			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to share great information that I read from my Feeds today , it is all about Factors that affects <strong>Search Engine Rankings</strong> and I think this is worth reading if you really want to study about <strong>Search Engine Optimization</strong>. Remember this equation :</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Good Content + SEO + Advertising = Money</strong></div>
<p>In order for you to make more money online understanding SEO is a must in your online ventures and online saga. I just read that the following factors are very important in <strong>Search Engine Rankings</strong> :<br />
<strong>#1 &#8211; Internal vs. External<br />
#2 &#8211; Anchor Text<br />
#3 &#8211; PageRank<br />
#4 &#8211; TrustRank<br />
#5 &#8211; Domain Authority<br />
#6 &#8211; Diversity of Sources<br />
#7 &#8211; Uniqueness of Source + Target<br />
#8 &#8211; Location on the Page<br />
#9 &#8211; Topical Relevance<br />
#10 &#8211; Content &amp; Context Assessment<br />
#11 &#8211; Geographic Location<br />
#12 &#8211; Use of Rel=&#8221;Nofollow&#8221;<br />
#13 &#8211; Link Type<br />
#14 &#8211; Other Link Targets on the Source Page<br />
#15 &#8211; Domain, Page &amp; Link-Specific Penalties<br />
#16 &#8211; Content/Embed Patterns<br />
#17 &#8211; Temporal / Historical Data</strong><br />
I may say that I am practicing some of this but not all , I believe it is a good read and New Information for us learning SEO. So here is the link to the article [ <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/17-ways-search-engines-judge-the-value-of-a-link"><strong>17 Ways Search Engines Judge the Value of a Link </strong></a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a nice video that explains on what we need to do in terms of link Building, is it footer links or in content links ? Well the video stated that in content links is better than footer and it gives better trust.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D0fgh5RIHdE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D0fgh5RIHdE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>The video by Matt Cutts [ Google Engineer ] explains that in the long run it will be better to have an authority link by having a incoming links from post. So I think it would be better to have a link post exchange links rather than side bar blog roll links.</p>
<p>In my opinion this is better for the long run SEO tactics, But for the Current Events SEO tactics , I think Footer and blog roll links is better. But of course Matt is the Google Engineer and not me <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Update : I have seen that this post is ranking in keywords such as <strong><a href="http://techathand.net/2009/07/paypal-philippines-transaction-fees/">Philippines Make Money Online</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://techathand.net/2009/07/paypal-philippines-transaction-fees/">PayPal Philippines</a></strong> because of this I would like to give you more idea on how we can really <strong>make money online thru Blogging in Philippines</strong>. You can see my <a rel="follow" href="http://techathand.net/2009/01/2008-earnings-report-techathandnet/">2008 Earnings Report | Techathand.net</a> where I detailed my earning last year and I think you have to wait for for year 2009 earnings report because it is already doubled compared to 2008.  I made lot of post that could teach you how to blog { <a title="Blogging Tips and Experience" rel="nofollow" href="http://techathand.net/category/blogging/">Blogging Tips and Experience</a> } &amp; <strong>How to Make Money Online</strong> { <a title="Problogging - Make Money Online" rel="nofollow" href="http://techathand.net/category/problogging/">Problogging – Make Money Online</a> , <a title="Adsense Tips and Experience" rel="nofollow" href="http://techathand.net/category/adsense/">Adsense Tips and Experience</a> } and specially Tips about SEO { <a title="Search Engine Optimization | Optimisation" rel="nofollow" href="http://techathand.net/category/seo/">SEO ( Search Engine Optimization Tips )</a> } I just hope that those links could give you some indication on what you are looking.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>And still below are information about Paypal Philippines</strong> :</p>
<p align="justify">I heard some discussion in another forums that <strong>PayPal Philippines</strong> is now charging some percentage in the <a href="http://techathand.net/go/payment.php">PayPal</a> transfer, I would like to clarify this things based on PayPal site and information I gathered.</p>
<p align="justify">Paypal is not charging any fee if you will transfer from your existing PayPal account however you will be charged if your transfer will be coming from a Credit or Debit Card.</p>
<p align="justify">Another tip so that you will not  be charged, is to use the personal transfer option in the send money tab of PayPal.</p>
<p><span id="more-3011"></span></p>
<p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee Personal Payment" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/SendMoneyPayPal_12467778395071.png" border="0" alt="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee Personal Payment" width="484" height="388" /></p>
<p align="justify">I still love how <strong>PayPal Philippines</strong> works with my online ventures and online Payments. It help me a lot in my <strong>Make Money Online</strong> Saga. PayPal had helped me a lot in my transaction to different countries. I use <strong>PayPal Philippines</strong> account and I am withdrawing it thru my <strong>Citibank Credit Card.</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Below picture state that you will not be charged for the received payment thru Personal transfer.</p>
<p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FeeStructurePayPal21.png" border="0" alt="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee" width="484" height="138" /></p>
<p align="justify">So the rumors that your transaction is now being charge is false, You just have to use it properly so that you will not be charge. I have also included here the screen caption of payments and receipt transaction fees. I hope you will find it informative and if you don&#8217;t have <a href="http://techathand.net/go/payment.php">Paypal account</a> better think of having one because it is one of the tools that you will need if you want to transact online.</p>
