May 2008 Philippine CPA Board Exam Results

Posted by ceblogger on May-20-2008

The results of the May 2008 Philippine Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Board Exam is posted here. Feel free to scroll down and read more. This for the exams held last May 11-12 and 18-19, 2008 in the different cities in the Philippines. I felt like posting the results here because I once took the CPA board exam and passed it on my first take in October 1995. Whew! How time flies so fast!

Passing the CPA board exam is one of my life’s greatest moments. I remember that day when the results came in the paper, a neighbor visited our house and brought the good news. I rushed to the nearest newsstand and there grabbed a Philippine Star, the only one at that time that carried the complete and readable results. (We don’t have the internet yet at that time). I was so happy for myself and for my friends who made it. I was even happier for my friends who landed on the top three.

I know the thrill and excitement of waiting for the results. Even non-takers, friends and relatives of examinees are excited of browsing the results hoping for a familiar name. My staffs here are busy surfing the net for the results. I gave them the result as soon I got the file from a friend.

To the new CPA’s, my congratulations! Welcome to the fold!

Google Search Engine Mysteries

Posted by ceblogger

It is every SEO enthusiasts (and even wannabes) dream to be no. 1 on SERP for keywords which they think is important. They do keyword sniping, hijacking, stuffing, loading, linking, highlighting, and every possible tactic just to be no.1. Majority do this with the intent of cashing in. But others do it for fun and gaining popularity.

In my attempt at getting visitors from search engines, which currently is just a mere 2% of my total traffic, I was hoping to be in the first few pages of Google search engine for the key phrase “Free Wi-fi in Cebu”. When I first made a post with that phrase as a title a couple of months ago, I was at no. 3 on page 1. That was when my PR was N/A. The other day (with my PR3), I still saw my blog and a link to my latest “Free Wi-fi in Cebu” post listed in the first page. But today, I can no longer locate it even in Google’s first 5 pages.

Why the sudden drop? What happened? When I went to the blog search for that phrase, I am at no. 1. But I am nowhere to be found in the web search. Even those sites listed in there are blogs too, and they also appear in the blog search but ranked lower than mine. Do you know the reasons for this? I could not think of any reason, of getting a penalty if that is the case.

In the past, my Google webmasters tool says that I was no.1 for the “Cebu” keyword. I didn’t believe it but I immediately checked it anyway. I was nowhere in the first 10 pages. I checked the different data centers, and I found out that it’s in the US center that I was in that lofty position. I checked further but was just frustrated. I thought that the tool did not reflect the correct standing of my blog in that particular keyword.

It’s mind-boggling really. I guess I have to fully read that couple of SEO ebooks hibernating in my hard disk. Or maybe it is just one of those Google mysteries in the worldwide web that no one has yet unlocked.

  1. Sonnie Said,

    Ohh, the mystery of G. It’s hard to fathom. As for me, I just enjoy blogging. The recognition is just an icing in the cake. There are so many bloggers out there competing for a lot of things, that can take away the fun. Specially when G gives a little slap for what it thinks as improper. :-D

  2. sunjun Said,

    listen to sonnie
    you’re getting to obsessed hehehe

  3. keith Said,

    The way i see it. Cguro the keyword’s popularity of cebu wifi is in a decline that why your index page is nowhere to be found after a few days of making it to the top ten page.

    I hope i know what i’m talking about. heheheheh
    good day ceb!

  4. lourie Said,

    Interesting. And scary at the same time, if you’re really serious about getting recognized in search engines. I might as well just concentrate on blogging. I don’t think I can handle the rejection. *shudders*

  5. ceblogger Said,

    sir sonnie, i’m back in the first few pages after I published this entry. unlocking mysteries is part of the fun, but not necessarily the goal. thanks for the comment sir!

    sunjun, how’s the herbs?

    keith, I tried reading other blogs about SEO but I have not yet found the answer.

  6. ceblogger Said,

    lourie, it’s just one of those blogging experiences. no need to feel down.

  7. Dexter Said,

    Google constantly changing.. You just have to be patient and continue working on your keywords SEO

  8. ceblogger Said,

    dexter, traffic from search engines is slowly coming in. i haven’t really optimized on keywords.
