Do it the Halal way, Pay for ads!

We've noticed an increased number of businesses posting ads in questions despite accepting the community guidelines and rules where it clearly says its not allowed. To do so without payment for advertising is just wrong. If businesses continue to do so, we would not be able to continue running this website for long. We are bearing all the running expenses of this website and as businesses continue to profit from the exposure through our website, we have to incur more cost. As the cost reaches proportions that we cannot sustain, we will no longer be able to run this website and the people who have been benefiting from it, won't benefit anymore. We all lose out in the end.

As a muslim business do not take what you are doing lightly. Rest assured, you will get more business from us, but what you are earning by doing the above is not Halal and your income has no blessing. Putting ads on our site withought payment, asking questions to promote your own business, answering your own questions about your business by signing up multiple accounts, posing as fake customers all to increase your business popularity is considered cheating, stealing and deceiving. Is this who we are as Muslim Businesses?

NB lounge has already created avenues for business to actively participate on this site in a Halal acceptable manner.

1) by signing up for a business account for FREE
2) paid advertising oppourtunities for those who would like to fully take advantage of our strong ranking on the Internet for various things concerning Singapore Muslims ie, wedding, catering, fashion, products and services, islamic classes..etc.

The benefits of being mentioned on our site are obvious. For example a wedding card business is getting thousands of people visiting their website alone per month because someone has truthfully listed their website in one of the questions in this site. Similarly these catering business also get huge amounts of traffic from us. You can see for yourself.

http://extremetracking.com/open;ref2?login=puteriwe

Scroll down to the last section 'All website referrers' and you'll see a page from our site listed in the top 3 referrers. eg. from sham-enterprise, we are no. 1. bringing them 16.5% of their total traffic from our catering question.

Now imagine, if this sort of exposure is possible from just a question, what could be possible from advertising on the site, where your ad would be visible on all pages.

You can help our Singapore Muslim community and this website including your business by doing the right thing, which is to pay for your ads. Your contribution will fund the running of this site and benifit thousands of people. Allah will reward you more with his approval and blessing (barakah) by increasing your business popularity Inshllah. So, brothers and sisters, do it Halal, pay for your ads.

RSS New Question feed? What is this?

Part of our mission on NB lounge is to educate our Singapore Muslim community on how to utilise the Internet in a different level such that it will play a significant role in our daily life. Living in Singapore means that we don't have much time to waste. That is why an RSS is one of the most useful tool you can use that will save you time.  

How do they work? 

With RSS, you don't have to keep vising each of your favorite website manually anymore. Let those website come to you. Be updated instantly when there are new content in ALL your favorite websites at once. It is time saving and extremely versatile. Clueless about RSS and how to use them?

Watch this video and don't miss the boat.

Congratulations to our Top member prize winners!

hand-made cards designed and created by Sultana

NB lounge has just turned 2 years of age and already we rank no. 1 for many search terms to do with Singapore Muslims. Many of our visitors / members have not grasped the idea of this Ask answer website fully. Most of the time someone asks a question but does not think of answering other people's questions which could have easily been answered. If more members answer new questions and not just ask their own questions, they will find their own questions getting more responses.

One of the ways which we have come up with is to credit our members by giving score points, ranking shields and prizes to the top members whose answers have been accepted.

Here are our prize winners for 2009 who have just received their prizes!

1st- Faris

An active member on NB lounge who runs his own website called Islamtouch.com. He's a Muslim living in Singapore passionate about Islam.

2nd - Mehboob

The founding member of Faithhub doing dakwah work to help Muslims in Singapore, especially the converts / reverts.

3rd- Sultana

She's a skilled designer in various platforms.

4th- Ahxuan

A Muslim Chinese revert since 2002 for that plain simple reason, marriage. She learnt more about Islam over the years and is still learning to be able to answer the questions posed by her kids and on this website.

New re-designed NB lounge site launched

Our re-designed website was launched on the 28th Feb 2009. It's now cleaner and easier to use than ever before with new features like RSS, cool log in, top member cloud, profile bar, browsing new questions and recently replied.

Response to the redesign have been promising as users are viewing more pages as compared to the old designed site. We can say that the new design have created positive changes. Popularity have grown only 1 week after the launch. We will continue to see drastic increase in popularity and usage as more features will be added in the upcoming months.

Nasi briyani lounge is a Singapore Muslim ask answer website. People can ask questions from the multi genre topics listed and get answers/ reply from the Singapore online Muslim community itself. Our website uses CSS, ASP, cross browser capability, Ajax, jQuery, SEO. We are probably one of the very rare websites in Singapore that is using latest innovative technology and efficient programming. We are proud as a Singapore Muslim website to have been featured in a couple of CCS galleries
