It was quite a hectic business trip. We never have a chance to take a walk in Jakarta.<br /><br />We met and talked to a lot of people there, who come from different states and different corners of Indonesia. But lastly I came to realize that I've never walk out from the hotel entrance since I touched down from the airport until the last day in Jakarta when rushing back to the airport.<br /><br />Oh man! It was nearly a week.<br /><br />Hah, but I've no complaint and luckily I did buy some special souvenirs in the airport.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-5760621544865038321?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com67tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-45866101475127634232007-04-19T10:56:00.000-07:002007-04-27T06:17:46.395-07:00Two Friends Getting Married On My Birthday Month<a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/johanvskelvin-755645.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/johanvskelvin-755635.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Since I'm sleeping late tonight, let us think of the possibilities WHY they’re getting married so fast.<br /><br />Why I think they are getting married?<br /><br />Mok Jo Han<br /><br />He found his one and the only true love—soul mate? (Woo hoo!)<br />He wants to be a responsible man after getting married? Why would he want to do that for? (Not sure)<br />He realizes that he is not so good looking as he thought he is so he gives up of girls already? (Definitely)<br />Stop disappointing and hurting the men. (You’ll be surprise! Haha)<br />He’s sick and tired with the playful bachelor life and wants to end his crazy life once and for all? (Suspicious)<br />He wants to concentrate more in his business without wasting time on trying to win girls’ heart? (Suspicious)<br />Too much attention from girls that are dying to be in his big and crunchy arms? So he thought by settling down will get rid all of them. (2000% NOT)<br />He got the best woman in the world? (Weee!)<br />He needs someone that can understand him?<br />He loves the woman of his life very much to give up all of the girls in the world? (Hmmm…maybe)<br />He found a brilliant bride that can help him in prospering his businesses? (Wow wee!)<br />He found the best mother-in-law? (Think so)<br /><br /><br />Kelvin Hui<br /><br />Found the girl that fulfilled his 101 requirements as a girl friend? (Woo hoo!)<br />Bored with singlehood life? (Suspicious)<br />Stop disappointing and hurting the men. (Kakaka!)<br />Too busy and simply find one? (Ohhhhh????)<br />He wants to concentrate more in his business without wasting time on other girls? (Suspicious)<br />Sick and tired with those girls that fighting for his love? (Definitely!)<br />Need someone that can be trusted thoroughly? (Suspicious)<br />Too choosy and finally found the best one? (Think so)<br />Needs someone that he can talk to every single night before bed? (Suspicious)<br />He loves the bride too much? (Bingo!)<br />Need someone to help up in his business? (Suspicious)<br />Wants to settle down with a simple and quiet life? (Suspicious)<br />Found someone that he can cook for? (Perhaps)<br />Need a mother that can take care the catsssssssssssss? (Suspicious)<br />The bride that loves him 133.98%? (Whoah?!)<br />He’s SO wants to marry the bride that can light up his life? (Suspicious)<br />Arrange marriage from parents? (Haha, of cause NOT!)<br /><br />Which one you think????????<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-4586610147512763423?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-85009921082344669362007-04-19T10:39:00.000-07:002007-04-19T10:54:32.767-07:00I feel guilty...It's been a llooooooonnnnnggg time since I post. I'm actually feeling guilty of that.<br /><br />Some updates for you:<br /><br />1. Jo Han Mok is getting married in Singapore this year. 99% that Patric and I will be attending. It was surprising news since he's a person who doesn't look like a man who wants to settle down so fast. Hmmm... I guess, when the right person is in front of you, things change for better. :-) Also, I think he have lose weight and look better now.<br /><br />2. Another friend of mine who Patric and I visited several times in Hong Kong last year is getting married too! When Kelvin Hui told us he's getting married, we were surprise as well. Of course we were happy for him because he looks very happy to have a wife. However, seeing Kelvin getting married is not as surprising as Jo Han because Kelvin's look more like a family man compared to Jo Han. :-) He also love cats so I don't know how he's going to take care so many of them when he has a baby. Hah, but I know he'll has his ways.<br /><br />3. I'm now officially helping Patric on his offline speaking engagement business. A lot of work but it's exciting. Last month, we were in Singapore to speak for Stephen Pierce's <a href="http://www.uymg.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.uymg.com/</a>. This month? It was Kuching in Malaysia and 5 days ago was Jakarta in Indonesia. I meet all kind of people with different types of attitude and behavior. Fortunately, most of them are nice people. If you want to hire Patric to speak for your event in the future, you can contact me directly already. (smile)<br /><br />4. New site. I'm setting up a new salesletter page soon to make money online. But I'm very new to writing salesletter, doing email marketing, etc. I realized that the ultimate secret to be successful online is to have a mailing list. Making money from Adsense is good but I don't think it's 'secure' or 'stable' income. Good thing is, I take it as a fun thing to learn. Hehe... call me lucky.