If you are not using any compression method in your WordPress site, you can try to use Zlib compression.

Zlib is compression method for PHP script. I am sure you already know that WordPress theme is an XHTML markup. That means it’s a combination between PHP and HTML. WordPress theme use PHP as decision making for outputting HTML code.

By using Zlib compression, it compresses the PHP that WordPress sends to your visitor’s browser so that it displays much more quickly. Compressing and sending is much faster than sending the PHP in its full size format.

To test the Zib compression, open the header of your WordPress theme and add these code:

<?php
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression’, ‘On’);
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression_level’, ‘1?);
?>

To check how much compression is done, you can use the compression tool at http://www.port80software.com/support/p80tools.asp

Below is one of my site result after applying the Zlib compression. Wow, 75 percent compression. That means the site has become 3 x faster than before. You should try too as loading speed is one of the criteria for better SERP.

As the same web server is being shared by a few clients, your data is actually in a big security risks. Just imagine what can happen if there is a bad hacker that resides within the server too. This is potentially dangerous and should be avoid.

A dedicated server hosting might cost you a bit but the benefits are tremendous. Not only your websites become secure, the efficiency will also improved as the dedicated server is only for you.

If you just happen to buy a dedicated server hosting, these are a few company than can be trusted and reliable.

Exabytes Web Hosting

• Visit the promotion page.
• Exabytes is a high profile web hosting company in Malaysia. Many reputable companies chose them as their host. I am sure nothing can go wrong if you choose to be with Exabytes.

Internet Web Hosting

• Visit the promotion page.
• Internet-webhosting is the web hosting that I am using right now. To be honest, I am just using a RM80 shared web hosting. I still don’t find a reason to use dedicated server as security and speed are not my ultimate concern. For my entire 2 years with them, I only contact them for 2 times. One for hosting renewal (actually they are the one that call my phone) and the other one when I was blocked from entering my site. When I called them, they told me that the server automatically blocked suspicious IP address that accessing Cpanel. Then I clearly know the reason. It was because I am using my lappy to access my Cpanel numerous time from other location. I feel really save with Internet-webhosting as they take security matter as the top priority even though I am just using the cheapest RM80 per year shared hosting. That’s for shared hosting, I believe they security for dedicated server is far more better.

For those that just started with Clickbank, here are some tips to market and sell Clickbank products.

Banner advertisement

If you have a niche blog, you can just slap the banner on blog. Clickbank does not provide any banner. Thus you need to create your own banner or you can find one from the product page.

Create a special site for the Clickbank product

Some affiliates create a special site for the Clickbank product they are promoting. In theory, this method seems to have high conversion. The site with nice articles can rank well in search engine for certain keywords and attract those that might need the product. Potential buyer might mark the site so that they can come again for the second review. Without a special site, potential buyer usually bookmark the real product site. If they make decision to buy after the referrer cookies is expired, then you just lose your commission.

Create your own sales letter

You want to sell a Clickbank product but you see that the sales letter is suck. If you believe you can write a believing sales letter that can turn to more sales, do it. If you like, you do not need to send the potential buyer to the real site at all. You can use a button that directly send them to the Clickbank payment. This method is also good to prevent commission stealing. Believe it or not, they are a lot of jerk out there that do not like to see other people earn commissions from their buying. You need to try your best to handle such jerks.

Articles in planning:

• Sell Clickbank products without a website
• Sell Clickbank products using PPC advertisement
• Sell Clickbank products on Ebay
• Sell Clickbank products with article marketing
• Sell Clickbank products at Facebook

Website such as Digg and Stumble Upon have pure readers. Some of them go to the social bookmark sites because they want to check any worthy posts to be read. That is completely different for Malaysian social bookmarking sites. I see most of the social bookmarking site users are blogger. Most bloggers only know to market their own posts rather than visiting worthy post at the social bookmark site. At last the social bookmarking site will be a place for articles dumping rather than an online library.

I am not saying that bloggers should avoid social bookmarking sites. I am just saying that bloggers should make the social bookmarking sites to be more lively by voting other bloggers and perform a good social community.

Enough with the rambling. Here is the ping and social bookmarking websites in Malaysia. If you find any inactive ping or social bookmarking site, please inform me so I can drop the link. To build your own social bookmarking site, you only need to use Pligg script. Building one is simple but maintaining is the hardest.

