Good News for Indonesian Adsenser, Western Union Quick Cash

SetyaPutra.Org — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:59:00 +0000

This morning i have received email from Google AdSense announce that Western Union Quick Cash is now accepted as a new payment method for Indonesia. Western Union Quick Cash is a payment method that lets you receive your payments from abroad in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. Google AdSense said that this payment method is quick, easy, and free. Best of all, you’ll no longer need to wait for checks to arrive in the mail or to clear at the bank.

Some things to note about this method :

Payments by Western Union follow Google AdSense normal payment schedule and will be available for pickup at your local Western Union agent the day after they are issued.
Payments by Western Union are currently only available to individual payee names and not to businesses.
Payments must be picked up within 60 days of issuance or they will expire. If this happens, a payment hold will be placed on your AdSense account and the payment will be credited back to your account.
Payments will be made in US dollars, but depending on your local Western Union agent, they may be picked up in your local currency.

To sign up for this new payment method, please follow these instructions. When signing up, if you do not have a last name, surname, or family name, please leave the ‘Payee Last Name/Surname/Family Name’ field blank. Once you’ve signed up for the Western Union Quick Cash payment method, you can learn more about how to pick up your Western Union payment.

If you’d like more information about this payment method, we recommend visiting Google AdSense Help Center .

I hope above information will help you to withdraw Google Adsense money with fast, easy and the best thing is free.

How to Choose The Best Commercial Web Hosting Service

SetyaPutra.Org — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 15:52:13 +0000

I know that many articles about this case which contains a guide how to choose the best web hosting services in the Internet.

In this article, I try to use a different approach for those who want to get the best web hosting services with a variety of perspectives that is rarely thought.

All my explanations below are for commercial web hosting services, so not suitable for those of you who want to find a free web hosting services, although there are some criteria that you can use to find free web hosting services.

I used to believe in the concept : “a hosting company that had been in the business for years is the best web hosting”, but things have changed. As I recall, nearly forty percent of all hosting companies out of business during the past year. If you are one of the customers of the hosting company that went out of business, you already have your own horror story to tell.

And these are the criteria of good web hosting service :

1. The reliability and speed of access

Not only the host network must be reliable and fast to ensure uptime. In fact, even 99% uptime is too low – it really should be 99.5% or higher. The host should provide some form of restitution (for example, the apportionment of the refund or discount) if it falls below that figure. However, that the guarantees are often difficult to apply to an end – the host usually requires all sorts of documentation. But without such a guarantee, the network host will have little incentive to ensure that their servers are running all the time. So how do you know if a hosting company is reliable or not? By word of mouth or feedback from others! If that’s not possible then you can yourself try accessing your site during peak hours and non-peak hours too so you can assess how well the speed of your hosting company is.

2. Amount of web space

The provider of web hosting services usually assign a certain amount of space on your server. You need to ensure that there is plenty of space for your site and business requirements. You can expand your online business tomorrow and would require much more space. It is therefore imperative that the web hosting company should be able to give enough space for your site, especially if it is rich in graphics or video clips. Most sites require less than 10 MB of web space, so even if they have a host that offers you with 200 MB or 500 MB (or “unlimited space”), be aware that you will not use all of these 500 MB, so it’s not wise to use the 500 MB of space as a big factor when compared with other hosting companies. The hosting company is also aware of that, which is why they feel free to offer you that as a means of enticing you to host there. For example, cybersplash.net, which has dozens of pages so far, used less than 50 MB to related pages and files.

3. Data transfer (Bandwidth)

Data transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as “traffic” or “bandwidth”) is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. You also need to see if the hosting company provides you with sufficient bandwidth for efficient data transfer. You also need to see if the hosting company provides you with sufficient bandwidth for efficient data transfer. Moreover, it is your website and you must ensure that you get the best for the money you invest. Budget hosts almost always used to be slow and overloaded, and many still are, but with bandwidth costs as low as they are today large server farms located in managed data centers are now a very reasonable alternative, especially if you host multiple domains or require less support.

4. FTP access

FTP access is very important because it offers the possibility to load new pages. Some web hosting services only provide web builder to design your own personal page. This is useful for beginners, but it will be difficult to use when your site requires further development.