<br /><br />5. Do you know that there is a quality score for Adsense as well, not just for Adwords? If your page has certain good qualities set by Google, it will display Adsense ads that will earn you more per click. I heard one of the main 'ingredients' to have high quality score is to add quality links to your pages. Quality pages can be defined as pages related to your niche or with high PR.<br /><br />I'm writing 5 updates at once hoping that it'll cover my guiltiness of not posting for so long.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-8500992108234466936?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1171789064007178042007-02-18T00:07:00.000-08:002007-02-18T01:15:37.693-08:00Happy Chinese New Year<a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/chinese-new-year-738032.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/chinese-new-year-737020.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>"Gong Xi Fa Cai" to you even if you're not a chinese! Today is the first day of the Chinese New year for all the chinese all around the world. Especially new year eve, a reunion dinner is a must, where members of the family, near and far, get together for celebration. The venue will usually be in the home of the most senior member of the family. <br /><br />Like Christmas, the Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in the year for the chinese and it's a good time for the family to get together as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/Chinese-lion-dance-735860.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/Chinese-lion-dance-734631.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/red-packet-733312.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/red-packet-730526.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>"Gong Xi Fa Cai", a greeting to every chinese during Chinese New Year; Lion dance to sweap away the bad energy; "Red packets", traditionally, red packets are passed out during the Chinese New Year's celebrations, from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors, it's common for adults to give red packets to children; Firecrackers come individually or strung on a long string. They are cased in red paper, as red is auspicious. The loud popping noise created by the explosion is thought to scare away evil spirits...Hahaha, chinese have lots of myth ;p .<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-117178906400717804?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1170420603532769982007-02-02T04:34:00.000-08:002007-02-02T04:50:03.543-08:00Choosing a right URL or Website AddressThe first step in doing business online, no matter is a Adsense / YPN publishing business, affiliate marketing and etc. is to choose your URL. The URL is the web address that someone types in when going to a website. The URL you use for your business is very important and must be chosen carefully. <br /><br />The URL you use must have your most important keywords in the URL whenever possible. If you are offering dog training, you should absolutely have the word "dog" and "training" in your URL. Unless your business is already established, you have the ultimate freedom in what your business will be called. Oppss, please do not compare this scenario with my <strong>www.emilykhoo.com</strong>, hahaha, because I'm doing this blog is just for fun. Don't you see that I did not optimize and monetize my blog at all?<br /><br />Okay, back to the point, if your online business already exists, you are more limited as to what URL you choose. <br /><br />You have specific goals to consider when deciding on a domain name (URL):<br />1. Is it easy for your customers to remember?<br />2. Are any of your keywords in it?<br />3. Does it properly reflect your business?<br /><br />Preferbly with your niche keyword in your URL, it's easier for the spiders to index your website in the search engines as well.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-117042060353276998?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com111tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1170142272863504482007-01-29T20:46:00.000-08:002007-02-02T04:16:42.086-08:00No reciprocal links for your Adsense sites?It's been long I never post in my blog, I don't know whether you guys have notice Google latest updates or not, Google just did their major changes few months ago that reciprocal links from non related websites will not benefit you any longer. Besides, your site/s will get penalty if you're doing so...<br /><br />Once a website has been removed, it will no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google's partner sites.<br /><br />Google dislike we participate in link schemes designed to increase the website's ranking or PageRank. In particular, try to avoid link to spammy websites, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links. <br /><br />Actually, you still can have some inbounce and outbounce links from related websites, you'll still get the actual benefits and without getting any penalty.<br /><br />So, do not just joining the link farms to get lots of reciprocal links, it's affect your marketing too.