Microsoft Office "12"

Have we check our Windows news lately?

If not, maybe this posting will give us some idea about it.
Other than the cool keyboard shortcuts that I've been listed down before , there is some part that I want to higlight it here.
Yup, it's about the Microsoft Office "12".

What is Microsoft Office "12"?
-----------> This is the most significant release of Microsoft Office since Office 95,” Gates said. “Office ‘12’ has all the essential ingredients to deliver an incredible productivity boost for millions of people around the world. But that’s only half the story.
The expansion of server and developer capabilities in Office ‘12’ are a great illustration of what is possible with today’s platform. These improvements will help spur greater group and organizational productivity and expand the opportunities for developers.” -microsoft-

Microsoft Office "12" is being redesigned (is it so special?) to make it easier for people (like us?) to find and use the features and commands they need to get the results they want (no need to think if we're a Linux user).

What makes the Microsoft Office "12" special?
------------> When planning the next release of the Microsoft Office system of products, we took on the challenge of making the core Microsoft Office applications easier to work with. Taking into account extensive usability data and recent advancements in hardware and software, the team has delivered the most significant update to the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) in more than a decade. The result of these efforts is a user interface that makes it easier for people to find and confidently use the appropriate features they need to get the results they want. -microsoft-

Let's take a look the new "appearance" for this Windows (click to enlarge):

1) Command Tabs.
2) Contextual Command Tabs.
3) MarginGalleries.

"Microsoft Ofiice "12" is expected to lauch/ship in the second half of the 2006, with a limited Beta released this fall".


Now, am I on my way to see a comment/opinion from you guys regarding this new Windows?

Chitika Is Not For Us?

The latest news that I've got (from chatting) is Chitika will not accept the publishers from the Asia...!!
Is that true...?

Maybe this is a joke but I will send an e-mail to the Chitika's support team regarding this matter.

Anyway, it's been 1 week for me (not online) to put an article in this blog.
Yeah... I don't have a time (quality time) for it.
Being as an Education Counsellor is not as simple as I thought before.
This job really "steal" my time and it's getting more "worst" lately.
However, I think I'm on a "track" for blogging now...LOL.
I'm bacckkk.....!!!

Yesterday, I've got an invitation from "_____" regarding the new way to make money (online) and currently, I'm still study for the fully method. Definitely, I will share it here later...!!

Opss... got another message. Gtg...

Thank you...!!!

To all my visitors,

This is the NEW blog from me. Actually, this blog is an "exchange blog" with the old blog that I have before (http://bloggerman.blogsome.com).

And for some reason, I have to shift from www.blogsome.com to this (blogger.com).

Btw, hope you will like my new "appearance"....

And for all this, I want to say thank you very much for supporting me all the time....!

Come on and be my friend......!!!!
p/s: please e-mail me if you want to PUT your link here...

Adsense Make Money: Last Journal ?

Ermmm...
Maybe this is the last episode of my true experience on adsense. So far, I don't have a problem with the adsense.... but I have a problem with the traffic indeed.

By the way, I hope all my readers still keep in touch with me ...!!!
For those who are still struggling with their adsense, just keep in our mind that..... there is no short-cut to succes.
Just take your own time to promote your site or blog to the "WORLD".

Now, back to the blog promotion.
In my previous posting, there is a certain part that still not clear right?
Now, just give a high focus on this next step of promotion.

MANUALLY.

Honestly, I could not hesitate to use this kind of promotion because the effect was good. But remember ... if you have your own way to promote your site, please PROCEED! This is just an addiitional step to next stage (especially for adsense beginner-as I said in My Journal 1-).

And, if you ask me about the comparison between this 2 type of promotion, my answer is it's very different.
The big differential about this kind of promotion is about TIME. Yup...!
Actually, it takes a long time but it's MORE EFFECTIVE. But HOW?

Fyi,
The url's submission is not the only way to boost the traffic. We need a very good "practical" type of promotion. For this reason, I'd already asked many questions to "succeed blogger". One of the MOST valueble statement come from Mr Sid & LcF and it sounds like this
"Just give yourself a time to improve your adsense and normally it will take 1 to 2 year to become perfect.."
So, all I wanna say is don't wait for the MIRACLE's happen.... because in this "adsense-industry", we can't make it happen within one day.

As I said, I asked so many questions from the "succeed-blogger".
In order to "create" the bonding, there is a few way to promote our blog.

1) Exchange Link by submit to the directory.
2) Personel e-mail.
3) Via Forum.


