Guest Bloggers

This site is very new but rest assured that it will get big traffic in a few months time since I have the marketing wheels in motion now to drive future traffic.

As the title of this post suggests, I am welcoming guest blogger posts. In case you are unfamiliar with this concept it is a way to get exposure for your own blog in a round about way by blogging on another site. If you are very good then you may end up stealing all the traffic from the blog you post on.

So I am offering this opportunity at some risk. But I hope it works out as a win-win situation for both of us. Additionally, I am available for posting as a guest blogger on your blog too!

Let’s help each other out here and see how it works out. Post a comment if you are interested to take part…

Site Status

The status of this site is that it is evolving. Once I had the idea planted in my head, the priority was to get the site launched. This is why it currently doesn’t look as slick and polished as it maybe should.

Visiting Manila

Skye advises foreigners to not visit Manila due to the noise, pollution and corrupt traffic cops. It seems like a bad idea to drive around the city judging by the crazy incidents that can occur in just one day of driving. Read about the guy who stopped the traffic to take a leak against his own car wheel!

Her blog looks great and the articles are addictive reads so don’t go there unless you have plenty of time on your hands.

MyBlogLog Readers Welcome!

Hello! Well I just installed the MyBlogLog widget onto this site. This displays recent visitors to this site. To kick it off, I searched on “Thailand” on the MyBlogLog site and visited over 100 blogs that were related to this term. It didn’t take too long and I found a few sites to bookmark along the way.

Already I am seeing my traffic increase. Sorry if I don’t personally welcome every blogger who checks out this site, but I have some ideas to help you get more free traffic.

You will already appear in the MyBlogLog widget so you can get traffic that way if you recently visited this site, but a much more powerful way to get traffic is to post a comment here! Introduce yourself and say something about your web site. I have the rel nofollow tag turned off so search engines and visitors to this site will find you and increase your traffic.

Go on… post a comment to freely advertise your site and get free long term targeted traffic :-

Countries of Asia

There are many countries within Asia since it covers 8.6% of the Earth’s surface so I will have to be a little picky as to which countries I write about.

The theme of this site is luxury living on a low budget so this helps with narrowing down the choices to places that English speaking people would want to live. Places that are popular tourist destinations and where the cost of living is low would be a good starting point. Also, places that are relatively safe and there is no war going on would be good too.

My thinking at the moment is to start with Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia. Later I can add other countries as the site grows and reader interests become clearer.

In September I will be staying in Phuket (Thailand) where I hope to take some nice photos to share here. I have been there before but I didn’t have a digital camera at the time. But I do remember having a great time snorkeling over coral reefs amongst tropical fish, riding an elephant, going for trips in fast boats and visiting the small island featured in the James Bond movie Gold Finger.

My flight from Japan where I am currently staying will only cost me about $400 and my accommodation is something like $18 a night so it will hardly break the bank. It’s actually work, since I need more photos and experiences to share on this blog.

I look forward to your comments.

Retire Early to a Life of Luxury

Hi folks,

this is my first post on this site that will help you learn how to retire early to a life of luxury while you are still young enough to enjoy it. Even if you need medical care, you can get it cheap and be pushed around in your wheel chair by young attractive carers whilst you admire the sun setting over a palm beach.

We are talking nice warm weather, friendly people and a very low cost of living.