<br /><br />Try it out at your adsense sites today...<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-117014227286350448?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1169962010818979702007-01-27T20:38:00.000-08:002007-01-27T21:32:19.730-08:00Valentine's Day giftHey, busy guys and girls, just a short message to remind you that Valentine's Day is coming. Come on, be romantic! Just get some stuff for your love one, no matter what gender you are or how old are you, love is always in the air, feel it! You take the first move if he or she doesn't want to. Why not?<br /><br />If you've no idea with what to go to, hah, then go to this website, they've hundreds of good stuff for you to go to...I've purchased some stuff there, I've compared the price is cheaper than the usual price in the supermarkets. It took only 4 days to reach me without paying any shipping cost. Infect, it's free shipping all around the world. Cool, right?<br /><br />I even heard about this site from a stranger girl that I've met at Broad Beach, Gold Coast. She told me that she bought lots of cheap perfumes there and also, her husband used to surprise her with surprise gifts delivered to her when he is not around. Sweet! <br /><br />Hehe, I told you this is because I pops up with this idea and plan to send to "My Him" now :D . If you're thinking of joining me to do it, let's go to:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yq42uh">Buy gift for Valentine's Day</a><br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116996201081897970?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1169042799014736172007-01-17T05:25:00.000-08:002007-01-17T06:19:02.346-08:00Am busy playing videossssss...It’s been a llooooonnng time while since I’ve posted in the blog.<br /><br />So here I am again, to share with you what I’ve found to make money online through Google Adsense.<br /><br />You see, I’ve been busy playing with…<br /><br />VIDEO!<br /><br />And other things too, of course...hehehe.<br /><br />If you’re not familiar with video websites, two of the most famous ones are Youtube.com and Google Video.<br /><br />At the same time, a close friend of ours, Peter Drew have created a free service that can help you to make money from Adsense by sharing videos.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily & peter drew-778605.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily & peter drew-777141.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>I was with Peter at his basement office.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/peter drew to Penang-722034.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/peter drew to Penang-720445.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>Peter and family vacation in Penang, Malaysia.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ok, let me explain how the Video Sense works:<br /><br />1). Get as many video files as you can.<br /><br />2). Upload them.<br /><br />3). Share them with as many people as possible and get “paid”!<br /><br />Ok, it’s slight more complex than that but that’s the summary of how the system works. It’s free to join. Go to:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yjnfp5">http://tinyurl.com/yjnfp5</a><br /><br />Even though if you’re not using Peter’s free system (Why not? It’s free!), you should consider using video as a way to make money or generate traffic.<br /><br />But with Peter’s system, you’ll have one of the most powerful features built-in referring incentive!<br /><br />Each time you recommend someone to use the system for free, you’ll get paid for his<br />effort, forever.<br /><br />Just read it at his site:<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yjnfp5">http://tinyurl.com/yjnfp5</a><br /><br />You'll find it interesting!! Ok ok, I'll try to show you how the videos look like in the next few post :) .<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116904279901473617?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1166260563676398062006-12-16T01:15:00.000-08:002007-01-25T02:55:14.990-08:00Exotic India<div><embed src="http://widget-5b.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="site=widget-5b.slide.com&channel=144115188077245787&cy=be&il=1" width="400" height="300" name="flashticker" align="middle"/><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?sk=0&tt=13&cy=be&ad=0&id=144115188077245787&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-5b.slide.com/p1/144115188077245787/be_t013_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?sk=0&tt=13&cy=be&ad=0&id=144115188077245787&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-5b.slide.com/p2/144115188077245787/be_t013_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></embed></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116626056367639806?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1166254702150569982006-12-15T23:36:00.000-08:002007-01-25T03:18:54.786-08:00De Paris<div><embed src="http://widget-44.