Syam, Syamsularif or vangard refers to same person. I don’t think I have to introduce him, he is quite famous in Malaysian blog-sphere. In case if you’re new, Syam is a student of University PertahananNasional (Defence National Unversity), Malaysia. Zakiyamani call him romeo, I’m not sure why, but I think I can guess, hehe..

He is behaving ‘insanely’ recently when he became the top commentator on all 3 blogs who held threesome contest. I’m reviewing his blog since he is the top commentator on zakiyamani.com. He too became the top commentator in azwahadzree and 2nd top commentator on blogjer.com. He is so determined to achieve this feat until his PC spoilt it!!

Background
I’m not sure why the blog’s title is syamsulariff.com and the URL is vangardx.net, I don’t seem to find the answer there. Opening Syamsulariff.com will redirect to vangardx too. Ok, forget about that.

Registered on 7th Jun 2006, Vangardx has solid Alexa rank which currently stands at 88k (and keeps on getting better from day to day). If he can maintain this speed, Syamsulariff definitely will become celebrity blogger one day (in-line with Kenny Sia).

Themes
On the theme’s design, it looks clean and simple, but it’s not a valid html though. Hehe, don’t be mad Syam, mine is not a valid HTML too after adding too many plugins. The main menus are neatly arranged on top of the header.

He is currently on look out for a new Wordpress themes, so if you want to sponsor or designing new theme for him, this is the time. You know what you could get with high traffic blog like this.

Content
Syam posts very frequently, sometime 4-7 posts per day. I won’t be able to go through all posts, it is dang a lot man!! The RSS feed only offers partial feed, so I have to click on ‘more’ to get to know the details (thumbs down). The contents, are covering the latest world’s issue, what’s HOT including gossips, entertainment, artist, AF, political news, little bit SEO, make money online and not forgetting Military news. Based on the posts, I can say that he is an opportunist and fast too, whenever there is HOT issue, he’ll be among the first to post and the result, his blog will be flooded with visitors, this is one of the example, see how he did it? I’ll only dream to get that amount, hohoho. At one time he even got 200 visitors, amazing!! Thanks to Sufiah!!

Certain posts is quite short, and occasionally the message does not reach the audience. I think this is one area that Syam could improve, quality is important other than quantity. He is blogging in English, although there are grammatical and typo error occasionally. That’s fine, in fact, he is better than those who’d just keep talking about to enhance the English usage like our Education Ministry, but now there’s nothing. For me, as long as the reader understands what he is trying to say, he is successful in his mission.

With traffic flowing like water, I believe he earns a substantial income. He has Nuffnang + Adsense + private ads which could reach over MYR200-300 per-month. But he never reveals his income, so Syam, would you reveal how much you earn? With the traffic that he enjoys, no wonder why Serverfreak is sponsoring the webhosting.

In the end..
If you’re looking for gossips, politic or entertainment news, this blog is perfectly for you. Although there are posts about Wordpress, tech and making money online, the entertainment posts are the ones that is dominating the traffic. This is what we call niche.
