Confession Of An Addict & How To Monetize (I’m Askin’)

Look. I’m an addict. Nah I’m not doing something that’s breaking the law.

I’m actually addicted to my blogs’ statistics. (you too? hehe)
I’m not so much of an analyst myself but I spent a couple of times a day looking at the stats. (again… you too? haha)

Tell me is this crazy? Are you crazy? AM I CRAZY?

One thing I can tell for sure is that I noticed my blog traffic (this one) has been on an increase since the start of January this year. All thanks to the comin’ CNY festive season as most of the searches were for CNY cookies and I believe getting back my pagerank (yes finally!) has something to do with it too. Funny there has been no increase on the Adsense part.

So I’m thinking how does one monetize a blog that caters for Malaysian readers? Nah I don’t think the readers are interested in Amazon stuff. So what can we do about it? I would like to hear your suggestions.

I’m thinking… there’s nothing we can do about it. Haha Just enjoy the traffics!

I have no idea! But I think the most who click on your ads are from USA. So it’s actually better to write stuffs that are more for US readers.

Foongpc, yup still I’m wondering how does one monetize for Malaysian audience. Like there’s nothing for it. Kekeke

Tekkaus, Nuffnang? haha I don’t think so. The click is pathetic. Adsense and Chitika is more to US.

The best way I think to monetize your blog for Malaysian audience is to make some Chinese New Year cookies and sell online! haha :)

Have no idea at all! But I guess writing more US related stuffs is a good way to achieve more click. Malaysian readers? None! Unless we each struck a deal of I click on yours and you click on mine every single day. What do you think?

Perhaps can think about becoming a partner for an online boutique? I like the dragon cookies, ribbon cookies… ah… all the cookies you bake. Can I have some? :)

Irenelim, like your boutique? hehe

This year I didn’t bake dragon, ribbon…those that you see on the right sidebar. Instead I try cookies that I’ve not make before… like kuih bangkit. :)
