The Famous Auto Blogger, Paul Tan from Malaysia who single-handedly runs the popular auto blog Paultan.org is our Auto Ninja for next week.
Paul Tan has a small web development outfit as a “day job” but the blog is slowly taking over all of his time. He has a few blogs, one on Apple hardware, one on technology and even one on celebrity news but they haven’t really taken off yet.
He doesn’t blog often at these, like the celebrity news one for instance, as he has bloggers to do that. The only one that has taken off in a huge scale in Malaysia is his car news blog at paultan.org, which currently gets about 30,000 visitors and about 80,000 page views daily. One milestone that he has achieved is to gain the status of media with some car companies in Malaysia so he gets invited to launches and test drives - which means more coverage for his site!
Following are the Links to his best posts

This blogger has managed to gain celebrity status amongst the automotive enthusiasts so you can send him questions related to the same at Automotto@instablogs.com and he would answer all of them personally.

What are your chief sources of information about latest technology and new launches? Do you wholly rely on net and different sites or have some personal contacts with auto firms or companies?
Which is the best family sedan as per you and why?
Hello Paul, it’s great to have you here on Automotto, my questions are:
Do the contemporary cars focus more on features and benefits than looks and style, I mean, how do you delineate the present market?
If we talk about the Malaysia alone, we find, Perodua has come out with flying colors in comparison with Proton, what could be the reason for it?
I would like to know which car would you rate as being one of the safest ones.Considering what happened to the late Princess Diana, does it matter whether you drive a Mercedes or an ordinary car?
What’s the difference between the various auto companies? Merely brands are different or there is something else?
In the last couple of years, Asians automakers have progressed magnificently, even capture world’s most lucrative North American market too. Is it only because of surging oil prices or really Asian automakers have improved their engine in the line of western counterparts?
Which do you think is the best source to get good pics and wallpapers on cars? Why are mostly hot chicks used to endorse most cars?
first of all, heartiest welcome at instablogs!
as your blog was established somewhat two years back, you have managed to drag such a huge visitors in such a short span that’s a hard nut to crack.. I congratulate you for that… after browsing through above-mentioned links of your posts, I find you provide with a lot of stats in your posts… is it data that play a vital role in dragging traffic?
Being a blogger, I want to know the significance of ’reviews’
Speculation is that Tata and Renault are launching a $3000 car, with all safety measures, your take on it.