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="site=widget-44.slide.com&channel=144115188077243972&cy=be&il=1" width="400" height="300" name="flashticker" align="middle"/><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?sk=0&tt=11&cy=be&ad=0&id=144115188077243972&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-44.slide.com/p1/144115188077243972/be_t011_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?sk=0&tt=11&cy=be&ad=0&id=144115188077243972&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-44.slide.com/p2/144115188077243972/be_t011_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></embed></div><br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116625470215056998?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1166104256209401792006-12-14T03:07:00.000-08:002007-01-10T13:50:21.296-08:00Seminar + Vacation in London<div><embed src="http://widget-f6.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=un&il=1&channel=144115188077166838&site=widget-f6.slide.com" width="430" height="300" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:430px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?id=144115188077166838&cy=un&tt=0&at=1&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f6.slide.com/p1/144115188077166838/un_t000_v000_a001_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?id=144115188077166838&cy=un&tt=0&at=1&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f6.slide.com/p2/144115188077166838/un_t000_v000_a001_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />1.

Those are all great ideas . . . but if you aren't trying to increase your conversion, you are just leaving something on the table.<br /><br />In fact, doubling your conversion can be far easier than doubling your traffic! You might not agree with me, but you'll see...<br /><br />Increasing your conversion can be as simple as changing your headline, or trying a new image. An increase of a fraction of 1 percent, that may not seem like a lot but it can mean huge increases in profits. Just by testing, you've just doubled your income! <br /><br />Uh huh~~ so...<br /><br />What I should do in order to increase my conversion rate?<br /><br />If you're just starting out or have a tight budget, you can test and track it yourself by swap in or out an image, changing a new headline, moving something up or down, adding or removing something, or even adding a security icon, using different text, yada yada...<br /><br />It's free! It costs nothing. <br /><br />Test and track it yourself today...<br /><br />Constantly testing new things will help you to increase your conversion.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116316817636920590?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1162981502294824132006-11-07T22:32:00.000-08:002006-11-08T02:25:02.373-08:00Don't forget that WE, too, can help!The last two weeks have been very busy.<br /><br />I just saw a posted comment from "Conray of The Wedding Favor Place" – If you’re reading, thanks for your comment about our "wounded" ozone. <br /><br />We (which means you and me), no matter whether we are entrepreneurs or home-mums or just a consumer have responsibility for our Mother Earth. The thing is, sometimes we FORGOT our own responsibility to take care of Earth.<br /><br />You see, it’s weird that we think of SOMEONE, it could be our spouse, our family member, our neighbors next door or other regions, other states, other countries will take care of this better than we do. So, we can "escape" from taking the responsibility – the responsibility of taking care of what we have, which is Earth itself. The reason why we try to escape is probably the inconvenience that it caused. <br /><br />Just imagine this, we have billionsssss of people on Earth, if everyone have this thought, you can imagine how worst it can be...<br /><br />What I’m trying to stress is that... the more advance and modern we are now, the more self-fish and self centered we are. We are all more emphasized on our own benefits and convenience. I know it’s an ugly truth and you might not like what you read, but I just need to spill out the truth once in a while. Perhaps you've seen someone close to you, it could be our close family, close friends or neighbours are doing something that hurting our Earth.<br /><br />I’ve just finished watching <em>"Desperate Housewife" Season II</em> last night (I know I'm a bit late). Somehow, it’s no longer as funny as it used to be (coz I used to laughed a lot when watching it) but a reflection of reality in life. <br /><br />I think what’s the most interesting part is, people tend to forgot those who had helped them to be where they are today. Ouch, it’s hurt! I hate to be betrayed. Ohh, Emily, you've been silly... Who Love To???! If you watched Desperate Housewife, you’ll understand what I mean when Bree’s son, Andrew is not forgiving his mum or when the Chinese housemaid of Gabriel slept with her husband. Another one was Zach abandoning his father in jail when he needs him the most – after all of the hard work of raising him up. <br /><br />People are so desperate in winning something that they won’t get any reward in return but losing the precious things in life. The funniest part is they don’t even realize it. It’s a good show, worth for watching if you haven’t watched it. I’ve learned something there.<br /><br />I know it’s just a soap, so to speak. But many people are doing the same the things and to Mother Earth as well. “She” has given us the Sun, Water, Air, Trees, Earth and etc. What are we doing to reciprocal what She has done for us?<br /><br />Think about it and share in the Comment below if you want to.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116298150229482413?