LHDN going after Bloggers!

Posted on the January 24th, 2011 under Blogging by

Read about this at Cikidong Dong Dong Cikideng Deng Deng (what a long name!) this morning. His post titled Blogger Kaya caught my attention. It’s about how some bloggers who made tons of money blogging!

As things get warmer, Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia on its Facebook page hopped on the bandwagon reminding bloggers the need to pay tax. Mixed responses received from the public, mainly bloggers…

My personal response to this can be summarized into 3 words… WTF… Oh wait! Another 3 words… LOL…

By the way, here is my snapshot of my current Nuffnang earning since last year!


I am a rich blogger, am I not? If that is in RM, I would be happy to pay my blogging tax. Blogging tax? Oh boy! Does this mean that Nuffnang must provide income statement to all its members for tax declaration purposes? Can anybody answer that please?

So my fellow bloggers, how do you feel about LHDN taxing your blogging income? Would love to read about your comments on this!

P/s:
I am definitely, as of this hour, richer than Apak Cikidong as far as Nuffnang earning is concerned…

P/s/s:
Rich bloggers that earn thousands of RM a month should pay tax – I agree!

P/s/s/s:
Sometimes seeing my Nuffnang earnings in other currency makes me happier – Denial syndrome…

Is this the New Nuffnang CPA Ad?

Posted on the January 22nd, 2011 under Blogging by

Most of you must have noticed this. An advertisement that appears persistently on your blog and yet it is not of of those Buffered Earning Ads from Nuffnang. Global CPC ads only appear at specific time. BE ads only appear at selected blogs. This new ad is everywhere and appear most of the time…

I am sure the ad below looks familiar…

Could this be the first cost per action (CPA) ad since the announcement from Nuffnang recently?

Not everyone has a constant stream of ads running all the time so we’ve been experimenting with methods in which to further optimize the ad space from your blogs and increase earnings. After consulting some of our loyal Nuffnangers, we’ve decided to roll out our first Cost Per Action (CPA) ads. With CPA ads, you get rewarded whenever there’s a specified action desired by the advertiser e.g. a product being purchased or, a registration form being submitted as a result from clicking on the ad from your blog etc. The amount earned will range from the transaction involved. The more difficult it is to do the transaction the more you earn. For example, if users who click on a banner are meant to just fill up a form, a blogger can earn say RM1 to RM20 per sign up (depending on the advertiser). However if it’s something more challenging, say if something of high value is bought then the amount rewarded can be even over RM50 being rewarded per transaction. – Quoted from Introducing another way to optimize your Nuffnang earnings.

Anybody has any idea or any comment on this?

Maxis Wired Broadband after 2 Months

Posted on the January 20th, 2011 under Blogging,Gadget by

This is a follow up, as promised, to the Maxis In and P1 Out post.

After two months using the Maxis Wired Broadband, under the 2 Mbps package, We would say that this WBB is satisfactory. Previously when using the Jaring and P1 services, the connection was not as stable as this Maxis WBB. Here are a few of the improvements that we are enjoying at the moment.

  1. With all 3 computers connected to the internet, no noticeable impact on the surfing speed.
  2. Downloads, such as movie files, can be done at any time without affecting others who are surfing.
  3. Able to watch online streaming video or TV with almost no interruption.

Below are the results of 3 speed test that we did with different sites.

Maxis very own speed test site gave the best results. Up to 1.95 Mbps download and 0.33 Mbps upload. Was it because we were testing its own service?

Let’s see what P1 said. Actually not that far off from the result from Maxis. 1.826 Mbps download and 0.421 Mbps upload.

How about an independent party? Speedtest.Net returned 1.79 Mbps for download and 0.42 Mbps for upload .

In conclusion, speed is stable and acceptable. Theoretically, the speed can be further improved if we were to replace the modem + wireless router setup with a 2 in 1 modem and router box. At the moment, bridging mode is being used between the modem and the router.

Lastly, we also did a ping test using Pingtest.Net and the line obtained an “A”. That should be good and hopefully it will remain that way for its lifetime.

Any downtime so far? Yes, there were a few downtimes but the main problem, until today, is not so much of the WBB but the competence level of the customer services. None of them that we talked to have sound knowledge on modem, router or broadband. A few could not even differentiate between a modem and a router. We had officially complained to Maxis about that. Nowadays, any problem encountered, we would first call the contractor, instead of Maxis, and so far, the few problems that we had were quickly resolved.

Earlier this evening, P1 called us up and made an offer on their 4G broadband services. The thing about P1 is that it is no more a case of once bitten twice shy. They bit us twice already…
