Thomas Friedman, author of the famous book "The world is flat" once said "“It (The internet) created a global platform that allowed more people to plug and play, collaborate and compete, share knowledge and share work, than anything we have ever seen in the history of the world.” He is right. The internet has created a global platform that somehow makes the playing field in terms of income opportunities between people living in rich countries and poor countries. The world is indeed flat and making cash online has never been easier. While blogging may not be all about money, it cannot be denied that one could make a real living out of blogging. Almost all bloggers who are monetizing their sites have a list of “recommended money makers.” So I am writing here about my recommended money makers. Take note that this is not an experimental thing. I am making real cash online through these ad networks. Click on the links below to sign up for free. But before you sign up, it is best that … [Read more...]
Go Macuha.com for blogger’s choice award !
Just a couple of days more to go for the “Oscars” of the Philippine blogsphere, the Philippine Blog Awards part 2 ! So bloggers prepare your Oscar de la Renta inspired gowns and suits and roll out the red carpet! Just like the Oscars, there are several categories that a Philippine based blog may be given an award for. One of those is the “Blogger’s choice awards.” Casting a vote for the blogger’s choice awards requires making a tough choice. Not only that, it requires a lot of commitment since in order to vote, you have to make a post about why you made such choice. (By the way whose idea is this? Congratulations to the P.B.S committee, this is such a great idea)There are so many good blogs to choose from. However there is no other blog that I visit more often than any of the blog that has been nominated and that is the blog of no other than the prince of Philippine S.E.O, Marghil Macuha.(www.macuha.com) Next to John Chow, Marghil Macuha is one of the “pro-bloggers” whom I look up … [Read more...]
Why I love Nuffnang
Notice the cute ad with the Philippine flag in my right side bar that looks like a digital signage ? Well, that is an ad space reserved for NuffNang. It is the latest craze to hit the Philippine Blogsphere just these past few weeks. Dubbed as “Asia's first blog advertising community”, Nuffnang was founded in February of 2007. This community driven blog advertising quickly attracted bloggers in Singapore and Malaysia. Currently there are more than 40,000 bloggers in its network. There are probably hundreds of things that I love about Nuffnang. However the best thing I love about this ad network is its strong community. They have a way of reaching out to bloggers and making them feel special. It is not only an ad network, it is a cross between social networking and blog advertising. The Nuffnang community itself is a blog wherein you can post comments and be informed of the latest developments. For me, this strong tie to the blogging community is what really makes it really live up … [Read more...]
How to come up with keywords that will get you high traffic
Different bloggers have different methods of coming up with their own keywords to optimize. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of ways on how to come up with the right keyword. Personally, I believe that in order to find high traffic or high trend - low trend keywords (HITLOD) keywords, you do not have to search for them. They will just come to you just like how great artists and inventors suddenly come up with a brilliant idea. (For more information on HITLOD keywords check out my blogpost: "A step by step guide on how to optimize high traffic-low density keywords." Here are my suggestions on how to come up with a keyword: 1.) Discover great keywords as you go about your day to day experiences - For example, after I watched the movie 21 I began to search the internet for the real story behind the movie. I realized that people would start to emulate them by gooogling “black jack”, “counting cards in blackjack”, “counting cards”, “how to count cards” or other similar … [Read more...]
What happened to my “Olympics 2008 standing” post?
Last August 4, 2008 I wrote the post entitled “Beijing Olympics 2008 standing.” I figured out that a lot of people will be searching for the keyword “Olympics 2008 standing” since the keyword “Olympics 2004 standing” received several hits for a short period of time. In short I optimized this blog for that keyword, knowing full well that I will receive a lot of visitors for this keyword. Within 24 hours, my post got indexed by google. Since only a few bloggers were writing for that keyword, I immediately made it to the top 5 in the SERP. After 2 days, my position improved to number 2 and then yesterday I made it to the number 1 spot for the keyword “Olympics 2008 standing.” I was excited of the possible deluge of visitors that would make it in my site. However when I checked last night, I was surprised that I am no longer in the number 1 spot in google for the keyword “Olympics 2008 standing.” What’s worst about this is that I am not even in the top 10 nor in the top 500!
