Who is Keenan Cahill? Wikipedia Please!

Keenan CahillWhen I hear about lip sync on Youtube, I always remember Moymoy Palaboy (Filipino) and Shinta-Jojo (Indonesia). When people searched them in my website, I don't have many clue about Keenan Cahill.

Keenan is a Guy from Elmhurst, Illinois. A suburb of Chicago, that has a disease that stops him form growing. his videos went viral on youtube making him an international hit. He is known for lipsyncing and dancing to videos made by famous pop stars. He is characterized as a very 'cute' kid. He had brain surgery early 2010 and recently lip-synced with 50 cent. Keenan Cahill states on his YouTube bio that he is 15 years old. He was born in 1995. Keenan Cahill is famous on YouTube for posting lip syncs of popular songs like Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."

Create Website Using Auto-Generated Content

I just saw so many website with auto generated content that make a lot of traffic. The main problem of the website, the auto generated content create junk to the search engine result. How about myself? I tried to create website with auto generated content, statimo.com, just to proof that auto generated content can deliver traffic, but it also useless.

So, how web owners can create website using auto generated content?

RSS Feed
The easiest way to create website with auto generated content is by using RSS. Almost blogs and websites provide RSS, so we can fetch them easily. But, always get the website owner permission before redistribute them to your website readers or they can sue you.

Search Engine API
By creating search engine in your website, you can create auto generated content. By put some keyword based on your website, yo can get so many content from the search engine.

Anyway, I always encourage you to create original content, because original content is the best solutions for your website. It better for you to create original short content rather than auto generated content.

How Can I Make Money From Web

RupiahSome people asked me about how to make money from web. Since I worked at Global Intermedia, an IT company, I not frequently update about online earning. After find my passion, I got that I enjoyed going out and meet people rather than work virtually in front of computer.

But, from my experience since year 2000 about online earning, I got some point about how to make money online:

Website Traffic is Money
If you have website with high traffic, you can get possibility to add banner to your website and earn money. You can get money from pay per impression, pay per click, or pay per lead/sale. The negative thing about this kind of traffic is because people focus on traffic, some of them create spam, just to get traffic and 'steal' money from advertiser.

Targeted Traffic is Money
Which would you choose, get lot traffic with small money, or get low traffic with more money? Integrating online business and offline business is a good idea, because your website is just a promotion tools, but you can get your money by offline. I wrote this blog, and this website even not earn more than USD 100 a year from banner, but some people who read my writing invite me to do some projects or jobs, and that make a lot of money for my company, and then for me too.

Beside that, the main key of business is find what people need, and sell to them. I just think that some website like Facebook and Twitter make a lot of money because know what people want by analyzing users data or their status. By analyzing their status, age, demographic, culture, they can know what people want and offer suitable product for them.
