No link to video do you want to re post

I embedded it :S

Here is a link just incase its not showing up.

With my registered Thai company we do many things web & IT related, with one of our sites is we do SEO Thailand (see what i did there). We're also a Google AdWords certified partner company. We only take one client per industry and we have clients from the most competitive industries here (cosmetic surgery & hotel bangkok). Here is my advice.

The way Google's algorithm works is quite logical, but it is smart and is always being updated. Site A has better, more relevant content than Site B, Site A also has more relevant incoming links for said content than Site B, hence Site A ranks higher than Site B.

Be wary of any online SEO companies from India as the often build poor quality incoming links and use somewhat blackhat SEO (for more information i could link you to a blog post, pm me). Also without the proper knowledge, hiring someone local to scale the web to build links back without any database to work from and no one with experience monitoring the work, it will not bring the right authority back into your website. Some of the advice mentioned above is quite good, have unique content that is well written and helpful to the reader makes a big difference.

From my research of the work from local Thai SEO companies they usually do a two things,

• 1. No SEO at all and just pay-per-click advertising. This has happened many times when i've gone to a meeting and the company said they had been doing SEO for a year but there is no evidence of any links being build back.
• 2. Build authority back to your website by getting links to your website from their database of sites (they usually own) and then when the contract ends and you do not continue, they will remove all the links from their database of sites. One of my clients, their Thai site has 1000's of links from all these .info websites, which are just default wordpress blogs setup by this Thai SEO company, which is really useless since these 1000 websites have no authority themselves.

Ask your potential SEO companies or freelancers for a keyword report for the phrase and exact match, this will let you know how many searches per month those keywords are getting. For english keywords in Thailand, in most industries it is not too hard to get them ranking high as english is not the native language here and local SEO is pathetic. Find out what they're going to be doing and ask for detailed work reports.

It's suppose to clean up all the wires on your desk by having your monitor act as a hub. I'm very keen to buy this, anyone see anything like this before?

Hotmail sucks, and they probably still attach advertisements to the footer of your emails

We almost had an accident the other weekend when a Van speeding crossed into our lane when there was a car in his lane!

He got the deals from Jetstar, i found something on http://www.ana.co.jp/wws/th/e/local/fare/#bkk-jpn Bangkok to Japan for 11,500 which is quite good. It might be getting to cold for a trip there right now.

I am planning for January to do a small circle something like Vietnam, Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai then back to Bangkok. Any suggestions for this? Any budget airlines for Hong Kong, Taiwan etc. Are there any decent travel agents around that can do some good round trips like this?

Hi All,

Recently my cousin in Australia managed to get some tickets to Japan from Brisbane for 495 AUD about 13,000 THB. I was wondering if there is any places or methods on how to find cheap airfares while in Thailand?

I don't mind the date / where I travel too as long as the airfare is a great price.

I've used Air Asia a lot for travel to most SEA countries but there are a lot of places they don't fly to. Are there any budget airlines that fly Bangkok to Seoul or Tokyo?

People complaining about people who download stuff using bit torrent are being ridiculous. I pay every month for my 2mbit/s, If I want to use it downloading torrents, then so be it.

the future is comming to thailand... but... if the big bottleneck is still access to international sites, than it is pretty.... USELESS

100 mbit in thailand, 0.5 to the next of the world

You are a little bit unfair.

With TRUE, in Bangkok, if you pay for 4 MB, you have 4 with USA. If you pay for 6, you have 6 with USA. speakeasy.net is impartial.

That's not right at all.

Will the BTS be closed?

Is it ok to go to Siam Square tonight, 8:30pm?

Hi,

We're looking for a full time website developer to work out of our Haui Kwang office.

The job involves coding websites to work on Drupal or Wordpress CMS, and being able to develop custom website functionality. Being able to do the graphic design would also be beneficial not necessary.

Job available for Thai or Foreigner

Salary to be negotiated.

