Give Your Blog A Traffic Injection

Anyway, I’ve got lots to tell you about, what I’ve been up to the last couple of weeks, not least that I’ve been spreading my wings a bit, getting out and about the internet more than usual and I’ve been meeting some interesting new people.

But first, though, I wanted to give you all a heads up on something that you can jump in on right now…. to get some traffic to your blogs. It’s actually something that a new online aquaintance, Eoin O’Leary told me about…

Take a trip over to Jack Humphreys blog, Friday Traffic Report, and check out his Technorati Favorite Blogs Exchange.

All you need to do is leave a comment on his blog and follow his instructions.

More posts coming…… honest!

My Laptop is Burning Up!

Yep that’s right, my laptop is so hot you could fry an egg on it. Sadly, that’s not a clever euphemism for “wow, my laptop’s on fire cos I’m churning out so much work”!

My laptop really is like Mount Vesuvius, waiting to erupt at any minute!

For the past month or so, every time I put my laptop on my lap, I ended up with scorched thighs, which I can assure you, isn’t a pretty sight! I know Rod Stewart opined on the virtues of Hot Legs, but this is ridiculous!

I’ve never really been a `laptoppy’ person until August last year, when just before I was due to whizz off on holiday , my PC decided to have a hairy fit and start spewing blue screens of death at me and all sorts of other technical unmentionables -arrghh!

So I took the bull by the horns and steamed into my nearest store and grabbed a laptop that I thought looked rather attractive. I know, attractiveness is not a good criteria to choose a laptop but I was pretty desperate and it was just as good as Eeny Meeny Miny Mo!

Now up until a couple of weeks ago, all was well with Lysander the laptop, he was a rather spritely boy and I became rather addicted to him. In fact, he encouraged me to become terribly lazy. Who could be bothered to fire up the old PC and sit perched there as winter was approaching, enduring frozen fingers and toes, when Lysander was beckoning me enticingly; positively luring me to jump on the couch, cover my feet with a quilt and flip his enormously attractive lid?

But, suddenly, inexplicably I thought, the laptop started to cut out. Black screen… nothing! Bizarre. I couldn’t start him up again he just wouldn’t put out.

At first I thought I’d got one of those deadly viruses - blamed Thing 1 and Thing 2 for downloading dodgy games and getting me infected.

Every day, this would happen more and more. Depending on what I was doing on the `puter, it would just shut down with no warning. If I was watching a video I could hear the fan chugging and working like a Trojan. If I was running a few programs at once, woah, the fan was working overtime and that thing was heating up like a pubescent boy at a Miss World beauty contest.

The mouse pad was turning into a ceramic hob and the underneath of the laptop was growing more pyroclastic by the minute giving me more than just a sharp crease in my trousers!

Time to hit Google, type in my model name and number and see what happens.

Phew. How comforting. there were tons of people who were all experiencing the same problem as me. It’s odd, isn’t it, how you always feel better when you find other people that are having the same problems as you - you just don’t feel so alone, somehow!!

View my * My Posts 5 Money Making Opportunities on Facebook

With the release of its new platform, Facebook’s recent endeavor in social media presents a unique opportunity for marketers, developers and businesses to tap into the social network’s young, active, and viral crowd.

However, over the past few weeks there has been a rising concern among developers to uncover ways to monetize their Facebook applications. The curse of instant online success is that you can no longer sustain expensive servers to support hundreds and thousands (or even millions) of Facebook users. The question: how can the developers of Facebook apps actually make money? We don’t have all the answers yet, but here are 5 suggestions:

1. SELL. Develop applications solely for the purpose of selling them to interested parties. Several applications have already been acquired in this fashion; the most recent example is that of Mozes’ purchase of TextMe.

2. DEVELOP. An indirect source of funds: develop applications under contract for third parties. A number of companies have been posting contract jobs over at the Facebook’s developer forums. There exists a large gap in the supply and demand of available Facebook application developers; as a result, finding potential clients to charge reasonable rates should not be a hassle.

