What Have You

When we talk of blogging, the question of web design, functionality, ease of navigation and loading speed might come to mind. Also, when you think of your readers, content is always king. SEO and programming skills are also required (for traffic). All these concepts rolled into one medium called a blog is [...]

If you are living in the Philippines or at least have lived here for quite a while, then you might be familiar with ISP’s here serving broadband connections like Digitel and PLDT. Lately, there seems to be an outage in many areas of the country which is driving DSL subscribers nuts.

After blogging for a little over 5 months, I have not thought of redesigning this blog. This template is actually the first theme I have tried since I installed Wordpress in my web hosting account using Fantastico in Cpanel. If you have your own web hosting account, installation of these softwares are just [...]

A few days ago, Alexa announced that their ranking system has taken a new form.  That is, the new rankings should better reflect the interests and surfing habits of the broader population of web users, so they claimed, adding that they will now measure traffic from browsers without the Alexa toolbar installed.  This is in [...]

Yeah, that’s correct. You can traffictize your blog by submitting your article to web directories. If that is a new concept to you, then this is the chance for you to learn how to do it.

Web directories which accept articles like ezine and the like have proven their power in delivering extra traffic to any site owner. Some advantages of submitting your articles to a web directory is you get extra exposure for your write-ups.

Prior to blogging, I had no credit card or a debit card. But when blogging became “profitable”, as some of you may know it, a credit card and Paypal accounts are must-haves. Any blogger who has an inclination to monetize his blog knows that by now.

If you’re in the business of creating web pages or developing a fully-functional website, then better grab some books, get a lot of snacks and hope that your PC won’t break down. This is because designing a website or web pages takes a lot of time.

In monetizing a blog, one can find a lot of networks that could satisfy his taste. Admit it or not, we do not have the same taste in ads to be placed in our sites. Some of us bloggers prefer referrals or affiliate marketing, some love the pay-per-click (PPC) and cost-per-mil (CPM) programs. [...]

If you are using a cellular phone, it is most likely that you are using its text messaging services more than its call capabilities. Well, at least that is what most Filipinos do.
However, when you use a regular phone and the phone does not have the capability to send a text message, then calling [...]

The latest Google Page Rank update proved extremely unfavorable to legitimate sites and blogs. Even the Page Ranks of top bloggers like John Chow and legit news sites providing us quality, relevant and original materials got slapped.
May site owners can only complain. Indeed, how can Google possibly determine the “worth” of a site [...]

About an hour ago, Jennie, a Pinay blogger was seeking my help regarding an issue most bloggers (and writers for that matter) must have experienced at least once – plagiarism. Her article was allegedly stolen (plagiarized) by another blogger and I checked her site and the other blogger’s site to find out if it [...]

In publishing your article/post, do you edit them first or just publish your work without re-reading your work? Why is editing your post important? These are some of the questions that I wish to answer in this article.
As a writer for many years, I find it inevitable at times to commit errors in [...]

After posting an article titled Understanding Your Alexa Rank, here is the article that deals with another site metric – the Technorati rank.

This is not a new topic to old bloggers (I’m not referring to the age of the blogger but the age of the blog or the blogger’s total time spent on blogging). [...]

This post may sound like George Lucas’ masterpiece, Star Wars. The title is I think the fifth installment of the global blockbuster film. But, nah. I’m not talking about the rich director’s movies. It’s all about our friend Google’s slapping of page ranks again. This topic is not new and I’m sure some [...]

After posting an article displaying my intent to build a group of Ilocano bloggers, I have received comments and shouts in my shout box showing support to this goal. Perhaps the biggest challenge is to convince locals to join the blog bandwagon. Personally, I know of a lot of people in my home province [...]

Bloggers, listen up! Google continues to beat the drum about passing PageRank through paid links as Matt Cutts weighed in on the topic with another request that webmasters use the ‘nofollow’ attribute for them.

Though plenty of places in the Northern Hemisphere shiver in chilly temperatures, webmasters will continue radiating heat after the latest double-barreled [...]
