JC, Doug and Macky saying goodbye to the Blue Eagle gallery.

It was a good fight. Thanks for the ride :)

More Game 3 pics from Philip Sison and the other Fabilioh.com sport shooters.

I had to rush from Eastwood to Greenbelt for the 1st ever Philippine Blogcon last Monday. Driving from QC to Makati at 6 PM on a rainy Monday afternoon is not pleasant! :) James, Jenny and Sorsi (see her Friendster blog hehe) from Globe Innove were the best hosts! Sorsi will be the next Xiaxue! :)

I thought the raffle after our presentations was the real highlight of the night (Jayvee, Abe and Noemi and I had a few minutes to share some blogging info/tips). Everyone was up and moving after that.

Now, let the mutual admiration club session begin:

I was fortunate to have witnessed Gec Chia’s shot against UE live. I thank the Lord for the chance to scream my head off inside Araneta again courtesy of the game-winning play by Doug Kramer/Norman Black against UST yesterday.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compare that with the other keyword ranking contests before:

• Results 1 - 10 of about 1,020,000 for isulong seoph
• Results 1 - 10 of about 730,000 for v7ndotcom elursrebmem
• Results 1 - 10 of about 643,000 for Hommingberger Gepardenforelle
• Results 1 - 10 of about 123,000 for nigritude ultramarine
• Results 1 - 10 of about 38,500 for redscowl bluesingsky

I know for a fact that John Scott’s contest reached over a million3 million pages. I’m just curious how fast the decline was.

So is Isulong SEOPH the biggest SEO contest? - what was I thinking? :)

Fight Blue and White!

In 6 months time, I would like to:

• become an advanced Omniture SiteCatalyst™ user and get conversions up a few significant percentage points
• get Google Adwords Professional certification
• get Yahoo! Search Marketing Ambassador certification
• attend SES San Jose
• get a new theme for this blog
• organize the first SEO Philippines Beercon

Feels like a rebirth of sorts. I’ve left the familiarity and routine of the company I’ve called home for the past four years. It’s a pain to leave friends behind, but the future holds so much promise that I’m sure our paths will cross again in the very near future.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

That should explain the blog hiatus. Now back to our regular SEO programming.

Twas fascinating. I got to meet Abel, Mikey, Jolo, Ajay, Von, Janette (link loves to follow) and a lot of other Filipino bloggers. I also met some interesting people from FBM Software.

The organizers should hold these types of summits thrice a year! I absolutely will treasure the certificate they gave me.

During the Problogging session, a gentleman sitting in front asked a very interesting question about blog niche selection. I thought I’d expound on that more.
