EDSA is dead! Long Live EDSA!

edsa_revolution_pic1

As usual the same old story over and over again, the EDSA commemoration went on as if nothing happened after having its supposed holiday changed from wednesday to monday. And after the liar President-soon-to-be-remembered-as-the-most-hated spewed some really maligning words towards People Power which she herself benefited from, she calls for stability (of her government that is) of the country rather than showing to investors and other cuntries how unstable our political system is.

Come to think of it, her words are prophetic as it would seem that the only stable thing that has been steadily growing is her continued rise in disatisfaction from the people.  I doubt if she even has the gall to live after 2010.

Here comes EMO!

2040157828_2c030a8d55
The term EMO is derived from its root word Emotion whereas it became the overcoming trend nowadays with the youth. The usual get-up would be as follows:

A disheveled hair usually with some long bangs on the front and standing hair strands at the back either with the use of a styling gel or hair wax), all black apparel for men and women, tons and tons of eyeliner, an appaling almost seemingly defeated look and a downward turning of the head towards left or right or front, black lipstick, black gloves, and a huge black handkerchief on the neck and their black skateboards.

The Philippine Presidentiables

cowboy

A friend of mine who has connections with research firms in the country told me that whenever agencies asks research firms to make a study on possible presidentiables they still include the name of the former President Estrada and surprisingly he always win unanimously whether in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. 

So whether he runs or blesses another candidate to run under his banner is something worth watching out, but then again there’s the issue of cheating using generals and the commission on elections itself by the incumbent government.

On the other hand who are the next possible presidentiables?

On stealing a musicians soul

Picture borrowed from here

Its’ 2 am and I am about to go to sleep when I read and listened about Mr. Gary Granada’s complaint against GMA 7 a leading media network in the country and which I also once became part of.

I listened to his 14 minute complaint and presentation through the internet and I have to say without batting an eyelash that he has more than enough reason to file a case against the network.

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)

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.
