Good God, I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of 2009 - time really flies! The last 2 months were pretty hectic for me, where I spent quite a bit of time and attention to help Locus-T prep their SEO and Google Adwords services. But I’m glad that things are moving quickly - we’ve recruited a handful of new staff, registered a company in Singapore, got an office and even managed to get the guys from Google to conduct some training.

They say the only thing constant in life is change. And I’ve gone through many changes in my business of SEO/Adwords consulting - some big, some small. Recently, I took a major leap and made LarryLim.NET part of Locus-T.com! (more…)

Larry Lim — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 00:29:20 +0000

A recent report by Nielsen revealed that Malaysia’s advertising expenditure in the first half of 2009 totalled RM2.9 billion - a 1% decline from the same period last year (see news article). Internet advertising, based on estimates from established local sites like The Star, received 10% share of the adex. (more…)

Larry Lim — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:34:11 +0000

I received a link from a friend on Facebook to vote for her sister in IKEA’s “GO clean your room contest”. It’s a brilliant viral marketing idea (certainly one of the rare few I’ve seen in Malaysia) using social networks. Here are some screenshots: (more…)

New E-Learning Portal in Singapore, eduPOP

Larry Lim — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 06:35:23 +0000

Popular’s digital arm just launched an e-learning portal in Singapore called eduPOP. I personally think it’s pretty cool because kids start on computers from a very young age these days and instead of playing games (my 6 year old niece spends the whole afternoon playing the bubble game on Yahoo), they could spend their time more productively on the many interactive educational programs available there.

Google Suggest And ORM

Larry Lim — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:50:22 +0000

I wrote previously about how a company cleverly defended its online reputation by focusing on a strong site and addressing all its PR issues there, instead of the traditional ORM idea of displacing negative results with spam using SEO. The recent introduction of search query suggestions by the major search engines reinforces this practical approach further. (more…)

Bing Search Engine by Microsoft

Larry Lim — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:06:04 +0000

Microsoft yesterday launched Bing, their new search engine. The initial response has been neutral at best, with some critics ridiculing the effort on their blog as “Bing Goes Live …or is it Live Goes Bing?” (Microsoft’s previous search engine was called Live) and “BING - But It’s Not Google”.

Larry Lim — Thu, 28 May 2009 00:32:39 +0000

If you’re wondering why (like me) your mailbox is inundated with spam everyday, well, you’re not alone. MessageLabs, a Symantec company, recently published spam statistics in Asia Pacific. (more…)

New Windows, New Opportunity

Larry Lim — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:41:59 +0000

Wow! I can’t believe that Microsoft is already preparing to launch it’s new Windows 7. It certainly brings back some nice memories. I remember starting with a Vista wallpaper website, then a blog, an Amazon affiliate site and finally, a forum. All in all, I made more than US$50,000 from these websites alone. More importantly, that experience got me to where I am today. (more…)
