Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

Do high trend low density “misspelled” keywords bring you lots of traffic ?

by 3 Comments

Veteran bloggers who have mastered the art of Search engine optimization (SEO) will tell you that one way of driving traffic into your blog is by optimizing “high-trend, low density keywords.” or what I call as HTLD or HITLOD. The definition of “high trend-low density” keywords has been discussed extensively in my previous posts such as - “googol – googel” “Mr Bean” and “Pinay scandal” In my own humble opinion, not all HTLD keywords can bring traffic to your site. There are certain keywords that may be classified as HTLD but they may not bring you traffic. An example of this is misspelled keywords. Some bloggers have been optimizing misspelled keywords and I don't know if this has been bringing them traffic and if it does bring traffic, does it bring them lots of it. The proper question that should be also asked is, is it worth it ? Examples of HTLD mispelled keywords are misspellings of the words friendster (Freindster) youtube (yotube), Viideo (vedio), quotes (qoutes) … [Read more...]

1st quarter 2008 – Blog performance review

by 1 Comment

Happy 4th month anniversary to this blog ! It has been my tradition to point out to you the top ten posts of my blog for the month. However since this month is the end of the first quarter of 2008, I will be giving you the top 10 posts that has been the favorite of the visitors of this blog: 1.) PS – The title itself seems quite controversial. No wonder this is the most read post. I am also constantly optimizing this high trend, low density keyword as part of honing my SEO skills and experimenting with SEO strategies and techniques. From placing nowhere in google since the entry of my first post in January 19, 2008, I have ranked no. 55 on March 26, 2008. As of today I am ranked no. 16. This keyword has given me the most traffic from the search engines. 2.) How to add a “home” button that redirects to your post page in Word Press – No doubt that this theme (bloggerpro) is loved by many Wordpress users. Unfortunately the author seemed to forget to place a “home” button. This posts … [Read more...]

Long wait finally over – 2007 Bar exam results released !

by 2 Comments

Yesterday (Saturday) was probably the longest day ever for my friend. At last the bar exam results was released. Sadly she was not included among those who made it. I did not know how to comfort her. No amount of words can try to ease the pain. Preparing for the Philippine bar exams is no joke. The physical and mental torture is unbearable. The waiting period is often times more agonizing than preparing for or taking the actual exam itself. Truly the 2007 bar exams is among the hardest if not the most hardest in Philippine bar exams history. The exam results was supposed to be released last Friday. (See my previous post entitled Bar Exams 2007 to be released by Friday or Saturday) However because of the low passing rate, the Philippine Supreme Court has decided to postpone the announcement of those who passed. They deliberated on the matter and the fate of more than 5,000 candidates hanged in the balance as it was decided within the hallowed chambers of the highest court of the … [Read more...]
