Bloggers Buff 2007 in Malaysia

My friend, Steven Wong came across the Bloggers Buff 2007 Malaysia on NuffNang Blog a few days ago and told me about it. So I said why don’t we register and attend this Bloggers Buff organized by Mr Mahendran of Puteri MIC and his committee members.

The event started off around 9.00am till 5.0pm at the Dewan Dato Hj Sidek on Jalan Kg Attap, Kuala Lumpur.

The early part of the morning were the arrival of VIPs, a welcoming speech by Mr P Kamalanathan and an opening speech by Dato V Sivaparanjothi, followed by a sharing session on “Why I Blog”.

Timothy Tiah of NuffNang - he shared why and how he set-up online advertising from his university days in London with his partner. He also shared the originality of the word NuffNang which comes from a Jamaican African slang word.

Yvonne Foong of Fight For Tomorrow blog - shared her experiences of her illness and how blogging has helped her raising public donations to fund her operations.

Sandra of LaundryBar - shared her blogging experience about bringing together both local and foreign musician bands together at the Curve, Kuala Lumpur.

Kenny Sia of KennySia - shared about his love for photography as a hobby and he blogs while working as an IT personnel. His blog is ranked 1 of the top 5 in the country.

Yuen Chi of CustomWare Asia Pacific in Kuala Lumpur and their company is a close partner of Atlassian. In short, they sell and are providers of services to Atlassian products. He is based in KL but their company has offices around the Asia Pacific region. He spoke of using “wikis” for corporate sharing of information and knowledge within an organization. He is a techie geek so he blogs about that.

In the second half of the day, there were grouping and ice-breaking session, followed by group presentation, a Forum by a few panelist about “Responsible Blogging” and Networking session before the day ends.

I would like to take this opportunity to also share some of the other blogs by Bloggers who attended this Blogging Meet. This list will also be shared in our July Wordpress Adsense Seminar attendees too.

Why Attend Seminars and Workshops and Outcome

Why do we spend endless amount of money investing on seminars and workshops to learn about online internet marketing?

I can tell you it has not been fun attending 3 full days in an enclosed conference room with hundreds other people there. Why do I go through that pain to learn more?

I pay and invested in these seminars and workshops to help me gain focused knowledge, to shorten my learning process, to get to learn systematically and to spur my business further.

I have written an article about the three (3) different types of people who attends seminars and workshops and shares the outcome of these people.

I estimate about 5-10% of seminar and workshop attendees falls into the Confident category, 70-80% falls into the Confused category and lastly, 10% of them would fall into Coward category.

How To Make Money Adsense Formula Exposed

Many beginners online marketers would like to know how to make money using AdSense formula. My simple Adsense formula has been exposed below in a formula that any online marketers should know.

Money = sum ( [Price Per Click] X [Number of Clicks] )

Logically speaking, if you want to make some Adsense money, you have to either increase the number of clicks or the price per click. If you do one or the other, per the formula above, you can make more money from the program.

A. Increase the Number Of Clicks to Make More Adsense Money

Increase the number of clicks on your ads is the most obvious strategy that will make more money for you. You can look at two successful methods to boost the number of clicks:

1. Driving more traffic for your web site,
2. Make your ads more clickable and position them at the right place.

Driving traffic takes time and efforts. It‘s also a lot of hard work. There are several techniques that you can use to generate more traffic to your web site and hence make more Adsense money. I reveal several of these techniques you can use below:

* Submit your web site to search engine and optimize your web site for search engine.
* Increase link popularity by link exchange, article marketing, directory submission and press release.
* Paid Advertising through classified advertising, banner advertising or search engine advertising.
* Participate in forums/groups related to the content of your web site.
* Add comments to other blogs.

B. Make your ads more clickable is another method to increase your earnings.
This is relatively easy to achieve because you can adjust your ad format almost immediately. I suggest you do the following adjustments to your ad format to improve your click through rates (CTR):

* Make them more noticeable by positioning your Adsense ads on top of your Adsense page.
* Google states that the most effective ad formats are 336×280 larger rectangle, the 300×250 inline rectangle, and the 160×600 wide skyscraper. However you are advised to choose the best ad format that works for your web site. This requires tracking and testing.
* Create a custom palette that best suites your web site. In general, you can follow the following settings:

% Border color : no border or background color of your website
% Background color : background color of your website
% Link color : color of your links
% URL color : black
% Text color : black or color of your main content

C. Target the Higher-Paying Keywords To Make More Adsense Money

You can create unique, relevant and quality contents that target at the higher-paying keywords to increase your average price per click (CPC). Higher CPC means that you can make more money even the CTR remains unchanged. You should find out which keyword variations for a topic pay more. Often the more specialized variations and phrases pay more than the generic terms.

You can increase your CPC by reducing the occurrence of lower-paying ads. You can use Adsense competitive filter mechanism to filter out the ads that you don’t want to be shown on your web site. It is suggested by others that showing fewer ads on a page will result in higher-paying ads displayed on your web site. Many publishers reported that they make more Adsense money if they remove ads completely from pages with few or no clicks. Again you have to test whether this strategy works in favor of you or not.

As you can see, it involves a lot of hard work if you want to make extra Google AdSense money. You need to put in your time and effort to make it happen. Your patience in the long run will bring in the extra $$$ you want for your website.

How To Add A Wordpress Theme?

How to add a Wordpress Theme to your site?

Oh! By the way, most people will tell you that it is better to host a wordpress theme or blog on its own ie. with its own Domain Name. The authority site, Wordpress will also suggest the same.

However, there are 2 ways you can in a wordpress blog theme in your site.

Method 1 - An individal site hosting a Wordpress theme/template

1. Go to Wordpress and search for your preferred Theme. Themes may come by 2 columns to 4 columns. Select the preferred Theme.

2. Download the zipped folder of the selected Theme into your local computer ie. your hard drive.

3. Next, you can upload the chosen Theme folder to your server using any FTP program.

4. Be sure you follow this path: www.yourdomain.com/public_html/wp/

That is to say, go to your domain name server and locate the public html folder. In here, create a folder named ‘wp’ in public_html. This is the place where you will upload your Theme folder to.

5. To change any of the contents in your Wordpress Theme, go to: www.yourdomain.com/public_html/wp/wp-content/

Method 2 - Upload a Wordpress template to your sub-page of your website

1. Again, repeat steps 1 - 3 of above.

2. Only this time, your files path will look different. It should look like this:

www.yourdomain.com/public_html/subpagename/wp/

You should use any FTP program to upload the chosen Wordpress Theme folder in to ‘wp’.
