After about a few weeks of selling EC credits on eBay, this is the total I’ve earned so far.
Not too bad. eBay charges about 15 cents per sale and my stupid PayPal “Premium” account charges a percentage. I really want to downgrade my PayPal premium account to personal so I can receive PayPal transaction for free.
I’ve use the money to buy some nice domain names for future websites/blogs.

All my EC credits have been sold via eBay but recently I made my first sale without eBay. Thanks to a suggestion in my comment section, I used the PayPal widget to sell directly by placing the flash-based widget on my sidebar.
PayPal emailed the sale was made and I sent the EC credits to my buyers email. Quick and easy
This is the email I got from PayPal:-
This is the recorded transaction when I logged in to PayPal. Note the 45 cents deducted

Well not really cashout but I simply forgot to put my payment method. Linkworth pays every 10th of the month. I chose PayPal as the payment method as I can withdraw directly via ATM card with a USD1 per withdrawal fee.

After this blog Alexa fell from 170K t0 460K due to Alexa changing it’s algorithm almost a month ago, I noticed there was no changes in any of my Alexa rankings in all my websites.
So finally there is an update today. Happy to see an improvement from 460K to 287K. I also see improvements in most of my other blogs too. This is probably the benefits of being an active Entrecard member. I get hit by return Entrecard droppers and that has definitlely improved my Alexa ranking.

I’ve been away from this blog but I was actively blogging about a chess tournament in Selangor Pewter at Wangsa Maju. This tournament is very old as it is already in it’s 35th year - sponsored by Selangor Pewter.
Here are some pictures from the event:-
Felica - a Chinese player from Indonesia
Ian Udani from Philippines - a strong player winning many local tournaments in Malaysia but didn’t do well in the Selangor Open.
National Woman Master - Khairunissa Wahiduddin whom I played and beat. My most memorable game as she is the only titled player I’ve ever beaten in my life!
The kid holding the camera is Yeoh Li Tian who is Under 10 and I lost to him ( how embarassing !!) but he is a talented young kid. In chess, age is no barrier!
A rare picture of me taken by another Hairulov - a chess blogger. Here I am about to lose to Yeoh Li Tian. Usually I’m the one taking pictures of everyone else
It was a crazy experience, playing chess and blogging about the on-going results for 5 days straight. Then again I won’t be known as GilaChess if I wasn’t that crazy It was very satisfying particularly when there are many chess enthusiasts around the country following the news closely. My chess blog had a spike of over 300 visitors for the days I blogged about the event. The usual traffic is only 100 visits per day.
Of course it was damn tiring too. That’s why it’s been three days after the tournament before I’ve even posted here. Spent that time recovering from it all !

I guess I’m really spoiling the market with my 1 cent Entrecard sales.
USD 5.50 for 3333 EC credits is very cheap don’t you think
Popularity: 13% [?]
Prices seem to be falling lately as the cheapest set of 3000 credits sold for only USD 6.50.
My latest 3333 credits is currently at USD 3.28.

Tried the new “Ayam Golek” dish from my usual ABC Big Town Cafe.
RM 6.50 but I think chicken is a little too small
Other than that it’s ok.

I got a link from a blog friend of mine recommending this new affiliate network. Being new to the affiliate network I was eager to try this program out.
It’s called Clickbooth and it assures of good payouts to publishers (meaning bloggers).
Since I’m new at it, there is nothing I can compare it with but according to my friend who has been in it, it’s performs quite well and looks very promising.
How it works
Clickbooth Publisher Network is unique in that it pays publishers on a CPA or Cost per Action model. This means the advertisers will pay publishers based on whether visitors follow the ad, newsletters signups, email address collected, and even purchasing a product.
High Paying referal program
As Clickbooth affiliates, you can get 2% of the gross earnings of your referrals in addition to USD $10 for every affiliate referred.
Payment
When your income reaches USD 50 or more, Clickbooth will pay you by cheque on the 15th of the following month. As with all affiliate programs, it is good to get in early in order to earn continuous referral income. Of course if the program is successful, getting in early can be very profitable.
Check out Clickbooth Publisher Network.