3. ADVERTISING. Use advertisements, cross-promotion schemes and affiliate marketing. It is not feasible to use Google Adsense for this since Facebook does not allow JavaScript embedding. Adsense may be embedded through iFrames, which despite being popular among Facebook developers, is against Google’s TOS. Affiliate marketing is a great alternative to advertisements; my own source of income on Facebook is generated through Amazon’s affiliate marketing.

4. MICROPAYMENTS. Sell services within Facebook through micro-payment transactions. PayPal payments made for accessing premium services could potentially yield reasonable income depending on the application’s purpose, size, and prospective users.

5. GET INVESTMENT. If you think you have something big on your hands and lack the funds to scale it, apply for investment through Bay Partners and others who have expressed interest in funding Facebook apps. This would be the likely course of action for a startup with plans to expand globally within and beyond Facebook.

Facebook has a huge active community. It is reported that of the 29 million active users, about half log in each day. This is a rarity among Web 2.0 companies (comparatively, Google Videos has about 3% active users). If FacebookFacebook reviewsFacebook reviews can convince its users to shell out $1 to send those silly virtual “gift” images to each other, then surely a clever developer or startup can find other approaches to earning money from a Facebook application that do not involve just drowning their users in ads.

Due to the pace of innovation over the web, it is imperative that companies jump on opportunities like these as they turn up. LinkedInLinkedIn reviewsLinkedIn reviews and Bebo are expected to release their own set of developer APIs as well; I personally cannot wait to be among the first to tap into that opportunity. I advise others to start planning as well.

James Bond

James Bond, juga dikenal sebagai 007 adalah tokoh fiksi dalam berbagai novel yang ditulis oleh Ian Fleming. Ia adalah agen rahasia untuk Britania Raya dan pertama muncul dalam novel Casino Royale di tahun 1953.

Petualangan James Bond juga telah diangkat ke dalam bentuk film. Sampai saat ini telah dirilis 20 film resmi, dan tokoh Bond dimainkan oleh aktor-aktor ini (diurutkan secara kronologis):

* Sean Connery (6 film dan 1 film tidak resmi, Never Say Never Again)
* George Lazenby (1 film)
* Roger Moore (7 film)
* Timothy Dalton (2 film)
* Pierce Brosnan (4 film)
* Daniel Craig (1 film, dan akan membintangi film Bond berikutnya)

Seri novel dan film James Bond memiliki banyak tokoh pendukung. Para pejabat British Secret Service biasanya dikenal dengan huruf, misalnya M dan Q. Dalam novel , Bond telah memiliki dua sekertaris, Loelia Ponsonby dan Mary Goodnight. Dalam film, keduanya dilebur menjadi sekertaris M, Miss Moneypenny. Kadang Bond ditugaskan untuk menyelidiki suatu kasus dengan temannya, Felix Leiter dari CIA. Dalam film, Leiter muncul secara teratur dalam era Connery, hanya sekali dalam era Moore, dan di kedua film Dalton. Namun ia hanya dimainkan oleh aktor yang sama dua kali. Ia absen dari era Brosnan (walaupun digantikan oleh Jack Wade), dan kembali dalam film Craig pertama Casino Royale pada 2006.

Bond girl biasanya memiliki nama-nama double entendre, misalnya "Pussy Galore" dalam Goldfinger, "Plenty O'Toole" dalam Diamonds Are Forever, dan "Xenia Onatopp" dalam GoldenEye.

Beberapa tokoh yang sering muncul dalam novel dan film adalah Bill Tanner, Rene Mathis, Felix Leiter, Jack Wade, Jaws, Charles Robinson, dan J.W. Pepper.

Faraway Places

Asia Argento writes stories and novels, directs music videos, documentaries, and feature films, and appears in movies, sometimes with her clothes on. In Olivier Assayas’s new international thriller, “Boarding Gate,” she plays Sandra, a very smart prostitute.

