Andrew Ooi

That’s what it feels like when I blog without pinging PetalingStreet.org. There is no rush. No anxiousness in finding out how much traffic you will get for that one ping. You learn to be calm and concentrate on smaller gains.

Yesterday I was pleased to see searches on Google.com (not Google.com.my) finally returned my website in the first position. I waited till today to see if it stayed that way and it did!
So here it is, I’m finally no. 1 on Google search for “Andrew Ooi“:

Just as soon as I blog about concentrating more on my chess website, I got an advertiser wanting to take an ad space from my GilaChess.com website.
I have never got an advertiser approaching me directly for an ad placement. All this while it was thru Nuffnang.
I really did not expect that and don’t know […]

I’m going for a few days without pinging PetalingStreet.org to see what’s traffic like.
This is the third day and it looks like my baseline is only about 20 visitors daily without PPS pings.

It shows how dependant my blog is to PPS for traffic. It’s still the best source of free local traffic but it’s […]

I’m already ranking no 13 for one of my targeted keywords “Tanah Rata Cameron Highlands” on Google. And the blog that got ranked is a free Wordpress.com blog. It’s only a few days old.  So it’s true, free blogs have some good SEO juice you can use.

Small steps.. small steps..

Darren Rowse of Problogger once mentioned in his videos that new bloggers should be patient and see successes in small increments (in measurable percentages). Good advice! Still early in my quest to own top placing for “Tanah Rata” and “Cameron Highlands“, I’m beginning to see some results.
Of course, it’s too soon to make […]

I may have won the first round of competition vs the 2superheroes in November last year (3000 to 2789 visits) but the 2superheroes have really gained many regular blog readers since then. Their traffic is pretty solid and it looks like I’m going to have an uphill battle against them this month.

The biggest highlight for this blog last year was the one-month blog competition between AndrewOoi.com and TwoSuperheroes in November. Somehow looking through my old posts I forgot to mention that I won in the end. However, that’s not the reason for this post.
LessonsIt was the competition itself that actually pushed me into overdrive and search […]

Oh where, oh where is my Glitterati status ?
I’ve already removed all other ads to qualify to be an exclusive ‘Glitteratian’ but it’s still not updated yet. I’m still a “non-exclusive” member according to my Nuffnang dashboard.

It’s now 13 days since I received that reassuring email.

I’m the unofficial reporter for chess tournaments in Malaysia. Right now I’m at a major chess tournament between ASEAN youth chess teams. It kills me when I cannot blog about it because of the lack of Internet connection.
I am currently staying at the Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam to provide coverage for the event via the […]

One thing I find surprising is that Wikis can earn money too. Since two of my chess websites has the highest traffic among all my other websites, it’s not surprising that the same two sites are also my top 2 highest Google Adsense earners. I don’t earn much from Adsense but it’s enough […]

After climbing out of the 9-5 job grind a month ago, I’m glad to say I’m still surviving.
Online money is not as much as I’d hoped but with my work done as bulletin boy combined with my online revenues, I’ve just managed to match my former full time salary for last month.
The challenge now […]