5. PHP, Perl CGI-BIN access, SSI, .htaccess, crontabs

Please note that some commercial hosts do not allow you to install PHP or CGI scripts including crontab without their approval. This must be avoided because it means you have to wait for them to implement the features on your site. This means you will lose a lot of time. While .htaccess is needed if you want to Customize error page or to protect or redirect your site in a different way. Cronjob may be required for applications that need to be run periodically. Check to see if all of these facility is provided.

6. Server OS

If you want to run ASP language then choose the server with the Windows operating system. Do not use the Linux operating system to run ASP even linux also provides aspx. Why? Because Linux is not used to run the ASP. But if you do not need ASP so the operating system that you must select is Linux.

7. Technical support

Does the web hosting service providers provides you 24×7 support ? Will they be able to respond quickly to your problem ? That is the question you should ask to find the answer directly to the web hosting service provider. Test them via email in the middle of the night and on Saturday night, Sunday morning, etc. Check out how long they take to respond to your email. In addition to speed responses, check to see if they are technically competent. You do not want to sign up to host that run by a bunch of salesmen who only know how to sell and not fix a problem.

8. Pricing plans

I note that although the price is always a crucial factor, you should realize that they often get what you pay for, but is not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. You should compare prices and services before you choose one.

9. Monthly / quarterly / annual payment plans

Most of the Web host allows you to select the annual payment plan that provides a cheaper rate than if you pay monthly. My personal advice is to pay monthly with all new web hosts until you are sure their reliability and honesty. The advantages of paying monthly is allowing you to switch a web host quickly when you find that the current web hosting company does not meet your requirements, so you do not bound to bad web host because you have prepaid for a year.

10. My Recomendation

If you want a web hosting service from the company that can be trusted, use CyberSplash.net. Affordable prices offered with a variety of features and services that support the rapid support through helpdesk, phone, email, messenger and SMS, CyberSplash.net is the best choice for your hosting needs.

Reaksi Balmon membawa berkah TOP TV

SetyaPutra.Org — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:45:10 +0000

Sudah hampir 2 bulan ini di beberapa kota di Jawa Timur, terutama Blitar dan Malang tidak bisa menerima relay siaran televisi dari beberapa stasiun televisi nasional dan lokal. Gara-garanya adalah adanya sweeping dari pihak Balai Monitoring terhadap penggunaan frekuensi yang tidak memiliki ijin dan uji kelayakan. Hal ini ditanggapi beragam oleh masyarakat di 2 kota tersebut, bahkan komentar bernada emosional juga dilontarkan oleh tokoh-tokoh masyarakat karena ini dianggap sebagai pembredelan informasi. Memang peran TV nasional maupun lokal sangat penting dalam rangka memberikan informasi untuk kepentingan masyarakat, tetapi menurut saya lebih penting lagi memenuhi aturan dan undang-undang yang berlaku karena negara ini didasarkan pada hukum.

Apapun alasannya ya harus mengurus ijin dulu. Coba kalau misalnya properti anda, misalnya mobil anda, dipakai orang tanpa ijin meskipun ini mengatasnamakan kepentingan orang banyak (bisa jadi untuk mengantar orang sakit), apakah anda tidak marah dan bahkan memperkarakan ke polisi ? Contoh lagi, banyak PKL yang digusur kesana-kemari karena juga tidak punya hak/ijin pakai tempat disitu padahal ini juga kan untuk kepentingan masyarakat banyak dia jualan disitu ? Kenapa digusur ? karena tidak memenuhi aturan dan undang-undang yang berlaku.

BTW (katanya sih singkatan dari By The Way), ada juga yang mendapatkan berkah. Salah satunya adalah TOP TV, dan saya termasuk yang ikut menggunakan akhir desember 2008 kemarin. Saya pesan melalui nomor nasional di Jakarta tanggal 31 Desember dan tanggal 2 Januari 2009 sudah dipasang dan langsung on semua televisi nasional plus televisi hiburan lainnya. Saat pemasangan, teknisi dari Kediri menjelaskan kalau akhir-akhir ini lagi banyak order pemasangan TOP TV sehingga sejak order sampai pemasangan menunggu penjadwalan. Ini juga karena banyaknya televisi yang sudah tidak muncul di berbagai daerah di Jatim.