1) Exchange Link.
This is my first choice to create internet users "awareness". Just take a look at MY TOOLS down-left there.
Still have a doubt?
If you do, just type "lampusuluh" at the google search bar, easily you will see my 'links" to this icons.
Isn't that great to see your "blog-name" at the BIG search engine webpage like GOOGLE?

Read more...

2) Personel e-mail.
Do not hesitate to ask somebody or others if you have a confusing-fact. This can be done via e-mail and I did it before.
It's a fastest way to release your confusing. But, if we have a questions with the google adsense... better for us to contact the adsense support team. Don't worry about the reply because adsense will reply your e-mail a.s.a.p.
It's just a matter of time. But, trust me... adsense will e-mail you back within 24-36 hours.

3) Via Forum.

Wooo.... this is my favourite way to promote my blog.
It is because I can learn so many things that google's not tell. However, it may take a long time to attract the forum's member to your site. What the best about this "skill" is that we will learn new things everyday.
And normally, we can study the same problem that we're faced.
For me, the best forum that I've ever joined is:

1) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/
2) http://www.webmastermalaysia.com/

For those who want to share the tip on "how to get a higher traffic", it's a big PLEASURE for your kindness. I will publish your tips here if you send it to me (via my e-mail).

Place Images Above The Google ads.

"The more we know, the more we don't know..."

This is an reply e-mail from Jeff.... one of the Google's support team members.
I did e-mail him a few days ago regarding the images above my google's adsense.
And maybe this can help you too.

So, here you are...

Hello,

Thank you for your email. I understand that you would like to know if
publishers may place images above their Google ads. Unfortunately, we are
unable to provide a blanket answer, as it truly depends on the
circumstances of each implementation. In some instances, images may be
placed above the ads without any harm.

However, there is also the possibility of attributing "undue attention" to
the ads if the images placed above ads are misleading or seem to be
directly associated with the advertisers and their offerings.

If users click on ads without the intention of converting to customers, advertiser
costs can be artificially inflated. Drawing undue attention to ads is in
violation of our program policies, so we are unable to sanction every
instance of this implementation.

If you choose to experiment with placing images directly above the ads, I
would strongly encourage you to maintain a "visible border" around the ad
units to reduce the possibility of confusing users.

For additional questions, we suggest you visit our AdSense Support site at
https://www.google.com/support/adsense . If you're unable to find an
answer to your question on our site, please feel free to reply to this
email.

Sincerely,

Jeff
The Google AdSense Team.

Chitika's Solution.

Many of us still worried about the Chitika's payment right...?
So, maybe this statement may release the "question".
The latest news from Chitika stated that they will make a payment via check same as Google's did.

Take a look:

- August 2005 payments have been sent out via Paypal. If you had traffic in August 2005 and your accumulated payout has exceeded $10, you should have received a Paypal payment. As promised, we are now Net-30. Good News: We now support checks for countries that dont support Paypal. We will send you a check when your balance crosses $50.

- On Sept 20th, our system experienced an intermittent outage for about 6 hours in the tracking and reporting system. The problem has now been rectified. Due to this outage, you might notice a slight drop in your stats for the 20th. We will make every effort to calculate and compensate for any lost revenue.

- Payments are sent around the start of every month. You will receive your payments approximately 30 days after the end of the month in which your account's total generated revenue exceeds $10.00. More information is available in the Frequently Asked Questions

Adsense Make Money: My Journal (12)

What is Online Promotion?

In My Journal (11), I promised that I will share the ideas about promotion (online promotion).
So, let's check it out.

Now, the fact is....if we want to tell the WORLD about our blog, we need a hugh exposure for that reason. No matter how much weknow about the "market", we still have to do the promotion. For me, the internet is the best way because we knew that the numbers of internet users are increased day by day.

Let me tell you something.
Those days (when I was ZERO-in adsense affiliation-), I really want the WORLD notice about my blog.... but I don;t know how to do it. Then, I asked my friend Mr Sid regarding this method and later I know that there is 2 type of promotion in for this reason.
1) Automatically. 2) Manually.


1) Automatically.

-This is the "easiest" way to explode your promotion. I did it in my past time but now, I know that this is not the only way for me to promote my site. And at the same time, there is so many arguement about this kind of promotion.

In another words, I can say it as a url submission "online" via search engine marketing.
At this stage, the "promotion" word has already shifted to "submit".
Why am I said that?
It is because all the promotion can be done by using this style.

How am I supposed to know that my "promotion/submission" was done correctly?
The answer was quite easy. When you submit your site to the "3rd party" man, they will send an e-mail to you for the confirmation.

