Traffic Tips

28.1.08

I wrote about Promote your site, and my Top Five Tips SEO before, but none really address how to get traffic in the coming after you followed the advice and suggestions. In this article I hope to give you at the beginning, all of these important hits, giving you a link to it.
Write articles, case studies, etc.

I know write write write that everything that I ever talk about. I do not just say that for fun, although, in fact, is one of the best ways to get "normal" traffic. By the organic movement, I mean, right from the search engine - the kind of people who are genuinely interested in what you have said (and this is why they searched), but not the kind that simply browsing around aimlessly.

Anyway, back to writing. You have to keep it easy to read as interesting as possible, but most of all: relevant. It does not mention the publication of articles about how much George Bush nightmare on the web site that sells umbrellas. Also, a letter about the quality of your shoes at the tech news blog also somewhat silly. Under what you are writing similar to your current niche or topic you a good basis for key personnel who, in turn, raises your Google Position / title.

Of course writing articles, it is all good, but if no one knows what they are, nobody is going to read them. This is where the next step comes in. ..
Add social bookmarking sites

Some people refuse to promote self-government because they see it as bludno themselves. I think this is ridiculous, and no one will know and appreciate its web site as you do so you are the best person to get him there. Once you have written relevant, interesting articles, which you should think of a brief description, to allocate some of the key words and then begin presentation. Some of the greatest / highest ranking social bookmarking websites are:

* Record - good for the long-term movement, but may receive a permanent arsey self-promotion. Choose the best material to add here.
* del.icio.us - rarely get much actual traffic from here, but it could be another quality reference tool.
* StumbleUpon - can be perfectly suited for the long-term movement maniputable and easily with the "ping exchanges" (but I recommend allowing users thumbs-up you personally normal way).

For more to the list of social bookmarking sites.
Join forums post

Although I still heaped praise and mockery over the use of forums to get traffic-do, there are some advantages of this method. While the forums are not necessarily provide greater click-through traffic, well established (old and popular) forums high rank pages, which may filter through to popular topic and, as such, the benefit of the links in your profile / signature. Keep in mind, however, that accession simply plug your site is likely to lead to you being banned. Post a few legible, and the issues involved before you start, and the plug.

One of the best forums to get PR / Movement is Digitial Point forums (if you can release irritating site and selling bookmarks and social manipulation.), I also recommend a Google search on. "Education" forums "such as educational context," worth "more to Google, and will use your search engine position.
Designed to traffic

Over a wide range CSS galleries popping, I recommend the design and try to get your site characteristics. This is actually not as difficult as it looks - because fewer galleries desperately trying to become popular as a larger, all this takes CSS basic skills. Keep the presentation until you get listed, and this will trigger a whole chain reaction, the blog publishing medium for the various transportation facilities. Reducing the quality and simply listing the CSS galleries include: CSSGalerie.com, CSSclip and screenalicio.us
Comment dofollow Blogs

There was even a sudden surge of people to refuse nofollow (related = "nofollow") movement - to find these blogs, and comment on them easy and immediate links to your site. Again, make sure you do not spam, and keep your comments relevant or you can get in the end to the blacklist and similar to Akismet Spam-eaters.

... and this is all it really. Five easy to follow tips to improve their hits, a reference back ratio and the organic movement

Promoting Your Site

One of the questions most frequently obtained is "how do I get visitors to my site?". Nine out of ten times these people not only of the visitors, they mean the people who are going to comment Weblog entries, the daily performance of worship and, in general, the owner of the site.

I am not going to be able to make people love you. If you are unable to write, do not have basic knowledge of English (or whatever your target language is), are not in the least something funny, or have nothing worthwhile or intelligent to say: you will not keep About three of repeat visitors. This sucks, boohoo, find a new hobby.

I will help increase its total visits hope that, in turn, will lead to you earn some faithful visitors. Do you not think that is an easy ride, but it requires effort on your part.
Step 1. Have an Opinion

Having an opinion is not going to bring visitors in itself, but I found that when visitors do arrive, they are more likely to read an interesting point of view rather than looking at generic read / etc. This does not mean simply publishing a page that says "I do not agree with the death penalty. I think that gay marriage sucks. Hate abortion. I like George Bush" - do a little research, write a few paragraphs structured with clear points that you and I do not agree with.