In the past, Sandra has done some nasty work for a Paris-based investor (Michael Madsen) who was also her lover—she slept with his clients and listened to their secrets. Now she’s working at an import-export company, receiving drugs sewn into the bottom of plush armchairs, and she wants freedom—an escape to China, which is treated in this movie as the Wild East of capitalism. Slinking into the frame, with her lower lip hanging loose, Argento’s Sandra is both dependent on men and contemptuous of them, both seductive and unsure of herself, a dirty girl who may be looking for love.

Ninety years ago, Theda Bara, the original movie vamp, lured men to their doom, but Bara, even at her most alluring, looked like a sweet young woman dutifully doing a job. Born Theodosia Goodman, in Cincinnati, the daughter of a tailor, Bara was a mild fantasy figure (“the woman who did not care”), irresistible in an age more easily stimulated than our own. Argento, by contrast, was born into a movie family: her mother is the actress Daria Nicolodi and her father is Dario Argento, the horror-movie director and master of luridness.

Now thirty-two, Argento has been onscreen since the age of nine. Her acting technique is rudimentary—she bluffs her way through scenes, drawing on sheer nerve—but I’m willing to grant that technique may sometimes be beside the point. In “Boarding Gate,” she’s lewd and hungry, but she’s not boring—the character keeps changing, and you can see Argento’s mind working behind all the viperish moves.

For Assayas, Argento may be a kind of dream girl. The fifty-three-year-old French writer-director first attracted notice here in 1997, with his exhilarating and poetic thriller “Irma Vep.” Like Truffaut’s “Day for Night,” the movie was devoted to the making of a movie—in this case, an attempt to redo Louis Feuillade’s great silent serial of criminal life in Paris, “Les Vampires.” Assayas threw a wild card into the picture: the director of the movie within the movie (Jean-Pierre LĂ©aud), an aging, mad genius of the New Wave, has the daft idea of remaking the Feuillade film with Maggie Cheung, the star of the Hong Kong cinema. This vampire scoots across Paris rooftops wrapped in gleaming black leather. Assayas, it was a fair bet, had a thing about powerful, kinky women.

In his films, people move fast, thrashing in and out of rooms, and the camera stays with them, catching faces and fragments of bodies as they blur by—it’s life on the whiz, spontaneous, abrupt, and dangerous. The sexual play can be dangerous, too. In the 1998 “Late August, Early September,” Assayas constructed a charming and melancholy roundelay of romantic liaisons and friendships among hard-up young Parisian intellectuals. Most of the scenes are devoted to personal feelings and anxious talk about work and money, but, mixed in with the soulful nattering, one of the women, played by the classically beautiful Virginie Ledoyen, went in for bouts of rough sex. Some of us were beginning to wonder where Assayas was going.

Google Mengkritik Situs Surat Kabar

Google kini menjadi raja lalu-lintas informasi di jaringan situs diseluruh dunia. Semua konten di web yang jumlahnya triliunan halaman atau tak terhingga kini dikuasainya baik berupa teks berita dari koran, foto, video, dll, hampir pasti bisa ditemukan lewat Google. Tak berlebihan menyebut Google sebagai “penguasa media yang secara nyata”.

Beberapa hari lalu Wakil Presiden Google, Marissa Mayer, berbicara di gedung parlemen Amerika Serikat, di hadapan anggota Senat, dengan topik “masa depan jurnalisme”.poin-poin penting yang disampaikan Mayer sebagai nasihat untuk situs-situs milik suratkabar, seperti ditulis Washington Post, Save The Media, dan Paid Content.

Perbarui artikel pada URL yang sama. Konsumen sekarang bisa memperoleh berita-berita terbaik dari berbagai jenis media seperti radio dan televisi. Situs koran sering memposting artikel yang sama berulang-ulang, isinya hampir sama, tetapi dibuat dalam URL atau permalink yang berbeda. Mayer menyebutkan hal ini tidak bagus. Dia menyarankan, tirulah Wikipedia, yang membuat satu topik pada satu URL tetap, dan update terbaru ditambahkan pada URL yang sama.

