Allowed Sites on Google Adsense
Noticed something new on my Google Adsense panel.

Alexa Train, Technorati Train, Viral Tags: Do They Really Work?
From my experience of running a web directory and blog directory, I’ve come across dozens of blogs that join these so-called link “trains” to increase their Alexa and Technorati rankings.

Local Exchange Rate Vs. Adsense
I got a rude awakening this morning. The newspaper headline read: Peso surges to 45.87:$1 Gone are the days when the exchange rate was 55 pesos to a dollar. Ugh. Just when my earnings were rising.

Google Webmaster Central
The new Google Webmaster Central brings together all the tools webmasters need to monitor and optimize the way the big G treats their sites. I think that it’s about time they came up with this.

I’ve been hearing about the PageRank update for more than a month, but it was only through the spankin’ new SEO Philippines forums that I realized it was officially showing up on my browser toolbar. This article’s title speaks for itself. This is the best ever PR update in the world! Haha. My homepage at… Continue reading PageRank Woot

SEO Philippines’ BeerCon 2006
Finally, I got to meet Marc and Abe in person at Jill’s (@ the Fort) where SEO Philippines’ first Beercon was held. It was perfect timing. I got home from Thailand that day October 28, refreshed and renewed after a tedious work schedule and a cold that wouldn’t go away (I’m better now). What a… Continue reading SEO Philippines’ BeerCon 2006
