Error in FireFox 3

Posted by Adi Wong On June - 27 - 2008

I can’t load my own very homepage, a Malaysia Classifieds. It says “this website does not supply identity information“. I have search for it, most people in both mozilazine and mozila forum said it is a SSL problem. I doubt it because I do not have SSL used anywhere on all my websites. I can’t load all my websites on the server, but I am able to load other people’s website from the server and I could do a ftp to my own server.

Any one got this and the solution to this? Or can you visit my homepage link on top? (June 27th, 10.07pm +8GMT)

Create your own Mobile Website

Posted by Adi Wong On June - 26 - 2008

Jag.ag is a free service that allows you to create your own mobile website. I tried creating  a short page to promote my Malaysia Property Classifieds. It is very easy and I did it within 1 minute. You will also get 30 free SMS to promote your page with your friends and clients, that is not bad for a start.

The function right now is quite limited as you could only add some message, change font colours, background colours and add pictures. There is not a function to include a link.

Unfortunately reloading the SMS will cost USD7.50/50sms.

Digg Effect

Posted by Adi Wong On June - 26 - 2008

I have tried to played around with Digg recently as I belief that it is a good method to get traffic into your website. One of my article Top 8 Twitter Applications dugg for 146 times, and it brought a decent boost in traffic. This incident reminds me that it would be a great internet marketing tool for me to promote certain good article I had. Thinking that if I had more friends in Digg, I would actually gotten more duggs.

After that I started adding more friends, and be reminded that you could not add the whole load in a short period of time, I added until the maximum of 1002 friends at one point. But notice that most of them are not mutual friends. I know my goal is to have more mutual friend because I could share a post with non-mutual friend.

From there, I know my goal is to get more fans, so that I could add them and become mutual friends. Rather than waiting for others to add me.

Lucky for me I have registered Digg quite early on 2007(although I see people with account since 2005), but kept it there doing nothing.

If you notice, Digg organized other account friends from most recent active users to the longest non-active users. Then within most active users, users are sorted by their registration date. Being online and active get me more fans because I have the higher ranking.

The only way that is totally under your control is being active and online, while you won’t be able to control registration date.

After getting more friends on digg, you could mix around and help each other to give a good article an extra boost. This takes time and persistent to get friends online who would share the same goal and helping each other.

Remember to add my Digg account, and I am also trying out the same with my stumbleupon account. Stumbleupon account is fairly new and the limitation is at 200 users, it would be harder to get friends.

It is actually pretty easy to setup Google Adwords and get an advertisement up right away. But by doing this is simply throwing money into the deep ocean whereby you will receives a lot of invalid visitor. This is what I have done, but luckily I started google adwords with a RM150 voucher which was blown away in a short time and I had to top up with some extra cash.

Learning Adwords is essential if you want to promote you business online. You are basically trying to beat you competitor by bidding for the lowest price and getting a high placement. There is no better place than learning Google Adwords from Google itself, Adwords Learning Center.

Why Learn Adwords?

Mastering adwords could allow you to sell your service. At the market people are charging somewhere around 30% of the marketing budget for advertising with adwords only. All you need is to setup the initial advertisements, and then maybe a little tinkering from time to time to perfect the advertisements. If it works, there is no reason for the advertiser to pull out the service done by you.
