It has been a week plus since my Malaysia Top Blogs list is published and I am so happy with the response as my effort are appreciated. Nevertheless, there is quite a few comments too. Some that could be implemented, some that is impossible to be implemented and others that does not make sense to be done, and I thank everyone that wrote in.

It is not perfect, and I am working hard to update the list when I had the time. If you written to me, you are sure that the mail is read, you will see your blog appearing if you have the desire alexa and technorati ranking.

So now I have two questions hanging in my mind and hoping that everyone can share their opinions. We shall take the majority view as I would like everyone to own this list and build this list together with me.

So here we go, there is 2 polls, please give your voice.

This poll is about certain site that may be idle, a great example is Hemmy.net, whos last update is Sep 2008 but with its statistics it is still at top 10 of my list.

Another controversial is whereby some Malaysian may be overseas and there will be some foreigner staying in Malaysia who blogs. I would personally accept both since they are all related to our lovely country.

If you like to make money online, this is actually what you should think of rather than following others by making money by blogging. I have actually tried taking a business that is already doing under the brick and motar method. Then convert it into online business. That business actually makes more money in terms of time spend to make a certain money. Of course this business will most probably limited to Malaysia geographical region but you still could sell service that has no boundary right?

The beauty of this business is that people actually look for you rather than you looking for your customer. It is all about Internet Marketing. Currently, it is easy to do that because you will be the pioneer and getting the strong keyword before anyone else. You will have to try the long tail keyword or the long tail market. For example, trying to sell watch, used car, insurance, fishing equipment or any other deals you could make with the retailer. Or maybe you could sell Swine Flu Mask right now.

Finding the right product to sell will be the crucial first step. Because you will have to think if there is competitor, if there is demand, if someone would purchase this online, if someone would search for this product online, if you are ready to sell this product, if you are doing marketing online/offline and a lot of other questions that will be similar to starting a business offline.

Similar to make money blogging, it is not an easy task and majority of people would actually quite before they see any result, but for those who persisted and work harder than the rest would actually see the pot of gold at the end of mountain.

If you have something that would work, you can let me know, and we could do a join venture on the product too .

My Malaysia Top Blogger list is now completed with more than 100 bloggers, but like I said in my previous post, only the worthy blog will stay up the list as I will update it from time to time with my automated script. If your blog is better, I would most definitely like to know about it and pay your blog a visit too. Let me know.

I have been trying to do a script to automatically updates my list of Top 100 Malaysian Blogs to promote the Malaysian Blogesphere for weeks now. Finally, it is here. This is a ranking base solely on Alexa ranking and Technorati ranking. Although it may not be so perfect because the fetching of the ranks could encounter some problem at times.  I may have missed out some blogs that are suppose to be included, feel free to inform me about all those great sites that is suppose to be on this list.

If you view the list far below, you will notice that there is only 83 blogs now. So here is your chance to be included into this list. Also not to mention, if you have what it takes to kick someone down the chart, I would definitely like to know your blog url.

This is the moment of truth to see if you are in our Top Malaysian Blogs List

Top 100 Malaysian Blogs

Future Project
I will be including other ranking such as Google PageRank, Feedburner Ranking, or Link Count (Provided that I could find the code to do it, help me out if you can) in the future.

Creating a community with Wordpress MU is not an easy task. I am guessing that most people could only afford shared hosting like me, you will need a webhosting company that would allow wildcard dns. I would strongly recommends Host Gator as I know that they do offer wildcard dns and other configuration needed to run your Wordpress MU. Or you could try Dreamhost as I have installed the Wordpress MU there before than they works great.

If you do not want to bother about the mumbo jumbo of installing Wordpress, uploading plugins, uploading themes, then you can give Blogs.MU a try, firstly they are free if you are using their domain. This is basically a free wordpress mu hosting, but there will be ads and limited control with the free service. I have registered a nice one, http://money.blogs.mu. and the users would be using http://money.blogs.mu/name. Come join my little community.

If you wish to use your own domain, you will have to buy their supporter package that will cost you $9/pack for 10 blogs. Although I am not quite sure about the calculation because 10 blogs meaning you can create 10 MU blogs at Blogs.mu or if we have 9 subscribers to our blog (1 of our own), then the whole package is used up.

You could try out their free service as they have some plugins and themes installed. You will get more with the supporter package. But you can’t ask for more since they are hosting your wordpress mu for free right?
