Blogging on a Free Webhost

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.

Smart Bro Hacks

Smart Bro: How to hack it?

I’ve recently been experiencing some problems with Smart Bro lately, specifically my internet connection is being disconnected. I don’t know if other Smart Bro users have experienced the same problems as I do, but what I heard is that a lot of people are also disappointed with the Smart Bro service. That’s why people are trying to hack the Smart Bro Wifi internet service. But how do they do it?


Some hacks to increase the speed of the Smart Bro internet is to change some settings with the canopy (if you still have the canopy antenna). Others use certain software to change the settings on how the antenna connects to the internet. I haven’t tried out these things yet but you can search them, they’re just around the net.

Does Smart Bro suck? For me, I’ve just been experiencing this problems now but Smart Bro here in our location seems to be a fairly good internet service provider. I just hope they have an upgrade to increase the speed of my internet.

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


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
