Browser Based Online Chat

Im bored talking about money so I start a little bit about something I like, like chat chats rooms, today I just found browser based online chat BBW Chat I think this site use some new online chat script to make the website. The design is good enough, I vote 7 points from 10 for the design, but the traffic is really suck, there is no user on the chat room, who do I want to chat if there is nobody on the chatroom? Well I guess I have to wait until the owner have a good member for the site.

Socialize is The Key

Last post make a post about blogging network. Do you need to grow your blog network? let me tell you my plan to grow my network. Well for me, I'm not a rich guy in internet yet :D maybe one day I will hahaha, the most important thing for blogging is Friends, sometime lot of people doesn't realize how to use a social bookmarking website to increase their traffic to their blog, what I saw in lot of blog post about how to increase blog traffic is with social bookmarking but is kinda hard to find how can social bookmarking or other web 2.0 application to increase your blog traffic. Maybe you only could found it in a bookstore, but if you can understand my post, you can get it for free.

So let me give the list of social bookmarking that I use, that could give me some traffic, and of course for you too.
note: all of the social bookmarking link goes to my profile page, why? because I am expecting you to add me to be your friend ahahahha...

Digg Social bookmarking
The most easiest way to get traffic to your blog. What you have to do is just submit your post. And then share it to all your friends, and let all of your friends help to spread your blog post

Stumbleupon
StumbleUpon is a web browser plugin that allows its users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos, and news articles(web definition from wiki) I'm not good at stumbleupon yet, but few days ago, I check my google analytics, there is someone who stumble my blog post, and it really give me a bunch of traffic. I'm still learning how to use it.

technorati
Well technorati doesn't help much, I use technorati just for fun and to measure my technorati authority, I'm still learning how to get traffic from technorati.

So, if you really want to grow your blogging network, start to make friends from every social bookmarking. More friends more traffic to your blog, and don't be my fan, be my friend. Is there any social bookmarking that could give you good organic traffic? please let leave comment and let me know. And if there any request to make some video tutorial, maybe I will make one for you, and please share your traffic source.

Teamwork In Blogging

Speaking about team, team is better then personal, working as a team will make something more effective and more powerful, I haven't try work as a team in blogging but I know it will be like good if I could manage a team, like I manage a team in game, there is no much different about blogging and gaming, but I already tried work as a couple, smaller then a team, but I think its already called a team and and do some teamwork... Well my brain is filled with game, because I have lot of history in gaming, and maybe I'm a pro gamer not a pro blogger, but I already retired in pro gaming so I move on to the next step, trying to be more useful for other people, and chasing my dream. So let me try I to explain it with my own way about team work in blogging.

In a team you will need a various characteristic of people, of course you need some different type of person, I make some group of characteristic for a blogger based from gaming characters and I hope its useful and helps (maybe it will be more useful for gamer)

1. The Leader
First of all, you will need a person who have a leader characteristic, a team will always need a leader, basically everyone already a leader for their self. It means you are already a leader. But its really hard to choose a leader in a team, because I know everyone wannabe a leader.

2. The Supporter
Everyone needs a support, it really helps, well it called a priest or cleric in a game, in a blogging, what ever your characteristic is, if you have a supporter in your team it will really helps, a person who have a support characteristic can help you giving a new idea, more creative, just like gives a buff, so thats why I put support in second place.

3. The Professor
hahaha, sounds weird, but I like weird things, I call the third character the professor, well you know what professor do don't you? they always think, they find a good way to make things better, they use their brain skill. This type of person should have a good skill to make a widget, useful stuff for a blog.

4. The Seller
If you plan to monetize your blog, you will need this type of person, well this type of person will do anything to make money, maybe a greed person who do everything for money hahaha. Everything that visitor want to do they will need to pay for it, because they have a motto "nothing is free in this world". And this type of person will really really make you rich.

