How to Increase Your Traffic??

A Blog with good content without reader might frustrating you as a blogger. Content is No.1# factor getting good and quality traffic. (quality traffic = reader who really enjoy your posting, not only droped by and out) No matter how smart and hard you are trying to promote your blog, but without a good contents the your visitor are not going to be your readers.

From my experience and reading, the best way to get a good traffic was participating in any campaign that other blogger organize, by giving a comment to the campaign or review their campaign will help you to increase your traffic, the visitor who visit your blogsite after they read your comment or review from others blog was already attracted to your writing, that give you an advantage to get them stay tune with your blog and be your regular readers. Digg is perfect place to create your network by giving a comment to any popular topic. Be the first to leave a comment in a popular blog also will give a big impact to your traffic, maybe you can try to be the first giving a comment to JohnChow.Com or ProBlogger.Net or zacjohnson.com..

Another method that I have been used to increase my traffic is, posting a feedback in any forum, but that's not all, you must put your URL or any thing that will link to your blog at your signature, each time you posting a feedback to any topic people will look at your signature and there are chances to get them in.

The first thing to join a forum in order to increase your traffic, by choosing a popular topic which mean that the topic got a good respond and have a good number of reply on it. But do not just spamming your post into the forum but give a good comment. (good comment - doesn't mean that you have to give only a compliment, a good critics is also a good comments but don't attack with abusive language) or a comment that maybe could attract other forum member will also give you a credit to your rank and blog.

Being friendly with other blogger also a nice way to get a traffic, give them a comment in their blog or any good advise will attract their reader to visit your blog too.

You also can start your good comment here.... what are your waiting for?

My RSS Subscriber Increase to 200%

If you are my regular reader then you should aware that I had changed my RSS Feed icon to the bigger size. Why did i change the icon to the bigger one? From my readings and observation the icon size and the design will also give an influence to the reader to click and subscribe your RSS Feed. My Feed subscriber increase to 200% after 10 days I change to the new icon. It is a wonderful thing to see your subscriber number getting bigger each day, it is a good and effective motivation for me to keep on blogging.

Malaysia 12th Election 8March2008 - Results

Pak Lah just announce and formed a new government for the 12th Election(PRU12), Barisan National still the majority in Parliement of Malaysia with simple majority...

This is the first time Barisan Nasional won simple majority in Parliement and I think Pak Lah should do something about this… the biggest lost for BN since the 1st election.. What happened Pak Lah?
From the latest election result:- Kelantan, P.Pinang, Kedah, Perak and Selangor are now has been took over by the opposition parties.

I dont really mind my hometown, Kelantan won by PAS, because there is nothing to surprise about it, Kelantanese had been choose PAS for 18years and next 4 years, why should i surprise about it? But how come BN lost in Penang? I blamed the strategy to get Dr. Koh into Parliament for the lost of BN, Chinese voters felt doubt about this, they though that Pak Lah try to replace Dr. Koh with UMNO candidate as Chief Minister... Pity Penang, As Malays thought “Yang dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran".

How about the 3 others (Kedah, Perak & Selangor) that also has been took over by the opposition? BN Internal problem?, Racial issues?(HINDRAF), New candidates? Khairy Jamaluddin? No matter what is the reason or factor that make all this happened, Pak Lah will face the next 4 years without 2/3 majority in parliament and this is a hard-tough years for Pak Lah and also the government.

Dr. Koh Tsu Koon - President Gerakan -> Lost
Samy Vellu - President MIC -> Lost
Syahrizat Abd Jalil - Lembah Pantai -> Lost
Dr. Awang Adek - Bachok -> Lost
Nik Aziz Nik Mat - Chempaka ->Won
Abd Hadi Awang - Marang -> Won
Karpal Singh -> Won
