I am Back Into Blogging

May 5, 2009 Make Money Online

Its been a while since I blogged here again in my home site. My very first blog. And I don’t want this to go to waste. Its been a busy month for me, problems do come and go, but I decided to continue blogging here because I know there are some earning potentials through blogging. “Making money online” as others would call it, but I’d consider it “money blogging” because making money online is quite a broad subject. You can earn through freelance programming online, writing articles for websites, online marketing, data entry, SEO work, and the list goes on. “Money blogging” is all about making money through a blog. A lot of sites have already listed out ways you can generate income from your blog, like:

  • Earning from advertisements
  • Paid reviews/posts
  • Paid links

I’m not an expert, and not even a very good writer. So goodluck to me in this new start in money blogging!

Blogging on a Free Webhost

Mar 22, 2009 Make Money Online, Search Engine Optimization

I’ve started a WordPress blog a few weeks ago on a free domain server and free web host provider to try out and see if I can achieve a certain level of SEO success from my Daddy Mike blog. So far, I’ve posted three entries already and everything is going well. I’ve started to optimize one post for the steve vai guitar keyword, and I’ll see if I can get on top of Google for that keyword.

I also posted a how-to for those who also want to set-up a self-hosted WordPress blog without spending a dime!
Here are some of my observations on the free WP blog I’ve created:
  • no 404 not found errors so far
  • the shared MySQL server timed-out a few times already
  • reasonable connection times so far; no unfinished loading on pages
  • few visitors already found the blog
  • not yet tested on sudden surges of traffic
  • support is hard to find, usually in community forums and other blogs
I’m not expecting my new blog to be capable of accomodating thousands of visitors everyday, since even dedicated web servers suffer overload on high traffic sites, but if I earn a reasonable amount from that blog, I’ll have it hosted on a paid server so I can have an assurance of reliable service.
I’ll be posting updates about the growth of my Daddy Mike blog. I’m hopeful I can achieve the least of my goals on it.

Battle of the Backlinks: CarlOcab, Macuha, Jehzlau-Concepts, SELaplana, and BatangYagit – Dot Com Slugfest!

Feb 10, 2009 Make Money Online, Search Engine Optimization


I just learned a few SEO techniques today about backlinks. From what I know, backlinks are like “doors” where the googlebot can enter your site. The more backlinks, more ways for the not-so-creepy crawler to crawl your site. I’ve picked some of the most popular Pinoys (in my humble opinion) that earn money from their blogs. I’ve also linked to their most recent posts so you’ll have an idea of what they write about, if ever you haven’t visited them yet. I know you’ll have your own set of favorite sites, but these are the ones that I frequent. :)


Rank # 5. Macuha.com – Make Money Online Philippines

Rank # 4. BatangYagit.com – A Poor Kid’s Life

Rank # 3. SELaplana.com – Ramblings of an Online Money Maker

Rank # 2. Jehzlau-Concepts.com – Defining the Edge of Abstract Electronic Arts

And the winner is…
Rank # 1. CarlOcab.com – Make Money Online with a 13-Year Old

Backlinks can rrrreeeaaaallllly improve your search engine rankings, which leads to more revenues. More backlinks = higher income!

Why Are There Adsense Ads On My Blog?

Feb 6, 2009 Make Money Online

A very simple question needs a very simple answer: money. Nowadays, nobody can live without money. It is the basic thing that will give you all your needs. So why waste a precious amount of time trying to design a layout and doing all those SEO thingamajigs like all other “i make money from blogging” bloggers? Its all because of money!

Just click on the image above and you’ll see why we’re talking adsense here…


So, Mr Adsense dude, can we really juice you up and squeeze money from you? Apparently, a bunch of other bloggers already did. How do they do it? Well that really depends upon your perception on how making money by blogging works. Most adsensers tell you they get it from search engine traffic, that’s why we have Search Engine Optimization (if you need introduction to SEO, google it). So I just need to start a blog at Blogger dot com, paste in your adsense ads to it, right?

Wrong.

It’s really hardwork and patience. No pain no gain. No money, no honey, no ID no entry (please laugh). I’ve been trying out this trial-and-error method of making money online, well, I’m already making money online thru my work-at-home job, but I’m thinking of online money through blogging. I mean, Internet is my passion; 18 hours a day in front of the computer won’t bore me to death. I like tinkering with code, I like new web trends, I like hacking and all, but I think I can also do what the big guys do.

Especially now, in times of crisis, we should look for alternative ways to make money. And I think online methods of gaining some profit is a very good option, IF you know what you are doing.

I’m not claiming to be an expert online money maker, I’m just like the thousands of problogger-wannabees who like to make money from blogging. I think we’re getting off topic now… We’re talking about adsense right? So adsense, adsense, ADSENSE! Just help us to get rich, Ok?!

What is Wagyu Steak

Jan 30, 2009 Make Money Online


Wagyu Steak? Can anyone guess what that delicacy is? Sounds like food, eh? Yucky? Definitely not, especially if you see it’s price tag. So why are we talking about the wagyu steak? Let’s see some facts:

Based on my research, it is basically made of beef. It is a steak for the elite. President Obama served it at a cocktail party. And it costs: a whooping $100 per serving! So why blog about the wagyu steak? 
I’m just trying to hijack this keyword for today and maybe get some Google money from it. :)

My First $0.18 from AdSene

Oct 4, 2008 Make Money Online

Its been almost 1 month since I started blogging here at my main blog. I also have side projects like Pinoy Blog Payouts and my WordPress and Blogge r themes. But as of now, I’d want to stick to my personal blog and aim first to earn $1. :)

Let’s see how much I can earn from blogging. I’m not really thinking of leaving my full-time job and earn the bucks from blogging, I just wanted to prove to myself that you can really buy something valuable from blogs. If I’ll earn enough, I’ll buy my wife a cool gift!
