How the Top 100 Malaysian Blogs is Ranked –

How is the rank calculated?

Adi has been receiving emails, forum discussion, and comments on how is this rank calculated. It is not his personal opinion but he puts a weight more on alexa ranking compared to technorati ranking. So if your ranking gets higher (drop in rank) in alexa or numbers gets higher in technorati as well, do expect that your ranking will slip as well. But there are occasion that ones goes up and another goes down, this will depend on the changes. – Adi Wong

The “STUDY IN AUSTRALIA 2009 – Explore Australia. Discover Yourself” education fair, is targeted at students and their families who are weighing up the important choice of ongoing education. The Australian Government takes a strong interest in maintaining the quality of education for Australians and international students alike. With its very sophisticated education and training system, students are not only exposed to world-class courses of study but also specialist support services. That is why more and more students from all over the world come to Australia to participate in its world-class higher education, progressive vocational education and training (VET), excellent schools and international English courses.

This year’s event is the biggest yet, with 36 leading Australian education institutions from ALL states in Australia participating in the ‘Study in Australia’ education fair on 24 and 25 October 2009 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. More than 60 representatives from Australian colleges and universities will be on-hand to provide course and career advice for students and their families.

This year we will see an increased focus on Vocational & Education Training (VET) as another pathway to gain education qualifications recognised by Australian government and employers. The National Quality Training Framework ensures Australia’s national VET system provides high quality, industry relevant training and qualification recognition. There will be four (4) of these institutions participating in our special 2-hour VET seminar to talk about workplace training in various disciplines. This will be held at 3.30pm on Saturday, 24^{th October in the exhibition hall itself.}

^{Other scheduled seminars by Australian education institutions include talks on reasons to study in Australia, new directions of education and industrial expectations.