The key is to not be afraid to say what you think. Keep in mind that at some point, at least one person is going to disagree with you and will more than likely expressed as such. You have three options: allow have their opinion, but do not rise to the same (ie ignore them), delete your comment and pretend that never happened, or lastly .. Rant and whine like a baby that somebody does not agree with what you say. While the third probably create drama and, in turn, you get more votes, which also gives it a reputation that no longer want.
Step 2. Present you correctly

Unless your target audience is really idiotic chat-speaking teenagers then t @ LK lyk dis. I would very much like to read and not a website where the owner has made an effort for the development convictions, and I think that most people feel the same way. Each word processing program that I have used always comes with spell-checking functionality (including OpenOffice - which is free). If you know that the spelling is crap: Using a spelling corrector.
Step 3. Get a blog, the blog about everything

A large number of repeat visitors my only for my blog. They love the variety of topics covering almost on a daily basis. You do not have to be a master writer of the article to maintain a blog, just a paragraph or two every day or they will. Not only blog about the same old crap, either. You are more likely to get a wider range of users of search engines if talk of completely random things like picking your nose and crappy TV as The X Factor

The success of the blog is regularly updated. If I have sporadically, take my hits falling. In the days when I updated my website I get in all in half of the hits I usually receive. Develop a schedule that works for you and stick to it - the more frequently you can blog, the better. A word of warning, but if everyone who blogs about his visit to the local mall with friends and see very hot, children and the purchase of new shoes fashion, it must be shot.

Do not forget to allow for comments, which brings me to my next point ..
Step 4. Return all comments

Until you become a popular blogger who everybody loves and visits, will have to return each comment. This shows that people who are interested in them (even if not actually) and also 'announces' their sites to potential nosy sprejetih to read the comments of others. If what you say is witty or insightful, this is even better.

Site promotional tools that forced him to leave comments could also be included in this category, but I do not like so I am not connected to any. At least you know that there are now, eh?
Step 5. Get Reviewed

I know that many people do not like to ask for feedback because they are insecure about their place and worried about what people are going to say, the most simple answer to this question is "hard". There will always be someone out there that does not like you, your site, what you write / etc and an examination or must confirm or give some pretty ass-kissing. Anyway, I have received close to 25% of traffic from my examination of the sites I reviewed in 2004, simply because people want to see what has changed or what I said in response to the review.

If you are truly in the reviews and revision, you can always join YourSite.nu. The problem with this "method" is that you really have to revise the people to get return traffic, but is not guaranteed unless you choose someone who makes a "revision review."
Step 6. Commentary on commentary Plugger Blogs

Nobody likes to hear what direction, but if you do not mind leaving them, then this method is perfect. Finding many blogs as possible when the blog author has installed a plugin to automatically link to his comments on the page. Comments on a post and bang - not just Google count this as an additional link to that, in addition to increasing its overall list in the search engine, but at least one person who clicks on your behalf to see who you are.

A guidance note: leave comments related to the entry in question is a good idea, otherwise the chances are high that it has just been banned by the junk mail and deleted your comments.
Step 7. Giving something away

Visitors are more likely to return and / or link to you if you have something to offer. I am not suggesting that the design and implementation of an entire resource center graphics or publish topics WordPress 40000 - a single issue of quality should be sufficient to attract more visitors. It is even better if you are generous enough to make this item free, and allow people to direct-link to it (depends on what it is, of course).

A single set of emoticons, a couple of photographs of values, an issue WordPress, a simple tutorial on the modification of a popular script - any of these things that will be of interest to other people.
Step 8. Have an Opinion

Sounds familiar? Okay. Here are some quick tips for opinion articles:

* Make it clear, concise and summarize their points.
* Stick to their guns - that the piece like to read your opinion is the only one worth having (like mine).
* Write about something interesting. Cover somewhat controversial.
* In disagreement with the mainstream, and give an interesting argument why.
* Get your facts right. Nobody likes a bullshitter.

Step 9. Validate, Accessibilise, etc.

Most people laugh at me when I suggest validation and accessibility as a tool for increased visits. They assume that I am just being an elitist obsessed standards-git again. They say that 99% of its audience in any case the use of IE. The raison d'être? They are in denial and IE is the only browser people can get to the page.

Even if only one in ten of its visitors using Firefox, Opera or a browser than IE, which is still one in ten that you need to address. If impress visitors that one could link to your website which in turn could lead 5, 50 or even 500 new visitors your way. The same goes for people with disabilities that prevent them from shipping in us; covering the whole world.
Step 10. Link to me

This is not going to increase their votes, but increasing mine. I am not saying this just because I could not think of a Step 10, honest ...

