Do any of you remember my Must Read Coin Card Posts? Some of you might saw some mistake in that particular post, right? It is exactly a trap for a blogger who like to copy what I share in this blog. Many of my readers informed me about his blog that copy so many thing from my blog including my Facebook, Twitter button and some of my posts. If you Google "1989-Malaysia 2nd series coins", You will find the culprit that I mention. If you don't get why that post is a trap, look at your 2nd series coin card. If you still don't understand because you don't have that coin card, look at other Malaysia coincards that you have, I had changed some of the coincard title in that post to make sure this culprit get into my trap. That guy just stupidly copy and paste what I share in my blog with a little edit so I don't notice and without giving any credit to me. Even an Otai (oldtime) blogger who don't agree with my post can give a link back to my blog (Thank you My-Koleksi).
Malaysia coin collector community is not that big, people will notice if you keep on copy what other people do in the internet. I don't mind if people sharing information in my blog without permission but please tell others where do you get that information. I invite some of Malaysian coin blogger for a blog education before but most of them is lazy and don't want to do their homework. If you really serious to be a blogger, you must willing to do some hard work and share information that you knew. I had been sharing many information since 2009. People will find you if your information is worth something for them. If you share something that you get from other people site, they will mention it to the original blogger. Blogging is not just about writing, they're a lot of thing that you need to do and learn. This year Google will be aggressively looking for copycat like this with their Google Panda and Google Penguin update. My intention to help and teach Malaysia coin blogger so many people will start to learn about blogging and share more information that they knew online. In the end, more Malaysian will be inspired by Malaysian coin bloggers and start their collection. For me, the more the merrier but don't expect to learn about blogging if you cannot spend at least one hour a day for your blog.
Blogging about coin blog is not about money, I had other blogs for that. It is more about the satisfaction when someone thanks you for your information. One collector email me how he start to learn looking for cheap coins and banknotes after reading my post; where to find coin in Malaysia. One flea market seller thank me for sharing his picture in my blog, an Australian came to Penang because with a picture of him from my blog, after saw my blog post about Penang roadwalk. A readers want to give me 10% commission for helping him realize his sell of old Straits Settlements banknote but I said to him, no need to do that. I share what I read and learn for free, no need to pay me anything. Even when you share my post via Facebook or Twitter, its already a great thing for me.
I don't need to mention name in here because I think many of you already knew who is that. Please, be genuine and share good reliable information to your readers. Malaysian coin community is not that big.
PS: I myself need to check for some old posts that Google detect as a copy from other people posts.
