Do a search for ‘philippines’. Notice the following:
- WOW Philippines Homepage - guess even .GOV domains can’t be trusted these days. Notice how the official Philippine government tourism site (www.tourism.gov.ph) has been tagged with the ‘This site may harm your computer’ warning label. Hey Matt can you help us out?
- News results for Philippines - funny Google News headlines: ‘Philippines midterm elections declared relatively peaceful’ followed by ‘Violence Reported in Philippines Elections’. Notice also why none of the major Philippine dailies made it to the Google News onebox. One more reason why companies like the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin and Philippine Star need to focus less on redesigns and more on search optimization.
- Sponsored links - see Aileen Apolo’s personal PPC campaign in action here, here and here. Wonder how much her daily budget and max CPC is.