5. The Bodyguard
This type is just an addition for your team, but if you running a web or a great blog with great fame, you will need this person, why? this type of person will protect your blog from every threat possibility that could be happen to your website or blog. This characteristic of blogger must have basic internet security or maybe a whitehat or a blackhat, but I'm worried if a blackhat will give a backstab to your team.


This time, I try to be all those 5 character in 1 person, I have to admit that thing is hard to implemented, be a 5 character in 1 person, and I start to think to divide the all this characteristic in 5 person, maybe lot of blogger feel the same way like me, so thats why I try to make a team, but I know its really difficult to make a team if we don't know each other, and its hard too be a part of the team if you don't have speciality or something specific. I run out of words now, and I think I will make other post that related about this, because I'm planning for something...

Choosing a Blog To Advertise

For this time, maybe im only have experience choosing a blog on Entrecard, and maybe next time I will start to make tutorial to advertise on projectwonderful, few thing you have to know is, I always try to be efficient on everything, I try not to spent a cent on advertising but make lot of income, and you need a brain and strategy to make it success, and I already make some video tutorial for entrecard to explain it easier.

There is lot of strategy you can use, it just like a coach make a strategy for their football team, but for us, we are coaching our blog, and make strategy for advertising and maximizing our blog performance. So I will share my strategy to advertise on entrecard.

1. Cheap Advertising (low risk)
this is simple step and good thing for a begginer, by searching new blogs or cheap blogs on entrecard, BUT if you wont to make it efficient, you should try to take a look the blog first, some new blog and cheap blog have a bad quality or even just an experiment blog ahahhaha... I hope you don't advertise on my experimental blog.

2. Moderate Advertising (medium risk)
you can get this strategy after you have a few credits, about 64-256 credits, if you serious dropping you can get 300-450 in one day. its little bit risky, you have to choose and look carefully for their blog, some of blog that have 64 price can be bad... or just because they are new, price doesn't count or will show that they are good to advertise, my advice is to view their blog first and take a look on their alexa traffic rank. Alexa rank in here show them that they are active dropper.

3. High Advertising (high risk)
I can say that this is high risk, possibility are their traffic are not from entrecard, do you realize that we are exchanging traffics from every entrecard member? if.. their visitor are not from entrecard, chance to get a traffic is really small. So you will just wasting credits if you advertise without getting any traffic.

Here is my thought about High Advertising, in entrecard campaign directory, they have list most popular blog, there is 2 type of popular blog, popular in blogging and popular in Entrecard, my best choice is popular on entrecard if you want to get equal traffic, for sample cost advertising in Jhon Chow and cow, is 512-1024, but, do they drop? do they have time to drop you back? their blog just receiving credits from our drop. I know he is lazy guy... so recommended you to advertise in mom's blog hehehe, why? because they are nice, they drop you back. 70% blogging mom's are active dropper, I prefer active dropper blog to advertise. Well I don't have recommendation yet for that, I don't have a good mom yet *sob* well on next post (don't know yet when) I will wrote some recommendation for blogging mom's. If hope there is some blogging mom's read this post... I love you mom...

Watching my blog stats

Today... whatever day today is, I don't care, I keep my eyes on my own blog, looking for her stats... I start to desperate waiting for pagerank... will I get pagerank or not, pagerank is not so important anyway, but I love to collect stats, just like playing a game. And confuse looking for a good way to get a money ticket to Serbia. This feeling makes me hard to think and loosing lot of idea, and there is still lot of stuff on my draft on my blog that haven't been posted... so I just make some simple statistic from my blog, but I will try it to make it useful.

I realize that this information will help people that want to advertise on my blog, so here is the information for my blog.


Display PR: display your site Google pagerank
GIP & GBL Google Index Page & Google Back Links
YIP & YBL Yahoo Index Page & Yahoo Back Links
MIP MSN Index Page
ALR & ABL Alexa Traffic Rank & Alexa Back Links

for technorati I already put it on my sidebar, I don't display the page view and unique visitor, because I can make a fake one for that. This information is useful for someone to advertise. And I will make the criteria choosing blog with this stat tomorrow, I mean it will be posted tomorrow hahaha... I already make it right now but I schedule the post.

