I will just update this list after they have announced the other category Well Again To All Congratulation. This is my way to ping all of you and have my greetings.

There are also some Filipino Bloggers that shows their earning like James of Pinoy Money Talk who earns Php 204,311 last September 2007 , and some other International Blogger who claims that they earn a lot from blogging.

Well I have made some AdSense and SEO Tips a year ago and I would like to share to you guys.

I also started from cents and even nothing per day and thanks to SEO it made my earning up to around $8 to $10 a day for now and I believe that some day I will also have more if I will devote more time in blogging. BTW Blogging is just a hobby for me, some sort of ice breaker in my office work. I have also share my AdSense Earnings Analysis last year that says I am now a 4 figure blogger.

There are also great other story about Google AdSense where you could find from Marhgil Site and it is because of that post that made me think to make this post. Visit his AdSense Story .

Most of us want to have its own business that someday would give us a good and steady profit that could be used to raise our family. I might not have a big corporation like Apple or Facebook but I believe someday it will be. I don’t want to stay as a worker for a very long time and I am seeing myself as an entrepreneur someday.

Today I consider blogging as a business, since I earn from it and I don’t have my boss. Having its own business is not easy but I believe that knowing the ins and out of blogging could definitely be used in starting up a business.

The way how a blogger plan his post that would eventually get a big traffic, is the same thing as a business person thinking on how they could draw customers on their new launch product.

Business have it’s Up and down, likewise in blogging there is also success and failures. There are times that a hardly written article will not have any single visitors or even comments. This is also same in business. This is why I consider blogging as a business.

I can be called as a netrepreneur. Soon I will try to do some extended business that will be a result of my blogging career.

In business you need to have strategy in having new customers, in blogging a strategy is also needed to gain more visitors and would be customers.

Who is Malu Fernandez ?

She is a journalist who believes in her freedom of speech and believes that she can say anything in Public. She is a famous Buzz maker in Philippine Blogosphere. At First she made a very bad comment regarding Filipino OFW that made her popular in the net. Well actually I don’t know her, not until she make those statement last year.

So what is the Buzz ?

And now Malu Fernandez did it again by commenting about bloggers. According to her comments : ( via Connie )

The difference between a journalist and a blogger is that journalists have to adhere to certain guidelines that govern the freedom of speech. And whatever a journalist chooses to write about—be it popular or unpopular—we do not hide behind an anonymous name and are resigned to the fact that we have to take as much as we dish out.

I really agree that Journalist and bloggers are different. Because bloggers are practicing the freedom of speech. As Bloggers we don’t have Supervisors or editors to edit our write ups. Blogging is an expression of oneself. I as a blogger do not hide my identity you can always check my identity thru my about page for that matter.

But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect.

Well first of all not all blogger thinks blog as a source of income. Some blog their experience and knowledge just because they want to share their opinion in public. And some blog for fame. And Malu Fernandez is right that some blogs for monetization. Well for me I do both. I am monetizing thru different advertisers. I have to pay for hosting fee and other fee like my domain name and others blog expenses, not to mention my photography hobby.

My Opinion & Observation

I am just thinking if Malu Fernandez doesn’t have any job at Manila Standard. Will she be a blogger? I think so , because she knows how to be popular and make the blogosphere heat up . I may say that she has a good technique and a traits of a Master Link Baiter. I agree with Abe she should be nominated as Master Link Baiter of 2008.

Based on experienced the last few days, I am testing doing a schedule posting and Immediate publishing of my post and I found out that when you publish your document as soon as possible Google can index it in an about 15 to 30 minutes whereas when I post a schedule post it will take about 4 to 5 hours before it can be indexed by Google.

How am I doing the SEO Experiment and What is the Result ?

This testing is only applicable to those sites that has been indexed by Google before.

Scenario : Publishing Immediately

After publishing your post wait for about 10 to 15 minutes and head over to Google, Get your title and copy paste to Google Search Bar. Usually it will give you a response of your post Title with your Permalink on it.

Scenario : Scheduled Publishing

After seeing the post in the Front Page and do the same above will not result you any relevant to your Permalink.After an hour or two it might give you Your homepage address having a bold letters for your title. That will only means that it is cached from your homepage.

Publishing in an Search Engine Optimized Way

1) Don’t make an schedule post not unless it is necessary.

2) When you have any great news or article post it immediately as soon as you could.

3) Schedule your posting only if you will go to vacation wherein you cannot do your blogging hobby on time.

4) Better make draft then later publish.

Conclusion

It only means that Your blog Pings Google immediately if you publish your post immediately and it will have a delayed ping for the scheduled post. I have tried this theory in about 5 post. Other tips for linking here.
