Busy, Life Ahead

2 weeks without blog updates, lol: I’m a very ‘busy’ man now. Problems keep coming and coming. Now trying to find a place to live, anywhere around here. Got kicked out from college on-the-spot just because I don’t have Mawi-styled hair..funny isn’t it? They should learn more on how to kick students out. (Tangkap students w/o soalsiasat, hukum w/o AKTA 147 + peraturan sendiri + bodek2 + tindakan serta-merta) / (guna kuasa yg ada) = Naik pangkat!.. Everyting are political!!.. Studies? Got packed timetable from 8am-5.30pm everyday, and now has been my first priority. Don’t have time even to read your blog. Got the news of MUET result out, heard lot of friends got Band 4,5,6. What happened to the marking system this time? I got 4 (a mark to band 5) after struggling hard, how come they easily got 4 but can’t speak, pronounce, and write well in the real world?. I don’t know..

New project? Okay! This month is special! I’ve installed this blog with program. Last month’s earning was USD2X.XX, now USD58.33 (not to show off) from them for 20 days only from this blog. Worth isn’t it. The tricks are easy, get high traffic for your blog (so that your blog approved for the program), post more (so that your blog have more *words related to advertiser’s need*, and you’ll be notified once any link sold. Payment made monthly. English blog only. Have a try now!.

Another project was the new site and services for my business. Just made company registration renewal, 70% finished. The site will be up soon, but not now. Need to focus more on studies for the moment. High investment and risk-taking here. Huhu..~ Oh!, not to forget, got an Entrepreneur subject this semester, planning to get this project into real business. PUNB help is greatly appreciated.

Anyway, just got my new LG Viewty phone from Ebay. Hehehe… Love my hacked iFish 2.0 theme from Apple iPhone. Now I’m a LG phone user. Interesting, it’s worth the buying after rejecting to buy N95 or several more 5MP phone, with it’s Schneider Kreuznach lens, Xenon flash and 120 frames per second video recording. Hehe..

This is my last semester here. Will be spending more time with friends. Okay, stop by now, wish me good luck!

New Honda Jazz to be launched end of year

Got news about the second generation Honda Jazz. Just one word comes out from me, Wow!. A well designed compact car in all aspects! This Jazz will be launched before the end of the year. Few changes made, such there are only 1.3 and 1.5 liter i-VTEC engines. Now let’s have a look at most of pictures.

The back looks so so damn hot!

I’d better take it if you dont want the car..

Available in Briliant White Pearl, Nighthawk Black P, Silver Stone M, Cerulean Blue M, Aabaster Silver M and Rallye Red color. No pricing information yet, but if Jazz were about to sell more than RM100k, I’m sure to prefer new Civic VTEC more. Ahaha..

ps: First thing to be done will surely to change it’s RIM. Huhu..

pps: SEO oh.. SEO! Looks like Indonesia got better position ranking in Malay word search results.

Goodbye Google Adsense for Referrals

As usual, I woke up in the morning, check for emails, tickets, PM’s, and notes sent to me. Got email from Google stating that they’ll be retiring Google Adsense Referral. Read the mail:

Hello,

Thank you for participating in the AdSense Referrals program. We’re writing to let you know that we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program during the last week of August. We appreciate your patience during this transition and here are some alternative options to consider:

Google Affiliate Network: As part of the integration of DoubleClick, the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network will now operate as the Google Affiliate Network for advertisers targeting users located in the United States. Similar to the AdSense Referrals program, the Google Affiliate Network enables publisher to apply for advertiser programs and get paid based on advertiser-defined actions instead of clicks or impressions. For further details, please visit:www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork.

AdSense for content ads: If you have less than three AdSense for content ad units on a page, you may wish to replace the referral ad units with standard AFC ad units.

If you currently use referral ads, either to promote Google products or offerings from AdWords advertisers, AdSense Referrals code will no longer display ads beginning the last week of August. We encourage you to take the following steps before the product is retired:

Remove the referral code from your site(s): Please take a moment to remove all referral code from your sites before the last week of August, so you can continue to effectively monetize your ad space.

Run and save all referrals reports on your desktop: Create and save all reports related to the referrals program on your desktop, so you continue to have access to your valuable campaign information

Why is this happening?

We’re constantly looking for ways to improve AdSense by developing and supporting features which drive the best monetization results for our publishers. Sometimes, this requires retiring existing features so we can focus our efforts on the ones that will be most effective in the long term. For this reason, we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program. If you have any additional questions, please visit our Help Center:
http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=14882

Sincerely.

The Google AdSense Team

Good move from Google. The referrals weren’t particularly effective for me. My total income were based on Adsense for Contents. Referrals have been underperforming most of the time. The last 2 months I got my account disable for whatsoever-i-don’t-know reason. Now that It’s growing up again for better flow.

Adsense for Referrals has been in the shadow of the normal AdSense ads for quite some time. We’ll be looking forward to the launch of Google Affiliate Network.

A Special Gift from Bob!

I know Bob by the theme BlogOhBlog designed him long ago, since he was the owner of BlogOhBlog. i acknowledge him to be the great, fast and independent designer. He blogs well too! Bob is one of my respectful person. To be honest, I actually learned to create Wordpress theme based on his themes. Although I’m not actually know him in the real world, but I’ve been following his activity (silent follower since I don’t have blog yet that time) since he was with BlogOhBlog.

After 5 months owning BlogOhBlog web, on November 2007, he decided to sell his domain/site and put the site for bid on Site Marketplace. At first, I was disagree, the domain was PR6, with great Alexa and Technorati rank. Dem! Is this for real? . But, considering at the age of the site (5 months only!!) and the site was sold for USD10,000 to Jai. It was sure a really great investment. Imagine, a Malaysian blog been sold for USD10K! This showed Bob really focused on his job, and he’s good!.

Now that Bob blogs at his own .my blog, BOB.MY, using Simple theme designed by him. I searched anywhere for the theme. After many of readers asked for his current theme, he’s giving away it for free!! Wow!!!

And now he’s giving away a present for those who qualify the review about Bob.my, a Simple Pro Wordpress theme. Every of his hardwork, even for freebies, were excellent. So far, I never found any of his scratch design. I love his design, serious. And I can say he’s the greatest Malaysian wordpress designer. Read here.

I am now thinking to have my own .my blog too. soon… Hehehe

Dem! .MY for RM120/year? Do you find any, cheaper? huhu…

Paper product prices increase 10% to 40%?

After the fuel hike, now up with the paper products. The paper and stationary products will increase by 10% to 40% and may rise to 50% by the end of the year.

“The industry has tried to overcome the price surge without increasing product prices but we cannot sustain it anymore, so we are forced to increase the price of these materials and products.

“The public doesn’t have to rush and buy these products, as the increase will be gradual.”

Yeah!… Guess we don’t have to rush.. You won’t be surprise seeing DoubleA paper for about RM16 and even IndahKiat for RM13.. Dem!!

ps: After the fuel price hike, you’ll be seeing alternatives to cut down the fuel cost, how can you save money now?

pps: Kemut giler!!!

Toilet paper also increase!! After this you need to pay more to enter toilet! Huhuhu…