What make GB fantastic? I like how GB integrates the Facebook application with their login form. That means you just need to login your FB in order to access your account at GB. So does with the registration. You just need to login your FB account (from their I-Frame) and enter a few details. This method of FB login integration is very awesome. I feel secure because I don’t need to keep my username and password at GB database. You can check the  Geng Blogger review that I had written for further details.

Wikipedia is one of my source of knowledges. For your information, wikipedia is not a benefit project since they provide their service for free and they never put any advertisement in their website.

Wikipedia is completely relying on donation from its precious user. If I am not mistaken, their target is USD6 million  and their current meter of donation is shown at the top bar of Wikipedia.

However, this morning I feel something weird since the donation meter is replaced with a banner saying thanks from Jimmy Wales. I guess that their mission of USD6 million is already complished.

As a part of Wikipedia user, I feel glad about this and hope that Wikipedia will go to another stage.

Ps: Curious, will Wikipedia split the money with their editor who works so hard to guard Wikipedia from million of spams daily.

The best thing I like about Drupal is their administration interface that can be blended with the theme that I am using.

And currently, the latest version of Drupal was released. You can download the 6.17 version at Drupal website.

Internet-Webhosting is currently promote their new hosting package that is called Surfers Plan. The Surfers Plan can be divided into two categories that are Surfers Standard Plan and Surfers Extra Plan.

Although the Surfers Plan Promotion has the same price as the standard Linux hosting, Internet-Webhosting offers more features in the Surfers Plan. Standard Linux hosting provides 5GB disk space, 10GB bandwidth, and 5 add-on domains. While the Surfers Standard Plan Promotion offers 10GB disk space, 50GB bandwidth, and 15 add-on domains. All of that for only RM80. Damn cheap.

Sometimes cheap doesn’t mean good. I always take price into consideration but somehow I trust Internet-Webhosting. There are a lot of forumers talk about how good Internet-Webhosting is.

Ps: This RM80 promo package worth Internet-Webhosting Linux Advance Plan that cost RM150.

Most people already keep in mind that one must have a blog in order to do well in affiliate marketing. With Squidoo, that perspective is not true anymore.

The basic idea of Squidoo is to provide a place where authors (that is called Lenmasters) can get revenue or portion of share based on what people buy from their page (called Lens). In order to drive traffic to your Lens, good content is a must. Squidoo is just like Wikipedia where you can contribute contents. But Squidoo is better since you can have portion of revenue.

The best thing about Squidoo is that they rank well in search engine. Just make sure that you don’t use duplicate content and then you update your Lens often. That’s the basic secret of Squidoo. With Squidoo, you don’t have a hard time to choose product since Squidoo already offers various of products for you to promote. There are Amazon, CafePress, and E-bay to choose.

Although it’s quite a good idea to make profit with Squidoo, you need to keep in mind that you are actually helping somebody spread their wings. Not yours. Any thing can happen without warning. Squidoo can delete your Lens, or more worse banned your account anytime. Just don’t put all eggs in the same basket. Besides Squidoo, you should have other source of incomes too so that you still have backup in case something happen.

That is just a basic idea of how to use Squidoo. There are also some webmasters that use Squidoo to drive traffic to their websites. Some use Squidoo as link building strategy. You just need to join Squidoo first and see how you can use Squidoo to maximum.

Besides Squidoo, Hubpages can be said as a website that offer quite similar modus operandi. Both of them work greats and famous. If you have a hard in choosing between one of them, just use both. But keep in mind not to do cross post or don’t blame me if your account got banned.

If you are interested to become a Lensmaster, these resources should help you,

Why I said GB is a phenomena? A few months ago I check GB Alexa rank. It ranked 200’000 and currently GB rank 50’000. GB members keep increasing.

What make GB fantastic? I like how GB integrates the Facebook application with their login form. That means you just need to login your FB in order to be login at GB. So does to register. You just need to login your FB account (from their I-Frame) and then you just need to enter a few detail to them. This method of FB login integration is very awesome. I feel secure because I don’t need to keep my username and password at GB database.

Previously, there are some Malay social bookmarking sites. However GB shows the most success in terms of members activity and members registration. This is due to their target members. Compare to previous Malay social bookmark, most of them are liked by .com bloggers. But in GB, it famous starts because of blogspot blogger. Although blogspot not so professional, but in reality there are tons of blogspot blogger compare to .com. And most of the blogspot blogger really active. That’s the factor that makes GB a phenomena.

Emm.. did I said GB is a social bookmarking site? Actually GB only support pinging service (although it looks like social bookmarking site). That means you can only ‘ping’ latest entry. I hope they can make it so that members can ‘ping’ older entry too.