Link, link, link. Mayer mengatakan, situs koran harus rajin membuat tautan atau link. Hal ini berpengaruh pada mesin pencari Google, dan juga bisa menghemat kolom atau halaman web yang terbatas.

Kebiasaan pembaca. Para pembaca media online umumnya tidak langsung membuka atau mengunjungi situs media; mereka sampai di halaman situs koran adalah dari mesin pencari seperti Google. Seringkali mereka tidak pernah melihat seluruh isi situs tersebut, tapi hanya artikel-artikel yang menarik perhatian mereka.

Kemudahan navigasi. Situs koran harus memperhatikan ini, agar pembaca bisa dengan mudah menemukan artikel-artikel lain. Ingat, situs koran Anda harus berbeda dengan koran Anda dalam versi cetak.

Artikel harus memiliki konteks, harus hidup, dan menarik.

“Semoga situs koran bisa mengambil yang penting dari paparan ini,” kata Marissa Mayer di hadapan para senator.

SHOPZILLA PUBLISHER PROGRAM - FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with a couple of new advertising networks and am really excited by the initial results that I’m seeing.

The first one that I want to introduce readers to is the Shopzilla Publisher Program. You won’t learn a lot about this program from it’s front page as they’re in beta and have been flying under the radar a little while they’ve developed it - but it’s a program that I think has real promise and that makes a good alternative to programs like Chitika’s eMiniMalls and WidgetBucks.

Shopzilla has been around since 1996 as a comparison shopping service. They’re a service that matches shoppers with online stores. Check out their Alexa ranking (around 2000 today) and you’ll see that they do some serious traffic. So Shopzilla has some serious experience and expertise in the online shopping space - so it makes sense that they branch out in the way that they have with their publisher program.

The best way to learn about Shopzilla is to register and to start experimenting with them but let me give you a few details so you know what you’re in for:

  • Shopzilla Publisher Program is a CPC (cost per click) model. You get paid when anyone clicks on one of the ads on your site.
  • It’s ideal for sites focussing upon products.
  • They offer a good range of ad unit sizes - although I’m hoping they expand this further.
  • They offer banner ads, ‘product pods’ (similar to Chitika eMiniMalls), custom text links (where you can link to categories, products or pages in Shopzilla), search boxes (search Shopzilla from your blog) and more.
  • Some of these ad types can be customized to different colors/design. Hopefully they’ll add this feature to all ad types soon.
  • They have a wide array of categories of products to target
  • They offer ad unit IDs to help you track each ad’s performance (think channels on AdSense)
  • They offer an API so that you can customize your ad units even further to your blog
  • They have a minimum payout of $50. Your monthly earnings will accumulate until you hit this level. Payment is via PayPal or check.

This is a beta program so it’s still having features added to it. Keep this in mind as you apply.

Also from my testing so far (and chatting to other publishers who use them) I’ve found that there is variance in payouts from category to category. Obviously these ads will perform best when you choose ads from a category that match your blog’s topic - however do experiment with different related categories to see what works best for you.

I was accepted into the program reasonably quickly (I think it took under 24 hours) however I’ve heard that at this point in their beta test that they don’t accept every application.

Let me show you some of the Shopzilla ad units (note: I’ve left them largely unaltered in terms of colors and design):

This first one is a ‘Top Search Results’ ad where I put the search term of ‘Canon Rebel’ in and used the Camera category. I was given 15 ad unit sizes and styles to choose from:





Here’s a ‘Product Pod’ - again I was given options to change the design and choose a few different ad unit sizes.






One thing you’ll notice with these ads is that the images are clickable. This is something that Chitika launched with but stopped doing (controversially) because it made the ads too clickable! This is one reason why I think Shopzilla might be a good alternative to check out.

