What’s your definition of a problogger?

The post by Hyder from everybodygoto got me thinking and I think I want to ramble on about this term ‘problogger‘. I know Hyder briefly from one of the paid post forum but I think both of us have left the paid post field for a while. However, I still subscribe to his blog because I like a variety of bloggers on my reading list. Hyder said :

How do you define a ProBlogger?

- A person who has built a reputation on a subject via an online weblog

Do you concur?

Well, here are my opinions on problogger.

Problogger is a term people bestowed upon you and not the other way round. I normally snigger at those bloggers who labelled themselves problogger just because they become a full-time blogger.

Problogger has to have multiple skills and that includes writing, technical (i.e. all those coding and programs), business and marketing.

Problogger must be a generous leader, i.e. sharing their wisdom and knowledge.

Problogger has to earn the respect.

Problogger has to have an brandname.

Problogger must exudes a personality online that people immediately can remember.

Problogger is not measured by the amount of money they make but by how they made it. I wouldn’t call those internet marketeers who sell ebooks that cause noobs to buy even more ebooks and softwares to make money a problogger.

In conclusion, if you ask me if we have any problogger in Malaysia, I will give you a blank look and say…HUH? Come again? What was your question again?

So, how do you define a problogger? Do you think you can slap on that title in your about page and start thinking you are a problogger already?

SEM strategies like pay per click and per inclusion work well only with domain names of trusted web servers. The hosting service should be able to do this with or without broadband. A webmaster is aware of these facts.

“Blogspot Users, Cut The Crap..!!”

I forgot where I picked this link from but I read it this morning and I am still amuse with what the blogger said. I rarely dare to say much on this blog because people are always so touchy. I hate moderating comments, you see.

Since it is a lazy weekend, let me show you what Moolahking wrote :

Most of the bloggers used Blogspot. And i can say MOST of them post about making money online and how much they gained money by blogging. WTF..!! Is it good to be true?

DAMN NO..!!! I DON’T THINK SO..!!

Cut the crap, buddy.. If you can get money via blogging, why in the world you still used BLOGSPOT? Why don’t you used the money you received and buy your own domain name and hosting?

Oh boy, I love all that cussing but I only do this in my personal blog. So, go over to Moolahking and read the rest of the entry. It got me nodding, yayayaya, I agree. 101% I agree with what he said. Only thing is I dare not say it loud over here so I borrowed his words.

I have been taking Wordpress.com for a free ride these few days. It turns out that I have several Wordpress.com blogs that I had forgotten I ever signed up. Some of them are already three years old. If given a choice, I will use Wordpress for personal blogging. It is so much easier to handle. I wrote a post on choosing Blogspot or Wordpress.

A number of dedicated servers offer free web design templates as well as a part of their hosting deals. One of these companies is the aplus hosting.

Tend your blog like your garden

I have been busy these few days with endless number of things to do. And suddenly, this came to my mind. Many years back, I was crazy about gardening. It involves a lot of work.

Planting = writing new posts

Weeding = remove spams, useless ads, stuffs on sidebar and any posts that make not sense

Putting fertiliser = upgrade plugins, latest Wordpress, new ways of boosting traffic etc

Trimming = improve on your old posts if they are driving traffic to your site

Fencing = LOL, like adding no-follow, if possible

Oh well…that’s about it.

One thing that some bloggers may have missed is the pot of gold buried in our old posts. That’s why we need to observe and analyze our traffic.

Know what are the few keywords that drive traffic to your site and improve on those pages. Do not leave the old pages as mere dead plants. They are the ones bearing fruits, i.e. bringing organic traffic which in turn translates into money.

Few days ago, an advertiser was being very frank in the PPP forum. He (or is it she) lamented about bloggers deleting post after 30 days of posting. Well, bloggers are not doing anything wrong as we are paid for the 30 days only. Howevever, this advertiser said that it is only after 90 days that our post will bring value to them. So, they are frustrated to see that lots of money were spent on mere 30 days.

Of course, I must repeat that I no longer have any paid posts on this blog. I am talking about my other PR 0 blogs. True enough, many of the paid posts I did for advertisers are appearing top on search engines even after a year. Do I delete them off? No, I leave them as I am too lazy to sieve through. Frankly, we do not owe the advertiser to keep the link. Some of my friends deleted off the links and leave the post. Again, it is our rights. After all how much do they expect for five bucks, right?

So, look at the overall health of your blog and do not just focus on the current ones. For example, I slept at 5 am yesterday because I suddenly have the urge to tend to one neglected site and went through upgrading, installing codes, add plugins, improve SEO with whatever knowledge I have and I submit the site to Google for reconsideration. It is a main domain which I have never used for paid posts but when my sub-domain was smacked, the whole thing went down together. Let’s see if I can get back the PR.

Oh, don’t forget to plant some new flowers for the next season = create new niche blogs

Happy Gardening!

Blogging for money is 50% analysing, 40% reading and 10% writing

*A re-post*
People will tell you not to be too obsessed with looking at your stats. But if you are blogging for money, it is one of the most important thing to do. You cannot forge ahead blindly and keep churning out articles. You are only wasting time.

You have to know where your traffic comes from, what they are looking for, which sites send you the highest referrals, where you can promote your blog and etc etc. Sometimes, I can spend some hours just analysing how people find me. It is a tedious job because I have to know why they come and how I can make more people come.

I have to know if there are some factors that will cause a spike in traffic. I have to cater for the season. Well, I am talking about blogs with other niches, not boring how to make money blogs. I need to know what are the commons things women want to know. Sometimes, to cater for them, I am risking people misunderstand me.

