Online Store Tokobagus.com Changed Name Into OLX.co.id

Tokobagus.com Surprisingly Change Their Name Into OLX.Co.id

There are something different when you tried accessing the online buying and selling websites, Tokobagus.com. After typing the URL address, a notification appears on the screen stating that the name of biggest e-commerce site in Indonesia Tokobagus.com will be changed into OLX Indonesia and it's address will also change at www.olx.co.id.

A surprising maneuver made by the business company Tokobagus has officially announced that the website changed its name becoming OLX starting Tuesday, twentieth May 2014. In an official statement, OLX explained that this change only occurs in the new name and URL. Trading activities and advertising can still be done as usual.

"This change will only occurs to the website name, which Tokobagus.com be OLX, including a new logo and URL we specially introduce to you. While all other aspects, which have been enjoyed by millions of Indonesian society today, will remain the same and unchanged," wrote the e-commerce company in press release received lately this morning.

Just a short review, OLX itself is a global e-commerce brand owned by Naspers. The company has invested in Tokobagus since 2010. Thanks to it's aggressive advertising method on the internet, the commercial site literally achieved success on commercial and brand recognizing by Indonesian netters. Now it is considered as one of the biggest online shopping website and every single user can be their own seller plus being buyer to another seller.

OLX Group is now already present in 106 countries. The websites of e-commerce was already available in more than 40 languages. OLX Group was founded in 2006 by Fabrice Grinda and Alec Oxenford. Since they were first established, the company is headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, after the expansion, OLX moved its base of operations in New York, USA, in effort to chasing another success story of Information Technology company as the other competitors.

In 2010, Naspers entered as a strategic investor in OLX, reportedly through an investment of 20 to 40 million U.S. dollars. With this large amount of capital, they hope to be spreading all around the world and become the biggest e-commerce company in the world.

Naspers is a large media group based in South Africa. Expansion into Indonesia made ​​in 2010 when investing in Tokobagus, and also Multiply that now has stopped operating.

When investing in a group OLX, Naspers said it would acquire or establish an internet community in the country, before plunging into e-commerce, communications, and content.

Since it was hard to compete in Indonesian e-commerce market, where there are some large company operating various website with online-store concept, such as Berniaga, Lazada, Rakuten, and the minor companies like Kaskus with their unique militant users and followers, OLX Indonesia need to be more aggressive than their rival to promote the new name, logo, and URL.

We will no longer see the cute and funny advertisement on Indonesian television saying "Jual aja di Tokobagus.Com", instead of the new ads which promoting the changing concept of their e-commerce website. Well, I hope they will be able to maintain their success formula in making online trading in Indonesia become easier.

Blogging Tips: Finding Best Topic To Write For Your Article

What Kind of Topic is Best For You to Write as An Article?

When it come to choosing on what kind of topic should you write about, maybe you'll need to read this article first.

Sometimes you get stuck on getting more ideas for you blog, and your fingers are stand by on the computer's keyboard but you still don't know what to write. Well, I've been experiencing that too.

First of all, we should see what really are people mostly want to search about on the internet. Just imagine if it was you, what kind of information do you want to read when you are opening a Google Search tab?

What people commonly want to read on the internet basically about these things:

• Finance
• Clothes
• Food (Culinary)
• Property
• Automotive
• Technology (either gadget or computer stuff)
• etc.

It's always a better idea to focusing you blog into one specific themes or topic which you are mostly interested in. Studying first about the topic you will write is good, knowing that your online audience will come with high criticism and some of them have higher knowledge than you are.

After choosing your main topic for the blog, you might want to do some simple research for the sub-topic which can be listed to article development in your site. For example, if you choose the Technology topic, you should consider to write about some sub-topic such as Computer, Smart-phone, Operating System, and other category which is hot topic around the world recently.

For computer sub-topic, you can choose to write about newest processor released, latest hard drive technology, or maybe some Video Card's driver update. And for Smart-phone sub-topic, you can write a short review about the latest gadget available on the market such as Apple's iPhone 5s or Samsung Galaxy 5. And surely, for Operating System sub-topic, you can write about the most wanted Operating System developed by Google, Android OS. With it's success dominating the use of mobile device's Operating System in the world, it's hundred million users must be hungry of information about it. You also might want to write about some big companies in technology such as Google, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, or some social media companies. Writing some article about Samsung may be a good choice because the Korean giant is aggressively boosting it's reputation now and able to match the famous Apple product. There are millions of Samsung users, and they are your definite audience to be worth targeted. To help you writing your new post on blogger, you can use search engine like Google, and just type what you want to write, you will see tons of reference and material to be choose on.

Well, that's just my own opinion, based on this low-knowledge mind. But I'm sure that there is only two kind of blogger:

1. Self-interest Oriented
2. Audience Oriented

If you are the first kind blogger, you can write anything you like and interested to, and you don't need to worry about who will read your blog. But if you are the second kind of blogger, you should consider of what your audience want to read, not your interest only. By doing this, your blog will drag more visitor from the search engine because of it's relevancy with common interest of most people.

At last, I beg your pardon for my bad English, I'm not so fluent on writing or speaking English, but I really hope you get my point. :D

Blogging Tips: Using Google Translate As An Indonesian-English Dictionary

Utilizing Google Translate As A Useful Tool To Write English Language-Article.

