Sweet Surrender’s Page Rank(PR)

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Sweet Surrender’s Page Rank(PR)

WOW!! Raining for 3 days now… Not stopping yet. However, I’m not worry that my place will be flooded as my area is consider one of the highest areas in Kuching. Though The Sarawak River is just nearby and Senari Port is nearby too, there is no fear of flood. If my area floods, the whole Kuching will be under water *LOL* Summore, where else can you find so many hills in the middle of Kuching? My area alone already have more than 3 hills. The highest is the one where CHMSNo1 situated. The hills are not like what you imagine with muddy road, big tall trees everywhere, orang utans swinging from tree to tress -_-” Sorry… As we always get comments/questions about living in the jungle or on trees. Surprising at this era, we still get questions and statements like this hahaha… They are well-lit tarred roads with shops built at both sides and the dividers are planted with decoration trees.

Aiyooo… PPP rejected many of my posts because according to them, my page is less than PR1/10!! -_-” No wonder ReviewMe didn’t want to approve me after so many times of submitting. But… But.. But… I checked from so many sites that mine is PR3/10 using http://www.irenelaw.com and http://www.irenelaw.com. FYI, I’m using irenelaw.com for PPP 🙁 See!

Check Page Ranking

My post about home security got rejected because the reason was that my common PR was PR0/10, average PR was 0.18/10. Fine… I understand as the requirement for that post was I must have PR4/10. Then, today another got rejected because the requirement is PR3/10 about SEO & SEM and I was told that my common PR is still 0/10 and average PR now is only 0.35/10, a bit of increment from the other day. So pathetic. So, for these two posts, I had removed all the links to the sponsors’ sites and remove it from Commercial Break category and edit them to be my own post for SEO purpose *EVIL GRIN* Now… I’m waiting for 3 more rejections as they all required PR3/10 and above.

Another one about the photography contest was rejected because my blog is not a photography blog so I had deleted this post and replaced with other post and the replaced post was approved! Hahaha…

Now… I think I have to do tramendous SEO works to this blog so that I can have higher PR. I already have several plans for it but don’t worry, they have nothing to do with my entries, they are just some technical stuffs such as tweaking the codings here and there. Also… Mind to exchange link with me? 😛

Streamyx Petition In Press

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Streamyx Petition In Press

Warning: Long winding post.

Remember a post that I posted about having problem with Streamxy not long ago? The petition was brought to light by Sin Chiew Daily News on the 14th of January. There was a sudden surge of traffic that day and the signatures kept coming in non-stop. SEE!!! Obviously there are so many unsatisfied customers. Poor Streamyx users :(. There are 2399 signatures as in today, 11.37pm. Thanks to the reporter that had helped in reporting it and I hope more newspapers or mass media can also report about this petition. I hope you can post about it in your blog too. If you want to sign, then click here.

When the report was out that day, someone claimed to be representative of Streamyx called the site owner up and asked him why he started the petition and what happened to his line, then asked him to visit TM Net User Group website to learn more about the speed provided. Before putting down the phone, he added that Malaysia laws do not allow petition. WHAT THE ***!?!?!? So the site owner called up a lawyer to asked about it and the lawyer said that there is no such thing! SEE! Someone is trying to scare him to stop the petition! That’s the job of a coward!

OH! You think we are stupid?

I have subscribed to 512Kbps package. Why am I not getting the whole 512Kbps even when I connect to TM Net’s server?

………how to calculate the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Modulation) speed for your connection. TM Net provide a connection service speed on DSL level at say 512 kbps. ATM has a block capacity of 35 where there is no wait before the second sequence starts. Therefore the packet is in a block of 35 of service packet speed. For every packet sent there is a 16 bytes header and ATM index of 140 (35 X 4 bytes) for a total header of 700 bytes per block….(click for more details)

HELLO?!?!? We know that! DUH! We know that we can’t get 512Kbps when we subscribe to 512Kbps package! How to explain when we subscribe to 512Kbps when we only get the speed of like 56Kbps only? Or 1Mbps and we only get below 512Kbps? Cannot be?!?!? That’s not right! Primary school students also know the logic. If I get something like 600+, 700+, 800+ or 900+Kbps when I subscribed to 1Mbps, it’s still acceptable. There is no way I pay for 1Mbps package and getting the speed for 512Kbps package or below! What?!!??! You think we are stupid? We are much more IT literate than those operators that answered our phone calls when we called cusotmer support!

