Bye 2008, Hello 2009

MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

In this upcoming year I will be officialy working as a Web Marketing for 2 years. Same old duties: checking web ranking and traffic at Search Engine, monitoring Google AdWord and analize Google Analytics and reporting to the bosses. Not much SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) work since the company owner is highlighting the marketing and online advertisement for the website.

In this upcoming year I will be already lived in Bali for 3 years. Island in Indonesia where I never think of staying and working before.

Last year I abandoned my IndoSEO project. This year I'm thinking to work on it again. I want to be an E-Commerce Manager after this. Haven't got the chance yet. Hopefully this year. Surely not in this company. I wish that everything is going better for everyone, well .. maybe just for some people, and thats including me.

Gara-gara Bulan Madu Bali

hari ini aku blank. ngantuk. g bs mikir apapun.
kerjaan cuma ngecek'in web position di google co id untuk keyword bulan madu bali. masalah kenapa co.id ato kata2 bulan madu bali, bukannya bulanmadu bali ato bali bulan madu, semuanya dah kubahas di post sblmnya.

kusearch lewat pc'ku, http://benangruwet.blogspot.com stabil di posisi 6, sementara 2 pesaing nasruldev dan baliidea main gondal-gandul alias naik turun seenak udelnya.

tp hasil pencarian untuk kata kunci yg sama yaitu "bulan madu bali" (kl g pcya, klik aja) di komputer ipoel dan nasrul kok beda. aku ada di halaman kedua (tp tetep aja yg tertinggi dan mereka jauuuh dibawahku. hohoho..)

akhirnya kudpt jawabannya:

http://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adwords/3358375.htm

dah tau kenapa??

Bulan Madu Bali

last nite






ipoel, nasrul, anton n me. we gathered in nasrul's room. talking craps. ipoel just recently wed, so that the issue of bulan madu came. since we live in bali suddenly i had this idea.
"guys.. why dont we make a competition? using keyword BULAN MADU BALI. let's see who gets the highest google.co.id rank for the next 10 days. the winner will be bought a new domain."
"lets do it" (said nasrul n ipoel. 3 of us are skilled in SEO, work in same office). nasrul with his website > nasruldev.net (sell used car and home). ipoel with baliidea.com (bali web design and consultation)

if you wonder why we choose the 3 words > bulan madu bali instead of just bulan madu or bulanmadu? its merely Search Engine Optimization calculations. its hard to compete bali, or just bulan madu on the net. there's a LOT of competitors. If you dont believe me, just enter the words into the google search box on this web blog. Look at the result. And why google.co.id? again it will narrowed the search (local) and difficulties, rather than have it in google.com. hehe..

so, gals. please help me!

how?
1. by clicking bulan madu bali
2. by placing http://benangruwet.blogspot.com/2007/06/bulan-madu-bali.html
in your website/blog (just copy the url and paste it in your blog/article/comment etc)
ps: ipoel.. hadiahnya stick to the plan. domain aja. bukan paket bulan madu bali, ocret?
