Err… I hate HostMonster Web Hosting. JayceOoi.com was offline for 2 hours today during lunch time. HostMonster support team was doing something to fix the issue. And don’t want to let me know the issue that they were fixing. But why sign up HostMonster Web Hosting then? Well… I have been using HostMonster Web Hosting for 2 years. I did face several downtimes. But there downtimes were less than 10 hours in 2 years (there might be some downtime that I am not aware).

Business Development Manager at Kontera, Aaron Seligman contacted me. And offered the ability to create some higher tier revenue deals and believe Kontera can surpass my current Infolinks earnings. Wow… This is good. A better revenue is always good right? I logged into Kontera. Nothing had changed. I still cannot see my historical earning which more than 6 months. But they added additional revenue column which uses to display promotional bonuses, affiliate revenue, and adjustments outside of normal earnings. Anyway…

Infolinks May 11 to 17, 2010 earnings

I love competition. We publishers will get better revenue from it. Can Kontera offer ~ 30 day trial at 70% revenue share beats Infolinks earning? I did not try it yet. Does anyone try it?

With the announcement of Bank Negara Malaysia decided to raise the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by 25 basis points to 2.50% at the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on Thursday, 13 May 2010. Malaysia Banking Base Lending Rate (BLR) is going for another hike too.

Last updated: 15/05/2010

No all the banks in Malaysia updated their BLR rate yet. Will update it again when all banks provide the latest BLR rate.

LiewCF is one of my targets in blogging world when I started to blog 3 years ago. He and I are almost the same ~ from IT world. Same age as 30 years old. But he became fulltime blogger 5 years ago while I am still surviving in MNC. And blog earning is way too low compare to him.

LiewCF.com vs. JayceOoi.com

Hehe… At least JayceOoi.com’s page views is better than LiewCF.com ~ 300K vs. 220K. But unique visitors still shy 40K. This means JayceOoi.com has lower bounce rate than LiewCF.com too. It is hard to retain visitors from search engine. They usually come to the first page and left without browsing for the 2nd page unless your site is interesting to them.

By the way, the data above is coming from DoubleClick Ad Planner. You can check LiewCF.com stats here and JayceOoi.com stats here. You can check yours too. The data are estimated until you share your blog’s Google Analytics data.

Lastly, I always wonder how much does LiewCF earn per month. Does anyone of you see the actual earning amount from him? I cannot find it at his blog. (Maybe I did not search hard enough)