Looks like a scam site/scammer I also contacted this add and got an auto reply telling me to go to this site.

Stay away..

The pictures may be recoverable

Hey, thinking about buying this and getting my xbox on live, what's it like playing from Bangkok? Are there many games available?

I'm worried I will buy all the stuff and then there will be no decent pinged games available.

What's it like playing with Malaysians/Singapore ect?

Garyh is right, if you unplug the drives and install Win7 on F:, it would then become a C: drive and when you try to plug the windows xp drive back in there with the old F: drive there would be a problem as the boot manager doesn't know which drive to boot from, or that there are to options.

Install on drive F: should create a dual boot setup, your best option if you want to switch between the OS's with out having unplug and plug back in.

I am planning a holiday there in December with my Thai girlfriend :< scary stuff.

I will be moving to Ratchada soon, soi 20. I would like to know what Maxnet users experiences are like in the area, there is a good promotion for this particular condo I will be living in.

My general thinking is Maxnet is probably not a very good ISP, and I will get slow speeds because of there cheap prices ect. I do know they offer 10mbit, but what is the speed outside of Thailand... I would be looking at there 4mbit plan.

I will probably just stick to my TOT internet / phone package.

I have not read through all the posts but the most basic reason for why internet is slow in Thailand is because most of the local exchanges that everyone connects to are probably outdated and have to many users.

An exchange is where everyone in each region in a 15km or more radius connects to. There are alot of telephone exchanges everywhere, some are better than others, and some have less users than others, therefore there is more bandwidth.

There is a reason why certain times and on the weekends the internet is slow, to many users, not enough bandwidth.

Watched the trailer for this on youtube the other night, it looks really good, cant wait to see it.

What a ridiculous story. Who honestly cares, the fact university students are made to wear uniforms is a joke in the first place. They're meant to be young adults discovering themselves, for fuc_k sake let them discover and do something about your massive traffic problem, the rampant dumbing of trash and the polluting of water ways... Its gonna benefit a lot more than stopping a few politicians from getting hard ons and upsetting their wives...

Exactly what I was thinking, why do they even have to wear a uniform. Nearly every girl I see in a university uniform has a really short skirt, whats wrong with that.. I think they are old enough to decide what they want to wear.

Sounds like an awesome project, i'd love to get another HDD in my macbook, but I think for now I still need my DVD drive.

Hi webfact and ianwuk !

Thank you so much for taking the trouble helping me out with your knowledge.

webfact : you been double correct with both leading me to SPYHUNTER program which found 252 Trojan infected files (ZLOB. Trojan and ZLOB.VideoAcess) in my registry!!! and with system restore. In the end I had to restore my system 14 days back, because of my own lazyness to do more often Rollback snapshots.

Rollback is an exellent program for restoring your computer to your snapshots, I just have to set them automaticly every like 2 or 3 days.

Spyhunter seems to be also exellent in finding malware but they make you pay for removal of the problems.

The reason I did not choose the spyhunter route was that they wanted me to register and pay as well. It would have been 29 USD and probably a lot of problems and time consuming as well with internet payment. It was in this case just not worth the trouble for me.

Ianwuk gave us the link to "malwarebites" wich found only 1 virus, no ZLOB's.

I hope some of the readers got useful info at this thread, and want to thank webfact and ianwuk again.

Alot of those anti-virus scanners that do a free scan but require you to pay to remove are garbage so stay away from those. They do no provide accurate results and most are a scam. I recommend Malwarebytes with cdnvic list of AV's

LCD's are very expensive and if the computer is not new, sometimes it is better to just scrap it and buy another.

If you pm me the model's serial number I can check from my supplier how much it is to buy just a replacement screen.

My business does this sort of thing from time to time, we charge around 3-4k baht.

You could try sending out of Maxnets SMTP server: smtp.tttmaxnet.com

Some ISP's prevent you from using other SMTP servers, I don't know if this is the case or not, maybe a new policy or just a technical error on your part :S