Who is this "3rd party" man?
This is a provider(paid or free) or SEO(free) side that will do the "rest" for you.
Well, it's gonna be like this:
Basically, we want the WORLD know about our blog right??
So this is the best way for us to achieve the dream. We may submit our url to the provider by paying them a little bit of amount or buy their software (paid). The other one is via free submission and I'm the one in the millions that's use this "utilities".

But, there is a different in terms of the total for the "Search Engine" that involved.
And to best word to describe it is "No money, No Quantity".

So, how about the FREE submission...?
It's true and this is the best example for that (Free Download)

Yuppp... we also can submit our blog url to the search engine like Yahoo, Google or MSN. There is so many search engine right now and you may submit it altogether.
Another way that we can do is by "exchange links" and "link up" with the famous site and also by RSS.

For that part, I will share it in the next posting of online promotion.
See yaaaa...!

Adsense Talk About Chitika.

This is the latest e-mail that I've received from the Google support.
In my previous posting, I did mentioned about the permission from Google support regarding Chitika.
Eventhough Darrens' already "clear" the "situation", but I just wanna share more about it.

So, this is it:

Hello,

To the best of my knowledge, the Chitika program uses contextually
targetted ads which, according to our program policies, may not be
displayed on the same page as Google ads on your site.

Chitika mini-mall ads can however be used in conjunction with Adsense
if they are set to be non-contextual.

Just to set your mind at ease, your account is unlikely to be immediately
banned from AdSense should you inadvertently violate our competing ads
policy.

We regularly review sites in the AdSense program for compliance with our
program policies and, in this case, would send you an email pointing out
the violation and asking you to rectify the situation.

For additional questions, we suggest you visit our AdSense Support site at
https://www.google.com/support/adsense . If you're unable to find an
answer to your question on our site, please feel free to reply to this
email.

Sincerely,

Andrew
The Google AdSense Team.

Subject: Adsense or Chitika...?
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2005 04:19:40 -0000

I'm here... and my adsense too...!!! Prove me wrong!

Woooo.... this is too much...!
I never thought that I will be the next victim for this type of people...
This people's actually just wanna take advantage from the adsense beginner like me...
What a shocked...!!!

Just now I checked my blog report via Extreme Tracking.
I noticed that there is a link from the Funponsel Blog..
At first, I just assumed that this is a normal referrals links.
Then, I click at that link and guess what I found....?

I'm felt very disappointed with this kind of people.
All I can say is this is my "beta" because I didn't mean to publish it. I'd just clicked at the wrong button.
By the way, why this people always wanna make this "small" thing as their "favourite issue" ?
Don't you have anything else to do...?

It is not professional to publish my "beta" as your main topic/title.
No need to write this because this is my "beta" and it's so rude if you wanna make this link "Misleading Message to Lead Visitors Click on AdSense Ad?" as a "new idea".

How can this people wrote their opinion regarding my beta like that?
I'm still earned the money from Google and my adsense still works as normal as them!

And the most important, my account is still active....!!

Shame on you...LOL...!!!!

Chitika v/s Adsense?

Last few days, I just send an e-mail to Adsense support department with NO REASON.
Even I knew about this pay-per-click via adsense, but there is some people outside there still confused about the different between "pay-per-click programme", "autosurf programme" and "new contextual advertising program".
I will tell you about the reply e-mail from Adsense support later.

Since Chitika released their own "damn good" advertise programme, it's really generated more profit to the webmasters all over the world. I'm on my way to add the Chitika. How about you then....?

Now, I will elaborate more about Chitika.
Chitika ads are a new way to make money from your website.
What's the best thing about Chitika is the Contextual Advertising Program (CAP) that is called Chitika's eMiniMalls.

I know maybe some of you still have a doubt about this new programme. And it's confusing me too at first...!
But, my doubt settled because of one message that I've received from my friend.
In that's message, he told me that Darren's will help you on this.
What I want to say here is that Darren's already help me for this confusing.
Let's take a look:

Problogger has an excellent review about the Chitika eMiniMalls ad services. And he has verified that both ad services can work together.

"I’ve talked to Google about this via email. The first email I got back from them said ‘no’ you can’t use them for two reasons:

1. They look too similar to Adsense Ads
2. They are contextual ads

I decided to follow the email up pointing out two things.

1. They actually don’t look like Adsense ads - they have a picture in them, tabs etc. I think the mistake Adsense made at first was in confusing mini-malls with Chitika’s other ads which do look very similar to Adsense ads.
2. You can actually disable the contextual element of the ads and plug in code that targets a specific product.