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1161707538573197382006-10-24T09:10:00.000-07:002006-10-24T09:37:10.506-07:00Yahoo? Google??Friends told me, their adsense incomes decreased drastically. I personally think that links are another major tool for adsense success, but it can be used or misused.<br /><br />To get rank in Yahoo, I think quantity backlinks are important. The more they are, Yahoo will think that your site is important to the users. <br /><br />In contrast, for Google, quality are more important than the quantity. Google will consider where do your backlinks come from, whether is come from a link farm or a blacklisted site which is still begging to be penalized. Also, be remembered, the number of the links and where you link to other sites will also take into account :) .<br /><br />So, Yahoo? Google?? I'll say BOTH!! Haha! Actually it's depend on your personal preferences which search engines to focus to. So that, you won't put too much effort in creating useless links because this will not improve your ranking.<br /><br />I'm heading to Australia, see you guys there....tata!<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116170753857319738?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1161666175753439892006-10-23T21:54:00.000-07:002006-10-24T08:21:35.343-07:00Our MISTER Ozone<a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/2006ozonehole-781103.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/2006ozonehole-750990.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I came to know that our beloved MISTER Ozone, who used to protects us on Earth by blocking ultraviolet rays from the sun is wounded now. Our ozone hole is expanded to the size that bigger than North America at the Southern Hemisphere, entire Antarctic continent, surprise surprise, at the same time........I feel sad.<br /><br />Our ozone now is having a huge hole which about 10.6 million sq miles or 27.4 million sq km. See blue shadow in the picture above, no kidding, it's really bigger than North America! On top of that, what's more important, it's nearly all of the ozone in the layer between 8 and 13 miles above our Earth's surface had been destroyed. Sigh...I feel like suddenly a nuclear bomb going off in my head! <br /><br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6077018.stm">Ozone depletion</a> caused mainly by human-produced compounds that release chlorine and bromine gases into the stratosphere. These high chlorine values covered the entire Antarctic region lately and this ozone depleting caused the Antarctic stratosphere weather is fluctuated. <br /><br />Experts' prediction, during the next 10-15 years, despite measures already taken, the ozone layer will be critically thinned. It is only after this crisis that we can envision its gradual restoration, which will probably last until the middle of the 21st century.<br /><br />However, we still can help to slow down the ozone depletion by our behaviour as a consumer. I think this is extremely important. <br /><br />Choose only goods with the label "ozone friendly," declaring the absence of substances dangerous to the ozone layer<br /><br />Please look for this labels:<br /><br />-Ozone friendly<br /><br />-Freon free<br /><br />-CFC free<br /><br />Sometimes, we're too busy with our own daily lifestyle, our businesses online or offline, routine work but...<br /><br />Don't forget that WE, too, can help!<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116166617575343989?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1160465694418487842006-10-09T23:52:00.000-07:002006-10-10T00:47:58.346-07:00How long will Google keep sites in their sandbox?How long will Google keep new websites in their sandbox?<br /><br />Ahem, the answer is...<strong>No exact time frame</strong> from Google for keeping sites sandboxed :D. The jailing in the Google sandbox for new sites with new domains is on average 4-5 months, although sometimes it can be as short as 2 weeks or as long as 8 months. Who knows? Yes, GOOGLE. <br /><br />Google manually reviews new websites that gain any significant number of links, are sent a certain quantity of visitors, or trigger some other set of parameters are flagged for manual review has skyrocketed. I've tested and discovered before, there are cases when my two new sites with new domains were launched almost in the same day, one of them was indexed within a week or two but the other one was not being so lucky :(, it wasn’t index in that same month at all. <br /><br />So, you see, two of them released from the sandbox in different month. Also it’s something that beyond your control, you can’t fight the sandbox. The only thing you can do is to adapt to it and patiently wait for time to pass and of cause doing other things while waiting :). Usually Google's robots might pick up your site through an inbound link (incoming <a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/2006/09/i-did-not-use-adwords-to-drive-traffic_12.html">backlink</a>) or you may have submitted your site to Google. I can say almost all newly launched websites <em>'successfully'</em> get into the sandbox for certain period of time.