Old website design

Just browsing the net and found that my old, old website is still active. http://invtr.tripod.com. I access the page via ftp and download all the directories and files in it.

I found few old website designs I made in 2001 where I was still studying at MMU. Below are some of the screenshots

Busy week

So busy this week settling unsettled programming project with client. Do not have time to do my internet marketing work but still have time to monitor the result 🙂

Today I realize my blog and my few other sites has page rank on them. Hmm.. it has been almost 2 months since I register this domain name. Seems google is doing its major indexing to include/exclude/rank websites in its database.

So what I can conclude is you have 3 major milestones to achieve in building a high-traffic website

  1. Get indexed by search engine. How to check? Just type your URL on the search box. If it produces result then your site has been indexed (is in the search engine database)
  2. Get as many quality links as possible. How to do this? Find related websites/blogs/forums and post quality comments or request for link exchange with them.
  3. Place as many content on your website as possible, always update it with fresh content, write keyword-targeted content. How to target what to write? Search for high-demand keyword (you can use Overture Keyword Suggest Tool)

The MOST important thing – DO IT man.. don’t just know it and say it but do nothing about it. Take action!

Adwords problem

I’ve been changing some description and URL for my current adword campaigns. But seems it would not take effect immediately or few minutes after that as claimed. Sometimes it takes days for them to review and approve the ad campaign. And when it has been for almost a week, then I send them e-mail to let the ad campaign runs.
Need to focus on creating more ad campaign to promote websites and online products for this 2 weeks.

Provide FREE information

Recently I’ve downloaded e-book from Harvey Segal titled The Ultimate Super Tips. He provides few Free e-books on internet-marketing-related topic. Previously I’ve read his free e-book on affiliate marketing.

A very nice and well written e-book telling you on how to do the right marketing on the internet and how to provide free information to presell your products or affiliate programs. He is not using the SEO techniques but stress more providing free information (e-books and articles) to the mass and go viral when people get the free information and telling others about it (some through affiliate).

You can download the e-books free here.

Reading is easy. To implement what is being read is the hard part. Argh.

SEO techniques using blog

I really interested with the ebook titled Blogging to the bank. It ranked no. 7 now at clickbank.com. I’m going to purchase the e-book soon after settling all my pending jobs and projects. I did some research and read review written by some of the internet marketer online.

The e-book is actually about making money through affiliate program by getting free traffic from free blog with the SEO techniques.

Actually free blog like blogspot and blogsome are built with search engine friendly in mind.  And search engine loves blog because it always has fresh contents compared to websites that sometimes take months to be updated with new contents.
Some of the best features in most of the blog application is blog ping and friendly URL.

Blog ping in a simple words is getting your blog crawl by many blog directories once it is updated. The most popular one is ping-o-matic. While the SE Friendly URL is like yourdomain.com/your-post-title.

I’ve just created few other free niche blog with blogspot.com recently. Will update soon on the progress.

Back to work!

It has been few days I was busy with my new born little baby. So now its time to get back to work. I’ve been surfing around and read quite interesting posts on other internet marketers’ blog. About their upcoming projects, problems, achievements etc. They are doing great. Good for them.
Me too need sometime to review my goals and update my action plans. Chop off anything that is not working and unnecessary and start doing something that are working.
Will still concentrating on adsense income generation, affiliate marketing and work out for some new online businesses.

All I need are time and action! Just do it bebeh.

Welcome to the world!

I’m so happy today. My beloved wife gave birth to our 2nd child at 12.05 a.m. A baby boy. Now we have a pair of sweet children. They give me more strength to achieve my goals and to be a better father. I don’t know what to comment.

How to secure your PHP code on server

Long time ago, I’ve been searching for ways to secure my PHP code on hosting server or code installed on client’s server. As like compiled language such as C++ or VB, you can easily compile it as executable file (.exe) and you do not have to hand in your source code.

As for PHP, you can also do this by having additional code to encrypt your PHP code. Some of the softwares are

But as usual, there always smarter people than smart people. We can only do what we can. Encrpyted code is better than unencrypted one. At least more work needed to hack the code.

Registered with aweber autoresponder

After done research on autoresponders, finally I’ve decided to use aweber as my autoresponder service. I’ve paid for 3 months subscription for the service and if everything goes well, will continue to pay for one whole year.

Before this I’ve tested sendfree.com for free list. The service is quite OK but there are some limitations in the free service such as limitation on number of leads and no e-mail broadcasting service where you can send e-mail to all your leads (subscribers) immediately. This is important when you have a time-sensitive announcement or offer to be made.

Will update more on autoresponder tips soon. Will be busy creating list and adding messages to the list for this first few days.

Visit aweber website and just browse through its features. The price is OK with unlimited autoresponders you got.