12 Parameters whether the blog is successful or not

SetyaPutra.Org — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 02:16:52 +0000

I’ve found interesting article about how to build a success blog and become success blogger from here. These days, more and more Indonesian blogger labeled as irresponsible blogger because the use of anonymity for their identity. This is because of their blogs contains just gossip or slander to others. But in my opinion, they are scum bloggers and not a blogger in general.

Fatih Syuhud wrote on his blog : ” There are times when clear identity is not obligatorily required, and anonymity is forgiven and understood by the readers. But there are times where clear identity is a must and anonymity is a waste of time.”

In this post I’m trying to classify which can be used to determine whether the blog is successful or not :

1. True Identity

There are many instances where scientific writings/bloggings will automatically earn you credibility and honour you deserve. So, if the blogger concerned hiding his/her face under the sun, credibility is simply not there. You will not get loyal visitors when you hide your identity. If you run a business through blogs, you will not be trusted by your visistor or your customer unless you use the true identity.

2. Traffic

The number of visitors can become one of the parameters of the success of a blog. The more visitors on a blog, the more successful the blog. Traffic is usually distinguished itself again into 2 parameters :

Unique Visitors: blog visitors come from 1 certain IP address
Page Views: the total number of pages viewed by blog visitors

From the above ratios will usually be more easily see the quality of blog visitors. A blog called success, usually have a unique visitors and page views that high.

3. RSS Subscriber

In addition to the number of visitors, number of RSS subscribers also can be the parameters of a successful blog. Similarly, with traffic: the more number of RSS subscribers on a blog, the more successful is a blog. Although not enough used by many bloggers, but currently there are more blogs that install chicklet feed counter from FeedBurner. This means, many more bloggers who understand the function about RSS receive as one measure of the success of a blog.

4. Comments

Other parameters that can be the size of a successful blog is the number of comments. The formula is the same: the more comments on a blog, the more successful the blog. In addition to the number of comments, the quality of the comments also usually be a measure of success. It is often found blog with comments spamming or just want to get a backlink. By providing quality criteria comments, the quality of a blog’s success will be much higher.

5. SERP

SERP or search engine result pages also often become a parameter of success blog. The higher ranking in a search results page of search engine (for example, position 1 on the first page), the more successful is the blog.

6. Link Back

Although not too obvious, the number of links that lead back to a blog can also be used as one of the parameters of blog success or not. Blog with hundreds or even thousands link back be considered a success compared with the blogs that have only dozens of links back. In addition to drain the visitors, the number of links back also believed that large positions can improve the search results on search engines.

7. Ranking of the blog

The next parameter is often referred to measure a “Blog Ranking” like from Technorati and Alexa Rank. Technorati has a list of “Top 100 Blog” that is respected, where Blogger listed there often called as A-List blogger. Alexa Rank is a ranking system based on traffic where the lower of the Alexa Rank for a blog, the higher traffic receive by the blog.

8. Awards

Currently, more and more blog contest that gives awards to blogs and bloggers who are considered to meet certain criteria based on a particular category. Some awards can be considered to represent the quality of blog and blogger who become winners.

9. Fame

One of the parameters of success for a blog is a fame for a blog or bogger itself. This fame can come from the unique profile that are owned by the blogger, Buzz words that he/she made it through his/her blogs. Based on these parameter, a popular blog, although not have one customer RSS, it can be said that he/she have success blog.

10. Page Rank

Google Page Rank is a ranking system created by Google for referring to the popularity of a blog or blog page. In the 1-10 scale, the higher the number the Google PR (for example PR 8), the higher the ranking. Although many bloggers are not too concerned with the value of PR, must be recognized that a high Google PR is a measure of success.

11. Twitter Follower

As you can see at my blog, i am also using twitter widget. One of the parameters that can be used to measure the success of a blog is the number of Twitter Followers. The formula is the same with the RSS subscribers, the more number of Twitter Followers in a blog, the more successful is a blog.

12. Money

The last parameter can be used to assess the success or not for a blog (and bloggers) is the money earned from blogging activity. The more money produced by a blog (and blogger), the more successful is a blog. Although many bloggers who think that money is not the main purpose of blogging activity, but must also accepted that generate money through blogs is not something that illegal. If done in a way that is correct and ethical, generate money through the blog can even be a prospective business opportunities, legitimate and legal.

