LIT Conversion To Other Format
The new generation of bookworms’ primary problem is ebook conversion especially if they’re going to read the ebook not on their computer but on handheld device such as mobile phones. Chosen format varies on the electronic device they will be using and of course the mobile ebook application or ebook reader. Its impossible to read LIT eBooks on mobile phones as I’ve mentioned from my previous post here. LIT format eBooks can be read by Microsoft Reader.
How to convert LIT files? There are many free conversion software in the internet. It just so happen that I’ve been using ABC Amber LIT Converter v 2.05. Actually, I’ve used the older version.
LIT A Book!
Would you lit a book? Nah! I’m just in a playful mood to make the title sounds unusual. Even if I consider myself as an eBook addict, I still do read paperbacks and I still keep my collection. Btw, the image at the right is courtesy of ala.org. Moving to a self hosted blog is not that easy, it took time to figure things out… plugins, settings, template customization etc. Actually, I’m not yet done. Anyway, I’ve been browsing my archives and realized that I still have several articles left unpost. Let me start with eBook formats.
Trust You Drop I Follow Button?
The You Drop, I Follow groups have finally grown like mushrooms. I’ve been making this list since I’ve posted You Drop I Follow to link everyone who participates. It doesn’t mean that they have the button or badge on their site, as long as they follow the entrecard drops “effectively”.
As I continue dropping and looking for these sites that have the button, badge or phrase on their site, my drop rank had move to “A dedicated dropper with a hint of addiction” with 120-150 drops daily. Finding these blogs somehow improved my position in the category I am with because they do return the drop. However, there are some sites claiming that they “do follow” but they don’t actually does.
These sites deserves the link here, I might also edit this article to remove or add some links. This also serves as a link building article to help one another improved our authority. To those who don’t have the button, badge or phrase near your entrecard widget, this is the best option. Its like hitting two birds with one stone. Win! Win! Win! You can make your own article of the “You Drop, I Follow” droppers and ping me back so I can added you on the list.

Update: This list started at 25, increased to 35 and now down to 28 for I found many bloggers claiming that they reciprocate but they don’t really do.

More Traffic With Traffic Jam
I’ve received an email from blogrush announcing the released of TrafficJam. I’m not using blogrush on this blog before. In case you didn’t know javascript doesn’t work on wordpress.com, and that’s my blog provider before I moved to my own host. Anyway, I’ve used blogrush to my other blog and eventually decided to delete my blog from blogrush and removed the widget from my blog. Take note, I’ve deleted my blog but not cancelled my account.
Many bloggers have post their disappointments with blogrush and I’ve read some of them. They have posted them when blogrush “cleaned” their community few months ago. Actually, I am among the bloggers that my widget still worked on my blog and I am proud with that. But the thing is, I had the widget on my blog for almost 1 1/2 month and can’t see any traffic coming from blogrush. I was really disappointed but I took off the widget “NOT” for that reason. I took it off because of the slow loading time when the widget was on my blog. Did you notice your blog’s loading time with or without the widget?
Mobile eBooks Etc is giving blogrush another try just because of Traffic Jam. I have added my blogs again to blogrush and use the widget hoping that TrafficJam would work. Let me share a part of their email.
Want your posts to appear on TrafficJam.com? If you have the BlogRush widget installed on your blog it will happen automatically when any of your posts ’score’ well with TJ’s algorithm.
A big ‘key’ for scoring well, which is the same key to get traffic from BlogRush, is to learn to write powerful, yet specific blog post TITLES. Poke around TJ and notice the titles. Almost all of them are very SPECIFIC.
For example, rather than having a post say, “Today Was A Really Bad Day” it’s more effective if it says, “Why I Almost Smacked My Boss Today” or “Ever Split Your Pants At Work?” etc. etc.
TJ’s Algorithm? I still don’t know how it works but looking forward to a much better traffic with Traffic Jam.
Update (Nov. 13, 2008): I removed the links, Blogrush and TrafficJam was closed.
My Entrecard Do Follow Principle
Do we really have to use a button to let others know that we do follow if they drop their card on our blog? I don’t think so… as long as we practice the principle on a regular basis, a fruitful result will always follow in the long run. Having a “You Drop, I Follow” button on your site is a wise thing to do, but you can also make your own button or titled your widget as “You Drop, I Follow” just like what I did on my site.
Always remember that we are avoiding the high bounce rate just like the “hotshots” are talking about. Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.” Don’t just drop just because you want to return the favor. See the profile… Check the drop rank… Check the blog’s category… Then check on the blog before dropping your card. You might find an article that interests you wherein you might also want to comment. The basic idea here is not to follow only, but to develop a good relationship to the co-members of entrecard… to make a better blogosphere. You might also found a perfect site to advertise that will drive an appropriate traffic on your blog.
Who doesn’t need entrecard credits? Maybe the blogosphere’s hotshots. LOL! But most of the bloggers need the credits in able to place adverts to other blogs. Of course, but there are contests that you’ll miss if you don’t browse the site before dropping your card.
