I am been trying some SEO tricks on Google with a blogspot domain. It seems like Blogspot is highly rated by Google. I picked something which I will have some knowledge at, which is the medical business industry.

My keyword is “Exam Gloves Manufacturer“.

This is not a huge keyword (only 126k competitors) but it is not a bad keyword if your are in this field. Glove ussage is 110 billion a year. If a importer or a distributer are looking for exam gloves (also called examination gloves), he/she would type the product +manufacturer as the search term. As a manufacturer myself, I understand gloves manufacturer in Malaysia would very much like to be listed on the very top for this keyword.

This blog has a total of 6 articles and only one incomming link PR 3 to lead Google spider to my website. This website has only one post activated on January 31st. In 30days, it is listed first on Google Search Engine.

If you are not from Malaysia, take a search at Exam Glove Manufacturer or Exam Gloves Manufacturer at Google, let me know your search result. I used Google.com (US) for my search.

Picnik and FotoFlexer recently provide their service for free. Free is always the best service online as this is not the stuff that I would pay to get my photo done. Both of the web-base photo editor is actually quite similar with their basic function of rotate, crop, red-eye fix and both had auto-fix (wonder what the fix).

Picnik offers a wide range of functions and it does not require any login  to upload or download. Here you are able to do the following:-

• Boarders
• Text
• Effects – Sepia, Black & White, Night Vision, Cinema Scope, Invert and much more
• Some simple touch up
• There is 2 advance feature for premium customer who pays but I have no idea how to use them as well. (Premium Service for USD24.95/year)

FotoFlexer is the first who offers the free service and their feature is a little more than picnik. Best of all, there is no premium service. Similarly you do not have to login to upload or download your picture. You will find their basic tool similar but some extras in the advance tool.

• Smart Scissors – This is a nice tool to change background of a picture
• Morph
• Distort (see my pic)
• Adding layers to image
• Other similar feature that picnik has too.

Overall, free photo editor is always good. One of the website down, you have alternative. Cheers to Picnik and FotoFlexer!

Oh, this is a bad news. Since I started this blog and many other websites, I was hoping that Internet Advertisements will increase. This research was done by comScore Inc. showing a decline in clicks for Google Search Engine. I am guessing that it is mostly due to education level. Most people know that it is sponsored advertisements by now, therefore some of them are reluctant to click on them.

Personally, I do click them when I see relavants advertisements during my search. No harm having a little more information in a page. I do look forward that this industry will pick up, maybe innovation to the advertisements style would be a great idea. Different advertisements other than the conventional text links or banner advertisements, since we could do a lot with flash these days.

Previously I would prefer Jaiku anytime better than Twitter because of its function and as a blogger, I could promote my feed via Jaiku directly. But since they are bought over by Google, Jaiku have been stuck with Invite Only membership and it does not seem to be growing.

I have used Twitter more since I found out about their Twitter Feed, which put them on par with Jaiku. Then I manage to find more and more application made for Twitter. Twit+ is a great idea to share files, video and flash application with your followers.

Remember to share your stuff with me at my twitter.

Since I am quitting Entrecard, I do have some entrecard point in my account to give away, a total of 1000 entrecard credit. This will be my very first blog contest for Rice Blogger. I think it is better to have 2 winners rather than one. So I will be giving 2x 500 entrecard for this 2 lucky winners. Compare to all the big timer bloggers, this blog does not have as much competition as the others, therefore your odds to win is high.