That is the 12 parameters which can be used to determine whether the blog is successful or not. So what do you think about that ?

Happy Mother’s Day

SetyaPutra.Org — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:27:53 +0000

Mother’s day (Dec, 22) is a special moment for everyone because in this day we use to honor our mother all over Indonesia. In this day, i want to give poems to all mother in Indonesia specially to my mom :

Mother is :

The kindest face I’ll ever see,

The kindest voice i’ll ever hear,

The one who cares the most for me,

We must honor all those mothers because :

She was there at the beginning,

She was there to turn to happy times,

She was there to listent to your thought,

She was there at morning time,

She was there at night time when you had a dream that scares,

She was there where you were hungry,

She was there when you needed her,

So, she was there at the beginning, just like a mother is supposed to do.

A Mother’s love, is sure to find
A way to comfort, ease your mind
She knows just how, to build you up
When you’re so down, and can’t look up

You love the way, she makes you feel
Like you’re so special, her ideal
Her thought must start, with God above
To bring such caring, with such love

And as it flows, like gentle rain
It surely helps, when troubles pain
The love from mine, is oh so clear
I only wish, she was still here

Her warming glow, is missed each day
Even though, I seldom say
But she did leave, her gift behind
To help me through, when I may pine

And that’s the feel, known deep inside
Her faith and love, I still confide
So, if you are a lucky one whose Mom is still with you, tell her everyday you love her.
For, that’s the least that you can do.

(Poems summarize from Mother’s Day Poems)

Sistem Devisa Bebas vs Sistem Devisa Terkendali

SetyaPutra.Org — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:25:28 +0000

Beberapa hari lalu, ada pertanyaan mahasiswa saya yang tertarik mengenai apa itu sistem devisa bebas dan terkendali dan apa saja kelebihan dan kekurangannya. Karena bidang keahlian saya di akuntansi dan sistem informasi, saya bukan ahli moneter maupun ekonomi makro maka saya mencoba melakukan “sedikit” riset mengenai hal ini. Dan inilah pemahaman yang saya dapatkan selama saya adakan riset kecil. Jika ada yang salah atau tidak sepaham, tolong berikan pencerahan di area komentar.

Sistem Devisa Bebas
Sistem ini merupakan sistem devisa yang dianut oleh Indonesia (a.k.a Bank Indonesia dan Pemerintah) sebagaimana diatur dalam UU 24/1999 tentang Lalu Lintas Devisa. Sistem devisa bebas adalah suatu sistem lalu lintas devisa dimana siapapun bisa memiliki dan bebas menggunakan devisa. Dengan demikian maka terjadilah fungsi permintaan dan penawaran pasar. Nilai tukar mata uang asing akan dipengaruhi oleh banyaknya permintaan dan penawaran di pasar, meskipun ada juga pengaruh dari suku bungan bank sentral, tingkat inflasi, maupun kebijakan fiskal pemerintah. Tetapi pada dasarnya lebih tergantung dari jumlah permintaan dan penawaran di pasar.

Kelebihan dari sistem devisa bebas ini, menurut pemahaman saya, akan menunjukkan sisi kekuatan fundamental ekonomi nasional secara nyata karena nilai investasi yang masuk serta capital yang dibawa keluar Indonesia akan memiliki nilai ekonomis yang nyata dengan fundamental ekonomi dunia. Kalau diingat krisis moneter di akhir era tahun 90 an (sekitar tahun 96 s/d 99), nilai dolar yang awalnya bernilai 2 ribu – 3 ribuan melonjak sampai 16 ribuan. Ini karena nilai pasar sesungguhnya nilai rupiah adalah diatas 10 ribuan per dolar Amerika. Sehingga dengan sistem devisa bebas ini maka nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar diharapkan merupakan nilai sesungguhnya. Selain itu bisa memberikan kepastian bagi investor untuk membuat keputusan investasi di Indonesia, apakah harus membawa capital ke Indonesia atau menempatkan di negara lain.

