Get More Visitors To Your Blog

My visitor for today :) I got something I don't understand. Why I got visitor from Egypt? I don't have any friend from Egypt le. Haha. 

Well, lets talk about something serious :D Traffic is the reflection of success of a blog and blogger. A blog can be regarded as successful if it gets more number of your visitors. That the reason why every serious blogger is quite concern with their traffic and constantly tries to get more number of visitors. 

Do you know what is web traffic? According to Wikipedia, web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a website. it is a large portion of internet traffic. This is determined by the number of visitors and the number of pages they visit. Therefore, traffic is a measure of site's activity usually reflected by the number of visitors and number of page views. 

From my little experience that i gains from the last few months, I would like to share my experience on how to get more visitors.

1. Join Innit 

I use Innit to attract readers from Nuffnang's blogging community.What you need to do is just sign in, upload and post your latest post in Nuffnang. Very easy! This really help but this service only available to Nuffnang Glitterati members only :)

2. Write good content articles

Good content is the key to attract visitors to your website. The better the content, the more visitors you will attract. Creating good content would be like telling your story and your way and bla bla bla. LOL~ But most of my content is nonsense one. Anyway, will try my very best :)


3. Comment in other blogs

Do you know that the more comment the higher google ranking. Therefore, you can have your social media friends to comment on your post. Besides that, leaving comment on other blogs. People will come back to you. You can include a link to your website on each comment, and some visitors will come through those links.

4. Keep blogging! 

The more content that you have, the more visitors you will have! Because blog readers love content and are constantly looking for new information and content. If you provide it, they will find it, and if you continue to provide it, they will continue to return time and time to read it. Content is one of the most important aspects of the blogging process. Remember! If you are not posting content, your visitors will never find you. 

Happy Blogging! :) 

Hope this will be useful for you :)

Life is How You See





Bad can equal good and good can equal bad. It's all in how you look at it, ,make yours far from sad. Life is how you see if. No matter good or bad, if you find the good in things, the bad can't make you sad.

But if you do the opposite, when things don't go your way. You'll find yourself far from happy. Wishing for another day. Instead cherish all your days, all the good and bad, we must be happy for all we have, even if it makes us sad.

Thinks positive. No matter what happens, life still goes on and you have your loved one who always support you. You are a blessed one :)

Master's Degree VS Work Experience


Should I study master's degree or should I start working to gain work experience? 

Many students wonder what to do next after they finish their first cycle which is undergraduate studies. Yea, I am one of them but I have second solution which is doing both at the same time. But it would be very tiring because my weekend will be gone because I need to do part time study on Saturday and Sunday. My cousin told me that sometimes the class will be start  from 8am to 8pm ( Wow, 12 hours). Can I bear with it? 

According to some article, both master's degree and work experience is very important. For example, studying a master's degree can be a good option to gain fresh and advanced knowledge and even gain confidence within your area of expertise. At the other hand, work experience will provide skills that can't be taught in a classroom and that you will learn some things only through your own work experience.

It does sound very confusing though, but I still have to make a decision. Choose both or Choose either one. 


How about you? Are you having the same problem like me? :)

My Nuffnang Earning



This is a post regarding to my Nuffnang account. I am a new blogger although I started to blog since 2010, but I stop blogging from September 2010 until September 2011, almost one year probably because of my assignment. This is my last semester in doing my degree and you know la final semester more time for goyang kaki. LOL~ That the reason I start blogging again and at the same time can earn some pocket money. I am officially an active blogger in this month.

Seriously, I didn’t earn money from blogging but I still keep on blogging, because it has become a part of my life. Well, my current earning is 4.70. Still a long long journey to reach 50. Huh~I know it’s so little. But no worries, I am not depending on it to live with my life. 

Anyway, please support me, by either become my follower or drop some comment on my blog. Now I am so addicted with blogging, couldn't have myself to quit from blogging. Hmm~ keep the spirits going. Envy with those pro blogger who get so many buffered earning. When will be my turn? :( Some of the pro bloggers are very generous to share their own experience on how to get the buffered earning. So kind of them! :) Thanks you!

Meaning of Life


“People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else.” ― Jodi Picoult, Second Glance 


Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.


You never know who these people may be, a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger. When you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Cake Pops

Cakes used to be straightforward as they were round, square or rectangular, topped with butter icing and some colored icing flower.  As things get more complicated in this new century, cakes too, have become more complex. Now, we have cake popssss :) 

Here Kitty, Kitty! 

Spring Chickens..chirp chirp

Wedding Cake Pops...Love this :) 

It was during this period four years ago, that cake pop was born. It was hot stuff in the United States and as a big vote of confidence, even Starbucks began selling cake pops at its coffeehouses there.
Its origin, however, is unclear although many attribute it to the website bakerella.com where the blogger has been introducing her cake pops since January 2008.
A cake pop is essentially a cake on a lollipop stick, hence the name. 
Have a pop and find it yourself  and check out the video about cake pops :)

Cost per impression ads (CPM), 


On Nuffnang, they called CPM as buffered earning. To get assigned for buffered earnings from Nuffnang is something subjective. Not all bloggers will be assigned with CPM. If your blog received CPM or buffered earning ads running on your blog, then your money can easily growing.