<p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/TransactionFeesPayPal11.png" border="0" alt="PayPal Philippines Transaction Fee" width="484" height="184" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wordpress Permalink</strong> is one of the basic factors of <strong>SEO. ( Search Engine Optimization )</strong> . And I will suggest changing the Permalink to a better form while still in the early stage.<br />
Here is a Very brief instruction on how to change Wordpress Permalink :</p>
<ol>
<li>Go To WordPress Dashboard and Look For Settings in the left portion of it.</li>
<li>Then after pressing setting find Permalinks</li>
<li>After Pressing Permalinks you will be lead to Permalink Settings</li>
<li>Press the button for custom structure and put this : /%postname%/</li>
</ol>
<p>This will remove your standard permalinks with ? and Numbers. You might be askign why you should change this, Well Google does not love thos url with ? and numbers.. This is upto now, so if you want to get visitors from search engine better change it now. Youmight be asking why this site does not habe the same, well this is because when I learn about this things it is already late and changing the structure might ruin some of my SEO Effort.</p>
                                                                                <p><center>&copy; Dexter Panganiban - visit the <a href="http://techathand.net">Tech At Hand Dot Net </a> for more great content. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is the <strong>Google Search Option Video </strong>that was provided by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-search-options-and-other-updates.html">Google</a> official blog. </p>

<p>After viewing the video here is my comments and observation :</p>
<p>I believe that this can be done before thru Advance Search option feature of <strong>Google</strong>, they just made it easy for those non techy guys and gals to use Google. Google just made it easy to slice the results into more specific one.</p>
<p>But I must agree that they made it easier. What I am interested is How can we make the post more optimized thru the search snippet. For sure the All In One SEO Pack plug-in will be updated soon. And I just hope that this will not make a major change the <strong>Google Algorithm. </strong>You might want to check my suggestion on <a title="how to increase Blog ranking" href="http://techathand.net/2007/05/how-to-increase-your-blog-ranking/">how to increase Blog ranking</a> .</p>
<p>But anyway thanks to Google for constantly improving the system <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have joined <a rel="nofollow" href="http://chitika.com/publishers.php?refid=techathand" rel="nofollow">Chitika</a> and put their codes in my blog.Their ads only shows in areas such as US , Canada and Europe. Last February 15<sup>th</sup> &#8211; 21<sup>st</sup> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://chitika.com/publishers.php?refid=techathand" rel="nofollow">Chitika</a> made an assessment in my blog which compares to the 50 high-earning Chitika Publishers. And I would like to share you their findings about my SEO in this blog <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Factor 3: U.S. Search Engine Traffic/SEO</strong></p>
<p>Search engine traffic is extremely targeted, and advertisers are willing to pay better for this type of traffic.&#160; People coming to your site from search engines are most often the people who click on ads.&#160; And specifically to Chitika, our Premium ads will only show to this type of traffic!</p>
<p><strong>Your Account&#160; &#8211; 66.95%        <br />Chitika Top Performer Averages &#8211; 46.60%</strong></p>
<p><strong>Awesome &#8211; looks like you are already doing great with your SEO! Even though you are already an &quot;expert&quot; in this area</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Yes you saw it right, I am an expert <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; LOL ,</strong> I cannot believe that top Chitika Publishers is having only 46.60 % percent coming from the search engine. But since my Chitika ads is place somewhere in the bottom of my blog post and not positioned to optimized the ads. I don’t have a very good CTR. In fact it is really very low compared to top 50.</p>
<p><img title="Chitika Says I am Expert in SEO" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="110" alt="Chitika Says I am Expert in SEO" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/chitika.png" width="464" border="0" /></p>
<p>and for the record I have not earn much money from them yet. </p>
<p>I would like to thank <a rel="nofollow" href="http://chitika.com/publishers.php?refid=techathand" rel="nofollow">Chitika</a> for having this kind of study and evaluation. and reminding me to do some work in order to earn from their system.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just learn from Twitter that Google, Yahoo and Microsoft implemented and announces Last week&#160; support for a new link element to clean up duplicate urls on sites. And it is what they called. Canonical Link Element in 5 minutes</p>
<h2>What is Canonical Link ?</h2>
<p>It is a link that will tell Google to index the permalink of your post and not the duplicate content of your post such as follows :</p>
<blockquote><p>http://techathand.net/2009/02/gsma-2009-nokia-ovi-store/page3/</p>
<p>http://techathand.net/2009/02/gsma-2009-nokia-ovi-store/page4/</p>
<p>http://techathand.net/2009/02/gsma-2009-nokia-ovi-store/?asdalsdkjalsjda</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So with the above example it will tell Google to index http://techathand.net/2009/02/gsma-2009-nokia-ovi-store/ and not the other URL mentioned above.</p>
<h2>So What is the Solution ?</h2>
<p>I am not really that fun of installing lots of plug-ins in my site so if I can make it in PHP it will be better. Since the link should be inserted in the head part of the post I made this php code inserted in my header. { It means put it before &lt;/head&gt; part of the header code }</p>
<p> <span id="more-2464"></span>
<p>&lt;link rel=&quot;canonical&quot; href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink() ?&gt;&quot; /&gt;</p>
<p>I think it works since even if I test it my other blog post it still shows the permalink as the canonical link.</p>
<p>But if you don’t want to mess your Header Codes from Wordpress you can install plug-ins. The Yoast Plug-in did not help me since it is clashing with my other plugin and I believe a simple code as shown above works.</p>
