Johnny Cash is back!I have been absent for almost half a year. Lots of things has changed over the past half year.Some changes that I have been noticed:John Chow got penalized by Google. First, his blog is no longer ranked in the top 100 when you search for "John Chow" on the web.Many sites got penalized in the recent Google page rank. For example, John Chow's site now has a page rank of 4, just like this blog. He had page rank 6 by last June.Kumiko sold her site for over $10K.Matt Jones in Successful Online Money Making creates two blogs and sold them.My blog is not in shape. I will update the template over the next couple days. First of all, I will change the "Liked Minded Blog" section since several links are out of date.

| Blogging is another Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) |
| 2007-06-06 00:11:53 |
When I first started blogging about 5 months ago, I thought blogging is like writing a diary. But after five months of blogging, I found out blogging is more similar to my other passion in life -- Massive MultiPlayer Online Role Playing Game. (MMORPG)Here is the reasons why:1. You build yourself up SLOWLY by performing many repetitive tasksWhether you are playing World of Warcraft, EverQuest, or Ultima Online, you spend lots of time performing repetitive tasks to build up your strength, money and experience points. In blogging, you spend lots of times performing repetitive tasks like commenting, submitting sites to directory, answering emails, and writing posts to build up your blog...

I think Maki Dosh is probably the first blogger who mention about the possibility of using Alexa's redirect URL to increase Alexa's ranking in 20 Quick Ways to increase your Alexa rank. Later, Matt Jones of Succesful Online Money Making expanded the idea and comed up with his Ultimate Alexa Redirect Experiment. In one part of Matt's experiment, he replaces his myBlogLog's community URL with the Alexa's redirect URL. This idea has been widely copied. Many myBlogLog's members, including myself, has replaced its community URL with Alexa's redirect URL.Ever since then, many variations of the trick have been developed. One blog suggests bloggers to use Alexa's redirect URL for comments. This could increase your Alexa's ranki...

| Result of My Evil Experiment |
| 2007-04-27 22:53:18 |
Last time, I come up with a evil scheme to direct Komiku's reader to my blog. The result is not impressive. I got about 10 new vistors who is searching for "Technorati top". They all click the Technorati favorite's button. I guess they thought I make it to the top 5,000 in Technorati. I try to be the next John Chow, but end up becoming Dr. Evil -- the guy who has all the evil ideas but not able to finish it. I learn this trick from King Gary's blog. On last Wedensday when Sanjaya got voted out, Gary was the first blogger in the entire blogosphere who blog about it. For a brief moment, Gary's post is on top of Google Blog Search for "American Idol Sanjaya". This brought his blog flood of traffic and also got dugged. Gary is working at b5media. The com...

I have summarized my experience into six tips:1. Pick a personality for your blogOne of the mistake I made is that I didn't use a believable pen name and a real photo. Blogging is about sharing your personal viewpoint, and a popular blog has to associate with a person. You also need to develop a personality for your blog. All successful bloggers has its unique personal style.Having said that, you don't need to use your real name. You only need a name that is "real" enough for your readers.