I just found out that this blog has two PRs.
www.andrewooi.com - PR2
andrewooi.com -PR3
Now I have to decide whether I should change my WordPress options to andrewooi.com instead (without WWW) to take advantage of the higher PR. Should I just forget about the www?

Google sure makes page rank updates at funny times. It’s only April 30th and they have yet another round of updates. I’m not complaining because they have raised this blog Page Rank from 2 to 3.
Despite what is said about the “worthlessness” of PR if it cannot be monetized, I somehow feel energized by this newPR upgrade.
Lately, I’ve blogged a lot on this blog but it’s mostly junk post of my ideas and thoughts. Anyway, it made me regret I have not worked harder on my other blogs to improve their PR. In total Google upgraded PR from 2->3, 0->2, unranked->2, 0->1, unranked->1 in my other blogs. Overall it’s increased PR across the board. No exceptionally high PRs. My highest PR is still PR 4 on GilaChess.com.
Thank you Google !!!
So what about you? Checked your Google Page Rank yet? I used http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php to check mine.

I bought a short URL domain name: u8i.net off eBay for about USD 10. Now I don’t know what to do with it?
I thought of using it as a redirection service like:

I applied for a Woopra account more than a month ago and today I received an email saying that my account has been approved. Woopra is a stats program for your website on steroids! I was excited when I saw previews of it from GeekBrief.tv.
Here’s my first looks after a half an hour playing with it:
To me the most impressive feature has got to be live stats. As soon as a visitor hits your site, you can see details about him or her such as browser, screen resolution, country/city, IP etc. There is also a world map showing where your visitors originate from.
For any particular visitor, you can even see which page they are visiting, time spent and their movement within your web pages.
To me the most impressive feature has to be the chat feature. You can pick any visitor that is currently on your site and choose to chat with him/her. You can even know the visitor by name/username if that visitor has commented on your blog before or registered themselves on your blog.
Just click on the visitor and the type some text to initiate the chat request.
The visitor will see a small blue popup box at the bottom of the browser. Clicking on the blue box will initiate the chat session.
A closer look..
he he.. now do you have the creepy feeling I’m watching you while you are reading this post?
Not only that, a chat box may even pop up asking you to chat with me
Yeah, some people may not like the idea of the webmaster lurking in the background watching your every move …
I installed Woopra here on this blog with the WordPress plugin they provided. It’s only one PHP file. Uploaded it, activated it and entered my given web id number. Then I downloaded their java program to view my stats. You can also view the stats via your WordPress web admin page but the Java program is much cooler with the live stats.
One word. FANTASTIC !! This is definitely better than all the stats program I’ve used. I really don’t know how Woopra servers can handle such massive traffic of live data but so far my experience is pretty smooth. If they can keep up with the increase of membership (which is definitely going to be huge!), then this is a great FREE service. Yeah, the creators say that the service will stay FREE.
You can register yourself at Woopra.com but will have to wait for your blog/website to be approved. I don’t know how long that will be. I only got 2 blogs approved and just requested for more to be included in my account.

If you have seen my past post, you know I’ve gone ga ga over Entrecard. I’ve been spending hours dropping cards and constantly finding faster ways of doing it.
At first I found Opera quite good in this respect as it was speedy, lightweight and can open many windows at one time.
Today I found that the latest Firefox 3 Beta 5 is even better. It’s superfast, very configurable and does not hang with many simultaneous windows open.
I was powerdropping and I realised I opened more than the 50 windows limit I set for myself.
So it was 65 windows open! Usually Opera would just hang and close if it’s more than 50 windows. What’s great about it is there was no noticeable slow down. I definitely can’t do the same with non-beta FireFox 2.
Just to confirm there was no problem opening that many windows, I closed everything and opened another 70 windows (to complete my 300 drops) to see if there was any slowdown or crash. They all opened without any problems and I clicked on the “drop” link on every one of them before closing them.
FireFox 3 Beta 5 is my new favourite browser to powerdrop. In fact I’ll use it more often now since it’s fast and stable. Only weakness is that it does support all my favourite plugins.
So what’s your maximum windows you can open in FireFox without crashing the browser ?
