Removing Nuffnang.

I didn’t mind the low payment, the Non-Glitterati status nor did I care if I am getting paid or not from them. Not that I never get paid but the total earning I had from Nuffnang is only Rm668.82. Where on other hand I am gotten $327.76 from Adsense for posting kok-tale on this blog haha. Best part is I am still earning between $2-5 a month from adsense while Nuffnang is stuck at Rm31.99 for the past 1 year plus. I was busy with stuff and kind of left this blog alone for some time, so I don’t expect any higher then that for a inactive blog. Then again I also didn’t expect Nuffnang to give me a new comment box all a sudden like this shit:

 

NuffnangX Conversations? like I really activated something from Nuffnang site which can hijack my blog and create a javascript to load on open to see a new comment box on a post now?

I don’t like that, plus it really should follow the theme color. Not too sure only Nuffnang users can see that comment box or just me but like fuck I care for Nuffnang, they can eat my Rm31.99  since I can’t windraw it also till reaching rm50 lol.

Adsense Sudden payment drop?

For most of you guys who are using adsense I am very sure you be experiencing the same thing as I am and everyone else too who is using it. The total payment estimated has dropped half for some people, or like me a missing 10 USD which is about MYR30 plus here.

Just look at the help forum:

Majority of the same question are poping up and every few minutes too. Kind of annoying as there are no news about what is going on even on their blog!!

Here is one of the question with a reasonable reply but not from the officials:

Jep M:
“Yesterday i checked my Total estimated earnings (Since Last Payment) and it showed approx. 350$+ but today when i opened my adsense account it only showed $157.90.  What happened? I hope this is just a temporary bug because that's a big loss on my part.
PS. I checked the Payment History, and there's no new "Payment Issued" and at the bottom it says August earnings will be finalized by September 10th.
This is the first time that i have encountered this problem, Please help me resolve this, thanks.”

gddsmith:
"The Since Last Payment in overview has been bouncing all over the place the last couple of days so ignore it for the time being. I already flagged the issue as a bug.”

 

I hope it is really a bug with some notification from Adsense them self and not us user figuring out our self what might be the problem.

 

Wikipedia Adsense:
AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google).^[2] In Q1 2010, Google earned US$2.04 billion ($8.16 billion annualized), or 30% of total revenue, through AdSense.^[3]

2009 the past.. now 2010

Well should have blogged about this I think like 5 days ago. Just wanted to write about my 2009 and my new year resolution.. Then again you know we Sabahan when there is something to party about we DRINK DRINK AND DRINK. This applies to majority Sabahan and not minor ok, then again I guess every where in the world is the same.

How was my 2009?

Started off a bit slow during the early year and well some how I changed my job line into sales. Where by early April I am officially doing Sales, in the Real Estate line hoping to earn a living by this too. Finally could see some changes in my life would not say stable then again what kind of job would give you a stable life? lol

There were times when it was hard but Griselda supported a lot and yes I don’t think I can live with out having her around now days. We still can have fun together during those times then again there are good times too.

As for my blog I guess most of you might have forgotten that I started using those advertisement paying blog thing. Previously mentioned when I officially started using Blogspot, I did make some money out of it last year. About RM600.00 plus and yes it was spend on alcohol only.. haha Made more from Adsense then Nuffnang. Not much but would just consider it as additional pocket money he he he

So guys would just like to wish you all a Happy New year and well Christmas has pass by so don’t need that.

 

This is Tiger Wood year.. lol

Monday morning and I see this on Adsense

:D

A message from Adsense

“You are scheduled to be sent a payment by the 30th of this month. If you're receiving a standard delivery check, please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery, depending on your location. If you're using EFT or secured express delivery, your payment should arrive by the 5th of next month…..”

 

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Blogger Life VS Real Life

How many of you people ever thought of becoming a full time blogger? Everybody? some some? For me I have thought about this and always wondered about it too. So what are the first few things I should look for?
For me it is more to the payout. What are the first few things to highlight or that is common?

