i just found out that someone else has started a web design or web development weblog at Blogger. Let’s give a round of applause to James Tan of ISSConcept who’s..
..a professional ERP consultant that works with few local well-known ERP software provider.
Mr.Tan recently left a ‘very’ constructive comment on my entry, E-Commerce Malaysia. The comment that was left by James was something like this..
Dear sir, agreed with you.
“URL removed due to self advertising” – Danny Foo
JAMES
As you can see, I shamelessly removed the center sentence in hs comment because it was a mere redirection to his weblog that was started in August 2005. Actually, to be honest, I wouldn’t really call that it even started because when I visited his MalaysiaWebDesign.blogspot.com website, it only had 4 entries. There was one in August, one in September and two this month. Thank goodness.
The other funny thing I was wondering, why does he need so many Blogger accounts to address both of his latest entries this month? *shrug*
The first was tips to build a good and effective website. The odd thing here is that you’re then lead to another weblog started by him called, http://website-design-malaysia.blogspot.com/. Nope, that isn’t linked because if I wanted to do that, I’d rather have linked this than his main website. The second or latest entry was about finding and picking out a good website hosting provider in Malaysia. That article when clicked on leads you to http://webhostingmalaysia.blogspot.com.
In my humble opinion, I wouldn’t advise anyone to do something like this especially when you’ve already named your weblog, Malaysia Web Design. For the webhosting it’s still alright but pushing your visitors from your main weblog to an article at just another weblog, what is the point?
James also runs another blog that covers the topic ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) – that I only found out what it meant via Google. He also acknowledges that he’s an SEO specialist since year 2000. Now where did I put that Qualified SEO Specialist test. SEO Quiz, James?
The quiz is just about the ‘fathers’ of SEO. :)
Maybe he wants to become Malaysian with the most accounts on blogger.com?
it’s just another splog
if you check out http://issconcept.com/ in firefox, you will know what an awesome web designer he is.
The site is really TERRIBLE in firefox!
I did notice the website in Firefox since it is my default browser. But I’d rather let you guys have all the fun. ;)
Anyway, I’m going to be looking forward to see what other stuff James will be churning out since the review is now archived here.
He’s giving us Malaysian web designers or developers a bad name! >_<
the site looks weird on opera too.
by the way danny, your site looks weird on opera.. im using opera 8.5 for your information.
Hmm, Gemini, when you meant weird.. did you mean the background doesn’t load? Other than that, the text formatting remains consistent. :)
I’ll try to force a background color onto the DIV.
*EDIT*
Weirdly enough, I tried to forced a background but it still didn’t work. :|
yeap, thats what i meant when i say weird..
any way to fix it?
I’ve tried assigning a background color to the IDs but that didn’t work. Probably I’ll just use a different template for the time being. See how it goes.
Hi danny, thanks for visit and comment on my website, whether good or bad, i am humble to listen, as in internet world, you are freedom to talk.
I noticed in my web statistic and found there are some references from your site, and therefore i came and read your above article. For me , there are some issues i have to clarify with your guys :
1) thanks for pointing the errors in firefox, i am designing a new website to replace it since the old website is designed 2 years ago, i was overlooked at the time in firefox compatablity. Thanks guys.
2) yes, i just posted 1 article in august, 1 in sept , and 2 in october ? so ? cannot ? for me, blog is a place to place articles about your opinions, views or suggestions. Whether you want to post it once a day, once a week or once a month, it is up to you, am i right ? Danny :)
3) i created many sub-domains of blogger because i prefer this way, instead of putting on artcles in one sub-domain, i prefer one article in one sub-domain. this is the way i prefer, that’s all, danny.
4) Regarding the SEO, well, i am in SEO business, my clients are my iron proofs. i guarantee to my clients that i can do SEO for top 30 position.(but mostly they will get top 15)however, sorry i cannot give you their website because it is against our terms and conditions with clients. However, you can try this below to see how i can did SEO : ( well, i won’t list the link out, since you will say i am advertising myself :) )
For Example: In MSN , try search “Malaysia web design” , “Malaysia website design ” , you can find my blog and my company listed in first or second page. In yahoo, i am using another domain to represent my company (if you know SEO, you should know Each search engines have its own favorites, so in Yahoo, i use another domain for SEO, if you free, try check out it, it should be in second page) , For Google, sorry, some of my clients website appears, but my blog and company not there in first top 30 position, Google remain the hardest search engine to get Top 30 )
“I’ve edited out other examples because one is enough. Two makes it as though you’re trying to market yourself. Sorry.” – Danny Foo
For the SEO Quiz, well, danny, it is interesting, but end of the day, we need the proofs that a person can really do SEO for himself or clients, so, checking with the search engines results is the most practical one. ^-^
Regards
JAMES
p/s : Danny, really thanks for your comment, glad to know you. :)
Hey James,
My apologies if the post sounded threatening or ticked you off. The whole reason I did it was to make sure no one makes the same mistake of promoting their services or weblog on mine. There’ve been discussion of this kinda thing where by commenters leave their weblog URL in the comment though it’s already being mentioned there.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to hear more of your SEO articles. Probably you could concentrate on that as a niche since I too am really interested in it. :)
Cheers.
Hi, it is ok, danny. may be we can work together, i may also need outsource my web design job, and may be your clients need SEO too.
Cheers .
JAMES