Modified at Sunday, June 30 2008 10.52(GMT+07.00)
I move the technorati rank here too, I try to reduce link in the main page, and also trying to reduce the page size, 81587 bytes this time. And I still try to reduce it.

View blog authority

Widget above show my technorati authority, well I use technorati to detect page and that link to my site.

Psychology of Internet Earner

Well I think there is lot of thing to earn money in internet, what kind of Internet Earner you are? this post is inspired by an article from gaming forum, but the original post from the forum is gone, I don't know why maybe they something happen with their database, and it because the article is posted long time ago, and I was publishing it too before my website got destroyed few years ago, its really interesting for me, and its really funny, so I think to make the same thing too but for the internet earner.

New Page Element From Blogger

Well check this post first from Blogger Buzz: Show off your favorite blogs with a Blog List before you read mine, or just go away from blog post and go read from there. I just confuse is it useful for me or useful for someone that I put on the list? and who wants me to add your blog link to my blog list? but... who gonna add my blog link to their blog list? is it gonna be useful or useless? I don't think its gonna be useful for me if, but I will have a try just for a few days, and see what gonna happen, bad thing or good thing.

So who wanna add my link on your blog list? So can we discuss about it and let me now your thought about this new page element from blogger. Will you use it? or you just prefer the old blogroll?

Same Thing Between Blogger and Gamer.

Before you read this... At least you have to know about MMORPG or RPG game, if you haven't try any MMORPG or RPG game its gonna be hard to understand this. If you are a gamer like World of Warcraft, Dota, Ragnarok, Rising Force... and there is still lot of MMORPG game in this Internet world...

So what is the connection between blogger and gamer? Imagine if the blog is our character. Need some equipment and stats.

But what is the stat and Equipment for blog???

Maybe you don't realize that you are looking for some equipment and stat for your blog... For me, the stat for blog is Pagerank, Link Popularity, Backlink and other stats... depend the person, maybe technorati rank and alexa could be a stat too... and there is still more stat you can use, depend what "game" are you in...

and what about the equipment? you can say that Content, widget, template is your equipment... in gaming, equipment or avatar make your character looks more stronger and looks more cool, so does content, widget and template, it will make your blog looks stronger and looks more cool, more cool your blog more visitor will come.

Is it make sense? well its make sense for me... Because I am a gamer, in MMORPG and RPG game, you play you character to gain a good stats and equipment... Build them a strong character and beat your enemy's or monsters... So does in the real world too, blog and website is your character, build your blog as a strong blog and beat your rival, and earn some money.

First thing to build your blog is to know what will you need for a blog... I have my own list for what I need to build a blog, but you don't have to follow like this because everyone have different thought, just like you build your char, there is no official rule to make a good blog just be creative.

1. Pagerank.

For me the most important thing is pagerank. Why page rank? Because what ever the content and the template look like, if you can get good pagerank you can earn more money with a good pagerank.

2. Content.

Of course you need content, if you don't have content what is the visitor gonna do??? just starring your blog with nothing to do with it??

3. Link Popularity.

With a good link popularity it will easier for the visitor to access your blog.

4. Template.

is it important? well I think it is... Because I have some experiment try some cool template, it is cool but its hard to put some widget, and some widget could break the template, or make the visitor harder to click the ads.

5. Community.

Yeah... its just like a guild or a clan in gaming, human cant live alone, we need a friend to share, a community to help us and support us. So thats why we need some community for our blog. You can use mybloglog.com to get a community, and it helps to get some visitor too.

I made this article because all of my friend is still playing game for 18 hours a day... I just hope that they realize that the are already playing a game in the real world... I hope it will help for gamer to reduce their playing time...
