dsc01673“People don’t buy from clowns.” – Claude C. Hopkins

Looks like it took awhile for me before writing something about SEO.

But anyway going back to our show let me tell you about SEO in its context.

SEO is not just basically link-building and content-building.

SEO is also about marketing and advertising your website. And Claude Hopkins was able to create a formula for effective Advertising which he dubbed as Scientific Advertising.

converting the unbelievers

“If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” – (King James Version) Mark 4:23

What I find it really bothering is when you are trying to explain your side with regards to the government being corrupt and the President losing her moral ascendancy to rule and a very huge chance of a dictatorship and all of a sudden the person you’re talking to would blurt out the usual “Who would replace her-they are all corrupt-nobody cares about the country anymore anyway” dialogue.

If I were a priest 2

“You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.” – Teilhard de Chardin

Last night I had another interesting conversation with regards to the priest dilemma.

This time she said that being a priest I must and should respect the sanctity of the confession and must not tell of the “crime” regardless of its nature.

She said: It is like a lawyer and client relationship saying that a lawyer can never implicate its client even though the lawyer already has the knowledge of the admittance of guilt from the client. It is a contract between a client and a lawyer and something that the courts would also adhere to.

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

Why Should You Outsource Your SEO In The Philippines?

By: Carol Bustos-Santiago
Outsourcing has evidently been the smart thing to do for American and European businesses even way before the onset of the global economic turmoil. At the turn of the century, customer service hotlines were directed to developing countries such as the Philippines and India. As a matter of fact, the strong demand for offshore call centers made Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) one of the leading industries in the Philippines today. As wages for professionals soar in an unstable economy, companies in the first world countries realized it would be highly beneficial for them to outsource other aspects of their businesses for obvious cost-effective reasons. In the recent years, web design, copywriting, content editing, search engine optimization and other professional services were sought from the Philippines.

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

Does Google AdSense Affect Rankings?

For all I know Google adsense doesn’t affect ranking, unless your website is a Made for Adsense (MFA) site chances are if you have good content and good number of back links then you are on the safe side of Googles rankings.

But theres a downside in having Google Adsense:

1. Google Adsense have the tendency to steal your customers if you are affiliate marketer.

2. Google Adsense have the tendency to self regulate itself and mark you as spam even if you are really just as innocent as ever.  (I’ve heard lots of fellow SEO Specialist who experienced this problem)