Cost per click (CPC), 


It is a normal type of ads runs on any advertisement company. The problem is, Nuffnang ads is really looks like a Nuffnang with the Nuffnang symbol sometimes takes a lot of spaces. People do not like to click on ads. It is the fact that all of bloggers know. That’s why most of bloggers would prefer CPM ads.


Cost per lead (CPL) or Cost per action


Nuffnang owns Churp Churp. A website selling deal just like Milk Deal or Groupon. Every sales make from the ads appeared on your blog will give you certain amount of money.


Advertorial post


This is the most lucrative advertising method on Nuffnang. Not all bloggers able to get offered with advertorial post. If you received that offers, four digits money surely be yours.

太能算计者,快乐与他绝缘


       第一,一个太能算计的人,通常也是一个事事计较的人。无论他表面上多么大方,他的内心深处都不会坦然。算计本身首先已经使人失掉了平静,掉在一事一物的纠缠里。而一个经常失去平静的人,一般都会引起较严重的焦虑症。一个常处在焦虑状态中的人,不但谈不上快乐,甚至是痛苦的。

  第二,爱算计的人在生活中,很难得到平衡和满足,反而会由于过多的算计引起对人对事的不满和愤恨,常与别人闹意见,分歧不断,内心充满了冲突。

  第三,爱算计的人,心胸常被堵塞,每天只能生活在具体的事物中不能自拔,习惯看眼前而不顾长远。更严重的是,世上千千万万事,爱算计者并不是只对某一件事情算计,而是对所有事都习惯于算计。太多的算计埋在心里,如此积累便是忧患。忧患中的人怎么会有好日子过?

  第四,太能算计的人,也是太想得到的人。而太想得到的人,很难轻松地生活。

尊重


我們在與別人交往中,

總是會有這樣的經歷,

一句不經意的讚美,

一句抱歉及對不起之類的話語,

總會使人感到心情舒暢。

道理很簡單,

從中人們感覺自己受到了別人的尊重。

受到別人尊重是每個人的願望。

想要得到他人的尊重,

首先應當尊重他人。

只有當你尊重了別人,

你才有可能從別人那裡得到應有的尊重。

Sand & Stone


This is a story about two friends who were walking through a forest. At one particular point the two got into an argument and one friend hit the other in the face. The one who was hit was hurt, but without any word he wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face.’ 

They walked on until they found an oasis where they decided to have a bath.The one who had been hit got stuck in the mud and was drowning but the friend saved him When he came to, he carved in a stone:‘Today my best friend saved my life’ The friend who had hit his best friend then saved him asked:‘After I hit you you wrote this in the sand and now you carved in the stone that I saved you, why did you do this?’ 

The other friend answered:‘When someone hurts us we must write it in the sand where the wind of forgiveness can blow it away’ But if someone does a good deed for you, we have to carve it in stone where no wind can blow it away.’ Learn to write the hurt in the sand and carve your good experiences in stone.  It is said that it takes only a minute to find extraordinary people, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but it takes a whole life to forget them.

2012 Calender Designs

While come across in looking for calender ideas. I found this lovely calender 2012 with watercolor illustrations by Le Petit Elefant and lettering/layout by Paper & Type, features a different, monochromatic scene of communication on each seasonal page. Tear along the perforated line after you’re done with each page to create an art print, and come december, there’s a special postcard that you can use to send holiday wishes. 


More ideassss :) :) Sloe Gin Fizz’s 2012 calendar features twelve months of illustrated goodness. The seasonally-inspired illustrations are hand drawn and digitally colored by Sloe Gin Fizz’s own Nicole Ray.


Nature-inspired watercolor illustrations are featured in each month of Bookhou at Home’s 2012 wall calendar, which features an ample amount of white space on either side of the month to jot down notes.


And the fun and colorful Fruit calendar, which features a different fruity-licious illustration for each month of the year.

Gift Bow

I like reading others' blogs. Most of them are very inspiring and these people are very generous to share. Check out this gift bow that made from magazine page. Probably help you to save a few bucks.



In gift wrap emergencies when you've got the present but need some wrapping, here's an idea for turning a magazine page into a bow. There may be better ways to stick this thing together, but I used what I had on hand: staples and adhesive glue dots. Double stick tape should work, too.


Cut a magazine page lengthwise into 9 strips, 3/4" wide. Leave 3 of the strips full length. Cut one inch off 3 of the strips. Cut two inches off 2 of the strips. Cut the last strip down to 3 1/2" long. 


Twist each strip to form a loop at both ends and staple it in the center. Shape the last, short strip into a circle and secure it with a glue dot. 



Use other papers, like a map of your city. Now you can create your own gift bow :)
