Blog From Cebu To The World

Someone copied my Pacquiao vs Hatton Pacquiao Fight Results Predictions post and posted word-for-word the whole thing in his website. My misspelled Pacquaio was not edited and damn he is even ahead of me at Google’s SERP.

I don’t really mind if we had the same title, as I know that mine is so generic and bland. What I am furious about is that he copied the whole thing, even the headers and the bold words and phrases. He could have restructured, rephrased, rewrite, add or subtract something in that post. It would only take a few brain nerves and muscles to do that.

Have you formulated your New Year’s Resolution already? It is 9 more days to go before 2009 comes. We’ve got to change this and that. Do this and that. Woe her and her. Buy this, sell that. And just like the last years, we have some of those so-called New Year’s resolutions. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, here are 50 New Year’s resolution ideas I gathered from many people (some of which I even had in my list in the past):

This is probably the last of my EC love and easy link giveaways. This is not a contest. But it’s my way of rewarding my top droppers. However, times have changed and I have to come up with something new. Or shall we say: The entrecard credits are good, but we need cash. Like what I have done for these last few months, I will give away 300, 200 and 100 ec credits to my top 3 droppers. No cash yet. My Paypal account is almost empty.

So, here are my top 3 droppers for the last 31 days:
First: Turnip – Social Networking
Second: Technically Easy – Tips to Help You Understand Computers
Third: Banic Manic

And the winner for the 125×125 ad for a week is:
What About Brazil

(Mr. Prado, please reply to this entry if you want another ad to be advertised here instead of your blog. Otherwise, I’ll just use your entrecard ad.)

The entrecard dropping has become a chore to many, so their dropping habits have drastically changed. Some even left entrecard. But I will not follow them in their exodus. I’ll remain with the community unless I get banned or forced out.

EC love and easy link has ended. My next project is to reward my readers. So, if you haven’t subscribed to my feeds, do so now. Thank you and happy blogging everyone!

How’s your money-making blogging experience? A year in adsense and still making cents? Or you have a Google Adsense success story to share? Maybe you have already bought a PC or even a new car from your adsense earnings. Or perhaps you are one of the many who’ve already taken down the codes and eventually gave up on earning online thru Google Adsense?

If you are still making cents, don’t worry. You are not alone. You have me and plenty of bloggers out there. Don’t be desperate by violating rules, clicking on your own ads or even asking friends and readers to click on yours. You’ll be banned for life and even the scanty amount you have in your account will be taken away from you.

Here’s some hope for you (and for me). It is true that there are bloggers who are making a lot of money from Google Adsense. Not only bloggers but organizations are earning as well. Are there any secrets that we don’t know of? Here are some of the techniques I gathered: Read the rest of this entry »

Do you ever wonder why some blogs are popular and the others are not? Or just consider your own choices of the blogs you follow. Is it because they have marketed theirselves to you, or you just stumbled upon them and got hooked?

If you desire to be noticed and read by other bloggers, consider these 6 things bloggers want from the blogs they read and follow. It could be just one, any combination or all of the six. Some want this and the others want that. You may develop your blogging strategies around these and replicate the success of others who have led the way.

The term ‘bloggista’ is not just the Tagalog or even Hispanic translation of a blogger. What is a bloggista? This is my contribution to the definition:

Noun
- someone who blogs with zeal and passion, incorporating all aspects of blogging in his lifestyle, both business and personal.
- a trendsetter in blogging, whether it be in technical aspects, blog content, or just trendy designs that contribute to the total aesthetics of the blogging experience.

Sample Uses
1. With his passion for writing and using the blogging as a medium to convey his thoughts and ideas, he will be a leading bloggista someday.
2. She’s such a fashion bloggista! It’s not only her contents are about fashion, but her blog is fashion in itself.

The past few weeks we’ve seen a barrage of changes in the entrecard community. As I posted here when I was still new in the community, Entrecard is fun.

Many months ago, I saw a few blogs from the entrecard community that displays the Nuffnang logo. I wonder where they are from since they are not Filipinos or Westerners. I didn’t bother to check though, as I was not yet ready to put ads in my site.

Two weeks ago, I hopped into Ambo’s site that announced the arrival of Nuffnang Philippines. I read his entire post and head on the Nuffnang site to register. What is Nuffnang? Here’s an excerpt from their blog:

There are plenty of Pinoy SEO experts and enthusiasts these days, unlike a year ago when most of the bloggers I know were simply personal bloggers, and the method used to increase readership is thru building relationships with other like-minded bloggers. I say I miss those days. But blogging has evolved and the number of bloggers had increased exponentially in which expression and content are not the only things that matter for the blogger.

Then enter blog monetization, rankings, social networking and SEO. The objectives are to increase blog visibility, web traffic, and the monetary opportunities. Here are some web traffic news I gathered from the blogs I read the last 30 days:

I haven’t really been to a large blogging meet (blogging EBs). Maybe the largest gathering that I’ve been too was that organized by Rhodz and Weli, way back many months ago. The money making wonders of blogging opened the eyes of the other participants. I’ve been to small meets with Bloggista and Javi. It’s a small world really, since two were boardmates many years (and pounds) ago, and found each other again on that meeting in Makati.

I get to see Cyril almost everyday and we had plenty of discussions regarding our blogging directions. More of the blogs, and less of our cubicle occupation. He recently launched his latest blog: Risk of Business, making full use of his professional knowledge in the world of business and taxation. I, too, am drawn to follow suit.
