Google Zeitgeist : Philippines March 2007

2007-04-24T21:40:00.000-07:00

Top gaining words for google zeitgeist for the Philippines, march 2007. If you want to generate more clicks and revenues, you might want to try out these search combinations for your blog/website for possible increase of traffic. I am not a fan of Phantom of the Opera and I'm not sure how it ranked on the top of the list for march. As a personal side note, why Ayumi Hamasaki of all people? I didn't know she was more popular than Utada Hikaru in the local scene.

Since google’s search function is one of the top functions in the WWW, keyword optimization is generally needed because people want to access information on certain products, music, movies and whatnot to which, would generate profit for companies in the long run. Keyword optimization, therefore is important in marketing your blog or your website because it helps target a certain niche your blog has.

A healthy tip with keyword optimization is focusing your site’s keywords to what’s really important in your posts, or what message you want to achieve to get more results and queries directed to you.

Aaron decides to sell out through SEO/Ads/SEM?

PART ONE

I don’t know if I could call my new SEO endeavor as ’selling out’ from the prime purpose of my blog (and my new one, SEM Challenge
) or if it’s a calling from God (I still do believe, mind you) to shift from design to something more technical and err, marketing-ish. I’ve probably written about this but I’m a frustrated management guy and this is the closest possible thing of achieving that dream - given that I would never ever get a management based job offline anyway because of my bad math skills.

Payout’s been really good from SponsoredReviews, PayPerPost and Blog to Profit - I never really thought that these companies would really pay - and pay good. Let’s just say that I already earned enough money to provide half a year of extra school allowance since I started this SEO whatever endeavor a few months (or weeks) back influenced by a lot of bloggers and pseudoreinforced by Mae and Benj for some reason I can’t recall.

I still couldn’t position myself if I’d still be doing this SEO thing in the future but for now it’s working for me. I’m still not sure if earning with ad interstitials and posting would generate money in the future so you SEO people, what’s your forecast?

Hello world, really!

This is my entry for this year’s SEM Challenge. I’m really new to this search engine marketing business and I’m trying out my luck this summer break. Who knows, I just might learn a trick or two to finally earn something. Once again, my webhost is acting up and I’ve been trying to install wordpress for hours because it always ends up in a sad timeout. Tough luck, really.

I was always a frustrated management/marketing major so instead of using my creative mind here, I’ll be more technical and scientific and let’s see how it goes.

If you don’t mind linking me up and waste around 45 seconds of your life by doing so, please do and make me happy with this new endeavor of mine.

Hello World, Hello SEM Challenge!
