Cosa Aranda

Starting from today I will write a series of Blog review. This is about Blog I have visited which is interesting and it has influential contents for me.

Today’s Blog Review is on Cosa Aranda a place for belajar AdSense or AdSense tutorial. I knew this Blog since 4 months ago and I become a regular visitor of this blog. It has rich contents on WordPress and AdSense tutorial. I admitted that I learn many things from this Blog and usually when Cosa (the owner) posting a new technique for wordpress’ optimization then I immediately apply it for My Daily Thoughts, even though this customization is breaking my own commitment but I think it gives me new and valuable experience.

The good value of this site apparently on it’s focused content of WordPress optimization and Earning money online. I noticed that since early of this year the owner become more regularly publishing his article compared to last year’s posting frequency. Obviously this is a good sign for me because I could learn more about AdSense tutorial from it and advancing my knowledge on those topics.

When I was visiting this Blog for the first time, it has a similar template as My Daily Thoughts i.e. Bosco 1.0 + Widgets or to be exact I like that template and I use it for my blog as well. But later the owner change the template to his own design and make it unique. Currently it has three columns on the main page and two columns for the rest of the pages. This new and sleek design make a faster loading time and indeed it increases my appreciation of this site. The site navigation is easy enough, however after the owner changed it’s permalink structure several links especially on this important post are broken. I hope he fix those broken link soon.

My Daily Thought On Early Warning For Agloco Member

30 March 2007

Agloco

It seems that Agloco network is bubbling at the moment, but all members including me are waiting for “The Day of Viewbar Download” since it’s not ready yet. Meanwhile I put my referral link of Agloco and hoping that it is effective to gather more people joining this network. Lets keep hoping on it. However each day since I join Agloco, a curious feeling about how Agloco could be in the next few months is growing. Is it really work as they promised… or my expectations is wrong because I don’t really understand how it will work.

My questions about Agloco network is answered today when I read Trader’s Narrative Posting of Agloco. This is what I really need to understand about agloco and it gives me hint that my previous impression on agloco is wrong.

What I expect from agloco is simple as surfing the Internet using agloco viewbar for max 5 hours a month and I will receive money for that. But that is simply wrong according to Trader’s Narrative Posting of Agloco and even from Agloco it self after I re-read Adloco How It’s Work. The diagram from Trader’s Narrative makes me understand about how agloco will works.

Spam Protection For My Daily Thoughts

23 March 2007

I must admit that I have accidentally deleted one legitimate comment because I’m so annoyed with spam, …sorry about that guys. Since increasing spam attack in the last two day I have deleted 20 - 60 spams every 4 hours and to make it easy, I just skimming the caught spam and press delete all. Unfortunately on my last action one legitimate comment was deleted, I realized about it just after pressing delete button.

As I explain on this post, My Daily Thoughts was protected by two anti spam plugin. The first is Math Comment Spam Protection which ask you simple mathematic question before you can post comment. But since this anti spam failed to block all nasty spam, I added Akismet to improve protection.

For several Days this anti spam worked very nice and effectively blocked all spam, until today when I find a spam comment appeared. I think the weakest protection was on trackback comment, and I have to improve it immediately. Finally I make decision to use Simple Trackback Validation Plugin for my protection. Hopefully those three layer of protection could improves My Daily Thoughts robustness against the spam.

Increasing Traffic For Your Blog

20 March 2007

The ultimate target for Blog publisher like me is receiving a huge traffic stream of visitor. No matter where it comes either from search engine or from social network, but it should come anyway. Because only with visitor your Blog can achieve all target intended before. If nobody reading your Blog instead of you then it will be useless to open it for public. Perhaps you can just make it private. But if you intended to share your experience… then increasing traffic is a must to do.

However for a new Bloger, increasing traffics is the first big challenge to overcome before success in Blogsphere. I know many people write about Increasing Traffic on their Blog including Steve Paulina. I cited several points from his article about Building a High Traffic Website (or Blog):
