Have you heard about this guy, Dr Irfan Khairi ? Let see his brief profile,

Irfan Khairi graduated with a B.A. Hons in Multimedia Design from Staffordshire University, United Kingdom.Soon after, Irfan was offered to work with one of the largest IT companies in Birmingham, Netmedia (UK) Ltd. As a multimedia system developer and a multimedia consultant, Irfan was responsible to create an Internet learning system for the schools in United Kingdom called the Learning Grid. Currently there are more than 5,000 schools across the United Kingdom using the Learning Grid system.

However, with the background and knowledge as well as his passion in Internet and business, he decided to start a part-time Internet business back in 1999. He then decided to pursue his Internet business full time after 1 year of operation as he was getting more income from the Internet than his 9-5 job.

Since then, Irfan has been working full time from home using his laptop through the Internet. Within 3 years of operation, one of his Internet businesses has generated RM1,000,000 net profit - without workers and state-of-the-art computers. And his start up costs was…. only RM500. He was 25 years old then!

Irfan’s Internet business, under the name of Idea Bubble, has served more than 3,000 customers around the globe. Most of them are from USA, UK, European countries to the Middle East, Japan and Australia! Amongst his successful businesses are creating E-books, developing graphics and websites, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) service, selling maps, booking hotels, Multimedia, E-commerce and Learning Consultant.

I never met him, but I saw him last week on TV, I heard about him from his roomate during A-Level (Chole). Irfan from Seremban, he bought a RM700,000 with cash, and everybody in Malaysia talking about him.

I have done some search on him and found that he has a nick name too ” Nik Efay” Try search now and you will see …

The secret of a successful link building campaign is perseverance. With tens of millions of websites out there, there’s always a new source of potential links waiting to be tapped, if your approach is right.

You can simplify the process by maintaining an accurate and up-to-date record of the progress of your link building campaign.
What to Track

You need to record the details of all link submission attempts (via form, email or other means), whether successful or unsuccessful. You also need to keep track of any submissions still in process, or awaiting additional information or a specific decision (e.g. you’ve identified a possible promotion venue, but you need to decide whether it’s worth paying for an enhanced listing before you submit your link.
How to Track Your Progress

One easy way to maintain a record of your progress is to use an Excel file, with the following columns…

* Submitted To
The URL of the site or page you submitted your site to.
* Submission URL
If relevant, the URL you actually visited to submit your site.
* Submission Mechanism
Form, email or other submission mechanism.
* Contact
If relevant, the name of the contact person you sent the link request to.
* Email Address
If relevant, the email address you sent the link request to.
* Title
If you’re using more than one title in your link submissions, the title you submitted.
* Description
The description you submitted.
* Submission Date
The date you initially submitted the information.
* Verification Date
The date on which you last checked to see if your link had been added to the target site.
* Follow-up date
If relevant, the date on which you sent a follow-up email.
* Result
Listed, not yet listed or rejected. Once the result is “Listed”, you may want to highlight that row of the table with a different background colour so that you know that particular submission is complete.
* Notes
Any additional information relating to the submission, for example any evaluation time stated on the site, amount you paid for a premium link, etc.

Update the appropriate row in your Excel file every time there is a change in that submission’s status. For instance, if you notice a site has started sending you traffic as a result of linking to you, you can update that entry to “Listed” status.

Each time you submit your site to a new resource, delete that URL from your shortlist of places to promote your site, and add the relevant information to your Excel tracking file. That way, you can see at a glance exactly how your submission campaign is progressing, and how many more places you still need to submit to.