Guess what??!?!? These few days, I have to restart my modem at least twice! This is because out of sudden I couldn’t connect to the Internet. Therefore I have to restart my modem to get my line back! GRRRRR… So angry you know! Really suckssssssss!!!

AND! AND! WHAT THE HECK WITH THE USER GROUP!?!?!? What is the use of it? This is what you get from the site:

TM Net User Group is the contatenation of a group of hardcore TM Net users elected to represent the multitute of users of TM Net services.

The Sarawak TM Net user group was formed on the 21 March 2006 and bearing the office by a group of users from various industries. The user group’s aims is to channel the various types of services rendered by TM Net to the users and to collect feedbacks to TM Net on level of services, quality of services and incidental references. Part of which would also contribute to the bridging of digital divide and make to bring common sense of the services offerred by TM Net to educate the users of TM Net various services and to bring the services of TM Net to the vast population of Sarawak.

Guess again! Kenny Sia is the Chairman! Ok… I’m not saying that he’s bad or what, the one providing bad service to us is not him, it’s TM Net. They are just representing us and they are the minority that are lucky enough. However, I don’t think this user group is any helpful or representing us at all. I don’t think TM is even listening to them. The real users are the one that have to put up with all sort of craps and lousy services! The real users are those that signed the petition! If really TM is listening to them, we won’t be getting such crappy services for years! YEA YEA YEA… I know… It’s only started last year but it seems that the problems are increasing instead of decreasing. YEA YEA YEA… I know… Because of increasing subscribers indirectly the there are more complaints.

Pardon me?
Bring common sense? Someone from that group had just called up and didn’t make any sense about the law! Don’t talk about common sense when common sense tells us that this is not the service we should be getting with the money we had spent. Since you are supposed to be representing us, you should escalate and bring our plights to TM management instead of calling us up and blame us for not understanding even tried to hint us to stop the petition by talking about the law!??!?
To educate user? *LOL* You call that educate? Educate us that Streamyx is such a lousy service provider? Educate us not to complain about the bandwidth we are getting that does not tally with our subscribed package because this is the limitation that we have to put up with? Educate us that this is M’sia, that’s why you are getting such crappy services?
Hardcore?*AHEM* There are so many more that are much more hardcore than them! Fine… I don’t want to argue about this. I’m just in the mood of picking.

Bad news for those using BT or EMule. According to them:

Why my download speed is so slow when I use Bit-Torrent and EMule?

That is because both BT and Emule are dealing with 99.9% contents that violates the Terms and Conditions of Streamyx account. Please refers to Section 13.iv and 13.viii. of the Terms and Condition.

YEAH RIGHT! You thought why people subscribe to Streamyx? Of course for downloading! DUH! Else what is the use of Streamyx? And OH! These are the “hardcore” users! Summore, it’s such a shame that our max speed for home user is only 1Mbps or 1.5Mbps depending on the location. I have many overseas readers reading this and I’m sure they are laughing or even surprised that our broadband is such a “narrow”band eh… Agree? What a shame…

Long.. Long.. Long post. How long will this lousy service last? I don’t know… Many said that the petition is just “gay liau”(“no use” in Hokkien), I do aware of that but at least we can know that we are not the only one suffering. This platform is for other unfortunate users to voice out their dissatisfactions and PLEASE! TM USER GROUP! Make yourself useful! You are representing us! GRRRRRRRR!!!

SEO & SEM

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on SEO & SEM

Any company with website will want to make sure their sites are high ranking enough in the search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Would you go to page 2, page 3 and so on when you did a search? You might but I’m sure your first few clicks will be those in the first page. Once you got what you want in those first few clicks, would you go to second or third page? Obviously you won’t.

SEO and SEM come in here. By the way, SEO is search engine optimisation and SEM is search engine marketing. There are ethical and unethical ways of implementing them. The one that yields effective result is of course using the ethical ways. Unethical ways will give you the result but it’s not going to be long term. Then you’ll be wasting all your money.

Therefore, you have to find company that provide Ethical SEO and Avoid Search Engine Marketing Malpractice to make sure your money is well invest. It’s not cheap to hire SEO and SEM specialists but once it’s properly implemented, the return is huge and you can easily cover the money you had spent on these experts.
