Life is transient.

The tragic death of Steve Irwin is another reminder of how fragile our lives are, in this day and age of hustle and bustle. Death is another denominator that’s all part of the equation. To Steve, may you rest in peace. The world has really lost a guy who’s big on life, and so full of zest.

Here’s to the man. We need more people like him.

Screwy but…

Looks like my blog is a little screwy these couple of days. Stuff has disappeared and certain entries have gone awry. Nonetheless, content is still here albeit a feeling of suspicion going on.

Looks like i’ve dropped to page 3 for the Ambatch SEO competition. The rankings have been changing quite fast and it’s either my proxy to google is way different, or im just looking at historical results. Time for some fun! :D
On another note, red bean bags are good for lounging in. :)

Not For Noobs!

We’ve finally launched the new Microsoft Habu in Leipzig, Germany.. and boy has the response been astounding!

Much less to say, it’s been an extremely exciting time for many of us in Razer, and i’m glad that so many sites had much good things to say about it. There’s going to be another surprise soon…but that we will have to annouce much later.

Till then, game on! For more information about the latest tie up, check out the site at http://www.notfornoobs.com

HCM is over…

The HCM seminar organized by Internet Marketing Singapore.com is finally over. Lots of good information which left the many new comers to the realm with more than just rabid information overload.

Information overload is a problem though, and the question that always comes back to anyone who’s starting out in internet marketing is… “Where do i start?” It’s all too easy to get your heart beating faster with the dreams of passive income as well as notifications of purchases that has been made to your account, and the lure of being one of the top internet marketers……………….is sometimes, all too irresistible.

Keep it simple, boil back down to basics. Get a piece of pen and paper, start drawing out the mindmaps to determine what and which step to take to get moving forward. Focus and keep hammering away. Don’t deviate, complete tasks, test results and ask how the next move can improve or reduce the work done.
Continous action, persistance, planning and a love to provide a great form of value for people is truely the secret to getting it all moving along.

Ambatchdotcom Seocontest updates…

There’s some interesting updates over at the rankings for the ambatchdotcom seocontest. A 16 *gasp* year old, Esteban Panzera, has finally taken over the top rankings for the keyword and is currently holding it tightly with a strong backlink force comprising of thousands of backlinks in multiple domains.

He seems to have a very strong knowledge of how SEO works via buying over existing domains with thousands of indexed pages, and it’s still darn interesting to find that a young guy like him can manage to figure out how to get to the top of the rankings that quickly. Interesting how this game is truely going.

Did some SEO experiments by myself over the past 2 days, and it’s quite amazing how by changing simply the URLs, or rather the filenames in a high PR domain (PR6 site), can make the jump from 3rd PAGE to 3rd position, within 2 days, for an extremely competitive keyword. (Which doesn’t even reflect the pages at all in the SERPs, but shows the main index.

New Keyword optimisation.

Just for the heck of it, i’ll optimize my blog for the keyword “Internet Marketing Singapore”. Not too sure how this will turn out over the next few months…but it’s all for fun. :)

Some good posers that Andrew popped in the comments of my earlier post. I’ll answer based on my own personal experiences and hopefully that’ll clear some of the doubts.
1. What should their first steps be?

Well, in order to succeed in any endeavour or business…there must be a few elements which i feel are most essential.

  • Committment - Committed to make money by a certain time, and how much? Getting the numbers down and into a plan would set the wheels into motion. Day-dreaming and wishing doesn’t get one anywhere.
  • Investment - Invest some money to attend seminars and a home study guide to understand the overall gist of Internet Marketing and fast forward the process to getting started. Avoid guesswork and wasting time by looking at what others are doing. Learn, understand and then apply. Rinse and repeat!
  • Focus and continous action - Focus on the important things and get them done. Nothing more, nothing less. If you need to create a website in 5 days to meet your dateline, then do it at all costs. If not possible through your own means, find out how to leverage on others’ strengths.

2. What would be good materials to consider getting?

Corey Rudl’s Insider Secrets To Marketing your business on the internet.

The upcoming “Internet Marketing Bible” by Stuart Tan (Book Title not confirmed haha)

Internet Marketing Manifesto by Rich Schefren.
3. Lastly, are you single and available?

Fortunately, no. :-)

Digressing a little… how many views do you think normal web pages get compared to forums?
