3 Tips For Creating a Google-Friendly Site
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If there is one audience out there that you want to impress with your site, it’s gonna be Mr. G.
Why?
Simply because Google is the King of all search engines. No, not the king but THE EMPEROR!
According to the latest report by Experian Hitwise, Google accounted for 71.43 percent of all U.S. searches conducted in the four weeks ending Aug. 1, 2010. While Yahoo! Search, Bing and Ask received 14.43 percent, 9.86 percent and 2.32 percent, respectively.
Based on this report, there’s no denying that Google is still the undefeated King of all Kings of Search Engines.
And when the “emperor” talks, everybody listen. This is the reason why we need to make our blog/website a Google-friendly site. Even the famous internet marketing genius, John Chow, bowed down to Google when his site was banned by the emperor.
There’s no other way to be a Google-friendly site but to follow the pointers that Google posted on their Webmaster’s tool site.
Here are the 3Tips for Creating a Google-friendly Site and Achieve Good Rankings.
1. Give visitors the information they’re looking for. Contents, good contents, quality contents. Make sure your site or blog contains useful information specially the home page. Provide unique content that is worth reading to your readers.
Encouraged, engaged, influenced your readers! Give them what they want.
2. Make sure that other sites link to yours. Links, good links, quality links. Are you familiar with the famous line “No man is an island”? Do you know the meaning of it? It means man cannot live alone. This is the same with a blog or a web site, you can’t make it without other linking to you. Links help search engines to find your site.
Make sure that you are getting natural links. Avoid participating in a link exchange schemes and Read more
Working During Non-Working Day
Today is National’ Heroes Day in the Philippines. It commemorates the celebration of the national heroes. This day falls every last Monday of August. The president of the land usually declares this day as a non-working – meaning it’s a vacation day!
Unfortunately, I was not able to take advantage on this so-called vacation day. I was asked to report in our office. To make it fair to everybody, we were all called to report including our bosses.
We are actually fast tracking the re-launching of our new system. Sorry, I can’t divulge it yet for now but it has to something to do with short messaging system and email services.
Being the most senior software consultant of the company, our president gave me the tasked to look for a solution on how are we going to upgrade the servers of our systems.
Currently, our servers are located on two separate providers. Our main server is colocated here in the Philippines and the other server is in Europe since most of our clients are there. We have a 1/2 half rack colocation space which we are renting out in Manila while our server in Netherlands is being managed by other people.
During our informal discussion, I recommended that we need to look for another web hosting provider so we can have additional backup for our projects.
By the way, our system is currently processing 600,000 emails per month. We are projecting that this will past the 1 million mark in two months time. Ever since we started our company (yes, I’m one pioneers), we already decided that all our servers must be managed by an enterprise level service providers. Having a managed hosting setup like this, we can concentrate in developing our projects instead of worrying about the network infrastructure.
It’s already midnight here and yet I’m still busy looking and searching for another provider, most probably based in Canada or USA because we have plans to expand our business in North America. I’m not the hero type person but my boss told me that I need to submit my report tomorrow at 3PM during our meeting or else we can’t get a bonus for our project,

From Free to Paid Projects
Wow. Time flies so fast.
My last post was a week ago. I was busy in setting up 2 new websites this past week.
The first project is a website for a non-profit organization. I actually volunteered to this group to setup their website for free.
Yup, you’ve read it right! It’s free.
During our first meeting, after I discussed with them on how to setup their website from choosing the appropriate domain name for their organization and looking for the best web hosting provider, I was a bit surprised when one of their officers took out a credit card from her wallet and quickly told me to registered their domain name right away.
Since we were online, we registered their preferred domain and after that we search for the web host provider. Before we signed up, I gave them the time to read some of customer’s web hosting review on the web host provider that they have chosen.
We ended our meeting with their website setup already.
The 2nd website which I’m doing is a paid one. Actually, this new client was referred to me by one of the directors of the first project that I’ve done. I would say that it’s a God given project. I was not really expecting this project.
I was in Bohol for a vacation when this new client called and wants me to re-designed their existing website. She told me that I was referred by one of her friends. Of course, I gladly accepted the project. You see, voluntarism does have benefits too!
20th Payment From Adgitize
July 2010 payment from Adgitize is my 20th already.
I was planning to rephrase the title of this post to – “Received a Gross Profit of $403.87 from Adgitize“.
I’ll tell you why.
I just came back from Bohol and upon browsing my emails I saw the payment notification from PayPal . It’s not really big in comparison to other members. I’m just so happy to know from Adgitize founder, Ken Brown, when he pointed out on his blog that it’s my 20th payment already. I was not even aware of it until Ken mentioned it.
So I’d checked my earnings on Adgitize dashboard and here’s what I saw on the Payment Page (I deleted the date and payment method to shorten the post):
Payment Amount: 13.55
| Payment Amount: 14.29 |
| Payment Amount: 12.81 |
| Payment Amount: 14.35 |
| Payment Amount: 10.22 |
| Payment Amount: 12.63 |
| Payment Amount: 23.28 |

Setup a Website For Free
I had an early meeting this morning with a group of people who are about to launch their website. The funny thing is, they really don’t have any website yet. They are still planning for it.
To give you some background, I’ve learned about this group last week when I heard on the radio that they’re launching a “values formation” organization. To give you a hint, these people are some of the major movers who campaigned for the new president of the Philippines P-Noy. I won’t divulge their name yet but I’ll do that in the next few days.
When I heard on the radio that they are still planning to put up a website, I readily send an SMS to the person being interviewed by the radio announcer that I want to volunteer my services. Of course I didn’t receive any reply right away but after some few hours, I think it was one of their leader who responded to my SMS and they want to make me involve in putting up their website.
And so I’ve met with them this morning.
I presented to them the steps on how to put up a website from Read more