The email I received back said that they were sorry for making a mistake and that Chitika mini-mall ads can be used in conjunction with Adsense IF they are set to be non contextual.

Isn't that a good news...? LOL...!!!

Adsense Make Money: My Journal (11).

Now let's continue with our basic topic.
Do we still remember about the "DENSITY" topic...?
Do we use it to check the density for our articles...?
For those who still can't get it, just go to My Journal (10) first. If you're prefer to do it with your own way, it's okey..... but, if you want to share to share it together with us... that will be MORE okey.... LoL...!!!

Now, what is the next step...?
The next step is "update' your knowledge about the adsense. Feel free to learn more adsense tips in the internet.
All I can say here is just "learn" and keep more info about adsense. I promise that I will list down the best site and forum for you to "join" in order to enhance our knowledge regarding this matter.

For now, I'm going to share with you about my another step.
This is the most tough (technically and mentally) that I've ever did regarding this "adsense-business". But, I'm pretty damn sure you will continue your "make money with adsense" if you're with me since at first, right...????
Congratulatios...!!

Before I tell more into it, let me ask you something.

How to tell the WORLD about our blog?
1) By mail?
2) By mouth?
3) By e-mail?
4) By sms?
5) By advertisement?

Hah... hah... hah....!! For me, I can say all the answer above is a right answer. But, some of them are not practically and it will give us a high cost and "too risky" (avoid from getting ban..!).
So, what is the best way to tell the WORLD about this?

Based on my experience, the best way for me to tell the WORLD about my blog is by "ONLINE PROMOTION". There is a big different between this method of promotion and the rests.

Well, how about this?

Direct deposit from AdSense via EFT.

Times to get real...!

For those who are in this 16 supported country, you should happy with this news. Now, Google already launched his "non-BETA" Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

This is the latest statement from Adsense (September) or (maybe I'm the last person that notice about this)....

"Publishers who have already received payments through EFT don't need to do anything – they can continue to have their payments conveniently deposited directly into their bank accounts.

If you would like to sign up for the first time, you'll need to enter your bank account information through your AdSense account. We'll then make a small test deposit into that bank account – once you've verified the amount of this test deposit, you'll be all set up for direct deposit. Please note that, if you signed up during the beta period but didn't receive a payment, you'll need to register your bank account again now and complete the verification process."


"Bye, bye, beta..."
Posted by Alexa - Adsense Publisher Support
9/30/2005 04:37 PM

If you've logged into your account in the past couple days, you might've noticed that Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT for short) is officially out of beta. So what's changed? Our process for verifying bank account information has improved.

After you submit your bank account information, we will place a small test deposit into your bank account for you to keep. Once you see this test deposit credited to your account, just input the amount of the deposit into your AdSense account to help us verify your bank account information.

Testing your bank account before we make your payments means a greater chance of an error-free deposit. From now on, if you choose to use EFT, you can rest assured that we're taking the steps to make your payment successful.

We're excited about this launch and want to thank all of you who took part in our beta testing phase. We appreciate your help.

Are you ready for it...????

More info .....

For Malaysian Blogger.

Okey... it's time for me to share this idea with Malaysian Blogger.
Just wanna talk about Google Adsense... that's all.
My friend, all you need is a 1 minute to read this simple article and it may change your life...!!


(For those yang terror dalam programming, please ignore this statement.)

Okay, let's start:

1) Berapa lamakah masa yang telah korang luangkan untuk personel blog/forum chatting korang...??

2) Kalau korang selalu online di cybercafe, dah berapa puluh/ratus/ribu ringgitkah yang telah korang kasi pada tokey cybercafe tu selama mana korang online di cybercafe nya ...?

3) Apakah yang telah korang dapat daripada blog/chatting korang...?
i) Kawan.
ii) Glamour.
iii) Enjoyfull.
iv) Wasted time.
v) Nothing!

4) Sampai bilakah korang dapat "mempertahankan" blog korang...?
i) 1-3 tahun...?
ii) 3-5 tahun...?
iii) Lebih 5 tahun...?
iv) Sampai lepas kahwin...?
v) Sampai dah beranak-pinak....?

Please jawab dengan hati nurani korang yang jujur tu yea...

Okey, now cuba korang bayangkan pulak apa yang korang boleh buat dengan GOOGLE Adsense nie.
(Bagi yang telah membuat programme ini dengan Google, sila abaikan mesej ini).

Katakanlah korang boleh BUAT DUIT dengan blog korang tu, korang berminat tak...?
Macam mana...?

