I am glad that Ash Chuan invited me to have an interview. He… He… This is the first interview I have after having this blog. Thanks her for giving me such a chance.
Here are the interview questions and anwsers…

Jayce starts to blog at late of March 2007. Decided to have own blog after Bernie (http://www.bernie.net.my), friend’s persuasion.

2. Can you tell us what your blog’s about?
Photography. It is most taking about photography for the moment after Jayce bought his first SLR camera. No choice. He likes to take photograph very much. Other than photography, he also like to blog about programming, finance and technology…

3. Where do you get your inspiration and stories for your blog and how often do you blog?
Works, friends, websites, everywhere that Jayce can find it sources. He updates Jayce Ooi’s Paradise 3-4 times weekly. Daily update if time is permitted. Anyway, he will check on his blog comments everyday.

4. Has it been easy to drive traffic to your blog and can you share the strategy you used to build traffic to your blog?
Building traffic is not an easy task for Jayce. He learnt a lot just to increase his blog traffic like everyone do. However, building up traffic take time. He believes in “Write the best post that interest other will make people come to your site.� And it does help to increase traffic. Join community will also help.

5. Do you monetize your blog using pay per click advertising and how successful has it been for you?
No. It will make Google PageRank drops.

6. Do you use any statistics application to analyze keywords and traffic data to your blog?
Google Analytics is the best tool that Jayce is using right now.

7. Based on your blogging experience, would you like to share a few pointers on how to succeed at blogging?
Be yourself. Write what you like. Find other blogs that have same interest with you. Interact with them.

8. And finally, would you consider becoming a problogger in the near future?
Sure. Why not? Everyone who blog should target for that.
Well… That’s it. Hope that someone, somewhere will interview me again in the future.
