Brown SEO – Adobo Recipe (Yum)

29 Sep 2008 by SEO Philippines, No Comments »

(Just found this pic on the net kudos to the photographer)

Recently I’ve been enjoying my stay in my place for the past three months if not for the heat (because I live at the topmost floor of the apartments). I am recently enjoying learning how to cook my own food! I’ve been eating roasted chicken via the oven toaster of my GF and It was good! I have been experimenting on different recipes for my chicken and I have even bought brown and red rice (together) as my source of carbs and it felt good having to eat something out of the sweat of your brow.

I mean I worked for it and I toiled for it so its just just right to enjoy it harhar anyway, I’ve been having a number of good reviews from my original recipe for roasted chicken but I have yet to find my perfect taste for it tsk tsk…

for now what I have been doing is marinating chicken breasts in condiments such as follows:

Ground pepper
Iodized Salt
Basil leaves
Sukang Pinakurat/Toyo (Spicy Vinegar/Soy)
Kikkoman Soy Sauce
Worcesterchire Sauce

Sometimes I interchange the dressing from worcestershire sauce to just kikkoman soy sauce. :)

You just place it in the oven toaster and wait for 45 minutes and voila you’re done!

But now I have a new dish that I am fond of cooking and that is ADOBO!

Yep from chicken adobo to pork adobo to gizzard adobo! I just love it, cooking has become my new hobby and I hope I excell in it!

I bought a book from national bookstore and its called “The adobo book” and it was fun to know that indeed there are lots of recipes for cooking the same adobo, in fact in almost every tribe, dialect, region, religion in our country there is a distinct way of cooking adobo.

I’ll try to post some recipe’s here when I have the time and i hope the authors don’t mind. But anyway cooking adobo is as easy as counting sheep or better yet goats (because sheeps are rare in the country) hehehe

Here’s my premiere adobo for starters:

Brown SEO-Adobo

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo Pork Kasim (cut in squares)
10 pcs chicken gizzard
1/2 cup soy sauce (silver swan)
1/2 cup white vinegar (silver swan)
2 garlic heads crushed with skin
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground peppercorn
1 tbsp brown sugar
3 pcs bay leaf/laurel leaf
1/2 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon (my signature move)

HOW:

Marinate the meat in soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, cinnamon, peppercorn, laurel leaves for 12 – 24 hours the longer it is marinated the more flavorful the meat becomes.

Simmer the meat with the sauce and water for 30-40 minutes, (note: never ever open the lid let the vinegars acid set in or else you will ruin the taste and it will taste too acidic) set aside the meat and tha sauce and place fry the garlic til brown and fry the meats til brown, afterwards, place the remaining sauce and let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes open lid in the last 10 minutes if you want it dry. Add lots of fat and skin at the bottom if you really want it to be thick. (forget about the extra calories sometimes you have to give in to the food hehehe but anyway if you want it healthy you can foget about the one I mentioned above instead place some cornstarch).

Now you thought it is already ready? tsk tsk tsk guess what the best part still has yet to come you better wait til tomorrow to eat it so it will taste better and don’t worry about its shelf life because the vinegar works as a natural preservative. :)

So be patient!

Now come following day it is best served with stemed rice and beer (ermmm) Iced tea hehehe

So wan’t to taste some of my adobo? hmm…?

=p

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.

To make it, let alone survive, in the digital age, you have to exist in cyberspace. This is precisely the reason why businesses, whatever the scale, and individual professionals resort to building websites to get the word out on their products and/or services. The work does not end with merely building websites. Maintenance and promotion of these sites are the key ingredients toward gaining an audience and, more importantly, customers. This is where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in.

According to PayScale, the annual salary of an SEO Specialist in the United States as of July 2010 ranges from $32,370 to $52,441. The figures are derived from considering education, knowledge and experience, benefits, and profit sharing options. At these rates, the job of an SEO Specialist is solely confined to that of his/her core responsibilities: analysis and application of changes to websites for optimization for search engines, keyword identification for SEO implementation, and conceptualization of strategic methods for search engine ranking improvements.

