I’m really surprised and shocked since i have been more than 3 years using adsense and never stumbled this kind of problem. I’m still trying to find out if i can re-enable the ads on those pages. But at the same time, i also started to find Adsense alternative like Chitika. It’s kind of sad because those 3 sites is the future site that i wanna optimize on the future. So.. It’s really make me down at the moment. I hope that my appeal will let them re-instate and enable the adsense ads on my site again..

The first you found it, you can get a lot of water. But soon after many people found it, it become saturated. Moreover, the topic sometime have a lifetime, such as a blog about certain game or device. If that game or the device is no longer updated, so are your blog. That’s why even if one of your blog get a hit, get over your head and start finding other niche. As many people say, don’t put your egg on one basket.

Even though i knew this, it still hard for me to find one of my blog is gonna start to die. I can’t do anything about it though. The only thing i could do is start find another profitable niche and dominate it.

It’s been a long way with that blog which is also my main blog. From that main blog, i create many other blog as the complement. And sometime, one of my other blog is even give me more income from my main blog. But that’s that, i should move on. And let’s hope i can survive in this blogosphere :)

As you maybe already know, i monetize my blogs mainly with Adsense and Infolinks since they are reliable.

But about 3 weeks ago, i got an email from a person who asked to place ads on one of my blog. At first, i didn’t give it too much attention as many people withdrew after seeing my offer. But not with this one :) After several emails negotiate about the price, we got a deal and he place his ads for one months on my blog.

The deal is pretty neat and i hope he will extend it :) But regardless, i’m really happy for getting my first direct advertiser :)

I choose to redeem the 100k point on the MegaUpload which is equal to $100 + 1 year premium member. It took more than one year to get me this far and i even still has some doubt whether they will pay or not. But my doubt is erased and if you still has some, i’ll show you the screen shot :D

MegaUpload Payment

The important thing about money redemption is you must a premium member. So, you just simply buy the cheapest premium member with your Paypal and then you done. Maybe Megaupload need this step to check if your Paypal account is exist. Hope this post can help you withdraw/redeem your Megaupload points :)

Currently, i”m  working out on one of my blog that have great future and high payment rate. And it causing me to have less time for my main blog and having difficulties on maintained it.

This is a bad move. No matter how brigh the future of my latest blog, my main blog still give me most of the income. Therefore, i think i must recruit someone to help me handle the blog.

But the problem starts now, i’m still not sure if i must hire someone or not. Hire someone means i got a cut on the income to pay the new employee. And it’s not end there, i also must find someone who can fit that role, and that’s not easy..

Lots of negotiation skill and  managements skills will needed if i keep moving forward. I cannot keep doing all of this by myself after all. Let’s just pray that i make the right step :)

It’s not easy to choose someone as your team.

After about a months without any result, i got a surprise when checking my Amazon account yesterday. Yup, i got my first order! Surprisingly, it’s not only one, but 6 items already shipped, yay! But the commission isn’t that much because it’s only 4% from the shipped price which is less than 100$. Not only that, i also got another 20 ordered items ^^ But all of them is cheap items. However, it can increase my commission rate as i’m using performance rate. Well, let’s hope i can get the payment threshold soon enough :)

PS: The new server is working well too, no downtime again when a new map coming out :D

Such as SEO tweaking, designing, analyzing and of course updating the blog. After 2 years blogging, it’s come to me that the heaviest task is updating the blog. If you still new, maybe you won’t feel it. But after 2 years and it become your routine,  you’ll feel it’s very boring and tiring. Updating theme, doing some coding is probably has the same tiresome effect. But they do have exciting factor that unique whenever you’re doing it.

But updating post is something different. You will get bored eventually. And the worst of it, there’s some time when you’re not in a writing mood and the news just suddenly appear. Oh dear.. I don’t know, but i’m not in the mood for writing. Especially after lately i always got this bad mood whenever in the office. Yeah, some people is just plain suck (or maybe it’s just me) and always make my mood worse just by seeing their face. Sigh.. Gotta to do something about this..

Although it’s pretty scary (you can lose all your traffic if you’re not doing right), i thought that this must be done. And, the result are..

I successfully move into a custom domain without much of losing traffics. The process takes a week, and during the process, i got declining traffic as predicted. But after my new domain got indexed properly, my traffics now is almost the same like before moving. I will tell you some my tips to move your domain if i got more spare time ;)
