By Ariel Allosada Allera (ariel_allera@yahoo.com)

The Pacific Grand Ballroom of the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino will experience an illustrious night of glitz and glamour, pomp and pageantry, as past Miss Cebu beauties witness the quest for their 25th successor, the young lady whose crown will be relinquished by reigning queen Sian Elizabeth Maynard.

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!

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.

Comments are important as it is considered in determining the overall winner who will win $100 and other freebies. Comment if you find the definitions more or less accurate, and comment if you find them outlandish. Whatever, just don’t spam!

Like what I have done for these last few months, I am giving away 300, 200 and 100 ec credits to my top 3 droppers. Since EC will now tax these transfers, the winners will get their ECs while I will be burdened by the additional 12.5% tax. But it will not diminish the recognition, despite the annoying taxes. And from my top ten, I will randomly choose a winner for a week of 125×125 ad space in my blog. The last time, the one week became three weeks because I forgot to take the ads down. That was a bonus.

Here are my top 3 droppers (actually 4, since two are tied at second place):

First: Technically Easy

Here the top three droppers here (two were tied at third):

Right now, SEO experts, addicts, enthusiasts, wannabes and pretenders have joined the Cebu SEO Contest organized by Lhurey. There are still15 days to go before the contest is closed on September 2, 2008. Yet it seems like there is a new leader on SERP almost everyday.

I’ve been there once. That must be my lucky day! But right now, I’m on page 2. How to win on the Cebu SEO contest or any other SEO contests for that matter is a puzzle to many, but so easy for some. It is a puzzle for me though. I have not completed reading the SEO e-book in my hard drive and I have skipped some lines while browsing the blog entries of certain SEO experts. So my chances are definitely slimmer, unless luck strikes back on the final day.

For the SEO newbie enthusiasts, joining small contests is a practice ground wherein you hone your skills when you really want to tread the pretty exciting and treacherous world of SEO. Lhurey, a blogger from Cebu, has his Cebu Seo Contest wherein you only need to do the following:

1. Make a post about his contest
2. Link to his blog (not the post) using “Cebu Seo Contest” as the anchor text, and
3. Comment on his post (with your complete name) stating that you joined his contest.

It’s now time to publish and reward my top droppers. I am not sure if others are doing the same thing that I do: give links and ec credits. But I do hope that plenty will follow suit in the future. It’s a give and take community, and we are not really to make money out of those credits.

As per my instructions last month, I’ll recognize only the top 3. But from among the top 10, I will randomly choose a winner for a week of 125 x 125 ad space. I initially wrote 150 x 150, but since I changed my template, the space is reduced. So here goes my top 3:

EC love and easy link I give to my top 10 Entrecard droppers. I’ve done this a month ago, and I am doing it again this month. I’m giving 50 entrecard credits to my top 5 and 20 for the next 5 top droppers for the last 30 days.

But to make things more exciting next month, I’ll reward my top 3 droppers with 300, 200 and 100 entrecard credits. Of course, there’s the usual link in the post. If there’s a tie, the won credits will be divided equally. I will not be anymore giving a link or credit to the rest of the top 10, but I’ll give them a chance to win a week of 150×150 ad space. Among the top 10, I’d randomly select a winner. That would really be of help for your blog promotions.
