3 way link exchange

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 26 - 2007

You may see this on a lot of webmaster forum who are suggesting to do a 3 way link exchange. This is actually a good method as Google will not see it as reciprocal link.

How 3 way link exchange works

There is 3 websites involve, which meas one of the people exchanging links will need to have 2 websites.

  1. Owner 1 [owns Site A (high PR/Traffic site) and Site B (new site)]
  2. Owner 2 [owns Site C (high PR/Traffic site]

In order to promote and exchange more links to go to Site B (new site), Owner 1 would offer a link from Site A to Site C and in return, Site C will link to Site B (not Site A).

Alexa finally updated

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 25 - 2007

After 11 days of blogging at RiceBlogger, Alexa finally shows some traffic rank. Previously it shows no data and it seems a little bad to let a statistic data shows no data.

Currently it shows, 7,995,409. Wow, this is so high compare to my other websites which are about 200 to 300k.

I know I have a long way to go, and would need a lot of support from other website to promote this website and bring the traffic up few hundred fold.

I have insisted to have alexa code installed even though it shows no data. This is because Alexa is detects the visitor’s visit when one of the following is acheived:-

  1. Visitor have alexa toolbar installed
  2. Forward visitor to alexa and then it will bounce back to your original domain
  3. Install Alexa code

As the only method that is fully under your control is the 3rd, I have used this method.

Picture to Cartoon using CorelDraw

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 24 - 2007

I am not familiar and have not used CorelDraw, but it I know that it is a worth opponent to Photoshop. Since I received quite a good response for my previous post to Cartoonize your picture, I decided to do some search whereby you could use CorelDraw to cartoonize your picture.

Another tutorial I have found is using Photoshop or flash. It is a old tutorial but the result is very appealing.

Text Ads Link new affiliate link

Posted by Adi Wong On August - 24 - 2007

Text Link Ads has change their long referral id link by using tinyurl. Tinyurl is quite a good tool for affiliate marketing or referral. This is because your referral id would not be shown.

Although Tinyurl still shows some number+alphabetical combination which looks a bit like like referral id to me too. Not sure if it would work, but it is definately better compare to using ref=xxxxx on the url.

Join Text Link Ads

UPDATES: WTJ actually commented that this may be a prank or a fraud, and it seems that there is possibility. Therefore I am still keeping my original text link ads affiliate link.

28/8 UPDATES: It is confirmed that Text Link Ads uses tinyurl, you will be able to see your affiliate link when you login to your account.

Did you know that you could actually use Google, a search engine to do your conversion and also calculator although it is not as advance as a mortgage calculator.

Here is a Google cheatsheet for calculator.

+ – / * is the normal calculator function

% – percentage (type 5% of 100 and answer is 5)

^ -power of (type 2^5 and answer is 32)

sqrt  -square root (type sqrt(9) and answer is 3) [NOTE: the bracket between 9 is needed for the command to function]

 Another great feature is conversion, which I do use it often.

You can actually do conversion using different units.
For example, you are interested to convert yard to centimeters, you will see the follwoing:-
