I am sure everyone can’t wait for year 2010 and there is much more on Make Money Online posts from famous bloggers, upcoming bloggers and also bloggers who gave up after 4 weeks in the year of 2009. So I thought that it may be great to take a poll on how everyone done this year? If you have set your target for year 2009, did you achieve them?

Despite the economy downturn, my online venture have increase. I did pretty well on the second half of the year, but I spend much more too on stuff like various new php scripts, more domains, advertisements, some gadgets, and also my semi-dedicated hosting with Serverfreak. Hopefully I will be able to pocket some earning in the future.

Also, I have got some income from Affiliate marketing for the very first time, it is some extra and got some money stucked at paypal waiting for a bigger sum to be withdraw later.

Currently I have Alexa and Technorati ranking on my ranking matrices for Malaysia Top 100 Blogs. I have been struggling to get other ranking up when I got compete API and the ranking ready, only to find out that it does not rate subdomain. Meaning yourname.blogspot.com will rank the same as www.blogspot.com, which is ridiculously bad. I have yet to come out with a solution.

While Google Rank script works well running one domain at a time but when I run my database of almost 200 domains, it seems to have no response from Google at all. I will need to fine tune this.

It has been a boring weekend with my daily job taking up a lot of time as I am on standby and my servers are not behaving well, I am stuck at home monitoring those metal box.

I was browsing around for wordpress and I stumble across this great WordPress Directory plugin. If you intend to have a directory and do not have the money to buy a php directory scripts like PhpMyDirectory or PhpLinkDirectory, you can give this a try because it is simply free.

WordPress is always a great CMS to me, because I am comfortable editing its code and its theme. On top of that, because it is a a wordpress directory plugin, you could take advantage of WordPress’s permalink that is always my preferred method because of its search engine friendlyness. Not to mention you could use other great features like trackbacks, ping feed aggregator, have rss feeds easily, widgets friendly panel and much more.

Ride the latest Google launch, the Google Wave. I have actually gotten this last night, a little slow on the wave as I was busy and not really keeping up with stuff.

Google wave is a communication tools, and I am yet to find out about its functionality. From what I could see and try, you can share files, have conversation, do a playback on all the waves so you can basically ride the wave, sharing video and other web gadgets.

I have some Google wave invites and if you wish to try them out, leave me a comment here with your valid email and I will send you the invite when I had the time.

It is never too late to ride the wave.
