What is my blogging mistakes?

Posted by Syafrizal on June 24, 2007

Recently I’m beginning to update my Technorati Favorites things and I’m amazed that some bloggers do increase their Alexa traffic ranking and of course Technorati ranking. Damn what did I do wrong? I’ve done all of it and it seems nothing works. Arghhhhhhh damn it. Sometimes making me feels like blogging is just a waste of time if no one read it. Just like my other two blogs: Syaf The Geek and Geek Who Loves Firefox. It seems no one read a geek story or tech stuff because some of them seems not too interested on the tech stuff or computer stuff or something like that. I’m not gonna blog about other things that people always copying like how to blog, how to earn money, how to make money, and that is so cliché doesn’t it? I just hate it. Really hate it. After all the hardwork and no one seems to comment on my blog. Unless I’m a hot chick with big boobs and nice ass, then a lot of people will comment on my blog. That is so stereotype and makes me sick. What the hell am I going to do about this shit.

I’ve joined other Technorati Favorites exchange but Dosh Dosh is one of the most popular blog in Technorati so getting favorite by Dosh Dosh is a big bonus.

Join Viral Tags

Posted by Syafrizal on June 13, 2007

I’ve joined this Viral Tags Blog Rank Boosting Experiment from my friend Mariuca. This is the original list. Copy the matrix below, change the host tag and replace it with your three words that you want and your tag to the matrix. When someone adds a matrix, be sure to add them and spread on. Below is the matrix.

========= Copy and Paste below this line ==========

Instructions:

Important Update – Please read here!

1. Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe (to support Jimmy’s quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a shoestring budget, please consider subscribing to his Full RSS Feed to see his triumphs and struggles in real time).
2. Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Viral Tags” in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.
3. When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.
4. Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Host Tag: Syafrizal

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

======== Copy and Paste from Above this line ========

Where have gone manners?

Posted by Syafrizal on June 10, 2007

Yesterday I’ve joined several computer and geek forums in order to gain traffic to my blog and also discuss things that I love the most. But what I’m sick of it is that there are a lot of rude people in it. Not just forums. It’s everywhere!! YouTube, discussions room, Digg, social networking sites, blog posts, blog comments, Bloc Catalog, MyBlogLog, and many more. I’m sick of it. I really do. That’s why I’m asking myself, where have gone manners in this kind of people. Did they learn in school or life?

I understand that everyone has their own opinion but can’t they being polite or nice guy for a while? How can a discussion be a great discussion if no manners are applied to it? Racism, hateful, sexual harassment just to name a few. What is going to happen in this world?

Is it wrong?

Posted by Syafrizal on June 6, 2007

Well a lot of people seems kind of weird when they hear I’m a full time blogger. It’s that I don’t want to have my own career but I’m tired of working under people’s noses. I want to be my own boss. No more get yelled at, no more get scolded at, no more have to face pain-in-the-ass kind of boss, no more of all those things. I’m really tired. And now I’m doing my blog as this is my passion and I really work hard for it. I rarely sleep early at night and of course woke up late. But this is one of my sacrifice that I’ve made and also of my hard work that I put on my blogging activities.

I’ve seen a lot of bloggers have made a lot of money and support their life with it. Why couldn’t I do it? Is it wrong? Is it illegal here in Malaysia? WTF? This shows that Malaysians only think that blogging is just for personal but that is past. Nowadays blogging have gone to the next level and this is great as we should not stick to personal topics only.

Late blog update

Posted by Syafrizal on May 22, 2007

It’s been too long I haven’t update this personal blog of mine and I’ve been busy with my blog which is SyafTheGeek.com. I’m working hard to make blogging as my main profession and this is not an easy task. I’m participating actively on Digg but this is just one of my effort to increase page ranking, traffic ranking and readership. What I’ve noticed on Digg is that there are a lot of rude people on Digg who is ignorant and arrogant. Of course Digg has its filters option but this is a social networking site with content rated where people comment what they want and don’t care about other people. Despite of it, Digg is one way to get a good solid traffic to your blog.

Anyway, I’ve been selected as Sphere’s favorite new partner site after all the hardwork. That is really really cool. Sphere.com has their own Content Related plugin which is cool and I’ve installed on my blog and you can see at the end of each post on SyafTheGeek.com.

Where’s your manners?

Posted by Syafrizal on May 7, 2007

Recently there’s a controversy issues regarding Technorati Exchange program. Some bloggers criticize it as a waste of time and brings no traffic in it and even some celeb bloggers think so. I don’t think it is a waste of time. All bloggers out there struggling to get noticed or get some attention and traffics. So as a blogger we should help each other to increase our ranking whether Alexa or Google page ranking. Those who criticize should look at themselves back when they started blogging. If they want to raise some controversies in order to sell their blogs, well it’s just a lame way to sell it. So join up any Technorati Exchange or BlogCatalog Join My Neighborhood campaign, it really does give me traffic .

Yahoo!!!

Posted by Syafrizal on April 29, 2007

My Syaf The Geek’s blog have a page rank 4! I don’t know how can it be a 4 PR in an instant. Well after all those hard work and sleepless nights, this is like a payoff, a big one! Now I can start monetize my blog as this is my golden dream to make money through blogging. Higher PR and traffic means I can make more money. Cool! Heheh. All those SEO things I do applied to my blog. Doing link building, join a lot of Technorati favorites train and submitting to blog directories and web directories, and leave a comments on other’s blog. If you’ve heard that some Internet Marketers can make money in an instant well it’s too good to be true. It takes tons of hard work to get to that money making kind of level and not just in one week!! So wish me good luck and it’s time for monetizing my blog hehe .

A discouraged blogger

Posted by Syafrizal on April 26, 2007

Sometimes I feel like a lonely blogger. You just blog the way you like it but with manners and code of conduct. You can blog things that you really like. You can blog things that you passionate about. But if you blog all day and night but no one would read it, doesn’t it feel useless? Unless you want it to be more personal and secretive blog. Not even Google can find your blog. Yeah right. I guess that’s what blogging community is all about. Bloggers gather in an environment and exchanging ideas.

But how can I make money from blogging? I know I can get paid for blogging and there are a lot of blog advertising network out there but I’m curious how can someone make money with Google Adsense? I’ve heard that you can’t make that much out of Adsense but there are tons of Adsense alternatives out there. I wish I can make a lot of cash from blogging. It’s my dream and my goal right now. So to earn more I need to increase a lot of traffic into my blog. That’s what I’m struggling right now .