<br /><br />Ohh, also, your site is sandboxed doesn’t mean that it’s not indexed by Google at all. Sometimes, your new site could be indexed or able to be at the top the search results.....but maybe at the beginning only...then Google had to take it to the sandbox for temporary jailing, sound familiar :D ! <br /><br />Hmmm...so it’s time for you to check whether your new site is in the SandBox? If your site is in sandbox:<br /><br />1) No pagerank for your site. If the page is in the SandBox, Google doesn't give your webpage any pagerank. <br /><br />2) Go to google.com and key in "link:www.yourwebsite.com" or "site:www.yourwebsite.com" in the Google search box. It doesn't return any results or it doesn't show signs of any other websites linking to yours nor displays pages related to yours.<br /><br />3) Key in “www.yourwebsite.com” in the Google search box, there’s no pages other page are listed even your homepage.<br /><br />Let’s check it out! It's something different from you’ve overtaken by your competitors in the search engine world :D . <br /><br />After checking, you may think of this...<br /><br />How to minimize the risk of our new sites from being sandboxed? <br /><br />Perhaps to some of the experts, they’ve knew it since donkey years ago, but me, just few months ago...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-116046569441848784?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1159904158253537622006-10-03T12:35:00.000-07:002006-10-03T13:28:04.796-07:00What do you enjoy doing lately?Yup, what do you enjoy doing lately? <br /><br />For me, I’m enjoying having a simple life. I try not to switch on my lap top at all during my weekend. These I usually do in my weekend lately.<br /><br />...Read books with Pat in botanical garden with our picnic ‘equipments’, enjoying the big blue skies and big green field, warm sun, birds singing, glittering mini river and spectacular skyline. Wow wee, fantastic lifestyle, I feel like a lady in leisure...haha.<br /><br />...We shopping for books, he's utterly enjoying himself at his favorite books section and I enjoy mine. Beside books, I like shopping for crystals a lot, when I'm picking and looking for it, Pat is playing his PSP or checking his emails via his cell phone while waiting for me. <br /><br />...Catch up every Block Buster movies with Pat and my parents (Gilbert and Betty...hehe), EVERY...you can't believe it. Two couples, the old one and the young one, hand-in-hand walking to the cinema with 2 jumbo size popcorns (this is my dad’s favorite). Sometimes, we do bring along Patric’s granny, she’s 84 years old.<br /><br />...Watching the second series of 'Desperate Housewives' that took us the past 2 months to finish. However, we still can't able to complete it...geeeees.<br /><br />...Spend more time with my Jack, he loves to lay on the cuddles and kisses. He'll cling and nuzzle like a baby boy. He is my Shih Tzu dog, he's coming to 10 years old (his D.O.B., 29th October 1997) but still very strong and active and smart and happy and discipline and adorable and of cause lovable...whooohhhh~ The moment he does something cute, I go all weepy and precious and I suddenly want to give him a miracle injection that he’ll always stay with me. Umm~~ am I selfish?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/matchmaking-756203.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/matchmaking-752233.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />(The one who having a <a href="http://www.kmmod.com/ccrawford/">Cindy Crawford</a>’s mole is my mum, Betty)<br /><br />I’m enjoying my weekend whole heartedly and am present to my love ones...I feel so productive!<br /><br />I think you should too, remember, be present…Life is so precious and short!

But I bet it's definitely not a fun place to be.<br /><br />Sandbox is where all those sites especially new sites are kept until they're evaluate by Google that your site is mature enough to be in the Google's top ranking game for a certain keyword. It just likes a probation period for new sites. So, this is <em>ONE</em> of barriers for a newcomer to penetrate into search engine's world. <br /><br />Although there is no direct confirmation of the existence of a sandbox. Somehow, have you experience before, no matter how well you optimized your new sites, it just don't get high ranking on Google. While on MSN and Yahoo, your sites will get indexed quite fast. <br /><br />Several reasons why Google wants to create this sandbox. It's because of there are a lot of people setting up bulk of backlinks in a short period of time, duplicated content, keywords and bla bla bla. <br /><br />So as you can see, sandbox is something that you've no total control and you cannot avoid it. For instance, you just can't do anything or sue Blogger if they've deleted your blog/s without your permission or acknowledgement because it is FREE OF CHARGE, and you're not paying a penny to them by using their services. But still, always there are ways for you to rescue ;) .<br /><br />How long will Google keep your baby site in the sandbox? Kekeke...<br /><br />By the way, I think I really need an English teacher to teach me better English and grammar! Eeeeeek... !!!! <br /><br />Sigh, just kidding.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115831565242450052?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1158074196411555062006-09-12T08:15:00.000-07:002006-09-12T08:52:46.003-07:00I did not use Adwords to drive trafficI did not use Adwords to drive traffic to my sites.