How much can I make?
How fast is the payment?
How convenient is it to take the money?
Will I be taxed?

Blogger Life
So lets be frank here; “How much do I really make from those advertisement serving program that pays you?”
Like me I have registered a few blogs & website, where I can generate about USD$0.30 – USD$1.12 roughly per day from AdSense. Where from Nuffnang I too make the same amount maybe slightly more. Initially at the end of the month I don’t think it be enough to even pay my TMNUT’S bill. But all this would increase depending on how much traffic does your blog or website receive and it increase as more people visit your blog or site.

Real Life
So in reality where I would mean “How much can I earn going out of my house and work under a chinaman boss?”
I have more then 5 years experience in the I.T field, I can easily Identify what is wrong with any I.T related problem and able to overcome it. Not all as there is still area which does not cover my knowledge as in Programming. Then again I always give the best to my employer where I be easily exploited and earning a static amount of payout at the end of the month. While the employer earns 3 or 4 times from what I earn maybe even enough to buy a brand new Ninja King.

How much would a Chinaman boss pay if he finds someone like me? I can say the roughly estimate pay I get while working for a company is MYR60.00 - MYR85.00 per day. I do know the figure but don't want to tell the world how much do I really earn right, so I divided it into 30 days.

But back to the main point, I can afford to pay my bill's loan and a bit of entertainment (Drinking alcohol). Where the insecure financial feeling is being reduce to a minimum state and usually would make anyone happy.

So lets compare between the two Job

Blogger Life

Real Life

Just write articles on your interest	Work with the company policy and job description
Allow people to criticize you and talk back.	Allow client to criticize you and your boss, but can’t talk back. Also have to say “you are right” to the client.
Can wake up late on Monday	Must wake up on Monday morning and get stuck at the traffic jam on the way to work.
Does not have a Boss?	Get to see your Boss face Everyday.
Have a chance to earn a lot.	The salary is usually static every year.
Might get some payment problem. Nobody can help.	Can meet the boss directly for slow salary payout..
You had a accident and have no socso or insurance	The employer must pay socso and there is insurance covered provided by the company depending on your agreement letter.
Get arrested by ISA for accidently posting something the Government don’t like. Nobody can help.	The boss always be there to settle anything if you get arrested all a sudden while on the job.
The site may close down and you are too old & fat to find a real life job.	You have good contact establish while being employed and maybe even being head hunted.
Do not have a retirement saving.	As you reach 55 and ready to retire you might have half a million in KWSP

This comparisons is from myself and my thinking. Anybody out there is free to use it or edit it for their own.

So what about tax?

How many of us here have actually paid for tax? I have not registered myself, I don’t think I would want to to register for it as it is a repeating process till you die. Even if you do not have a income you got to submit your income tax form. Silly may it be but yes the government do not want to miss out their chance to tax the moment you make a come back :)

But for the tax thing, I am not fully aware myself if any of the Malaysian Blogger or Non Malaysian blogger are being taxed. As most would not want to write how much are they being taxed or nor do they want to be find out they are eligible to be taxed. I cannot talk much about tax because I am not eligible to be taxed yet, as the requirement in Malaysia to be tax are those earning MYR2,800.00 and above. But I think they rise it up to RM3,000.00 some time ago.

Between Nuffnang & AdSense

Does any Malaysian know which one pays you more? For me at the moment I am earning more from AdSense then I do from Nuffnang. Maybe it is because of the currency exchange is 1 thing, but how much do I make per day from between this 2?

I would say I am making a lot more from AdSense. There is about an average of 900-1,300 people visiting my blog everyday. So yes I can see the difference, I did not fully use AdSense because it was not local so yes that is an issue. But then they are paying more just after installing the ads back for like 3 days and I am already getting more then I earn from NuffNang in a week.

Then again I could not say much as I am still nobody in the internet :)

Anyway for those who are interested in signing up for this two company here are the links:

How much am I making? erm.. Not much :)
