Notice that this time the title does not say Top 10 but only Top EC and that is because starting this month,  I would be displaying top 25 Entrecard droppers on this blog. However, only the top 10 would get their banner displayed while the rest would only get a text link to their blogs.

There you go! The top 10 droppers. Random Ramblings, Bioteck, Lainy’s Musing, Joan Joyce, Kuerdas, The Fitness Diva, Windmill on the hill, The Natural State Hawg maintained their presence at the top spot. Last month, two new blogs made it to the Top 10 and they are Online Social Networking and Steven Humor.

The rest of the blogs that made it to the 11^th to 25^th positions are:

Sports 2000, Life is Simple, Crotchety Old Man, Nazham.com, Ask Ms Recipe, My Review, My Notes, Toltec Insights with Dr. Susan Gregg, Money Saving Pro, Work at Home, Spicybugz World, Look Around, Reenashwina, Time Recursion and Angels on Your Shoulder.

Thanks to all who have been actively coming over to Kisahberuang.com and thanks to those who do not make it to this month top 25 list as well and hope that you would be in my December 2008 list.

I love blogging but in order to blog I need a domain and a hosting service. I do not like free blogging platforms such as Blogger because I just don’t like it and it does not like me too and I am not kidding. I also need an internet connection to blog at home and all of that needs money.

So, traffic means money. More traffic means more money. People often said you need contents to get traffic and then you make money. Well, I said, that is true. But I also want to say that you need money to have a blog so that you can put in your contents. In the end, it would be a chicken and egg situation.

Before chicken and egg becomes omelet with chicken meat, and this post become irrelevant, let me go back to this post about getting traffic to your blog.

There is a new program in the blogging world and it is called Adgitize. If you are familiar with Entrecard, then this is something almost similar in the sense that it is about getting traffic to your blog. Some people said that it would be competing against Entrecard but I said it would just complement it.

There are some differences between Adgitize and Entrecard but the differences that I want to highlight are:

1. You need to pay to advertise in Adgitize but you use credits to advertise in Entrecard.
2. You advertise on specific blog on Entrecard but your ads will go to all blogs in the Adgitize network.
3. You only get traffic while using Entrecard but you can get traffic and money while using Adgitize.

Those are the main difference that I know or want to know and if you need further details, just go to Adgitize.

Well, since this is about traffic, let me update you on my Mission Alexa. My rank has taken a little dip and this could be related to some busy time at work as well as unexplainable laziness during the weekends that caused me to be less active online. The Alexa ranking has dropped from 124,364 to 125,308 as of today.

However, the good news is in the chart below:

The ranking in Malaysia has gone up from 3,805 to 3,479! Anyway that’s the only good news as the other rankings have gone down especially the United States.

Hey, has this got something to do with the financiial crisis over there?

Random Ramblings and Bioteck maintained their positions in the top 10. As for Bioteck, that blog has been in my top 10 list since the first time I created this list back in July 2008.

Lainy’s Musing and The Natural State Hawg made a comeback to the 10 list after missing the spots last month.

There are six new blogs that made it to the top 10 list and they are Joan Joyce, Money Saving Pro, Kuerdas!, Bonoriau, the Spirit of Blogging, Windmill on the Hill and Confessions of a Fitness Diva.

Thanks to all who have been actively coming over to Kisahberuang.com and thanks to those who do not make it to this month top 10 list as well and hope that you would be in my November 2008 list.

I have not been updating this blog for a few days now. I am around but I was just too busy to update and not too lazy to update. Why?

It was a long weekend with the Deepavali holiday that fell on Monday and during those days I was either out of the house or in the house but out of blogging. On Saturday, I went out with my family to an open house hosted by an ex-colleague somewhere in Kampung Subang and right after that, we went to get some shoes for my wife’s clients at SACC and Sunway Pyramid. By the time I got home, I was already too exhausted and watching Malaysia went down on penalty to Vietnam added to the no desire to update mood.

On Sunday, I had a fellow blogger, Lankapo and his family coming over for lunch and in the evening, the whole family went out to Jusco at Sunway Pyramid to top up our groceries and those were enough to take up any blogging time available.

On Monday, my family and I attended another open house by an ex-colleague somewhere in Puchong and then we went over to Lankapo’s house for a visit.

While at home during all those days, blogging would definitely not a good idea when my son, Pasha, was actively up, awake and playing as we had to play along with him. By the time he got tired and went to sleep, we were already sleeping and there went my blogging time…

Yesterday, I thought that I could put up an entry, I had to attend to a customer with some upgrade issues and the little time that I had for my break, I used that to catch up on my myLot postings since I am just a few cents away to make it to my minimum payout limit so that I can get paid by next month.

So, due to the above, I was not doing my regular Entrecard drops and I have not been able to reply to those who had shouted at the shoutbox. I think there are one or two comments that I have not replied yet. However, not to worry as I will be dropping EC, replying to shouts, replying to comments and updating regularly once I have got my rhythm back.

Thanks to those who have come over during these quiet days at Kisahberuang.com! You are the best! Yeah, you! I am talking to you!

It is time to announce the top 10 Entrecard droppers again! Here are the top 10 droppers at Kisahberuang.com during the month of September 2008!

In September Football, Unpredictable Life, Is a Mans World, Acakadut, Atniz and Bioteck maintained their top 10 positions. However, I just found that Acakadut has been deleted from Entrecard and I have no idea why?

There are four new blogs that made it to the top 10 and they are My Tramping View, Wisdom Hypnosis, Random Ramblings and Happy Thoughts, Happy Tot.

Thank you to all of you and to those who have dropped but did not make it to the top 10. Keep on coming to and dropping at Kisahberuang.com!
