Either you’re newbie or seasoned webmaster, getting tonnes of traffic to you website is your utmost priority. You’ll realized the importance of traffic to the website you’re building or managing over the years, to the point that determine your website survival on the net. Getting traffic is one thing, and to determine how much traffic required to be the authority on the area your website focusing into is another thing. With millions of website out there nowadays, climbing to that rank is no longer an easy task. Just forget 1 man show website, it won’t be there. Why?

1 million unique visitors permonth is not sufficient to push website to be on top 1000 websites on earth. At least 4.1 millions unique visitors are required to get there…  yes 4 millions plus my friend according to the study conducted Pingdom.com. That’s a lot lot of visitors you need to have. Giving the fact that more users are now online from all over the world, that number not going to just stay there, it will surely increase over the years.

So the stat is there, you know what it takes to be there. To be the top website on earth, you need 450 millions visitor permonth, and you have to beat Facebook for that corwn. So here is the stats. Hit the source link below to know more, including the charts.

  • To become a top 1,000 website you need at least 4.1 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 500 website you need at least 7.4 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 100 website you need at least 22 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 50 website you need at least 41 million visitors per month.
  • To become a top 10 website you need at least 230 million visitors per month.
  • To become the number 1 website in the world? Then you need more than 540 million visitors per month. (Good luck with that.)

How Your Phone Can Help Punish Traffic Offenders

 How Your Phone Can Help Punish Traffic Offenders
image via

If you think your phone is meant for communication, entertainment or source of information only, you’re not 100% accurate just yet. Do you know that your phone can be used as law enforcement tool as well? Really? Sounds good! Yes, as long as your phone is equipped with camera, you can anytime become one of ‘traffic officer’ to help make our road safer.

This is how it works. Beginning last month, JPJ has openly called public to use their camera/camera phone to snap the photo of traffic offender anywhere in Malaysia. The traffic offender photos then can be sent to email address aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my and any action will be taken accordingly by them.

How will this help motorist to follow the traffic rules? The objective of this program is to create an awareness that, everyone is responsible of patrolling our road, not only police or JPJ officers. By then, motorists will keep this in mind that other motorists around them is watching them as well, or in other word, they can indirectly summon you if you break the rules. Do you think you would dare to cross the red traffic light if a policeman is riding beside you? The same concept applied here, everyone is a ‘policemen’ or ‘JPJ officer’ when they’re on the road.

pst – JPJ’s website is now become more social, you can tweet and share on FB of their web page.

viathe article mistakenly reads email address as website, erm where the heck is the editor?

EntreCard becomes even better with the new credit system

Entrecard has been around for quite sometimes and has gained huge popularity among bloggers. Much has been talked about, especially whether it can sustain the growth it had tasted at the moment. From this Compete’s snapshot on how Entrecard ranks between April 07 and April 08 (I use projectwonderful as comparison only), you can see how it keeps getting better from day to day.

entrecard.com+projectwonderful.com uv 310 EntreCard becomes even better with the new credit system

Let’s forget about the outage Entrecard experiencing over the weekend. It’s not their fault.

Finally the question whether Entrecard is going to be monetized has been answered even though it is not 100% .

Entrecard has opened its door to allow Entrecarders (Entrecard users) to buy Entrecrad Credit (EC) from Entrecard itself (link available on your dashboard). The price breakdown is as below. Ops, no discount even if you buy a lot, and I don’t think you can buy any amount other than specified on buy credit page such as below.

1000 Entrecard Credits – USD$9.50
5000 Entrecard Credits – USD$47.50
10000 Entrecard Credits – USD$95.00

The ECs are not coming from nowhere. Entrecard does not simply create their own ECs and open for sale to Entrecarders. It is ideal, since Entrecard can control the number of ECs available and has the visibility of how many ECs has been generated on the system so far via legitimate ways. At the same time, fraud can be avoided, and make their system audit-friendly if they wish to do so later.

The rate that that they pay for each EC is unknown, and whether it is the same rate when they sell back the EC to the user. But this is very unlikely if they wish to profit from this business model.

OK, before you get too excited of this update, at the moment you still CANNOT sell your own ECs to other Entrecarders. According to Graham on the blog post, this feature might be able in future after this phase has been proven successful and most importantly error free.

What else new? You’ll earn 25 Entrecard Credit every time you publish a post on your blog ONCE every 3 days. This is done automatically from your RSS, so no action is needed from our end.

Apart from that, you can earn another EC by writing for EC blog. Let’s say you have an interesting idea, send this idea to get approved. After approval is received, submit your post for review and you’re done. You get the payment. The better the article, the more they pay!! Cool!!

The topic is however limited to something that can improve blogging and community on the whole.

Lastly, subscribe to Entrecard blog via email to earn 50 EC.

If you’re not yet Entrecard user, I highly recommend that you guys join Entrecard now. While Entrecard has been widely used by well knows bloggers abroad, the usage among my fellow Malaysian bloggers are still relatively low based on my observation of my frequently read blog.