Suharto: Twilight of the God

27.1.08

The modern-day visitor to the thousand-year-old temple complex of Prambanan in central Java may be surprised by sculptures with a familiar face or, rather, a familiar smile. And suddenly comes the revelation: the slightly bemused yet severely serene expression on every face of the antique gods of Java, the heart of what has become Indonesia, was perfected by a 20th century general who would rule the country for more than 30 years, as if he himself were a god with the right to parcel out prosperity and peace, a heaven-sent arbiter of life and death. Even after he was forced to relinquish power, Suharto dwelt among his countrymen as if invulnerable to mortal retribution, as if Indonesia could not act against the man who was once its infallible, singular autocrat. When he died on Sunday, January 27 in Jakarta, at the age of 86, the islands of Indonesia shuddered.

The years since a popular uprising forced him to resign the presidency have not brought Indonesia quiet. The predominantly Muslim country's Islamic extremists, long repressed by Suharto's military, came roaring to life, some finding common cause with al-Qaeda, fomenting attacks not once but twice on Indonesia's paradaisical enclave of Bali — the last refuge of the islands' old Hindu gods.

Stability had been Suharto's gift to his country. He had come to power at the head of a junta of generals in 1965, overthrowing the country's flamboyant and charismatic first president, Sukarno, whose friendship with Beijing and predeliction for Communists in the government had brought the country to the brink of economic collapse and civil war. Ensconced in power, Suharto proceeded to purge the country of Communism and anyone suspected of Communist sympathy. No one knows how many died. One estimate has it at 500,000 — among them many Indonesians of Chinese descent. The Communist Party was outlawed and Indonesian citizens banned from having Chinese names.

The result was a cowed and pacified country ruled by a new President —Suharto — with a practiced beatific smile, anti-Communist credentials which a Cold War–obsessed America would reward, a secular philosophy that tamped down religious extremism, and a military that no one could question. He brought an end to the hyperinflation of Sukarno's reign and eradicated the country's widespread hunger by establishing Indonesian self-sufficiency in rice. Stability attracted billions of dollars in foreign investment. "Suharto built Indonesia and we have him to thank for modern buildings, ports and harbors," says Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, a former mines and energy minister under Suharto. "He has made mistakes, and there were consequences for many, but he used that centralistic form of government to build things as fast as possible."

But the new Indonesia also made it possible for a small group of Suharto family members and cronies to earn billions of dollars from monopolies on everything from cars to cloves. Foundations set set up during the New Order regime, as his reign was known, are alleged by anti-corruption watchdogs to have amassed billions of dollars. The Suharto family's wealth was estimated by TIME in 1999 at $15 billion. Transparency International, a group monitoring government corruption around the world, reported his personal wealth at closer to $35 billion.

Meanwhile, the regime brooked no opposition. Behind the President's smile were very sharp teeth. Student activists would vanish, dissident writers and journalists jailed. Thousands were killed in Aceh, where a separatist rebellion simmered for 29 years; and more than 200,000 are believed to have perished in East Timor after Indonesia invaded the tiny Portuguese enclave in 1975. (East Timor has since established its independence from Indonesia.)

But economic cataclysm struck in 1997 and, in spite of all of Suharto's soldiers and all of his money, Indonesia was inundated by the Asian financial crisis. Currency speculation had led to the collapse of Thailand's currency, which started a chain of events that swamped Indonesia's rupiah. The devaluation sent company profits dramatically downward; Jakarta's stock market crashed. Food prices spiked upwards, leading to rioting in the streets and the death of perhaps hundreds of people clamoring for food in the capital. The country's divisions re-emerged: Muslims vs. non-Muslims; Malay-Indonesians vs. Chinese-Indonesians; secular Muslims vs. orthodox Muslims. The ghosts of the old Indonesia that Suharto thought he had exorcised had returned to haunt the country.

Instability now led the repressed opposition to gain an audience not just with the besieged middle class but among the military and Suharto's own ruling Golkar party as well. He exacerbated the crisis by hubristically reminding the country of his mandate, running for reelection in March 1998 — unopposed, as was his practice. The country would have none of it. Once street demonstrations and riots started, Suharto could not stay in power without causing bloody chaos. He resigned in May 1998.

After the overthrow, Suharto spent most of his time living at home with his family in an upscale neighborhood in central Jakarta even as allegations of ill-gotten wealth percolated through the press. Citing declining health and diminished mental capacity, Suharto managed to stay out of court despite a 1998 legislative decree ordering an investigation in all corruption, collusion and nepotism charges involving Suharto. He was constantly in and out of hospitals after suffering strokes and undergoing kidney dialysis.