Haaa.... itu satu soalan yang bagus!
Begini, cuba korang bayangkan kalau setiap posting yang korang selalu hantar kat dalam blog korang itu dibayar oleh Google...?
YAAAA... Google ...!
Kalau korang tak kenal ngan Google, abaikan jelah mesej ini.

Setakat ini, siapa yang telah menjadi pembaca setia blog korang...?
Kawan-kawan...? Sedara...? Orang kampung...? Atau satu Malaysia..?

Mana yang lebih bagus..?
Korang nak satu Malaysia yang baca blog korang ker, atau satu dunia dapat baca blog korang...?
Haaaa.... mestilah satu dunia kan...?

By that, inilah yang aku nak sampaikan... Sekarang nie, apakata korang buat satu blog yang boleh menarik perhatian pembaca dari negara-negara lain di seluruh dunia ini?

Dan, pastikan content yang korang tulis tu boleh memberi faedah pada diaorang... contohnya kalau korang terror programming, buatlah blog tentang programming... kalau korang terror tentang kereta, buatlah tentang kereta.... kalau korang terror tentang memasak, buatlah blog tentang resepi.....tunjukkan kepakaran korang dalam blog korang..!

Dan atas usaha korang nie, korang akan dibayar oleh Google.com.
Berapa banyak yang akan dibayar...?
Senang sajer...! Itu korang yang tentukan lah.... !
Kalau korang nak satu bulan USD5000 dollar (RM20,000), korang buatlah sampai dapat. Sebab ini bukan skim cepat kaya, ini bukan gores dan menang, ini juga bukan autosurf yang mengarut tue... ini adalah program Google Adsense..!
Ni ada satu contoh yang bagus. Nama mamat nie Joel Comm. Bulan April yang lepas jer, dia dah buat USD25,000 ...!! Click here....

Google Adsense...??? Apa menatang tuh..?

Cuba korang perhatikan ada tak perkataan "ads by google" kat webpages aku ni semua...?
Sebenarnya, saper yang ingin pergi ke site lain and dia click kat link yang ada tertera "ads by google" tuh, maknanya tuan punya website/blog tulah yang akan dapat duit...! Simple and just like that...!!!

Program ini adalah satu program kerjasama korang ngan Google.com
Tidak perlu apa-apa bayaran, tidak perlu kad kredit, tidak perlu beli apa-apa...
Cuma yang perlu adalah sama dengan apa yang korang telah buat dengan personel blog korang iaitu masa dan juga idea.

Dah ramai dah join program Google ini dan kepada yang telah mempunyai program ini, sila abaikan statement ini.
Yang perlu difikirkan ialah sama ada korang nak dengan tak nak jer...
Sebab dah ramai rakyat Malaysia yang dah dapat RM2000 hingga RM4000 tiap-tiap bulan.... Korang tak nak ker..? Malah ada yang earned lebih RM10,000 setiap bulan.

Pendek kata, macam gini:

1) Apakah yang akan korang dapat daripada blog baru ini...?
i) Kawan.
ii) Glamour.
iii) Enjoyfull.
iv) Knowledge.
v) Money...!!!! (from Google-pay by check).

2) Sampai bilakah korang dapat "mempertahankan" blog korang...?
Tak de hal punya... silap-silap korang akan berhenti kerja dan jadi full-time blogger making money online dari rumah korang sendiri..!!!!

Habis, kalau dah tiap-tiap hari dapat duit..... korang tak nak ker...?
Please don't ask about my income... but ask yourself how much income you wanna make...!
He...he....he....pendek kata, memang syoklah buat Google Adsense nie....!

Sebab tulah, dengan rendah hati... bagi sesaper yang teringin nak buat pendapatan sampingan, silalah amik tips percuma kat blog aku.

Kenapa aku baik sangat?
Mana ada aku baik sangat, kalau korang kata aku nie baik, dah lama dah aku kasi DUIT hasil program Google adsense nie kat korang mentah-mentah gitu jer.... ye tak...?
Cuma apa yang aku boleh kasi ialah "jalan" untuk membuat program nie jer....

Aku tak kenakan sebarang bayaran pun... itupun kalau korang nak laaa... kalau tak nak, tak yah.
Untuk bangsa Malaysia aku sendiri, aku tak kisah ....
Korang nak ker...?

Kalau korang nak, semuanya ada kat sini. Ini adalah kisah benar aku dari hari pertama aku start blogging sampailah akaun aku ada duit.
So, korang boleh mula dari ------> SINI..!!
