LiewCF Tech Blog

I feel that Google is very sensitive to the things you do to the website. For example I just changed the title of my blog (URL still same) and my Google rankings dropped like a rock. Don’t know why. They may think I’m a new blog site or they see same content previously indexed under different blog title so are penalising.

I see that you have dropped the top adverts after perhaps listening to one of the earlier comments?

Good to see Liew is actively doing something…

Keep us updated on the effects of your changes Liew.

At the end of the day, Google is all about content. Just give the google tweak a liitle time.

Blogging is not a full time career. You are painfully naive and unrealistically optimistic to think of it when your grammar (while not as atrocious as one blogger’s in TheStar.com.my) is equally cringe-inducing.

Get a life and get a (proper) job. =_=

A little off topic but nevermind..

@Suet: Blogging is not a full time career…etc

At some point, I agree with you but in many other points I don’t really think so. There are many successful bloggers (or any webmasters who are making money from the internet) and they are treating this as a business. And in any kind of business in the world you’ll see ups and downs. Same thing applies here. Even if you get a proper job, that wouldn’t mean that the company would never flop.

In my opinion, anything can become a full time career if you put your heart and soul to it and make it big. Internet business is all about mindset. Diversify and don’t rely too much on search engines, build your name, build email list. Market affiliate programs etc… and don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Be positive and good luck!

Wow. Those were not very kind words Suet. Hurtful.

Liew please disregard her comment. So what if your English is not up the some people’s standard. It’s ok to me and to many people.

What’s more important is the value you bring in blogging about interesting stuff and exposing interesting information on the web to the rest of us thru your wonderful blog.

Continue blogging as a career and make people like Suet eat their words. LiewCF boleh!!

Only 1% of those who blog make it to survive on the revenue that it brings. You are that 1%. The 99% of the people like Suet just can’t make it.

Read that somewhere in StevePavlina.com

Anything that try to manipulate google ranking will get your site in trouble. Have you read my post on webmastermalaysia regarding Digital Point Ad Network (http://www.webmastermalaysia.com/how-increase-traffic/6321-instant-inbound-link.html) one year ago?

LOL I make money writing and I don’t worry about (lack of) traffic to my site be it caused by Google or not.

So no thank you, not gonna eat my words.

Liew, Thanks for being so frank in telling (more like warning) us noobs. I hope your site recovers soon.

liew… actually this happened suddenly…

we are competitor in business. I also ran a tech blog. But actually I would like to say we are brothers in the malaysian context of blogging.

therefore, I have always gauge my blog performance against yours..

you mentioned that google has played down your blog… and based on my observation.. you COULDN’T be too wrong because I noticed that searching for “tech blog” and “tech blog malaysia” doesn’t include you in the first 10 -20 results. That is strange because liewcf.com used to be No.1 for “tech blog malaysia” and top 10 for “tech blog”.

I don’t know why… did you check out with Google ?

Sueth: Forget about the money, just think how much of effort this guys puts to run this site !!. If possible encourage others, but never discourage. No one is perfect. I hope you get what I say

it-sideways: Try make friendship with other bloggers rather than competing with them.

Liew: No loose hope. Keep blogging and wait for sometime. But I think that this problem is due to that big ad you put above the header.

BTW which plugin do you use to create that multipage comments ??

If i change my blog’s theme, will my Page rank or Pages dropped ?

Thilak… i think it doesn’t affect… according to what i read ler… they never mention about themes wor..

Jee, reciprocal links do not hurt, but systematic link exchange and link buying/selling certainly is, and will. Read Matt Cutss post on this.

Thanks for great updates and important articles in your blog and So sorry to hear that, hopefully it’ll get better. Good Luck!.

just wait and see…Your traffic will pick up

Google is not stable and their crawling bot is full of bugs. Remembered theres people out there got their website indexed with 5 billions pages? hehehe.. Anyway my old 1999 website is back on top #2 yesterday and I’m happy for it. Next target revenue is USD5000 per month!

Sorry to hear about this.

Perhaps you should diversify your traffic source. Easier said than done of course but no better time to do it then now.

I notice you have a RSS subscriber base of 1000+ are you monitising that? This is a source that is not affected by search engine.

Your reputation is good. Branch out into other revenue streams.

All the best!

You shouldn’t depend on Google, but your core readers.

Hi CF,

Similar things happening on my sites, I first thaught it was due to the worldcup that people “forgot” to use the internet.

But I also got kicked of from some hard earned page 1 positions, but – must say I was neglecting them…

Since content didn’t change, I guess the linking strategies need to be boosted up!

Good luck with yours!

First thing I would want to say. Optimism is not about “actions” but optimism is within one’s self being. By being optimistic, one will not sadistically go against his/her own will (but I hope one’s will is something that intends positive eh?).

Well no matter, we are in a world with many misguided people who end up being cruel as a way of being misguided. But hey, our wishes are to be happy and positive without anyone left behind right?

My bad, I needed to rant there, but anyhow, no matter Mr. Liew, you’ll be fine if you just go as you will as you believe as you will now eh? I’m certain you’re sincere, maybe a bit on the negative side at times like all of us during panic, but just like I mention. Go as you will as you believe as you will. Excuse me people if I’m off topic, just wanna consider ethics anyhow & inspire the guy. Each of us is misguided differently, but no worries, we just gotta change ourselves somewhat once we see such misguidance.

Yeah, Mr. Liew, I’m certain you’ll be back on track and get back what you need.

“This is a disaster for LiewCF.com and my full-time blogging career.”

Liew, full-time blogger – is not a career. Think again.

My advice.. find a true career. Blogger as a extra income.

More secure..

Not a big deal.

You will get some glitches even in emplyment world.
Be more diversify and enjoy.

Good luck.

good luck bro..
