28 Aug 09 Self-study on Linux

I actually learn linux all by myself too. all u need is time and self-study. If you are new to linux.. it’s best you use virtual machine or extra computer that can install stand alone.

there are many virtual machine that can install linux, my favorite one will be virtual box.. So, u can install on your windows computer, and virtual box will run as a mini-computing system. If u r very new to linux.. there are many ways you can get to know them.. First learning in Distrowatch.com and what are the core ingridients in each distribution.. I like Fedora 10 or 11 the best to learn new things, because they have apache, httpd, ftp, database, many scripting, also security and networking setup, I quite like it…

Let’s say, u want dual-boot with computer, not using virtual machine, try ubuntu 9.04, ubuntu is the best linux to install.. they have two version, desktop and server version, u can choose whatever version u want to master it.

Generally learning for Linux, for starter.. you can read through this website to get to know bit by bit.

Free trainings are starting from Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Level. Moreover, you will be able to learn some useful tips and tricks of Linux operating system and its functions. Once you complete the course, it is time to choose a particular distribution and start mastering the Linux one by one. My person choices will be Fedora 11 or Ubuntu 9.04 as of today.. These versions will change time after time as they will release more or less every 6 months to 12 months as a new version.

Thanks for reading.

17 Feb 09 Viral Traffic Generation Methods

Previously, I have posted about viral marketing for online advertising. Now, I want to share a little bit further more about viral marketing and why should we use it in order to drive massive traffic to our websites.

So, cut to the chase, WHY do we use viral marketing techniques?

1. quick to drive traffic (once it’s starting to spread, there’s basically no limit, the message will pick up the speed faster and to the bigger audience)
2. cost effective (once again, no limit, easy to start and cheap to expect the traffic, make sure your site has some to offer for your visitors to become regular)
3. niche gathering (you will eventually find where your niche is headed and your target audience in no time as long as you offer unique content that are original, photographer offers photoblog whereas geek-blog offers all technology news)

Bottom Line, traffic means money, relevant niche means more money, cost effective mean more money. So, what else shall I say?

So, this comes the question, WHAT are the techniques?

1. I am going to repeat this again, provide quality content, products or services. (provide something which is unique for your visitors)
2. Give something away (I would recommend gmail service to my friends because they basically gave away free service for e-mail, don’t they? you gotta offer something so that will create buzz).
3. Recommendation or referral on your site. (something like share this post, email to a friend, etc etc, that will create more buzz because I would really recommend to my friend if a particular website offer something nice)
4. Have some video clips, or free e-book to give away or have a personal blog about your interest on the site (that will also give some kind of expose to your visitors and yes it does really attract traffic)
5. Social bookmarking icons and links (They are basically helping you to bookmark or submit to the sites, either way, they are good for traffic, easy for search engine to index, my personal favorites regarding SEO are reddit, technorati and digg)
6. Use RSS feed or any sort of Feed (Some of my audience like RSS feed because they are firefox fans, some of them love email feed as well, so feedburner or similar service sites can offer, I use feedburner of course, you can set up either RSS feed or email subscription)
7. Do what others do not generally offer (It’s very simple but sometimes it is easily overlooked in many cases, for example, I enabled “do-follow” plugin in my wordpress, which default is “no-follow” for commenters, so I would get more visitors who will want to have do-follow link on my site and will write more comments as well.
8. Run on-site competitions (Many internet gurus are still using this method, and that’s how they get massive traffic and regular visitors)
9. Build a community and relationship with your visitors (Communication is the key to success, if you interact with your visitors, you will build the better relationship between you and your visitors that is very good for long term)

Ok, There are main 9 methods I have tested and experimented in the past and they have created impressive traffic for me.

So, start right now because what I have suggested will cost next to nothing. You can basically start with no-investment methods such as adding referal scripts, RSS setup, email subscriptions and some fabulous content first.

Thanks for reading. Now, I will go back to build my viral marketing for another site
