Hari Raya & Money

I don’t have any Raya stories to tell anymore . You can check my earlier post on Kenangan Terindah. If you have written something about Hari Raya, especially during those happy times (when we were kids) do let me know. Anyway, how was your break? My kids enjoyed every bit of it. As usual, they were the center of attraction in the Ariffin’s family. For my Raya pictures, head to my kids’ site. They have also collected a few hundreds Ringgit of duit Raya. Managed to talk to them to hold onto that money and not to spend it all.

When it comes to money, we … as parents, have to start teaching them on the values of money early. What is money all about. You can’t expect them to learn by themselves and you can’t expect them to learn from school either. If we were really taught about money in school, I would be rich by now. All we learned in school was to get a degree and get a job. School was just about scoring in exams and if we couldn’t get good results, we were doomed. Being an output of the same system, it’s sometimes difficult to teach, for example, about delayed gartification when we are still learning as well.

Hari Raya, Traffic & Statistics

The reason for not updating for the whole of last week was also due to some testing on traffic. Traffic to this site decreased by almost 50% during the Hari Raya break. Since 60% of the visitors to azwanhadzree dot com are from Malaysia, it was expected. When there’s a long public holiday, people don’t surf the net or at least people with family don’t surf the net, ha ..ha .. However, organic traffic from Google and Yahoo, were the same. More on traffic in the next post.

Hari Raya & BlogRush

BlogRush was a big letdown. I am getting a lot impression but not much clicks to this site. Maybe the titles weren’t enticing or provocative enough. Maybe if I put something like ‘Sex with me for Free’ then people will come, ha..ha.. or ‘Azwan Caught Naked!’. BlogRush is all about headlines. If you are good at it, traffic will come. It is still in the process of upgrade. Phase 2 is currently being deployed. So, I will only remove it after that if I still don’t find it exciting, but I will not remove it totally, just move it to my other site. BlogRush has also removed over 10,000 blogs that didn’t make its quality guidelines, let see how that will that affect our traffic.

Hari Raya & TNX

TNX, on the other hand, have been providing me with a lot of backlinks. I used the points they gave free. I don’t know how will this girl look at it. Lately, a few people are already losing their PR by trying to manupulate backlinks. I just hope it will just ignore my small site . While the backlinks are good, I find that the srcipt installed are slowing down my site a bit. Let me know if you feel the same. I will be moving TNX out from here as well for a while to confirm whether it’s due to TNX’s script or something else.

See, blogging about Raya is getting less and less .