For example, I know a lot of insecure women wants to know how to tighten their vagina. LOL. So, I make sure that I have the bases covered (pun intended) by having a post in almost all the related blogs. Sometimes, I churn out new posts based on something I just read or ideas that cropped up. Regular blog buddies may get suspicious with the amount of posts I keep writing about tightening vagina. I hope no one assume anything. Hahaha. All for SEO sake, ok?

40% reading. Things change very fast. What one blog guru said may actually be bull craps to another. So, always have a broad range of SEO blogs in your RSS. Absorb what they say but always be on the look out for other differing opinions. I have seen some fanbois going gaga over just one or two and oh boy, do they make a fool of themselves. Read blogging tips, read the latest news of your niches, read your competitors blogs… Oh well, we are not in business so we have no competitors but there are blogging peers that are on par with us so it is always good to sniff out what their next strategy is and where they are learning them from. You know the art of war, know yourself and know your enemies well.

And we only need to write 10%. What’s the point of putting out a masterpiece all the time? The search engines only catch our keywords. Of course, you need to create that aura or brandname so that other type of blog , i.e. the personal blog plays by a different rule altogether.

Finding that breakthrough

It is very, very hard to stand up and be seen in this huge, huge world call the blogsphere. Some people spent their time just commenting on top bloggers’ site to get on the top commentors list. (I disabled mine due to plugin problem at the moment)

Some seek out controversies to create a ripple. Others work on lists to lure the big bloggers to notice them. Big bloggers do need their ego polished too, you know?

Recently, a few Top 100 and Top 50 lists have emerged. I managed to leech on to some and you know what? It is my first breakthrough after 365 days of blogging. Three hundred sixty five days of blogging to no traffic, no readers, no comments except for a few supportive blog buddies.

I got on one list and am lucky was noticed by the others and in the end, I got in a few.

Here are some of the lists I have managed to piggie ride on :

1) Paula Mooney’s list on bloggers who made money from their blog

2) Marc’s list of Top 50 Make Money Online Blogs Ordered by RSS

3) Mark’s list of World top 100 make money blogs list

4) Some lists ordered by backlinks from Link Bait Me

5) Top 50 bloggers in Malaysia ordered by Technorati rankings (my personal blog on #4)

6) Top 50 most influential bloggers in Malaysia by Sabahan (my personal blog)

7) Top 70 most popular bloggers in Malaysia by Syed Syahrul

8 ) Asblogger’s rehashed list for Top 100 bloggers list, translated into BM

Now, why do I bring up this matter? Is it to boast? NO!

I am giving suggestions to those techie guys who have the ability to pull the datas to come up with these sort of lists. Make it longer and I bet you will earn a lot of links.

And for us bloggers, how do we get on these sort of lists? Be alert and if you think your blog fits in, don’t be shy to write to them and ask nicely if they can include you in their next update.

How does these sort of lists benefits us? Backlinks! Doh! What do you think? Ego? Nah, no one gives a shit if you are #1 or #99 but we benefit by getting on the list.

One last tip - Sometimes you have to write for three hundred sixty five days without readers nor traffics until one day, the big guy one top decides to smile on you. Sheer determination.

Good luck and see you at the top!

Can Kontera and LinkWorth’s LinkInTxt play together?

I asked Ron aka Wicko of LinkWorth. If you notice, now I have two link-in-text companies on one blog. I only place it here because I want to test out both companies and see how effective and how well they pay.

Kontera’s ads are different from LinkWorth LinkInTxt. Kontera pays per click.

Whereas LinkWorth LinkInTxt works by allowing advertisers to buy that keyword and place a link to their site. Although both Kontera and LinkWorth have the same pop-up little bubble, we get to fix our price on LinkWorth, i.e. USD5 or above. (per month)

So, I asked Ron if I can put both. He said LinkWorth will not dictate what we can do.

Here is a reply from Ron :

We’re going to implement a filter for LinkInTxt, but you get the opportunity to decline any offer with this product. This means if someone tries to purchase a LinkInTxt Ad from a sponsored post, you can simply decline the offer until we get the filter in place.

Along with this, we’re discussing the option of adding something that will prevent ads like Kontera, LinkWords, Intellitxt inside paid reviews. Kontera offers a filter I believe to disable it in content like paid blow reviews. I believe if it’s sponsored and someone doesn’t want Kontera to appear, you can start the post with: (code missing in the email)
then at the end, close it up with a . You can read this where I found it:

http://www.andy-coates.com/blog/2007/08/21/how-to-stop-kontera-content-links-being-displayed-in-sponsored-posts/

But as far as choosing…we don’t tell you what you can and cannot do on your site. The advertiser might request it on their paid ad, but if you’re not happy with it, you can decline the offer.

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Ron

This means, both Kontera and LinkWorth can work together. Twice the fun, twice the money. Now, do you see how valuable our blogs are? It is like a gold mine where advertisers are going to dig the nuggets (our important keywords) and pay us to ‘rent’ it. Great, right?

Another Malaysian blogger earning five digit income through blogging

Samm of MyOrganicLife is my blog buddy and we have known each other since like 2 years plus. Initially, both Samm and I only blog for fun, writing mostly about our babies and our rants. Both of us can rant a lot when people got on our nerves, which is often. LOL.

Then, we moved on to paid posts and we enjoyed it so much because we get to rant and rave non-stop and get paid. Normally, we keep each other company late at night. We crap, bitch, chat a bit, write some paid posts and make each other laugh sometimes. It is very important to have blog buddies because we keep each other alert and update with stuffs.

In August 2007, Samm has finally hit the five digit Ringgit Malaysia income. Samm! Congrats. We proved that one can easily earn five digit Ringgit Malaysia. Yay!
