This the normal site almost everywhere in the US now. Are we prepared? Is this an opportunity or is this a threat? Share your thoughts here. Before the world is going down totally we need to learn from this crisis.
As the current crisis continues to wreck havoc across the world, global investment bank Lehman Brothers Holding Inc and financial advisory company Merill Lynch & Co Inc have become the latest victims in the US. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers will become the largest bankruptcy in the corporate history of the US. USA’s largest insurance company, AIG, also stands on the brink of collapse. The market remains in a state of shock, being unable to realize and cope with all consequences of the recent event.
Recently AIG General Insurance’s CEO Brad M Bennett said that 100% of its asset were invested in Malaysia. “Our capital and margin of solvency are well in excess of what is required by Bank Negara Malaysia to meet our obligations to policyholders”. Maybe at least AIG Malaysia will survive in the current economic tsunami but we need to see this scenario and remember even those who looked untouchable have toppled - Bear Stearns, Lehman, Merill’s.
On the local front in Malaysia, however, several funds have recently been launched to capitalize on the expected financial recovery, with many of them investing in global financial institutions. However, in the light of the latest developments, should investors do a rethink? The outlook for the market looks bleak it seems.
One interesting note I read today is Gates wasn’t concerned about the state of the U.S. economy in the long run. Gates seemed to be cool, or not terribly worried, about the U.S. financial crisis. “The U.S. economy in the long run is going to do very, very well. There are some interesting and meaningful decisions to be made in the next weeks,” Gates said. Read his side of the story on the current financial crisis here, “Gates takes U.S. financial crisis in stride“.

You have put a lot of work into your blog, spending time updating and enhancing it every day. Unfortunately, without a steady stream of traffic, its all for not. Use these seven tips to get more traffic to your blog.
1) Do your SEO and keyword research homework. Make sure the HTML of your site is search engine friendly. Here is a basic search engine optimization checklist:
2) Submit your site to the 1st and 2nd tier engines like Google, Yahoo, Dmoz, MSN and Looksmart, and to the blog directories. Here is a short list of sites that offer free blog listings:
Blog Search http://www.blog-search.com/blogclicker-submission.html
Technorati http://www.technorati.com/
Bloglines http://www.bloglines.com/
Blogdex http://blogdex.net/
Blogwise http://www.blogwise.com/
WeBlogALot http://www.weblogalot.com/
Globe of Blogs http://www.globeofblogs.com/
BlogHop http://www.bloghop.com/
Blogarama http://www.blogarama.com/
3) Ping like you mean it. This is a way for you to raise your hand to the blog trackers when you have posted new content. You can do it site by site at places like Technorati, or go to Ping-o-matic (http://pingomatic.com/) and mass-ping your blog to over 20 sites. Make sure your blog is set up to ping the appropriate sites every time you publish a post.
4) Feed your RSS. Make sure your blog has one and that it is working. An RSS feed is a bit of XML that allows your blog to push content to RSS readers. That way people don not have to visit your site to get your latest insights; they just open their RSS reader and read the news. If your blog is at Blogger.com, don not worry about an RSS feed, its already been created for you. If you are not at Blogger.com and your current blog doesn not have RSS functionality, visit Feedcraft.com and sign up for their free service that will set up an RSS feed from any website (blog or not).
5) Swap links. Make a list of relevant sites you would love to link to your blog. Write them a short friendly note and offer to let them use a few of your posts as content on their site in exchange for a link back to your site. Also, link to their sites from within one of your posts. Be sure to offer to exchange links in the links section of your blog. Most blog software programs offer this. There are also sites that special in helping bloggers swap links. Web Log Empire (http://www.weblogempire.com/) is a large one. If you are willing to pay for a link to your site, check out Text-Link-Ads (http://www.text-link-ads.com/)
6) Be part of the blogging community. Go to other blog sites you admire. Contribute to their blogs in ways that add real value. Write good, thoughtful comments that are content rich. Give away what you know. Do it a lot at least 3 posts a week. Over time you will become recognized as someone who has something worthwhile to say. As your reputation grows, people will seek out your blog. This is not an overnight process, but by paying your dues and building an audience you are positioning yourself to become a star. Additionally, if your site does not have the functionality for visitors to add comments, Haloscan (http://www.haloscan.com/) is a free service that will let them do so. It also allows for trackbacking, which is a way to manage pings.
7) Write your blog! Put everything you have got into it. Make it great! Post as frequently as you can. The search engines will note frequent postings. A blog that has a new post every day is obviously more active and important than a blog that was set up in 2003, has 4 posts, and has been dead since 2004. To really make your blog get noticed you will need to post at least 2-3 times a week.

This is a book title that I just bought today. “The New Millionaire$” by Gobala Krishnan. I bought it at MPH bookstore at Subang Parade. The moment I entered the store, there it is the book…..red in color,
So today, I am busy reading this new book and I will give you the summary a day or two later. I could only read this while at home and after Tarawih prayer. If you are anxious to know the content just rush yourself to nearby MPH bookstore and grab the book for only RM39.90!!
Book Synopsis from Gobala’s website
The New Millionaires by Gobala Krishnan reveals why an increasing number of Malaysians prefer to work from home, make money online and live like millionaires. This book explains the difference between how wealth is made in the 20th century (Old Millionaires), and how technology has enabled a radically new breed of future millionaires (New Millionaires) who lead the new patch to richest in the new millennium.
Among other things, the book explains in details the concepts of online niche marketing residual income, Internet business automation, working from home, and blogging. It also features interviews with successful local Internet entrepreneurs in Malaysia and examples from Gobala’s own Internet businesses.
The closer look of the book.
Guys, if you want to get more tips from Gobala, just become the member of IMC Group here or get into IMC Bootcamp for further juice of becoming the next internet millionaires. All the best to you and come back for the summary. Happy reading to me!
