EDSA People Power Revolution

I was too young to remember all the events that happened last Feb 1986 (I was still 4 years old), but people have been saying that it was our country’s finest moment (after the Spanish, Japanese and American era) where the whole country united in one voice against a strong tyrant.

Listen to Magkaisa here:

It’s already 22 years since we last had this kind of unity, the succeeding People Power movements (EDSA II and III) were not as united in one objective as before since the people who supported the oust of the President (Erap Estrada) on EDSA II are generally the same people who wanted to remove the next President (Gloria Arroyo) on EDSA III.

A highly likely strategy that your competitors integrated in their websites to obtain such incredible results is Search Engine Optimization.

Why do we need Pay Per Click?

Why do we need Pay Per Click? Pay-per-click, popularly known as PPC, is defined as an advertising method used in search engines, websites and advertising networks. It is considered as a fast growing technique in promoting websites because of its effectiveness and affordability. Webmasters who use the right keywords relevant to the site’s content in their Search Engine Marketing campaigns will obtain targeted traffic but before a site achieves good organic rankings, it is advisable to use the pay-per-click technique. Once you integrate this method, you can benefit in having a stable stream of traffic due to its long re-indexation time and seasonality. Moreover, if you used to have good organic listings but have been eliminated from the top results by your strong competitors, investing in PPC advertising would be helpful.

For guidelines on PPC Advertising, you can join the SEO Book Training by Aaron Wall. And if you have your own PPC campaigns, you can use the user-friendly Free SEO Software to help you manage these campaigns!

How to do an effective Off Page Optimization

Posted on February 18th, 2008 | Subscribe in a Reader | Subscribe by Email

How to do an effective Off Page Optimization There are various factors that search engines consider before they decide to give a web page a high page rank or generate traffic to the site. When you want your website to appear on the top results in search engines, you must not only limit yourself in optimizing the web pages of your site but also pay much attention to the off-page factors that can affect the popularity of your site to search engines.

Submitting your web pages to directories, choosing the right and effective keywords and link popularity greatly affect your position in search engines more than all the on-page optimization factors combined altogether. It is recommended that you give 50% of your time in website optimization toward building good link popularity. It should be noted that quality surpasses quantity, which means that it is better to have a small number of good related sites linking to your site than to have plenty of spammy links coming from link farms or unrelated sites. Getting high-quality links is the main goal in building link popularity. These links can be obtained from pages that are frequently updated and with valuable content that is relevant to your site and pages which have only a few other links.

If you need someone to help you build high-quality links to your site, hire a backlink builder now! Or if you need someone to write the articles for you, hire an article writer now! Continue reading »

Collin and Adrian won the Amazing Race Asia 2

It is now confirmed and final! Collin and Adrian of Team Singapore won the Amazing Race Asia Season 2!

It is not because they know the ins and outs of Singapore, but because Adrian’s knowledge on world flags. They really deserve to outrun, outsmart and win the Amazing Race right in their own home country.

Collin and Adrian won the Amazing Race Asia 2

Team Philippines Marc and Rovilson hit their Achilles Heel when they decided Rovilson will do the final road block. I have always thought that Marc has a good memory when he got a road block (the one where they traversed from one post to another while counting numbers) right on the first try. That wrong move caused them to finish last Continue reading »

COLIN AND ADRIAN WON!!!!! MARC NELSON SHOULD HAVE DONE THE FINAL ROAD BLOCK…TOO BAD. CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM SINGAPORE! Read more here

The final leg of the Amazing Race Asia 2 is only 2 days away and people have been searching online for spoilers on who won the Amazing Race Asia Season 2?

My first post on the Amazing Race Asia about Mark and Rovilson winning the race reached 4,000 unique visits since I posted it 11 days ago (making it the most popular post of this site). The post is also ranked high on related searches like amazing race asia 2 winners, amazing race asia season 2 winners and amazing race asia winners. This only shows that fans of Mark and Rovilson, Colin and Adrian and Vanessa and Pamela and the rest of the teams are so excited to see who will finish first at the final pitstop.

Here is a question for you guys…

If Mark and Rovilson won the race, why aren’t they paired together on a TV commercial? Only Colin and Adrian (one of the final three teams) have a TV ad with them together. The other Amazing Race sponsor ads are from the eliminated team, Brett & Kinaryosih with their IndoSat TV advertisement and Vanessa and Rovilson with their Sony Camera commercial. Is it because Mark has Continue reading »

Ballet Manila’s Romeo and Juliet at Trinoma

Posted on February 10th, 2008 | Subscribe in a Reader | Subscribe by Email

Tonight (6pm) there will be a presentation of Ballet Manila’s version of Romeo and Juliet, featuring Prima Ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, here at the TriNoma Mall and organized by 33rd Street Event Productions.

Update: The Romeo and Juliet Ballet was somewhat like an interpretative dance (or are all ballet performances interpretative dance?) and it retells one of the best plays of William Shakespeare. Since I have seen the Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes version of Romeo and Juliet, I kinda understood the story behind the hour long jumping, leg-spreading and the tip-toe-walking performance that ballet is very well known of. If you haven’t read or seen Romeo and Juliet before, you will not understand what is happening during the dance.

Since it was my first time seeing a ballet concert, I was curious on how it will be like. My first impression was their excessively tight tights and their petite bodies, giving me an impression that one can never be a ballerina if one is fat or big. I also find some parts boring because they have been running and jumping for minutes and I don’t know what they are doing.
