GrabMyAds - Not Working For Malaysian Publisher?

I think that most of us are miss out about the existence of GrabMyAds, it seems that their service not really works, compare to Nufflets (now GoKita.com). Although their advertising system almost similar to Nuffnang, but it looks like GrabMyAds not do very well for Malaysian publishers.

Meanwhile everybody already make their first money with GoKita.com, I never heard anybody actually gain something from GrabMyAds. There is something wrong with their marketing campaign, and I am believe that without a good marketing plan, the businesses will go sunk.

When I make a query with ‘GrabMyAds’ keyword, the Google only replied with 10,100 listing, which is extremely hard-to-find for an online advertising company. I try to implement their advertisement in one of my blog, and I could justify that their service just nothing than a web analytic. Oh, I feel like being spied by them!

So, there are two conditions that I can conclude now:

1. They Are Not Getting The Advertisers

Just as I said earlier, No Marketing, No Business. If they really wanted a high profile company to use their advertising system, they should make themselves popular first. How? By catering those bloggers with free stuff, a launching event and more, just like Nuffnang and Advertlets did before.

2. Not Persuasive Enough For Bloggers

I seldom see any bloggers embedding their code in the blogs, even from small bloggers. An indication where the bloggers are taking the movement to wait-and-see the performances of GrabMyAds.

This is only based on my perspective, if you agree or don’t agree with me, leave a comment here. We love to share the thoughts.

MyBlogLog : What Is Hot In My Communities?

Another function that you need to take note while having the myblogblog account is ‘ Hot In My Communities‘. Instead of having the daily statistic from the widget itself, you can make a prediction on what-is-the-visitors’-trend, just by looking through the ranking.

This is the snapshot of mybloglog account, where the visitors usually spend almost of their time online. I had subscribed to more than 70 communities, including Liewcf, Adesblog, Khai Scukz and JohnChow, and what we could said here that the communities is looking forward for something that related to Melayu Boleh.

I am attracted to the third rank, in which the title is ‘Pantat Mak Berdarah Hijau Dipalit Hingus Penjilat’, whereas the link will navigated to gamecheathacks.com. A good style of manipulating the sexual term keyword, yet it won’t fool me enough.

Another keyword that populating the top search by the visitors is ‘ Anak Kerbau Cipap Hitam’, this keyword will definitely redirecting you to watch the melayu bogel video.

I am trying to use all the links above to see whether the given result is true or not, what I could say is this ‘Hot In My Communities’ function really delivering the right landing pages. So, how about you? Can you see the power of Mybloglog widget now?

My Campus Had Turned Into An Advertisement Marketplace

Our main telco which is Telekom Malaysia had massively or insanely put their advertisement around the campus. Imagine, my eyes just getting some annoyance because all the buildings had been coated by the XPAX large banners, signboard and billboard. The worse thing is, the place where we suppose to study had become a place where we suppose to aware about their products.

*later will put some pictures

Although MMU is the subsidiary company by the TM, care or less, exploiting the campus as an advertisement marketplace would be unethical. At first, I’m not very keen about the small billboards or signboards of Xpax. But, when they eventually put the big big big bunting on the building, I was somewhat…Haaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

According to the student’s feedbacks, although the bunting are as tall as KLCC, as big as IMAX movie, they are not really aware about that big advertisement. This is because many of us had felt that we are being exploited by the company for profits. After all, people nowadays are more aware about branding experience that personalize advertisement. They love to know what people’s like, recommendation or suggestion than the *brilliant* ideas of putting the big banners. This is what we called as the social networking era!!

Therefore, TM has to figure out what type of advertisement models that suit the student’s behavior. For instance, most of us are spending our time playing games, instant messaging, surfing internet as well as reading other people’s blog. So, do you aware that internet is a great place where you can also exploiting us effectively?

In MMU, there are thousand of students who are blogs from personal until serious topics. They do love to try on what their friend love to try. We get back to the branding experience, in this case where people love to try on what other’s would suggest.

This is the best solution for TM, please hire me to write a good thing about your products as they are more aware about the existence of my blogs than you big banners there. Muahahahaha

I will charging a great price for you guys, how about RM400 for a post??..hahahaha

You Discourage With Your Blogs When No Visitors?

It’s a time when you get bored or don’t have a clear vision on what your blog should stand with. After all, you are updating the blogs for the whole week, but left it alone for the whole month. You keep visiting other’s blog, but you forget to leave a comment to them. You want to exchange the links, but you forgot to put their links first in your blog. Finally, you keep promoting your blogs, but your blog contents are so poor.

The above statements are generally the causes on why most of the bloggers are discourage with their blogs. If you are very serious in blogging, you will find out that the facts that I mention before is about MARKETING. But, in blogosphere, instead of doing the marketing for SEO, another powerful method is viral marketing. Yeah, viral marketing had helped me a lot in popularizing this blog.

Since I already identified the problems, now using some critical thinking skills, let’s find out the solution for these matters.

  • Frequency of updating the blogs
The updating frequency is the most challenging for bloggers. When he/she are seldom updating the entries, they will easily losing their visitors dramatically. When people are visiting the blogs, they are looking for your new entries and not your advertisement. Since then, people will easily forgetting you as they are know that you are inconsistently updating the blogs. Therefore, do keep the same phase in writing a new blog. If you usually write twice a day, keep it up. Not more or less. Well, find out more details on blog posting frequency by adesblog.
  • Commenting on other’s blog

Truly, this is another powerful way of getting the visitors. While wordpress or blogspot is giving an interactivity on tie up the relationship between readers and writers, the commenting section is the best part for readers to leave their opinions. When you are commenting, the possibility for you to get notice by the owner of this blog is higher. Especially, when you are giving the comment in informational yet related manner. So, don’t forget to include your link while commenting.

  • Exchanging Links

Here is the biggest mistakes on blogging, especially for noob. I know that you are enthusiast with exchanging links campaign. You keep visiting other’s blog and ask them to put a link of your in their blogs. Well, no one will care you message. Put their links first! Then politely ask them to put your links. If they don’t reply, simply delete their links. Don’t keep nagging on them, maybe they don’t have any interest at you. One more thing, if you are still at the beginning of the blogging, keep exchanging links with others that have the same phase with you. Don’t ask John Chow to link you!!

  • Content is the king, but how to write a king content?

Whenever you do the blogging, please keep in mind that do write anything that in your expertise. If you are an engineer person, don’t put yourselves to blog in medical term. It don’t works! I had seen some so-called internet marketing people are stating that they can lead/guide you to make more money. Like me, I have the sixth sense on determining whether he/she are reliable to trust with. So, look at the content, how well he/she wrote. Is it really informational? Are the contents plagiarize?

I passed by a blog on selling the affiliates thing without sharing any information with me. Basically, I hate this type of people.Thinking that the money will come without any extra effort absolutely a no-no for me. Instead, in his blog, he is stating about SEO. The truth is, he don’t even know about SEO, even he is not changing the default wordpress url to permalink type. How could he is saying that he is very familiar with SEO? The blog is in Malay language, and maybe he think that he can fool Malay people. Sorry dude! The lesson is, please write in your expertise.

So, if you are practicing the above mistakes, please do change it now! You won’t lose anything by giving an extra effort on blogging. As you are making money later, I’m sure you will definitely saying the same things as mine.
