCatalog community. Immediately, I sent email to the admin asking for forgiveness by statting that  I was tricked and stupid. Sadly they reply that my action was an insult to the BlogCatalog community and refuse to activate my account back as for now.

Conclusion

I would like to apologise to all BlogCatalog Community and their Administration. I am really a bad boy, but people tend to make mistake rite. Spamming is bad for your reputation as blogger and for your health. Why ? Because nobody will come to my blog again and I will get depression hehehe.

BlogCatalog has been help me a lot for all this year, build my reputation and increase my traffic. If I only knew that my action would jeopardize my account, of course i will not use that software.Plus, I will be extra careful in the future.
