Articles on My Blogging Journey

Help me lower the rate of blogger burnouts!

We all work really hard every day to research and publish the most wonderful articles for our readers, and I can already feel the satisfaction when your blog gets read, when you get comments, and when people start coming in and telling you “Thanks! Neat Stuff!” I’m very inspired by the authors of [...]

Alexa Ranking Up!

I’m actually quite reluctant to post this (because I think too much of ranking updates might let the cat out of the bag and portray how vain and egoistic I am :D), but I really want to log my blogging progress. My Alexa Ranking has gone up in 2 days, the jump this time [...]

I was Blogtipped! Yaaee!

I just realised that I was blogtipped by Easton from BusinessBlogwire for this month! Wheeeee!! Thanks Easton! Its a great encouragement for me! Haha… (and that’s what made me post a second update to revert my goals to 10 goals per week). What is Blog Tipping? Here’s it! Blogtipping [...]

Reinforcements have arrived!

Before I start thinking and researching today’s post, I want to announce something! My books from Amazon.com have arrived! Finally! It took over three weeks to arrive because I wanted to save on shipping, using VPost (Singapore Post’s Virtual Mailbox service) Here are the five books! The Corporate Blogging Book - Absolutely Everything You Need to [...]

Alexa Ranking and Blogging Goals

Alexa has updated my traffic ranking again - this time to 262,259. Wondeful! While the jump is not a tremendous as the previous one, it is still an improvement! I was doing my homework, analysing the successful blogs on my daily reads, and I realise that some blogs have Alexa Rankings in four digits, [...]

Alexa ranking up, and now number one in Yahoo!

Just for record purposes. Alexa ranking has gone up again! This time below 300,000! So happy. I guess since Alexa is taking a 3 month aggregate, it should stabilize after my first three months. Anyway, yae! Oh yes, my mentor also informed me that Yahoo! was just doing a database [...]

The Professional Blogger’s Poem

Don’t ask me how and why I came up with this. I’m no poet. It comes when it just comes. Hate your job? Start a blog. Pick a good niche, whichever one you wish. Learn how to write, with all your might. Use your own voice, blogs give you that choice. Write from your heart, and it’ll be [...]

Page Rank and Alexa Traffic Ranking

Wonderful! I just realised today that my Alexa ranking has gone up to 353,226! It was just barely ten days ago that I mentioned that it just got below 500,000. I’m surprised that Alexa came back with a new ranking so quickly. Not bad for a blog less than 2 months old, starting [...]

Modelling the Experts for Success

I spent some time in the past few days looking around and modelling from the best blogs out there in the blogosphere, and made tweaks to this blog to model after these professional bloggers. Look and Feel I’ve made the titles bigger, and changed the font, so they stand out more from the text itself - well, [...]

Blogging is a Social Activity

Blogging is sooooo much a SOCIAL thing! Hahas Blogging is not only about personal publishing and having that personal voice and having your opinions published, and frequent updates. Its is also about reading other’s blogs, commenting on other’s posts, really making friends in the blogosphere halfway round the globe and conversing on the [...]