<br /><br />Perhaps I'm a little bit cheapskate, it's kinda costly for Adsense purposes. I can feel the pinch when paying it, ouch!!! Hey I just want to save it for my own pocket money, nothing wrong, right? (Or~~do you have the same pinchy feeling like me as well?) But to some of the things that I like to buy such as softwares (or things that I desired during shopping), it's a exceptional case :) . I use backlinks instead of Adwords.<br /><br />What can I suggest to you is, try to use quality backlink (backlink - link from another site to your website/webpage), to me, quality backlinks are crucial to Adsense and SEO success. <br /><br />Try to use backlinks that's not from a 'link farm' site or a site that's full of outbound links to other sites. It's because that quantity of the outbound link from a page will play a very important role. Always a site that has less outbound links is better than a site that has 100 on the page. Preferably the site that link to yours is related to your site/niche. <br /><br />After that you'll need to see whether the backlink that you have will stay temporary or permenantly on that particular page. Meaning, no matter how many new content are publish, your site's URL will be still be there. <br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115807419641155506?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1157129602278786002006-09-01T09:52:00.000-07:002006-09-01T10:08:37.796-07:00Charlie (Stephen Pierce) and his Asian angels<a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo20-745712.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo20-739291.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>Charlie (Stephen Pierce) and his Asian angels in China, this picture was taken months ago in China. Uumm...actually I'm trying to figured out what place or state is that, I roll my eyes and make some inappropriate guessing. Neither I nor Pat really have no idea which part of China it was. In fact, we just followed the team ;). We traveled from early morning until late at night, like has been traveling thousand milessssss in China. <br /><br />Along the trip, we kept on walking from one end to another end (whoa, China is sooooo huge!), buying a lot of good things that need to bargain at least half of the price (Haha, I did best in this, Alicia-Stephen's wife, always booked me when she wants to buy something) and eating some 'stuff' that we never have before (Stephen always will be the one who help us to check out the cleanliness and healthiness first, haha). He is health conscious. <br /><br />I remember when we went for deep fishing in Singapore, before boarding, Stephen was starving and aiming at a 'ghetto' restaurant there. He acutely aware of the food cleanliness and he ended up chatting and standing beside the cook in the slippery kitchen. The cook was cooking omelettes for Stephen, from taking out the eggs from the fridge to packing them for Stephen. He was watching the whole cooking process to make sure everything is clean. He is so fun and he likes to play his <em>wet</em> sweat towel with me, yewwwww...It's really WET + SWEAT, hahahaha.<br /><br />We utterly have LOTZZZ of fun everytime when we're together. Pat and I are planning to visit them in US soon, yay yay!!!<br /><br />But this big guy, was recently invited by the US Federal Government to have a competition to a private meeting for a 5 year strategic marketing contract worth $350 million. Stephen and his team beat out 14 of the world's largest companies to be highly favored by the Government. And now, <a href="http://www.youchandoit.com/limited/pierceproof.html">Stephen Pierce</a> and his Innovation Marketers team is one of the only 2 companies left fighting out of the 14 giants to secure the $350 million 5 year contract. Whoah, cool man! By the way, he also invited to George Bush's 2007 President's Dinner at the White House next year and to participate in a Board Meeting.<br /><br />Stephen and Pat are releasing a new product tomorrow that you won't hear it from other marketers. So watch out if you want to learn what Stephen has to say about <a href="http://internetmarketing-tactics.com/amx.php?adminid=497&id=11904&pid=11655">"winning" in your niche market</a>. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo11-746287.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo11-738329.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>Here's the picture we took when we were in Sentosa Island in Singapore. <br /><br />Look at our faces, we were fully exhausted and tired after the fun and sunny day. <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>P.S:</strong> <a href="http://internetmarketing-tactics.com/amx.php?adminid=497&id=11904&pid=11655">Here's the link to Stephen and Patric's new product</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115712960227878600?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1156175945154073662006-08-21T08:33:00.000-07:002006-08-24T09:57:08.003-07:00about Adsense’s Video adsI came to know about this news sometimes ago.<br /><br />Basically it tells you about <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060807/nym038.html?.v=60">MTV and Google deal makes video AdSense</a>. Also, it’s another opportunity for adsense publishers to make money through the advertisement instead of the text ads and image ads. Your earnings from video ads will depend on the pricing of the specific video ads you display. For your information, for the first stage MTV will start the service with 200 hand-picked publishers for now only.