A long time ago before the internet was found, people are using a dictionary books to translate a foreign words. Millions of dictionary books were sold in hundred of languages all around the world.

For example: English to Indonesian dictionary, or in reverse Indonesian to English dictionaries. I've seen so many foreigners (mostly tourist), are traveling in my hometown with this books on their hands, trying to communicate with locals.

It was quite difficult to find just one word inside the book, along with couple thousand of words in it. You must search for the page according to the index letter, than looking for the meaning of it. If finding the meaning for just one word was so difficult, then what about trying to talk in a full foreign language we never heard at all? It must be a hard thing to do.

An example of Indonesian-English dictionary book is the one on the left side picture, it was a very famous dictionary earlier in Indonesia, and had been printed several times because it became best seller at the time. The word "Kamus" means dictionary in Indonesian. It was written by John M. Echols and Hassan Shadily, and was published by PT. Gramedia Jakarta as one of the biggest publishing company in Indonesia. You can still find this one on many books store available in Indonesia. But bringing this kind of books walking around the streets in Indonesia will make you looked like an old-fashioned tourist.

Then after the development of electronic technology, several company start focusing on mobile gadget, there was some electronic devices with special utility as a dictionary which was called "pocket digital dictionary", and it can be installed with more than just one language with the feature of speaking voice of the words. It was a huge development at certain time.

People were no longer need to search page to page in effort to looking for the meaning of a foreign word. They just need to type the word on a physical keyboard, press enter, and the small monitor will show them the meaning of the word and some phrase suggestions containing the word they was looking for. One of them is the digital pocket dictionary made by AlfaLink, which is priced around 200,000,00 Indonesian Rupiah (equal to $18,00).

After that, regarding the leap of mobile telecommunication devices rapid development, many smart-phone with powerful processors can be installed with a dictionary program. Such as Nokia with it's Symbian Operating System, and now we know Android developed by Google are already conquering the world with millions of gadgets using it. Then dictionary book and devices was barely forgotten, with people now can easily download a dictionary application available from the OS Store.

But for us blogger, especially people who write blogs in English language but not speaking English everyday as their primary tongue. We can use the powerful translator provided by Google: Google Translate. Blogging in other language is as easy as writing in our own language now.

Why is Google Translate so powerful? Because they can translate a huge amount of foreign words in count of second. Not just a few of language, but so many language around the world. It can be a very useful tools we can use to translate our article into full English paragraph without translating one by one. It saves your time a lot, and huge thanks to Google, it's totally free.

But if you translate from English to Indonesian, you'll find some minor problem that the translation is not one hundred percent accurate. The grammar is sometimes wrong and not well-stacked, but the spelling is perfect. The punctuation mark is often different from what Indonesian commonly used in the rule of EYD (stands for "Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan", an Indonesian rule of grammar and spelling). There often a space automatically given by Google Translate after a sentence before the dot mark.

Overall it was good, perfect spelling, and it's also very fast. The minor things is just some messy grammar and wrong punctuation mark. You can write a whole article in any language in just no time. A five star Google free service for the world.

Blogging Tips: Amount Of Words In A Good Article

How Many Words Should Be Contained In An Article To Be Considered As A Good One?

When you start to write an article for your blog, you must be wondering of how much words it takes to be a good one. Although there is no specific research done to analyze this, some information that I have found on internet shows me that a considered good article should contains at least more than 400 (four hundred) words in it.

In a webmaster's forum I recently visited has brought out various amount of words that needed based on each personal opinion, starting from 500 (five hundred) to 900 (nine hundred) words as they say. But most of them agreed that an article should be not less than 400 words or else it won't be containing sufficient words needed to be at least an enjoyable writing to read.

Well, if you want your blog to be search engine-friendly, you must notice this rules and apply it so that your writings can be a good reference for the visitor who is looking for some information on the internet.

For me myself, I'll take the suggestion which says my article should be containing not less than 400 words each, and I will strictly apply these rule every time I start to write a new one. Basically if I don't want my content to be looking good for some search engine out there, I will write minimum 500 syllable on it. That's an ultimate border, never less than that and 600 words is at the high end of what my readers are going to make time for. I don't want my article not approved because the content were not précised.

So the conclusion of my own research on the internet is every article written in blogs, sites, or anywhere else should has the range of 500-600 words contained in it to be considered as a good one. That is the ideal range that will make your blog gives a better reading experience for it's visitors.

After you wrote your whole column, take a short time to do a simple spelling and grammar check using free online spell checker available on the web. For example using JSpell, an online spell checker for public and it's totally free to use. I included the link so it saves your time rather than opening a new tab to search for it.

Checking the spelling and grammar in your article is also important, so it's not just only about the amount of words contained. A badly written paragraph is not doing any good for your blog, as your visitor may leave your site immediately. Mistakes such as miss-typo also bad for search engine because you will loose some important keyword indexed by their spiders.

Doing this things might seems to be a little time-wasting, but trust me, it's worth it. When you expecting visitors to come back again next time or even better: giving you a back-link, make sure you gave them a good experience while reading your blog. So I am highly recommending for you using this useful tips on your blogging method.

Just remember this three simple guide for your blogging way:

1. Original content
2. Effective writing
3. High quality blog

Hope it works, good luck!