When it became clear that he would not survive the latest hospitalization, the new rulers of the archipelago came to pay homage and to pray for his recovery. The Golkar party, which Suharto founded and retains the largest bloc in parliament, called for all pending graft charges —pending for a decade now — be dropped. As the ex-strongman lay dying, the health minister instructed all hospitals to provide their best equipment to Pertamina hospital, where Suharto was being treated. But after three weeks, he died of multiple organ failure. He will be buried next to his wife in the central Java city of Solo. It is not clear what will happen to the civil suit brought against him by Indonesia's attorney general for allegedly siphoning off more than $1.4 billion from one of the many foundations set up during his rule.

An era of democracy has now replaced Suharto's despotic rule. And yet, he leaves behind an edifice as sturdy as that millennium-old temple in Prambanan. The way things are done in Indonesia is the system of patronage he set up and it remains firmly in place to this day.

Suharto Profile

http://yudhisuhendro.blogspot.com/2008/01/suharto-profile.html

by Dongwook Kim

Indonesia’s President Suharto, who steered the vast Southeast Asian archipelago from chaos in the late 1960s to stability and growing economic confidence, has in the past few months faced a rare challenge to his long rule. The turmoil pitted the security forces of Suharto’s tough New Order against a rising tide of disaffected youth and democratic activists, spurred by dissatisfaction over the slow pace of political change and widening economic inequality.

Suharto claims he alone can hold together this fractious island nation whose people have little in common save their Dutch colonial past. Indonesia is indeed diverse: its people speak 300 languages and dialects; its land spans more than 13,000 islands strewn along the Equator, covering a distance of roughly 3,000 miles; its people practice many religions, with Islam the dominant faith. (Ninety percent of the population is Muslim). In his 1989 autobiography Pak Harto, Suharto portrays himself as the only figure who can deliver prosperity and stave off the twin specters of Communist subversion and Islamic extremism. Without him, he claims, Indonesia could run amok again.

Known as the "Javanese King" to some Indonesians, Suharto was returned unopposed as president for a sixth five-year term in March 1993 by the People’s Consultative Assembly, of which a majority are not elected. But his health has become a key issue in recent years. Rumors that he is ill regularly surface, sending financial markets into a frenzy. Suharto said after his nomination in 1993 he did not want to be president for life. In May, he said he would serve out his current term that ends in 1988 but sidestepped a question about whether he would seek re-election.

But resentment against his rule smoldered this year after the government successfully backed moves to oust the leader of the opposition Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), Megawati Sukarnoputri, daughter of Indonesia’s founder Sukarno. Riots erupted in Jakarta in July after police evicted Megawati supporters from the PDI headquarters in the city, but the government has since firmly clamped down on dissent. Although, analysts say the riots were the culmination of public anger against socioeconomic inequality even though political turmoil was the probable source. Opponents argue that Suharto’s success in bringing economic wealth has increased the gap between the rich and poor, contributing to much tension underlying the facade of stability. Suharto’s six children, accused of obtaining wealth through their father’s influence, have been the focal point of anger. Close army associates of Suharto are also among the wealthiest people in the country, and critics say that nepotism and cronyism have characterized his rule.

The Colonial Past

The president was the second son among 11 children whose father was a minor official in the village of Kemusu. His parents divorced and Suharto was scuttled among relatives. In late 1942, he signed up for the Indonesian Army which the Japanese created during their occupation. To the young soldier, who failed in his attempt to be a bank clerk during Dutch colonial rule, Tokyo’s propaganda announcing Japan was coming to free Indonesia from its colonial masters offered a way out.

Japanese occupation was indeed Suharto’s rite of passage. the Japanese trained him as a soldier, awakened his nationalism, and instilled a world view: The Japanese vision of Dai Nippon (Greater Japan) was translated by Suharto and his revolutionary generation into Indonesia Raya (Great Indonesia). Discipline, order, ruthlessness, and progress were the attributes Suharto admired in the Japanese and embraced for himself. But the liberators soon became brutal occupiers. By 1945, Suharto was among the troops who rebelled against their Japanese master, and when the war ended and the Dutch returned to reclaim their colony, he fought with Indonesian guerillas against the Dutch. After independence, Suharto stayed in the army, rising steadily in the ranks.

