Happy July 4th

Happy Independence Day to all who are from the United States of America.

There is no celebration here. In fact, it is like a constipated day because my broadband is like tortoise and I have a stack of assignments to complete within the next few hours. I had been holding on and thought the speed will improve but it just won’t move. So, like it or not, I gotta sit here and load a page, go to the kitchen and fry some chicken, come back the load another page, go to the kitchen and continue turning over the chicken in the kitchen, come back and start a post and go to the kitchen to dish out the chicken come back…okok okok, you can imagine how slow, slow is.

Have a good weekend to all.

Why Wordpress users should know about Wordpress Spam Injection

If you are using Wordpress, you should know about wordpress spam injection. Otherwise, your blog may be hit and yet, you are not aware of them.

So, whose blogs are most likely to get hit?

1) Blog with high pagerank
2) Blog with good keywords
3) Blog with good traffic

How do we know?

We won’t know because it is not easy for us regular users to trace it. You cannot see the spam links inserted by viewing source codes. For us who are not experts, we won’t even know where to start searching. I read a few posts and still do not understand the workaround it.

What are the signs?

1) You are suddenly getting PSA ads on the main page.
2) Your traffic dropped
3) And if left unattended, you will lose your pagerank and get some good keywords de-indexed

Who are behind these?

Blackhat SEO who uses dirty tactics to inject their spammy links into your blog without your knowledge.

I saw PSA ads on my personal blog and wrote to Google Adsense. Here’s the reply I received :

Thanks for your email. I understand you are concerned about the fact that
public service ads are appearing on your site. Our specialists
investigated and found that pornographic links and links related to
prescription drug offers have been injected into the bottom of your pages.
These links are only visible to web crawlers so you may not see them if
you view the source of your pages. Because our system does not return ads
to pages detected to have adult content, relevant paid ads will not appear
until the links are removed. These links may have been placed on your site
without your knowledge in an attempt to boost other sites’ search engine
rank.

We’d recommend that you contact your webmaster to fix any site
vulnerabilities which may have allowed the links to be placed on your
site. For more information about security for webmasters, see
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/09/quick-security-checklist-for-webmasters.html.
You may also with to perform a search for results related to “wordpress
spam injection” for more information about the issue.

Once the links have been successfully removed, paid ads or more relevant
ads should start appearing again within a week.

Cheers,

Matt
The Google AdSense Team

How to prevent it?

Hopefully, you have someone who is an expert who can trace where they had inserted the codes. Remember that these people who inserted the codes are really expert and they can breach Wordpress security to get into our folders.

Also, let’s hope Wordpress patch up this real fast. I have a list of some useful sites which I have bookmarked. But let me solve my problems on wordpress spam injection first and see which links’ recommendation works.

How long does it take your blog to load?

Okay…that’s it! I am going to change my Wordpress theme again. Had been meaning to do it but never find time to sit down and concentrate.

Six months ago, I use a theme that has only 123kb and hence, it takes a short time to load. Now, my theme is taking a long time to load and sometimes, I need to refresh before they load properly. My current theme has 806kb. This is bad news….

I am either going to Wayback machine and see which theme I was using then or I shall go ’steal’ the same Wordpress theme from those whose blogs were listed way down on PimpMyPageRank list of fastest loading blogs.

Booyeah!

Thanks, Pimp for that little comparison list! Ouch, Pimp sounds so wrong and so does Mom on the make money blogosphere. Hehehe. Without Doubt the best SEO blog in the World.

List of Make Money blogs and their page load in KB.

And if you need to ask, “Why does pageload matters?”

Of course, it is very important! People will just go elsewhere if your site takes too long to load. Who has time to sit and wait for your blog to appear? So, go for simplicity. Anyone knows a nice, clean, light, bright Wordpress theme which is free, free, free?

Half a year gone, do you have resolutions to make money?

Once again, it is the end of the month (in the USA) and within the next few hours, I will be getting payments from TextLinkAds, ReviewMe and a few other ads companies. I love those companies who pays right on the dot. Then, there are those who pay around 10th of the month like LinkWorth, Kontera, Amazon, FoodBuzz and more.

Yesterday, I went to CIMB to cash my Adsense and I am pleasantly surprised that CIMB gives RM3.23 for every USD1. Woohoo, I earned more than RM100+, which are extras, because I normally base my calculations on lower exchange rates.

So, it is the end of June. Today is 1st July 2008. Half a year gone. How much have I made in the half year? I didn’t bother to calculate because the Excel spreadsheets were in my dead Vaio and though I have the backup in my external drive, it is too much of a bother to dig out the hard drive to download the files to my Mac.

I don’t keep resolutions even for my personal life. So, I definitely do not set very high targets for my make money blog. My target is, as long as I have make enough of a certain number, I will rest already. As for pagerank, I hope I can gain my PR5/10 on my personal blog and the rest of the blogs, PR remains status quo.

So, my resolution till the end of 2008 is to just take things easy. I will still explore ways to make money online but I will tread warily. Remember that there are more scams than truth in making money online. 80% of the claims are probably bullshits. But the future of monetizing our blogs is very bright.

Cheers to another six months of prosperous income!

Sikit-sikit jadi bukit, pendapatan melalui blog

The above title means, a little bit, a little bit will end up as a hill. Sort of making a mountain out of mole hill. But this applies to saving bit by bit to become rich.

That’s the advice from NoorizamShah.com on his post about making money. He mentioned to his blog reader that I had made RM10K from Nuffnang.

Well, it is so true. I started making money by earning my USD three cents from Adsense just like everyone else. USD0.03. Most Adsense clicks in Malaysia pays only USD0.03. From that 0.03 (hehehe, sounds like some condom ad), I slowly make the first USD10. And when I hit USD100, I was banned by Adsense due to fradulent clicks. Until today, I do not know what caused it. We will never find out.

But I re-apply and start from 0.03 again. So, if you are just making 10 cents per day from your ad income now, take heart. Everyone starts from zero. Don’t dream big. Start from zero.

Ta ta! I am off to cash my Adsense income at CIMB now.

Good posts on Adsense :

(Note : Now we can no longer insert ads below our blog title, please note this. And if you insert ads in between posts, you must make the ads stand out. I use a border in light colour)

Still the queen ruling money in Malaysia Google

I know I am boastful. If you are writing a make money blog, you need this streak to make people believe that you are not tokking kok only and are not full of bullshits. You need that occasional boast, screenshots, results and recognition.

In fact, majority of people who teach you how to make money blogging actually are just bluffing their way. I know one blogger who is always experimenting with keywords and trying to prove his method works. But what use is it when he cannot show a single paycheck or income? You think people believe it meh? Chey…

So, try to beat this.

1 BILLION! The keyword - Money. And my site is on the first page. Position #5 on Google Malaysia search results.

Picture 8.png

Imagine if you run a casino site and you place your magic formula to win money on my blog? Lots of money hungry people will buy the idea. But eheh, sorry I am not selling my blog anymore. Not even for USD12K. I won’t do it because I saw one famous blog doing some good Wordpress plugin who sold it to a casino site and I feel it is a huge compromise.

To God I give the credit because I don’t have any idea how my blog got there on page one for money keyword in Google Malaysia.

(BTW, imagine Firefox 3 has 8 million downloads. And a lot of people cannot find the back button on Firefox 3? Imagine….my blog is on the first page on some of Google search engines too)