Kelemahannya adalah, ini masih menurut saya, cadangan devisa Indonesia bisa semakin lama semakin tergerus apabila nilai rupiah terus berfluktuasi diatas nilai psikologis (nilai yang dianggap nyata bagi rupiah dan dolar) karena adanya faktor spekulasi dari para spekulan. Menurut Gubernur BI, Boediono, posisi cadangan devisa pada akhir Oktober 2008 sekitar US$ 50,4 miliar. Angka tersebut melorot jauh dari posisi pada akhir September sekitar 57 miliar dolar AS yang disebabkan intervensi yang dilakukan BI untuk menjaga nilai tukar rupiah. Padahal banyak ekonom menyebutkan nilai minimal cadangan devisa adalah diantara US$ 30-36 miliar. Jadi bisa dibayangkan apabila BI selalu melakukan intervensi ke pasar terus menerus apabila nilai rupiah terus anjlok sampai tahun depan, maka bisa dipastikan akan mengurangi jumlah cadangan devisa. Sudah menjadi rahasia umum bahwa sejak Indonesia menganut sistem devisa bebas maka banyak orang berlomba-lomba menjadi spekulan untuk memperoleh gain antara harga beli dolar saat dia beli dengan harga jual dolar saat ini jika mengalami kenaikan. Jika selisih besar maka nilai rupiah akan semakin terpuruk karena banyak spekulan yang memilih membeli dolar. Meskipun faktor hutang LN yang jatuh tempo juga bisa menjadi faktornya tetapi menurut BI kebanyakan adalah karena faktor spekulan. Oleh karena itu baru-baru ini BI mengeluarkan aturan underlying transactions (aturan dengan meminta pelaku transaksi menyertakan NPWP serta alasan yang jelas penggunaan valas) untuk pembelian valas minimal ekuivalen 100.000 dolar AS.

Sistem Devisa Terkendali
Sistem ini merupakan sistem devisa yang mengendalikan lalu lintas devisa dengan mengenakan batasan waktu bagi dana asing yang baru masuk, sehingga bisa parkir di dalam negeri dalam jangka waktu tertentu, misalnya enam bulan sampai satu tahun. Dengan demikian, pemerintah dan BI memiliki kendali atas dana asing yang bersifat spekulatif, yang tidak jelas tujuan masuknya ke pasar domestik. Selain itu bisa saja pemerintah dan BI melakukan pengendalian dengan cara menetapkan nilai tukar rupiah terhadap mata uang asing secara berkala, seperti dulu jaman Soeharto.

Kelebihannya, menurut pemahaman saya, memberikan peluang bagi sektor riil yang menggunakan bahan baku atau peralatan dari luar negeri untuk merencanakan aktivitas usaha dengan baik. Selain itu bisa mencegah eksportir untuk memarkir dananya di luar negeri dan tetap menaham dananya di dalam negeri. Dan yang penting adalah bisa menekan faktor spekulatif para spekulan karena bila selisih nilai tukar antara jual dan beli ditentukan berkisar antara 100-300 poin maka aktivitas spekulatif bisa ditekan/dihindari karena tidak menarik lagi dalam sisi pengambilan gain.

Kelemahannya, menurut saya, adalah sesuai dengan pengalaman krisis moneter 10 tahun lalu, nilai tukar tidak mencerminkan nilai riil dari mata uang rupiah sehingga saat Indonesia terkena krisis moneter maka mata uang kita akan terjun bebas. Kalau sudah begini semua sektor akan terkena imbasnya, mulai sektor keuangan sampai sektor riil dan akan butuh waktu lama untuk sembuh.

Situs Dephut dipalsukan ?

SetyaPutra.Org — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:02:33 +0000

2 hari belakangan ini ramai dibicarakan mengenai situs dephut yang menurut beberapa media dipalsukan. Hal ini juga disiarkan melalui siaran pers Departemen Kehutanan yang menyebutkan bahwa situs www.dephut.com bukan milik Departemen Kehutanan karena situs resmi ada di alamat http://www.dephut.go.id. Mengherankan memang bagaimana hal ini bisa menjadi bahan yang ramai dibicarakan, apalagi banyak media cetak maupun elektronik membahas dengan gencar 2 hari belakangan.