Test it for yourself - Register for Shopzilla here.

RELAKSASI DENGAN PIJAT WAJAH

Ketika tubuh mengalami kelelahan setelah seharian disibukan dengan segala rutinitas pekerjaan, seringkali kita membayangkan betapa nikmatnya jika dipijat. Tidak hanya tubuh, tapi wajah juga membutuhkan pemijatan. Tahukah anda, face massage tidak hanya nyaman dan menyenangkan. Sebab dalam jangka panjang membuat diri terlihat lebih muda.
Pemijatan wajah telah dipraktekan selama berabad-abad ini memang dapat membuat tubuh dan pikiran menjadi rileks. Face massage juga membantu peredaran darah lebih lancar, stress hilang dan rona wajah terlihat lebih segar. Kalau tak sempat ke pemijat, bisa dilakukan sendiri dirumah. Yang dibutuhkan hanyalah pelembab dan tentunya tangan yang bersih.
Pertama-tama, bersihkan wajah. Kemudian poleskan pelembab keseluruh wajah serta leher dengan gerakan menyapu kearah atas.
Cubit pelan daerah mulai tulang pipi sampai garis rahang (untuk pagi hari). Lakukan gerakan melingkar dengan garis telinjuk (untuk pemijatan di malam hari). Tekan selama beberapa detik pada daerah yang tegang. Biasanya pada sudut dalam dan luar mata, serta pangkal alis.
Tepukkan tiga jari tangan diseluruh wajah scara berirama. Gerakan dimulai dar dagu, bergerak perlahan-lahan kegaris rahang dan pipi, lalu ke atas sampai bawah mata. Tapi hindari daerah sekitar mata.
Gunakan dua jari untuk memijat daerah dahi, mulai batas alis hingga garis batas rambut.
Sentuhan terakhir adalah dengan menempatkan kedua tagan bersama-sama disamping hidung, lalu usapkan telapak tangan keseluruh wajah beberapa kali.

KAYU JATI PRIMADONA INTERIOR

Black In News. Ukiran jati masih tetap diminati, meski tren furnitur terus berkembang. Furniture berbahan kayu jati dengan pemanis ukir-ukiran masih banyak peminatnya. Walaupun mengisi interior dengan furnitur kayu jati relatif lebih mahal. Toh masih banyak orang-orang rela merogoh koceknya dalam-dalam demi memenuhi selera interior mereka.
Perabot kayu jati memang memunculkan kesan mewah, elegan dan unik. Beberapa macam pilihan pernik-pernik furnitur seperti meja, kursi, lemari hingga meja makan banyak ditawarkan di pasar mebel atau toko-toko furniture etnik.
Banyak orang yang memilih desain furnitur etnik dengan ukiran khas, dengan cara memesan secara khusus. Trend ini ditangkap oleh para pengusaha mebel dengan melayani model eksklusif. Terobosan ini sukses mendongkrak bisnis mebel.
Terdapat beragam jenis kayu yang bisa digunakan membuat perabotan, mulai dari merbau, jati, kamper, bengkirai, dan masih banyak lagi. Untuk memilih perabotan yang berkualitas, harus bisa membedakan kayu yang tua dan muda.
Tak sedikit mebel berbahan kayu daur ulang. Kayu dari bekas rumah jawa kuno, dibongkar dan dimanfaatkan lagi untuk material mebel. Biasanya, jika kayu daur ulang ini kondisinya masih utuh, justru kualitasnya bagus.
Kayu jati yang bagus disebut dengan kayu jati super kualitas nomor 1, 2 dan 3. Umur kayu jati sangat mempengaruhi tampilan furnitur yang dihasilkan. Semakin tua semakin bagus kualitasnya. Kualitas kayu jati ditentukan berdasarkan diameter lingkaran pohonnya.
Untuk melihat kualitas kayu tersebut tersebut, yaitu dari belahan dalam jika dipotong secara horizontal yang kemudian dapat dilihat lingkaran garis-garis yang menunjukan usia dari kayu tersebut. Biasanya jika umur kayu tersebut tergolong tua, akan keluar platinanya. platina adalah semacam minyak yang keluar dari dalam kayu yang berfungsi menjaga lapisan dari kayu tersebut.
Ada juga trik untuk membuat tampilan kayu mewah dan awet yaitu dengan cara melapisinya dengan cairan ambalo. Dengan menggunakan ambalo, perabotan kayu jadi lebih mewah dan berwarna gelap dibandingkan menggunakan lapisan buatan.
Seiring perkembangan waktu, lapisan buatan cenderung dipilih untuk mengkilapkan produk tersebut. Salah satunya dengan menggunakan melamin. Meski relatif lebih mahal, melamin dapat mengkilapkan dan membuat furnitur lebih tahan lama.
Cara merawat funiture bermaterial kayu sangatlah mudah, yaitu dengan rajin membersihkan debu di permukaannya. Walaupun untuk beberapa jenis kayu membutuhkan perawatan khusus. Bila lapisan minyak atau platina sudah pudar, dapat diantisipasi dengan cara menggosok kemudian melapisinya dengan sirlak.

