User driven China content
2007-07-25 20:52:00
User driven (China ) content obviously is a blessing for any SEM/SEO pro. But sometimes it is more than that. Sometimes somebody posts nothing less than a pure gem. Like Colin Friedman of China Expert International Ltd. (a member of the British Chamber of Commerce in China) did on http://www.chinasuccessstories.com/2007/0 7/18/business-and-travel-etiquette-in-chi na.

Bidding war for www.chinese.com
2007-07-24 10:57:00
Now here's a domain name I would love to have had: http://www.chinese.com/. Apparently I'm not the only one. Somebody (a company in Hong Kong) just paid 1.1 million dollars for it. A considerable amount of money? That depends on your point of view. After all it's only a tenth of cent per Chinese …Please check my China business site out on http://www.chinasuccessstories.com

Best read Blog in the world is Chinese!
2007-07-22 14:16:00
A surprise to me in a way, because it seems China is outperforming already on Internet as well. Best read Blog in the world is Chinese ! According to TheGuardian the blog of Chinese actrice and director Xu Jinglei is visited over 100 (!) million (!) times. If you read Chinese, check it out: http://blog.sina.com.cn/xujinglei (I have no clue what it is about, so feel free to let me know what it is she writes about!)Meanwhile I'm hosting the worst visited blog in the world (it has only been a week, ok?). So I added some widgets today. Please use the del.icio.us one and of course the one provided by Feedburner, which will keep you updated on my Chine Business ventures (for free).

China Business?
2007-07-22 00:35:00
Just starting this China Business supporting blog it seems quite silly to ask the visitors (10 a day ;-) what to do. With that being said, why not go out on a limb. Here's the question. Remember: I am the one who changed Twitter overnight (see previous post, with http://twitter.com/FishinChina/statuses/1 59544332), and the same guy that develops lighting speed according to Alexa with http://www.chinasuccessstories.com/. You know: that modest dude.Question is: should I put my time, effort and money into making this world a better place, before or after making some (pocket change) money? Think Bill Gates on this one. If I want to help improve the lives of many, Chinese, African, Brazilian, should I sacrifice all I have right now – which is about 0,001% of what Bill has – or should I push forward doing what I love doing (fishing, doing business & thinking of China) to make sure I actually have something to spend by the time payback is due. You decide. If you happen to be Chines...

China friend finder?
2007-07-19 20:48:00
Back in the day 'how to win friends and influence people' was a breakthrough bestseller. A great book. I read it: you should read it too. 'Winning friends' as an art. Or at least as a technique. BUT a sincere one. Not as a gimmick or trick.Fast forward a few decades, and you discover the teachings of Dale Carnegie still make a lot of sense. One big difference though is that the term 'friend' is not what it used to be. And I'm to blame for that too. Why? Because I like to meet interesting China oriented business men and women, or other sorts of China entrepreneurs, I have this Twitter account (http://twitter.com/fishinchina). And I like to meet people. Or see what it is they are up to. But whenever I want to stay updated on somebody's thoughts on China or their whereabouts in China, and I click 'Add', they all of the sudden are 'friends'.Don't get me wrong. I love having friends. As many as possible. Probably that is why I actually do have some friends. Five or six. Real...

Angelina Jolie and me (Brad Pitt)
2007-07-12 11:41:00
Angelina Jolie and China? What is up with that? Always busy scrubbing the web, I (the Brad Pitt of China Success Stories ;-), visited http://www.chinalyst.net/ – which is a decent China Blog portal – when my eyes were drawn to their "All-time Popular Content" section. Best read post? -> Angelina Jolie Shows Off Her Tattoos (19377). Also in top five: China says Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a good match for adoptive parents (5762).Mind you Chinalyst is a community for English blogging related to China and Chinese Culture.First post is about Angelina Jolie's tattoos, that are somewhat Chinese (Cambodian actually). Second post is related to Pitt and Jolie's wish to adopt a Vietnamese baby. The articles origin from…http://www.panasianbiz.com/2006/12 /angelina_jolie_shows_off_her_t.htmlhttp: //www.panasianbiz.com/2006/12/china_says_ angelina_jolie_and.htmlNote the first line? "Shows off her t…" Perhaps that explains the high volume of traffic on this Jolie post?Anyway, I'm ...
