I have been off line for the past 2 days attending my elder brother’s wedding ceremony in Shah Alam, Selangor Malaysia. It was very fun and happy moments for us since we have new family members and I will get new and the only elder sister (even though she is is younger than me Lol). In Malay tradition, we have 2 different ceremony, the first one would be held on bride’s house, while the second one would be held in bridegroom’s house which would in my parent’s house a week later.

Finish story about wedding ceremony, I’m back to Penang this evening (around 6.AM CST), and immediately check my blog, email and of course my income. I’m actually not planning to write anything today since I’m still quite tired after long hours driving, but suddenly I have an idea what should I write today from those emails and report

Do no depend solely on PPC.
I was quite surprised today when the income for this Saturday & Sunday is half from what i normally earn, even though the number of visitor and page views are almost the same. Usually, weekend would be among the day where i earn the most and i have the heaviest traffic. Normally, less traffic and page views means less income but you know, the internet is something that you can’t predict

Even though income from this source is really unpredictable but it still quite important to me since I have not yet mastering building income from affiliate, having membership program or creating newsletter which I’m still in process of learning. Even blogging is something new to me.

I also have plan to start getting involved in some of pay per post kind of things, but this blog was not approved since it was not fulfilling the terms and conditions stated(another example of not reading terms and conditions which I will talk about it later in this post)

Submit your website to appropriate directory
I have my website ranked first on one web directory removed from the listing recently. Though this is my mistake, since it was submitted to incorrect web directory, but i still feel frustrated why they have approved my submission at the first place. But when my website started to ranked better and even ranked first, only then they take an action using this reason. Though this listing does not really affected the number of traffic (not sure on the long run), but i have lost a numbers of visitors from there.

While I’m upset about this , it will became a tough lesson for me to read the ‘terms and conditions’ before make any submission to any directory out there or clicking ’submit’ or ‘agree’ button on something after this

Terms and Conditions (TOC) or Term of Services (TOS)
How often do your read terms and condition before your proceed registering or accepting something. How often you check back the TOC and TOS for any programs that you have joined? I bet no one read it all except for something that related to monetary such as our PPC program, clickbank or paypal. Taking TOS or TOC for granted is something we should avoided to avoid possibilities of losing potential of income and benefit in future. As what i have mentioned above, i have losing a numbers of traffic due to this silly mistakes which i can avoid if i read it carefully

If you’re an adsense publisher, this is something that you should take it seriously since Google will make changes on it TOS from time to time. Read it more at official adsense blog

Human made mistakes, so do I. Learning from mistakes is harsh, but it does serve well to us in future.
