It seems that our Malaysia first blog aggregator is no longer working all the way back to 23 September. As a person that likes blogging, likes the SEO and the community that I could belong, PetalingStreet.org seems to land on the wrong person hand.

I liked the new face lift that is done on the new PPS, but hated that the owner is selling its soul in order to gain his ROI for the amount he paid for that site, I am sure he is doing great as he is selling text link to 5 websites and still able to maintain a pagerank of 2 and not get strip of everything at the early months.

Sadly enough the last tweet by the owner that pingger is down is now 15 days old.

Is PetalingStreet.org still fixable? Will it catch up with the latest web technology? Will there be loyalty at PPS?

I have registered my site with Innity for a long time now. The very first post about Innity was in April 2009. Previous requirements are 2,000 pageviews a day but the new requirements are 100,000 pageviews per month and 20,000 unique visitors a month. I find that in the long term we could earn a steady income. Innity is quite fair allow website publisher to display alternative ads in the event that there is no ads from them, this is what I liked about them.

There is big sites using Innity, therefore allowing Innity to land on great advertisers from Malaysia. If you have visitors from Malaysia, Innity is definitely some way you can make some extra money online.

Their support has been quick as the recent malware issue, they kept the communication with us to solve the issues, and I have inserted their code back to my website. Although it hurts a little, but I think all my rankings regain its position.

Nuffnang has been great at the start but unfortunately I see the income not being stable this few months and also it is not suitable for website as it is mainly targeted for blogs.

So give Innity a try if you meet their requirements.

Since Website speed actually affect your SEO rankings also your visitor experience it is higly recommended that you have a Content Delivery Network (CDN), but most of you will fall in the same category as me as we have little budget and most CDN service cost us monthly fee.

What I am about to introduce is much better it does not only improve your website speed, but reduces the bandwidth ussage, and on top of all those a bunch of basic security to identify and block new threats towards your website. All of this you will get by paying $0, yup nothing. They do provide a paid service of $20/month with advance security. I have tried it on one of my high ussage website and hope its performance does increase, but I am sure that SPAM is reduced so far.

Persenting…..CloudFlare, a service that acts as a proxy between your visitor and your webhosting company. It cashes static content so requests towards your service will reduced. Provides protection against Bots, Spam, Offline Browsing and Site Statistics.

It will be a hot service, as CloudFlare wins most innovative company award from TechCrunch Disrupt conference.