It is but sheer common sense for website owners from first world countries to seek the very crucial SEO services in the Philippines. BPOs in the country market the skills of their SEO Specialists as cheap as PhP 15,000 (approximately $327) per month, plus office fees and benefits. Then, there is the option of hiring a freelance SEO specialist via online marketplaces or SEO forums. Freelance SEO in the Philippines cost a maximum of $10 per hour. Without the office fees and benefits (and the strings attached with opting for BPOs), SEO freelancers are even cheaper. Many freelance SEO Specialists in the Philippines offer packaged services. Aside from the “regular” SEO services mentioned above, most of them offer providing content for the websites they are to promote. That saves the companies between $32, 500 and $35,000 annually that they usually shell out for content editors.

Big savings, all-around website service plus near-native English proficiency. There is no reason for companies worldwide not to invest in SEO in the Philippines.

Carol Bustos-Santiago is a Manila-born Offsite Content Editor based in California. Childhood dreams of being a diplomat urged her to complete a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Studies Major in European Languages from De La Salle University. However, the tainted politics, both in the local and international arenas, developed her aversion from a career she once believed is right for her.

An opportunity to provide web material for a travel website through a Business Process Outsourcing company awakened her love for writing from its long slumber. Before she knew it, she was engaging herself in a profession that once toyed in her head as a child.

Her role as an Offsite Content Editor for an Internet Marketing firm has allowed her to broaden her knowledge of copywriting/editing, business industries and the Internet itself. She has written website content, press releases and other materials for companies of various industries.

Due to the technical nature of her job, she maintains a number of blogs where she can unleash the creative writer in her. One of which is InadvertentlyDomesticated.com, a brainchild she shares with her sister, which ultimately imparts their (mis)adventures as women whether in marriage, parenting, friendship or life, in general. With the goal of building a community in mind, it has published various contributions about motherhood, domestic duties, career and recipes, to name some, from its readers.

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)

3.  And lastly Google Adsense sometimes doesn’t show relevant ads.  (And just like how Facebook changes its interface every now and then we are left with no choice in this)

The way I see it being unpredictable has always been the strength of Google other wise everyone would be as rich as them hahaha

Aspiring Philippine Presidential Candidates using the power of the internet and websites in their campaign

Aspiring Philippine Presidential Candidates using the power of the internet and websites in their campaign

dsc0167323There’s a war going on.

It is a war of information while leveraging the power of the internet in giving that information as fast and reliable to each and everyone’s desktops.

And now this war has finally come at the doorsteps and the attention of running Presidential candidates in the Philippines.

It is no secret that the power of the internet played a dramatic role in the campaign of Senator Chiz Escudero following the number of contacts and traffic he got from his social networking sites (friendster, facebook, etc) not to mention the direct traffic from his website and the simple link that catapulted him in today’s youth.

Senator Chiz Escudero and his team was intelligent enough to asses that the power of the internet surpasses their realtime campaign as it gives them a 24 hour advantage in terms of information and reputation building amongst the youth and the people.

While other forms of media are still available and are still effective such as (radio, T.V. and print) the following offers valuable information at a certain given time as compared to the power of the internet where one can look and digest information as long as they want and that what gives the internet the leverage.

TIME that is the mortal enemy of the candidate and not their competition.

Time to clean their names in the information war going on in the internet.
Time to place their credentials and platforms on the table so more people would vote for them.
Time to bury their opponents in the internet search minefield.

Looking at the recent U.S. elections where information are passed in the internet left and right some defaming Barack Obama others creating the wrong doings of John McCain and his party while utilizing the power of youtube in doing so by exchanging ads and speeches to the houses of the future voters.

These candidates used the power of the internet, and they used SEO’s for this one.

So you see Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not only about making your websites rank in the search engines, (other than being dirt cheap and extremely powerful) it is also about giving information that would help you get into office as well as getting rid of the bad information readily available to malign your name and your candidacy.

So get an seo specialist NOW!

I hope you get the message clear.

And by the way Didn’t Chiz Escudero and Barack Obama won landslide victories in their respective candidacies?

So if you want to know how to utilize the power of the internet ASK ME.

What is SEO?
