Checked out the new Live Search Webmaster Center, Microsoft’s answer to Google Webmaster Central. It’s new — so new that I find it virtually useless. Since I presume it’s in beta, I expect more improvements in the coming months. But curious that the panel displays something they call “Domain Rank”.

SEMCON
I was one of the few lucky ones to attend the Search Engine Marketing Conference (SEMCON) in Manila a week ago. Yes, I flew all the way from Davao City to attend it. And I’m glad to say it was worth it! The SEMCON was organized by my SEO expert/friend Marc Macalua of SEO Philippines.
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. Some are also in the illusion that it will increase their Google PageRank. At Ratified.org, I know for a fact that a bulk of those… Continue reading Alexa Train, Technorati Train, Viral Tags: Do They Really Work?
Benj Arriola Wins SEO Championship
I’ve been following Benj’s progress at the SEO World Championship for quite some time now. I and several other SEO Philippines members even handed him some link love to help out in our own way.

SEO Tip: Spell it Right
I strongly believe that one’s ability to search or browse the Internet can be hindered by their failure to spell words correctly. No wonder domaineers are filthy rich. So many people in the world can’t spell! Take for example this query made in my search engine: Initial query: Freindster Follow-up query: Freindster pics Then: Freindster… Continue reading SEO Tip: Spell it Right

Linking could possibly be my middle name. I like giving away links. So if you intend to get a link from my directory, what are you waiting for? Just make a request here and brace yourself for all the PageRank you’ll be receiving. Be sure to follow all the instructions carefully. If you get listed,… Continue reading Just Seo You Know

Davao Rules Ituloy Angsulong
Looking at Dennis Agulo’s Seobunker, two entries from Davao City are making a killing in the rankings! Fellow Davaoeno Jun Macha-macallit (who’s kinda makulit) is currently in second place while Dennis himself is in the top 8. Wow, go team Davao!! Link love: (don’t forget my coffee and dessert guys) Ituloy Angsulong – Seobunker Ituloy… Continue reading Davao Rules Ituloy Angsulong
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