In 1963, as Indonesia edged toward economic and political disaster under Sukarno, Suharto took over command of the strategic reserve forces based in Jakarta. By this time, the military was riddles with factions as Aukarno’s uneasy coalition of the armed forces, the Communist Party, and Islamic parties began to crumble. Sukarno clung to power by aligning himself with the powerful Communist Party, provoking a tense standoff between the Communists and the army.

Tension exploded into violence on October 1, 1965, when a small group of soldiers arrived at the Jakarta homes of seven senior generals. Three generals were killed immediately, one escaped, and the rest were kidnapped. After the botched coup, Suharto, then a senior general, led a counter-coup and then a military takeover. The chaos of the coup attempt was followed by a six-month anti-Communist terror. According to some accounts of that period, at least 500,000 people died. Many were jailed and Indonesia’s Communist Party (PKI) was outlawed.

Shrewd Maneuvering

Over the last 25 years, Suharto has indeed refined repression to a point where few people need disappear and torture need only be applied selectively. Bodies no longer fill rivers as they did in 1965 and 1966, though for a period between 1983 and 1985, hundreds of bodies were discovered in the countryside, and the President explained that those killed were criminals and "the corpses were left lying around as a form of shock therapy." There are far fewer political prisoners now. Human rights groups estimate there are approximately 300 political prisoners today, mostly from separatist outbursts in Irian Jaya, continuing resistance in East Timor and sporadic revivals of Islamic extremism in Sumatra. Pancasila, Suharto’s state ideology, has been effective in silencing Islam as a political force. Once the Communists were eliminated - often with Muslim groups enlisted by the army to carry out the killings - the New Order determined that Islamic fundamentalism or calls for an Islamic state were a threat. Of late, however, there have been signs that Suharto is seeking to curry favor with Islamic groups.

Suharto has refined repression to a point where few people need disappear and torture need only be applied selectively.

Suharto, the master politician, has always made economic development a holy mission. Under the influence of his advisers, including economist Widjoyo Nitisastro, Suharto subscribes to the belief that economic growth begets distribution of wealth - eventually. The paramount goal is growth. When the price of oil, the mainstay of Indonesia’s export earnings, collapsed in the mid-1980s, Widjoyo had convinced Suharto that the economy had to be revamped. The prescription: mimic Asia’s little dragons, such as South Korea and Taiwan, by stressing manufacturing and export-driven growth.

As a result, the economy has taken off. Foreign investment is soaring. The reforms have spawned a fancier range of pet projects - petrochemical plants, telecommunications contracts, toll roads - to dispense as governmental favors.

Suharto brought a large degree of unity to the multi-ethnic nation through shrewd political maneuvering and suppression of internal threats to stability. He has steered Indonesia on a balanced course of economic development, making it self-sufficient in rice and enforcing programs for birth control and poverty eradication. Economic policy has been entrusted largely to U.S. trained technocrats, who have introduced wide-ranging reforms, including opening up the financial sector and forging an industrial base. Run away inflation of the 1960s has been kept to less than 10 percent a year, and OPEC-member Indonesia has never missed repayments on a foreign debt now approaching $100 billion.

But Suharto’s government has violated human rights against domestic political opponents and in East Timor, a former Portuguese colony annexed by Jakarta in 1976 a year after it invaded the territory. He used the army to tame the country’s turbulent political development and sideline opponents. Islam, the country’s dominant religion, has also been kept in check, and Muslim extremists have been dealt with harshly. By the early 1990s, however, Suharto began to make overtures to the Muslim population, such as a highly publicized pilgrimage to Mecca. Such events as the downfall of the Philippines’ Marcos and the prosecution of South Korea’s former president Chun Doo Hwan are likely to remind Suharto that the public will not tolerate repression, even in the face of economic growth. as 1998 approaches, Suharto faces enormous pressure to address the pace of political reform.

Death List

4.1.08

http://yudhisuhendro.blogspot.com/2008/01/death-list.html
Today, I read weird thing that is deathlist web . I don't know how they predict them to the death. However I found it from the web:
"DeathList is a carefully selected list of 50 celebrities chosen by the DeathList Committee before the start of each calendar year for their likelihood to die during that year. Candidates must have be famous in their own right such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media. Candidates are not eligible if their only claim to fame is their imminent demise and no more than 25 celebrities that appeared on the previous year’s list can be selected. With those rules in mind, DeathList 2008 has been drawn up and is presented below. 2007 was a disappointing year with ten successes so we will be looking to the 2008 list to give a better showing".

And the year 2008 would be death are in the list :
