how to get into malaysiakini?

you know, there is a column on the right under ‘m’kini in blogs’ – several blogs will appear there now and then.

how does the blogs get to appear there? i was told that if the blog mentioned the word Malaysiakini or link malaysiakini, then it would appear there.well, not to me. i linked malaysiakini several times yet nothing happened.  or has it anything to do with how it is link? like with the main website only (with its name or not necessary with its name – like this). or with the news/letter site? or do i have to write malaysiakini name or the title (e.g. ‘chua has been punished enough‘) of the news/letter name? (here, this paragraph, i’m trying to link it several ways… but i have a feeling that it doesn’t matter as long as the link is there).

then ktemoc, who seems to get in there so many times, told me that i have to publish my blog during malaysiakini’s office hours, only then, it can pick up my blog. ayoh! like this susah for me since of course i can’t blog during office hours. (today is an exception since i’m on leave). i did try a few times publish during normal working office hours but yet my blog can’t appear in malaysiakini. (btw, i wonder how long a blog that appears in stays there).

then i realise that it has something to do with search engine. in that case, i guess i’m doomed. haha. i mean doomed not to appear in because i know my blog is not a popular blog which rarely appears in search engine. well i’m also no techie expert who knows how to optimise my blogs to let it appear in search engine. one thing i realise that blogger blogs (under google!) appears often in malaysiakini than wordpress blogs.

oh well…. if i can’t appear in malaysiakini… doesn’t matter, as it is not a matter of life and death that i need the traffic/promo/publicity from malaysiakini!