Mengherankan karena ada beberapa fakta yang sebenarnya menggelitik saya untuk melakukan “investigasi” seperti yang biasa dilakukan Pakar Telematika :

Mencari data di whois dan ditemukan data bahwa domain didaftarkan di nameking.com sejak 13 November 2003 :

Registration Provided By:    NAMEKING INC.
Creation Date:               11/13/03
Expiration Date:             11/13/08
Domain Status:               ACTIVE
Registrant
------------------------------------------------------------
Name:                        Admin -
Organization:                OS Domain Holdings III, LLC
Email:                       admin@overseedomainmanagement.com
Address:                     c/o Oversee Domain Management, LLC
                             515 S. Flower Street, Suite 4400
City, Province, Post Code:   Los Angeles, California, 90071
Country:                     US
Phone:                       1.2132653191

Saya coba gali lebih dalam, ternyata ada 1 blog yang menyebut dephut.com sebagai “seolah-olah” website miliknya : http://kosasieh.tripod.com/id11.html , coba baca kalimatnya :

jadi, aku akan banyak menyinggung masalah hutan terutama masalah konservasi(karena gw emang ambil jurusan ini). kehutanan merupakan suatu study terapan yang amat kompeks, bisa di bayangkan bahwa luas hutan di indonesia kian hari kian berkurang karena erbagai masalah yang amat kompleks pula. Jadi saya mengajak kepada pembaca untuk merenungi masalah kehutanan yang kompleks itu. untuk mengetahui berbagai masalah yang muncul dapat diperoleh di situs www.dephut.com

Apakah domain dephut.com dulunya dia yang melakukan registrasi ? Entahlah, tapi yang pasti dari data tentang dia, tahun 2003 dia adalah mahasiswa kehutanan di UGM, tahun dimana domain dephut.com didaftarkan.

Apakah dulu memang dephut.com didaftarkan untuk Departemen Kehutanan kemudian tidak dipakai lagi karena sudah berganti menjadi dephut.go.id ? Atau apakah “dia” yang saya duga diatas yang melakukan registrasi domain untuk memberikan informasi mengenai kehutanan seperti yang dia jelaskan ?

Dari fakta diatas maka saya menyimpulkan bahwa domain dephut.com dulunya memang didaftarkan oleh “seseorang” tahun 2003 dan saat ini tidak diperpanjang. Karena tidak diperpanjang maka biasanya domain yang sudah memiliki kedudukan di search engine yang bagus akan diregistrasi oleh pihak lain atau bahkan oleh unit usaha registrar itu sendiri (dalam hal ini nameking.com). Ini sudah “jamak terjadi dan sudah sering saya alami.

Diatas saya sebut mengherankan, karena kenapa baru disebut akhir-akhir ini padahal domain ini sudah berkibar sejak 2003. Apalagi saat ini, informasi yang diberikan hanya berbentuk informasi pencarian dari http://searchportal.information.com/ yang hasilnya tidak berhubungan dengan DepHut, jadi untuk apa bersikap seperti kecolongan/kebakaran hutan ? Toh di situs itu tidak ada yang menyebutkan bahwa ini adalah situs dephut meskipun beberapa judulnya menyebutkan ilegal logging maupun lowongan cpns dephut yang kalau di klik maka hasilnya ke halaman lain hasil pencarian yang “sekali lagi” isinya tidak berhubungan dengan departemen kehutanan ?

Jadi kesimpulan akhir saya, situs dephut tidak dipalsukan seperti situs klikbca.com yang dulu pernah dipalsukan dengan kelikbca.com yang isinya sama dengan aslinya. Kasus dephut.com ini bukan pemalsuan!! Ini hanyalah kasus domain yang diparkir ke dalam sistem yang memiliki search engine relevant seperti kalau anda parkir domain anda ke sedo.com dimana domain yang anda parkir akan menampilkan data sesuai nama domain dan kategori domain.

Hal ini sama dengan domain blitarkoi.info yang dulunya dimiliki Dinas Pertanian Kota Blitar yang berisi informasi ikan koi, saat ini domain sudah dimiliki pihak lain karena tidak diperpanjang dan isinya adalah tidak berhubungan dengan ikan koi dari blitar tetapi sama seperti dephut.com, hanya berisi link ke portal pencarian.

Sekali lagi…. TIDAK ADA UNSUR PEMALSUAN DI DEPHUT.COM !!
