PPC observations and website monetization programs
I used to equate pay per click (PPC) programs success to the traffic of my blogs. The more visitors my site receives, the more money I can generate from google adsense or bidvertiser. My conception was however proven wrong these past few months. My showbiz blog, TelebabadQueen.com actually used to get a lot of visitors (thanks to the Marimar mania). It shows a page impression of 800 to 1000 plus. My online jobs site, on the other hand, Jobzonline only registers less than 150 page impressions a day. Nevertheless, Jobzonline earns far more than telebabadqueen. The reason? Page Ecpm. Telebabad Queen’s page Ecpm can be as lower than one dollar.
I have therefore wanted to try other website monetization programs to see if they can work with my high traffic blogs with low PPC income. Yesterday, I have signed up for what people popularly call “pay per play”. I still have to go through the tutorial today so I can understand the program better and hopefully earn more money from url’s of my blogs. What made me sign up is the fact that my visitors need NOT make any click for me to earn from the program. Based on web-audio-ads.net’s video, visitors merely have to listen to a 5 seconds audio and that is it. I hope that this concept will help me maximize the number of visitors that I receive in my sites.

Is it wise to spend PhP 6K for a make money online seminar?
Pinoyblogero has blogged about his and other bloggers’ opinions about the 6,000 peso make money online seminar. Here are my reasons why I too will not attend a seminar that charges that amount to teach people how to earn money online:
I have free and better alternatives to paying 6000 to learn how to make money online. Attending bloggers fellowships like the Mindanao blogger summit is one of the best and guaranteed ways to learn how to make money online. I got a list of some online jobs during the October MBS1. I also met bloggers who gave me inputs on how I can monetize my websites. I do not only get inputs from people who really earn online, I also get to meet new friends.
Why pay when I can google for ways to make money online? In fact, I have an online jobs blog where I have compiled a list of online jobs and ways on making money online that I have found in other sites and forums.
The organizers of the seminar may have good intentions but PhP 6,000 for a make money online seminar tackling adsense, affiliate marketing and paid blog reviews is just too expensive. It is like buying a 6,000 peso book that I have the option to borrow from my friends.I believe that this particular seminar is targeted for those who are not yet familiar with the online economy but I hope that before people register to attend this seminar, they will realize that what will be presented in the seminar may be already available online. They just need the patience to find ways how they can make money online. They also need some logical thinking to understand that not everyone who embarks in earning online will be as financially successful as Abe Olandres and yeah, the self proclaimed dot com mogul. Of course, they also need to have some common sense to avoid getting ripped off by scammers that lurk in the world wide web.

SEO Tips and Tricks from a Web Content Writer
One of the perks of writing for people who are into SEO is that you get to learn how these people implement search engine optimization. I have been writing for people who are into SEO and I was able to glean some SEO tips and tricks that I have applied in my blogs.Here are some of the SEO tips and tricks that I have learned as a web content writer:
1. Originality of article is very important. Never copy or plagiarize contents from other sites because search engines like google and yahoo skip duplicate contents so it will be much easier for them to index websites.
2. Write about things with lesser keyword competition. You have higher chances of dominating the search engines if you write about things that few or no people has written about yet. I have applied this in this site with my How to Remove the Funny UST Scandal AVI Virus post and so far this has been effective. This also applies to my Philippine election blog because I started blogging about the 2007 Philippine elections when few people has made posts about it. You can make use of keyword variance if you prefer a particular topic to write about.
3. Optimize your article and title for SEO. Your title should not only be catchy but should include your main keyword. As for you article, make sure that you have sufficient number of words (preferred number of words is 400) and good number of paragraphs (usually 3 to 5 paragraphs are preferred). The main keyword also needs to be included in the first few sentences of your article. Related keywords should be included in your article.
- Note: There are people who overstuff their articles with keywords but 3 to 4 related keywords in the article will do for niche sites with a number of keyword related articles. As for the “required” number of articles in a niche site, 20 to 26 keyword related articles are often prescribed.
4. Spam. I mean spam legally and with that, I mean submitting an article with your link to ezinearticles.com and different versions of your article to article submission sites. You can use article spinning tools to make this easier.
While some of these SEO tips and tricks really did wonders to my websites, I still have to do some blog experiment to determine the feasibility of the other SEO tactics.
