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:

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.

Have you ever heard any of the two phrases in my above title: Negative SEO and Keyword Bastardization? The first one is not really something new. It has been around the net for many months now but the phrase just popped into my head yesterday. The latter might just be of my own making. But tell me if there is a better term for it.

Negative SEO

…is simply an SEO technique that pushes a website out of the search engine rankings (or deep into limbo of Google SERP). How could that be? If it is unintentionally done and you are doing it for your site, it could be over-SEO. It happened to many of the over-eager SEO enthusiasts. And Google will penalize you for that. One day you’re on top, the next day you’re nowhere.

All ended well for Manny Pacquiao. He achieved a very rare feat in boxing history, brought glory to this ailing country, and cashed-in plenty to the envy of the many. The 9th round demolition of his tough foe, David Diaz, shows that Manny is the best boxer to have come from Asia.

History

Manny made history as the first Asian to win four titles in four weight divisions. 8 other boxing greats achieved this feat before. He started his championship rampage as a flyweight 10 years ago, moved up and captured the super bantamweight, super featherweight and lightweight belts. Maybe he’d try another weight division to make it 5. That would be a tough record to beat by any other boxer.

Web traffic is simply the number of visitors to your website. It does not necessary mean that they read your content, but at least they happen to reach any of your web pages. For webmasters or site owners who have legitimate businesses, traffic is very important, like it is the lifeblood of their online presence. The more people that visit your site, the more exposed your products or services. Traffic is also very important to bloggers who are monetizing their sites. More visits, more clicks on ads, bigger chances of getting expensive reviews, etc…

But what about the personal bloggers and those who are not into blog monetization? First, you have to ask yourself: Why do I need web traffic? If you have don’t have a ready answer for that, let me share to you some of my thoughts.

When I first started out blogging, I was just contented seeing my webcounter move by 2 or 3 paces a day. It meant that someone else had found my site. For a blogger who doesn’t have any idea about SEO, social networking and blog monetization, that was already a point of motivation.

But as the years and months passed by, and an increasing knowledge about how the blogosphere works, I noticed that some people had become crazy about web traffic. They cling to the idea that web traffic equals fame equals money. So, some experiments (sometimes crazy ones) were done just to boost traffic.
