It’s using one website to drive traffic to another. This is the kind of online marketing which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. Search engines, email, and other marketing methods are the most popular ones compared to the low profile affiliate marketing. Yet undeniably, it still plays a significant role in marketing strategies.

so what are you waiting for? Start your way through search engine today! :)

Pingbacks, where the author request for notification when they link to their documents / articles / blog post. This can be done by embedding URL to the words in between your post. Say if i want to link to meshio.com’s article - Money or Time? I’d highlight any of the related words ..

and embed it with URL like this..

While Trackback, functions exactly like Pingback. The method of doing is different. In wordpress, there’s a Trackbacks option below the box where you write your post. Copy and paste the url inside the box. Like this..

Due to both Pingback and Trackback functions the same way, you don’t have to do the same thing twice. If you’ve already Pingback the URL inside your post, you shouldn’t Trackback the same URL again. Once you’re done, publish your post and it’ll look something like this at the comment section of the URL you tried linking it to.

I must admit that my eating habit is unhealthy. I enjoy food that doesn’t favour to my health. Well, i’m a generic Malaysian. :)

It’s been running in my mind for quite some time that i should go for a blood test. It’s time to pay some attention to my health situation. I need to understand what are the ‘damages’ these food had made to me. In order to live a better life.. so to speak ( i think i should start to sleep earlier instead ). Well, maybe not friday night, because i’ll be busying with my ‘new toy’ LOL.

So i did. The report of my blood test is still pending.. i’ll just keep my fingers crossed.

me: i see.. including text link ads itself?
k: yes
k: paid post does too
k: I will remove all my text link ads and paid post next month
me: so it’s adsense left.

K mentioned that when the traffic is not much, probably at the rate of lower than 50 visit per day, you can leave the ads alone at the moment and concentrate on…

k: nope
k: u should concentrate ur content first.
me: i see.

I’m not sure how and when they’re going to shut the content down, but as for the time being, it’s viewed and released so that all of us Malaysian know what’s going on.

It’s the Hungry Ghost festival soon. It’s a real irony that human are scared of the non-existence while the real monster is living inside everyone of us. It’s just the matter of how far we’re driven by greed. As far as this matter is concern, they ( the so-called important people ) are those worse than anything else that could be imagined.

Thanks for the info sharing. Tribute to RPK, true Malaysian hero.

Well, they sounded so mysterious and i didn’t get to know what was it until i was there today. Well well, it’s a pleasant surprise from Ammie. Red roses and lilies placed inside a vase with water and flower food. Sticky note says :” To Marcus, from lefiores :) ” hehe. Nice~ I love it alot. Thank you very much to brighten my day with a roses and lilies. I’ve talked to Ammie and she taught me how to manage the lilies and the sticky stuff on the tip. I thought it’s honey… hmmmmmmmmm… anyway, she said she’s going to teach me more when we meet haha. Sounds exciting!

Here’s the a few shots of the roses and lilies in action in my office!

Some blogger says it does pay really good. Widgetbucks pay you 25 USD upon signing up, which caught my attention too.

Some blogger complains that it’s actually a trap that lure bloggers to put their ads up, help them expand their advertisement network, but they didn’t actually pay. If you look up for widgetbucks scam or keywords of these sort, you can see alot of the similar comments that’s featured at iguides.org, moneyblogger.org, blogstorm.co.uk or googlelady.com.

Well, it’s pretty hard to determine who’s actually right and who’s actually wrong. Much observation need to be done before actually get these widget ad tool installed on your blog. That’s what i think.
