Like any other stuffs in the world, social networks have increased a lot these days. You can submit your own content, find great discussions and chunk in with a lot of traffic. But well not all managed to create a buzz for themselves. So now I am going to talk about Sphinn, a social network for everyone who is involve in internet marketing, SEO, and blogging and so. Sphinn probably is one of my big favorites. It is owned by SEO godfather Danny Sullivan. They are like digg (not as polluted though) wherein you can submit your content. People who like it will sphinn it and those who do not will bury it.

One thing with I like with Sphinn is that it’s very educational and you can learn a lot from it. Before I used to jack up my content there and hope for a share of traffic. When you look at Sphinn, it has a lot of interesting posts there gathered and compiled. Unlike Digg who can easily be gamed, Sphinn prefers to be different. I like the way they nofollow links from the sites that do not hit the frontpage. It’s a great way to measure the quality of the articles. Most of the articles and entries there are about SEO and SEM which I am very interested about.

Oh well… Maybe someday they can release a book with the compilations of the best entries. Just my 2 cents

Thank You Sponsors!

I have been thinking since last week to have a “thank you sponsor” page and since I have sponsors I think this one really worths it. Besides I think they deserve it because they have trusted this site even when this was with no pr before and a little traffic. So I would like to [...]

I have been thinking since last week to have a “thank you sponsor” page and since I have sponsors I think this one really worths it. Besides I think they deserve it because they have trusted this site even when this was with no pr before and a little traffic. So I would like to give them appreciation by making a blog post with a little description w/them.

Ad Blocks

• - FreshBooks is an online invoicing and time tracking service that saves you time and makes you look professional - Fortune 500 professional. I have used it before and it’s highly recommended.
• 
  - is a site that teaches and gives some starting lessons on internet marketing. The site looks a “get rich quick” site but I think this still worths a look.
• - Is a fellow blog that is not a make money online. Instead it focuses on marketing, blog design, blogging tips and SEO. One of the blogs I read before I sleep.
• - A incentive site that pays people to complete offers. They also pay 20% for referral commissions

Text Links

• Top Pick Work From Home - Basically a site of what its name suggests. There are tons of work from home opportunities there so if you feel lazy about having office then this one worths a look.
• Get Paid For Posting - The forum that pays you for posting. It’s a great opportunity for people wanting to earn residual money or startup income.
• Seo Services - Seo company that provides SEO services to those who do not know anything about SEO
• Website Templates - A startup site that is making and designing templates for your website.
• Nursing Board Exam Results - A site with the results of Nursing Board Exams here in Philippines. You might think this one is not related but it is. I am a Filipino and the 4th most country that refers traffic is the Philippines

As you can see not all are advertisers. Some are affiliate links but they are not too many. In the future, I would consider hosting the ads with my own server. I am settinh up Openads now and it should be up by next month. How about you? Do you value your advertisers?

Did You SEO Your Site?

Well going back when this blog was born, one of the things I have planned is to experiment on different stuffs. So the first thing that I did was not to optimize my site for search engines and see if the traffic can still have its way. Basically, at first I don’t really feel optimizing this site much for SE because it’s a personal one and besides I know people will somehow get here. I even remember someone saying “SEO your site dude”. Of course I understand that I must make the most of search engines.

Looking to my Analytics, I saw that the blog had over 800 page views and a very high bounce rate and NO traffic from Search Engines. So what I did last week was tweak my site for search engines. I didn’t really do it fullblast, as I’ve said i’m in the testing mode. This week I was surprised to see that there was a small spike on traffic from search engines. The 0% before turned to 6%. It only means that optimizing really works and it works for the good of your site.

I have seen several blogs with great contents not optimizing their site and I don’t really have anything against them. Who knows they might just be testing the waters too! For those people who do not know it, it’s not really hard actually. You just need to read and usually it’s easier than what most people think. Google loves Wordpress blogs a lot and having a wordpress site is a great booster whatever projects you may have. Joost De Valk has written a very very very great guide on Wordpress SEO.

How about you? Have you completely optimized your site already? Did you SEO it?