<br /><br />However, for this adsense’s video ads, you’ll NOT get paid for the first click or playing the video but a click on the display advertiser’s URL/website. Which mean, you’ll only get paid when users click the display URLs at the bottom of the ads or click the video ads while the video is playing. Conclusion, the video ads are initially displayed as an opening image only, you’ll need at least a two-click for the payout. <br /><br />Haha, at least, it won’t consider a fraud click if you’re playing the video ads by clicking the PLAY button on your own site, or accidentally click on your own ads :D . But I personally not really like it.<br /><br />The adsense’s video ads will be shown only when you have these <a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/2006_07_16_archive.html">ads format</a>, Medium Rectangle (300 X 250), Large Rectangle (336 X 280), and Square (250 X 250) on your site. FYI, it's <a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/2006_07_09_archive.html">cpm-based</a>. You’ll need a certain amount of views a month to qualify for this new video program.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115617594515407366?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1155274174377342792006-08-10T22:25:00.000-07:002006-08-11T04:29:26.770-07:00Captain Cook's cottage<a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo1-704237.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/emily-khoo1-702137.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/cook's-backyard-733617.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.emilykhoo.com/uploaded_images/cook's-backyard-731660.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Check this at <a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/video/">emily's video</a><br /><br />Take a rest for a minute and take a sip of your favorite drink...enjoy!<br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115527417437734279?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1154941621738338022006-08-07T02:05:00.000-07:002006-08-11T01:37:00.693-07:00Have you check your site's adsense code regularly?Have you check your site's adsense code regularly? <br /><br />If not, you may see your adsense code (pub-id) has been changed by someone!! If then, all your effort to build your webpages or websites, drive traffic, increase CTR, spent hundred or thousand Dollars to buy courses to build the on & off site optimization...ALL belong to the 'SOMEONE'. <br /><br />I'm not kidding you.<br /><br />Please do not wait until one day you log into your adsense account to see there's no impression on your certain webpage. Gosh, zero impressions and no revenue AT ALL for the page??!!! <br /><br />How am I going to know that?? <br />How do I know the 'someone' had replaced my adsense code to his???<br /><br />Oh..oh..ohh...hang on, hang on...<br /><br />First, go to your webpage that you put your adsense code to, then looking for "Advertise on this site" at somewhere near to your ads. After that just click it. See the webpage's URL is it that belong to you? Or the webpage that you used to register your adsense's account.<br /><br />It’s good for adsense publishers to keep an eye out for trouble as this could be the start of a new trend, "Hackers cracked the Google AdSense Publisher ID". (Although, it's quite a dummy action coz it's too easy to trace that hacker down because of his pub ID)...just like someone broke into your house and put his business card in the house. Though, he/she may has a lot of mailing address that stated in the business card.<br /><br />Anyhow if this happen to you, the easiest way is to report to Google and let Google to ban him. Please write to Google, they'll get back to you more or less 48 hours. Then change back your own adsense code. <br /><br />Anyhow we still need to know why this can be done by him? <br /><br />1) You gave your ftp's login to others access to site before. Then you loose security. Never give anyone your ftp's login details or else, change it after that at your cpanel.<br /><br />2) Perhaps he had transfer some Trojan cookies to your pc. He got your system trojaned or installed a keylogger through IM. That's how he got your ftp account details. So, please run your anti-spyware and anti-virus software regularly as well. This is a must for everyone to protect your details and your pc nowadays.<br /><br />Only these 2 that I can think of right now coz I'm NOT a HACKER...hehe...this is the main reason...and also, I'm not programming literate obviously.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115494162173833802?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28114421.post-1154572500627752502006-08-02T19:29:00.000-07:002006-08-11T01:37:31.140-07:00Flying high in the sky...Do you how wonderful it feels like when you're 'floating' in the air?<br /><br />I did that when I was in Yarra Valley, Australia.<br /><br />Find out at my video's blog:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.emilykhoo.com/video/">Emily khoo's video</a><br /><br />Take a look...<br /><br /><br /><br />--<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28114421-115457250062775250?l=www.emilykhoo.com' alt='' /></div>emily's worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891464985447455282noreply@blogger.com0
