First site? My own site, of course. I like to see who has been visiting my site. Also I check on the referrers so that I know if there is anything I can do to get more references from the same source. I check the keyword searched as well. This tells me which keyword in my content is bringing in...

I can't say I am using Google+. I do have an account and a few friends in my circles but I see Google+ only in passing on my way to check my mail. Maybe when I really get bored of Facebook, I will look more closely at it.

Yes, I use that, too. Ad Injection puts the ads in places even where there are no boxes for widgets, like in the post itself. You can choose, if I remember rightly, where to put the ad in the post, like at the beginning, middle or the end.

Well, I don't even use Yahoo except for their mail service, so I don't really know how their search engine compares to Google. Not really interested in finding out either. I just want my information and as long as I can get it from Google, I will just go on using Google.

You don't have to pay anyone to get followers. I used a free service called AutoFollowBack. Took me about a week to cross the 500 mark. After that new followers appears out of nowhere. Every day.

Blogging is not exactly the quickest way to make money online. It takes months and months of hard work before you get enough traffic to make some money. The good thing is that it build up over time. So get started on your blog as soon as possible. Kind of like planting a big oak. You have to...

True, many followers are just following hoping for a follow back. When I was building up my Twitter account, I did notice one thing. When I had very few followers, nobody was really interested in following me. Now that I have more than 500 followers, I get new followers without trying. And they...

If you have a desktop, you can try playing with the hard drives. Get some adapters so that you can connect the hard drives to your desktop. Then you can learn how to make raid arrays. Just for learning.

If you feel adventurous, you can try using Wix. They have an online utility for creating websites. There are lots of templates and you can mix and match the elements until you get what you want.

I can see the importance of number 3 and 4. Number 3 is actually an all-time important factor. Content must never be subordinate to SEO. Number 4 is important because more and more people are accessing sites with mobile devices.

It depends on whether I can understand the comment. Obviously, that's a rather biased opinion since I can understand Chinese-English, Thai-English and Malay-English. If it's total gibberish or outright spam, then I will delete it naturally. Probably add it to the spam list, too.

About the domain name, I would suggest that you think in terms of branding yourself rather than think in terms of which niche you want to blog about. An own brand domain name gives you a lot more flexibility. Like myself, I bought the domain name AreesPortal and it's my main domain name.

I think we have to differentiate between free hosting in general and free hosting meant for forums. I am talking about free hosting for forums here. Many forum software like SMF and myBB have sites where the forum software is already installed. You only have to register, give a forum name and...

Depends on whether you are the techie type. If you are, take them apart by all means. If not, give it to someone else who can make better use of it.

I am not looking that far into the future yet. There is every possibility that the world as we know it is going to change drastically in the next few years. One thing that is already on its way into the market is Google Glass. It's a very disturbing development because even if just 1 in 10...

The latest news I heard is that Windows Blue is already in beta testing. You can actually download it to try. I have already downloaded my copy and I will install it asap.

Dofollow and nofollow links? From what I understand, dofollow links are supposed to draw search bots away from our sites because they dofollow the link. So from that standpoint, it doesn't seem beneficial to allow dofollow links. However where links are concerned it's very much a...

Interesting tips. I have just discovered that Twitter actually encourages us to use two accounts - one for business and one for personal. I am going to create a new Twitter business account to try out those tips.

If you are a newbie, a very good place to start is Blogger or Wordpress. They are both free. Myself, I prefer Wordpress because I can progress from the free hosting to my own self-hosted site. So where to start blogging? I would suggest starting a diary. Just write something everyday. No...

I don't do design work. However I like to see how other people do their sites, design-wise. I usually go to the official site of the site software. They usually have some kind of showcase with the best designs using their platform.