NASIB PENGRAJIN BLANGKON

Black In News. Blangkon merupakan salah satu perlengkapa pakaian adat. Ada berbagai macam jenis yang membedakan dari kerajinan penutup kepala ini sesuai asal daerahnya masing-masing. Diantaranya adalah blangkon gaya kagok, solo, mataraman atau yogyakarta dan sunda. Dari bentuk itulah blangkon dibedakan.
Widrajat asal bugusan adalah salah satu pelestari blangkon. Widrajat sudah lebih dari 30 tahun menekuni profesi sebagai pengrajin blangkon. Dibalik pembawaannya yang sopan keseharian widrajat sangat tekun bekerja.
Dengan berbekal ketelatenan dan kesabaran, ia mampu menopang kebutuhan rumah tangga dari hasil membuat blangkon. Dalam bekerja, bapak 2 anak ini dibantu 2 orang pekerja yang didatangkan dari wonosari gunung kidul.
Bahan dan alat membuat blangkon sangat sederhana. Terdiri dari klebot atau model kepala yang terbuat dari kayu, kain alas, kain yang bermotif, karton, lem, benang jahit dan gunting.
Cara membuatnya sangat sederhana, karena tidak menggunakan peralatan modern untuk proses produksi. Berikut cara membuat blangkon. Kain alas berbentuk lingkaran kepala, bagian pinggir dilapisi kertas karton, kemudian di atas klebot bahan tersebut disusun dan dirangkai serta di rekatkan menggunakan lem yang terbuat dari kanji.
Widrajat mulai mengenal industri blangkon sejak tahun 1978. Mulanya ia bekerja di tempat usaha seorang pengrajin blangkon. Ketika ditanya tentang penghasilan yang didapat dari penjualan blangkon, widrajat enggan menyebut jumlah angkanya. Ia hanya mengatakan "Hanya cukup, lebih sering pas-pasan saja". Namun dengan hanya berpenghasilan minim ia mampu menyekolahkan putra sulungnya sampai tamat SMK. Si bungsu yang masih duduk di bangku SD. Mereka diharapkan agar kelak mampu meneruskan usaha kerajinan blangkonnya.
Krisi keuangan global berimbas pada para pengrajin blangkon. Semua bahan baku menjadi naik. Padahal, pada saat itu juga musim penghujan. Para pengrajin tidak dapat secara leluasa menjemur blangkon-blangkon kreasinya. Akibatnya para pengrajin membatasi hasil produksi. Saat situsi normal, seorang pengrajin dapat menghasilkan sekodi blangkon. Tapi pada saat musim hujan hanya dapat menghasilkan seperempatnya saja. Meski begitu, widrajat tetap menekuni aktifitasnya sebagai pengrajin blangkon.
