Quitting Entrecard

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 25 - 2008

After a month trial of Entrecard, I am now not motivated to run it. It is actually a very good idea to get more traffic, but I felt that most traffic coming in are only to get Entrecard Point. Overall, I did not really lose out as I won 1000 credit from problogger, and with that, I bought some directory submission.

If you like to participate in Entrecard, I suggest that you be prepared to work hard and click even harder. The harder you drop cards and participate in the forum, the theory is that people will also drop you a card back. Therefore, the cost of your advertisements gets higher.

Also, the entrecard explanation from JohnCow seems pretty true. People are here to click and go. Until today, my site only cost 15 points to advertise. I see some website with PR0 and high high alexa ranking cost more than 200 credit. It shows that I am lazier than them and I do not want to spend time doing clicking everyday.

Create your own Feed Widget

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 22 - 2008

Feedburner started with their feedburner widget whereby you could use them in forums as signature, share them in friend’s blog and lots of other place where you could include sime simple html code.

Having your a widget will actually increase relevant visitor because they would click on your widget only when the title is related to what they are looking for. Be reminded that not all forums allow this and too many users using this together in a forum will be quite annoying.

Adsense only shows Public Ads

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 21 - 2008

I am only seeing Public Service Ads by Google on all of my homepage. My first thought was there is something wrong with my adsense setting or my website content. But after looking at my other websites, I notice that problem is most probably not at my side. I also visited Digital Point, LiewCF, 5xmom  and Sabahan to confirm this. All other websites is showing public service ads.

This is my very fist encounter with this. I went to website that customizable adsense because they are huge publisher, they had no problem with this.

Are you getting this public service ads too?

Word Tracker

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 21 - 2008

In my preview seminar for Internet Marketing Boot Camp, I was introduced to this Free Word Tracker. I though there will not be another Alternative for Overture. But I was wrong, Free Word Tracker layout is very similar with the display of Overture’s Inventory list. But it does not show where the data is gathered from, and only on the right side, you know that the information showed is for 90days old searches.

Wordtracker also provides paid service whereby you are able to get more than 100 keyword results which are display on the free version. You could also try Word Tracker for Free. It is all 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Internet Marketing Boot Camp

Posted by Adi Wong On February - 20 - 2008

I have signed up for Fabian Lim’s Internet Marketing Boot Camp. I have actually attended a lot of this Internet Marketing, Generating Wealth Online, and other seminar regarding the Internet. This is the first time I have actually signed up for one.

The main reason which encourage me to join his 3 days boot camp is because Fabian is personally teaching and giving the introduction. Also, he prove himself by having few quality products and website under his belt. Plus this Internet Marketing Boot Camp will be hands on work, whereby we have to bring our laptop along.

He mentioned that everyone would need a laptop to join his Boot Camp, but I am not really sure if it will work out well for everyone. I think there is succesful and ametuer Internet Entrepreneur who uses their desktop to make some money.

His fee is not cheap, it cost me slightly less than USD1000 (RM2995). But I think it is one of the Boot Camp which is worth spending my money on. It is still a lot of money, but rather than learning slowly from forums and blogs, I hope that this would be a highway for me in learning more stuff.
