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?
I’m a C- Traveller
Always makes me feel good to see Filipinos coming up with cool online applications. Recently, Eugene Villar released Lakbayan, a quiz-type app that rates how well-traveled you are in the Philippines. Being from Davao City, ironically I have not been to many places here in Mindanao. I’ve actually been to more while I was living… Continue reading I’m a C- Traveller
An Interview
Migs Paraz interviews me in this cool meme. I’m becoming addicted to these meme-things. They’re irresistable! Migs: Having built your own search engine, what do you think of Pinoy search engines? Do they still have a purpose given that everybody uses Google anyway?

Google’s Aileen Apolo tagged me for this meme: What are the 3 signs you see happening now that make you say, “it feels great to be Pinoy”? Thanks to the Macalua who started this meme.
Quantcast: Better than Alexa
I’ve been using Quantcast since last year and all I can say is it has the potential to give Alexa a run for its money. That is because Quantcast doesn’t rely on a silly toolbar for its ratings but instead analyzes data from advertisers, publishers, ISPs and advertising networks, which I think is the most… Continue reading Quantcast: Better than Alexa
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. But I guess it is a double-edged sword. The economy is doing well (although debatable) which naturally means that… Continue reading Local Exchange Rate Vs. Adsense
Oh. My. God.
