Fun Theory

It’s been a long time since my last post. Well, since this blog has no meaningful progress, I’ve lose my interest to write in it.

But today I found interesting thing on the net, and I think it’s good to be shared with anybody.

I just come across to a site named thefuntheory.com that provided the ways to change people behavior with a fun method.

First time I saw the video was once in my facebook account, about people who make more people using a conventional stairs, instead of an escalator. The team work modified the stairs into a piano, so when somebody step on it, the stairs will produce a sound like a piano. It is very interesting. They make the project in a subway station. During the day, there are more people that using the stairs instead of escalator.

I especially like their slogan, ‘fun obviously changes people behavior for the better’… ‘We call it fun theory’.

I think it is true, that there are still many people do not have concern about their people around them, or their environments. Like throw away rubbish in any place instead of in a dust bin. I think it’s a good idea to make a fun method to change behavior for the better, don’t you agree?

Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (335 X 280). This format have the tendency to result in higher CTR (click-through rates). It is basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking in them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. And then, this will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

I Don't Know

I am wondering on my self sometimes, and this makes me think to check if there any body feel the same ways..
Like these ones
Feels like you're not belong to any place you have related to..
Sometimes I feel like Im trapped in between places that Im not belong to. Like, when Im in Semarang, and then I feel like I miss home, but when Im home, I just wanna get going soon..

Or like when you're not match with other people around you.
I often have clash with somebody. Parents, friends, even close friends. Like they never understand me. Or maybe I don't understand them? I don't know.


Well, when I read The Twilight Series, I think I will be glad when I know that there is a place in where I can be like what I should be, like Bella that at last know she was born to be a vampire, and feels like her place is being with the vampires. I don't know..

Right, this is silly. But I red The Secret too, and I think, somehow, far before I red it, I know that I believe in the words that written there. That when we believe in something, then we could make it true. The more specific we think about what we want, the more close we can get it in a real life.

It's like when I have some dreams about going aboard, and then I really going aboard. Singapore. Well, not really in vacation, but it was close. So close.

I don't know, but hey.. I'll keep do the best. That's what we all need to do, right?

I my self often having difficulty when I have to stand in front of a crowd and say something meaningful, or even something silly. But hey, we have to keep learning to improve ourself, right.

When you feel the same way, here are some tips I found to empowering your communication. It’s pretty simple and easy to do.

Share what you know
If you want to be an effective speaker, you must able to share what you know and that means you always have to keep learning, even when we know that we all have our limitations.

Listening

Humility
When speaking in a group, don’t be afraid to ask when there’s something that you don’t understand.

Eye Contact
It’s an important to making eye contact with your audience, so you can show your listener that you give them a full attention. In a large group, try to keep focus when you talking.

Kidding around
When your listeners starting to get bored, try to add a little bit of humor, so you will get their attention back, and your listener will feel that you’re just as approachable.

Be like the rest of them
Interaction is all about mingling with other people. You'll get a lot of ideas, as well as knowing what people make them as they are.

Me, Myself, and I
It’s as important as listening to other, you also need to listen to your own voice. Practicing your speech in front of a mirror can help you to improve your speaking.

With a smile
Expressing what you mean to say better with a smile. Just like an eye contact, people are much easier to listen when you use a friendly gesture, like smile.

A Role Model
Surely there are some people that you consider as a good speaker. Even when they read their lines, you still can taking a mental note on how they emphasize what they say and how they gain the public attention.

Preparation
A good preparation is a half way to success. Remember to not make it to be just scribbing notes in a hurried panic, write your points or lines orderly, so you can always keep up with what you say.

These tips are amateurish, I realize, but I think it can help us when it comes the time to public or private speaking. Don’t forget to be with people and listen how they make conversation.
