An Event Which I Failed to Attend

Dexter Panganiban — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:01:02 +0000

Yup it is an event which I failed to attend. And they call it WordCamp. There are lots of stories behind this event.

The Wordcamp Philippines is now finished but the experience it left to the Pinoy Bloggers will never be forgotten. I envy them because I was not able to attend due to the reason that I am not in Philippines.

And now as promised I am also linking this fellow Bloggers who shared their experience with the recent concluded Wordcamp Philippines. I copied the list from Jehzlau’s Post regarding this event.

It would be great if the next Wordcamp will be held during Vacation time. So Thanks to Mindanao Bloggers who arrange this event

TopBlogs.com.ph : Monitoring Philippine Top Blogs

Dexter Panganiban — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 12:58:08 +0000

I have installed yesterday the new codes for TopBlogs.com.ph( former PinoyTopBlogs owned by Abe ). This is a way to source out new subscribers and readers within a specific Geo location. Since this is a Pinoy Top Blogs, I know that Pinoy Bloggers and Net enthusiast will be checking this site regularly.This might also be a source of some case study related to Philippine Blogging. So being Top Notch in this site will mean something later on.

TopBlogs.com.ph! by Enthropia Philippines

Although site still have some broken links. [ Page navigation ], I would like to thank them for putting this project again live again. I remember when I was I just beginning in Blogging, I can’t even locate my blog on the first 5 pages It is good to see now that I am catching up. I may not be as popular as others but I am glad that I have increased my readership since my first post ( Sept 2007 ).

One that I have noticed is they removed the banner. This might be a strategy to lessen the load of the server. The over all look of the site is great. Nice and clean. Almost same color as this blogs theme. Another great feature is it is giving a live report of your current rank. I don’t know if they are still showing up below 50. It is reset to 0 every week.

One additional tip in order to take advantage in this kind of Blog ranking site is to put your blog in your specified niche. So that You can more exposure on those people dominating on that niche.

You can now register your blog here. ( Strictly for Filipinos )

Lesson Learn from Marhgil Macuha SEO Contest

Dexter Panganiban — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 22:00:06 +0000

It was so sad that every plan and effort that I made for the mentioned contest was ruined because of the incident that happen at my site. Garry gave his game plan and I would like to share mine. That made me in constant First Page & Second Page from of Google and Yahoo as promised on my previous post.

The Blogroll Technique

Since I have other blogs hosted from WordPress.com and Blogspot I was able to put a Blog Roll under with name Marhgil Macuha that is directed to my post. I was also able to put links at my Forum Signature links.

The Feeds Technique

I have included a link to my post in all my feeds.

The Posting Technique

I was able to make different post from my other blog to boost the ranking of my entry post to the contest.

Every time that I see my rank is going down, I will try to make a post in my other blogs just to make an additional juice to my entry.

My Final Plan in which was not implemented : The Blog Name Technique and Posting

To change my blog name from ” Technology At Hand ” to ” Marhgil Macuha “. I did not make it from the beginning since I am afraid that it will make problem on other Keyword that I am optimizing in this blog. I have seen that almost all in the Front Page is using this technique. But I plan to be my last card. But is does not came into reality.

My other plan is to make post in all my blogs at an interval of 30 minutes prior to the project conclusion. But unfortunately it was not done.

Lesson learn from my opponent

I have seen that the Search Engine gives additional juice to the one who blog it first, Although Jehzlau was not the winner, He was there in the first page constantly. No wonder why those news breaker like Tech Crunch is always on top of the SERP either Google or Yahoo.

Using the Social Media Site to boost the Google or Yahoo SERP ( Search Engine Ranking Page )

Congratulation to the Winner

Well I can only say congratulation to as announced from Marhgil Site :

Google.com: Garry Baybayan with his entry: Marhgil Macuha

Yahoo.com: Eli with his entry: Who Is Marhgil Macuha

Conclusion

It is fun to join such kind of contest. First you will learn a lot. And you will be able to meet new friends. I must admit that Marhgil contest gives way so that this site will be known to other Pinoy bloggers. I am a winner in a sense that I have gained some readers and feed subscriber from this contest. I wonder if Marhgil will post all the entries as a way of showing his thanks to all who joined? Because I want to make a calculation on how many did this two winner beat.

And finally thanks to Eam for making me smile even after what happen to my site.
