SEO Pinoy - Search Engine Optimization and Online Marketing

In the last 4 days, I’m having a problem with Godaddy domain registration services. And by far the worst customer service I’ve experienced in my 3 years in webmaster business. First I register a domain then I’ve changed the nameservers of the domain. After that I’ve wait for atleast 24 hours. After 24 hours, I tried to email their customer support asking about the status of my domain and what do I get in return, I received a f*cking ready made answer about changing the nameserver. What the f*ck, I said in my mind. I’ve tried to be nice to them and still reply to their email explaining that I’m not stupid that I don’t know how to change the nameserver. Again they replied to my email and they told me that to contact my hosting company regarding the issue. I know for a fact that it’s not my hosting that has problem but their domain service because my namecheap account is working perfectly on my host. I just input my nameserver and it works after few hours. In my part I don’t recommend Godaddy domain registration service.

Too much about the rant on Godaddy’s domain registration service. So what I’ve done is to find an alternative. While searching for similar service I’ve found DomainExpress.co.uk. DomainExpress.co.uk offers Domain Name registration service. Here’s their Price List if you’re interested to register a domain. Just don’t forget to read it’s Terms if you want to use their service. It’s very important that you have other alternatives because if things went bad, you still have other domain registrar that you can transfer your domain.

Server I.P. according to some SEO experts it is important that your server I.P. is important in order to rank in SERPs to specific location. If you want to target UK Search Engine traffic it is important to have a Hosting UK. My client is trying to target UK visitors, and I want to find a Cheap Web Hosting without sacrificing the reliability and the quality.

I’ve found freezone.co.uk while searching for a good UK host. According to testimonials I’ve read in webmaster forums according to their services. And they gave really positive ratings about their services. They even recommend it’s Web Design services. I will introduce this UK Webhost to my client and I’ll give you more testimonials after a month or so.

First, I would like to mention the new Paypal layout today, and it looks nice. And going back to the topic, you can earn as much as $1,000 through their referral program. It’s another opportunity to earn money online. Since according to Charles you can now withdraw your Paypal Philippines money through Unionbank EON. You can now start exploiting the window of opportunity that Paypal offers. By just referring someone to signup for Paypal Business, or Merchant account you can 0.5% of their payment volume.

With these opportunity given by Paypal, I can now do some business in Ebay or other affiliate program of jewelry store. I heard that selling jewelry online is a good resource of income. That is why I’ve already reserch about jewelry tips online. Paypal Philippines is now fully working and you can withdraw your Paypal money now directly to your bank account. Although I still haven’t used my EON card but my VISA credit card works for withdrawal, in this way I can pay for my credit card bills from my Paypal Philippines Account because HSBC doesn’t issue overpayment check according to their agent which I recently talked to via phone.

While browsing the internet, looking for SEO Los Angeles website, I received an email from one of the domain registrar company that I’m using to register my website. And I thought their only the one increased their prices. But I’m wrong, all of the domain registrar company that I’m using to register my website increases their price as well. Now I regret that I didn’t renew some of my domains earlier when the domains only cost max of $7.95. For webmaster who have 5-10 blogs this is not a problem but for domain owner like me who have atleast 100 domains on their portfolio that would cost me atleast $200/year. But that doesn’t stop there because I’m planning to buy another 100+ domain next year and on the later year.

What will happen next? I guess this might be a trend in the next few years. So if ever I’ve experienced another price increase in the next few months or years, I would probably renew all my domains maybe extend it for 5-10 years. Also I noticed that a .info increased it’s registration price as well. Luckily I’m not a fan of .info TLD. Maybe this implementation happened because sometimes there are lot of spammers using a .info domain to spam the internet and make money out of it. I guess it’s a good move, agree?

There are lot of available SEO keywords suggestion tool right now. This time I’ll review another tool that might be useful to your SEO campaign or in building your website.

I came across this website while stumbling for another keyword suggestion tool,Wordze . Because we we’re building new website that is related to jobs and employment. As I’ve mentioned on my previous articles, keywords are the foundation of any website in order to rank on search engines and get traffic. Using keyword suggestion tool is a must because you need to make sure that you know what are the most popular keywords on your target niche. If you’re not familiar with using this tool, watch this video tutorial on how to use their Search Engine Optimization Tools.

Good thing that they provide trial membership. So you don’t have to pay the full $35 monthly subscription until you’re convinced with their tool. Luckily I was asked to review the tool. What I like about this tool, its not the typical keyword suggestion tool. Probably the best keyword suggestion tool because they offer lots of tools. You can be sure that your paying for a good tool/service. Overall, I would say it’s a must to subscribe on this service. For $35/month, it’s cheap compare to the money you will generate if you will use this tool.

Recently I noticed new form of payment in my Adsense account. I’m glad to know that after numerous Adsense check scam happening in the post office. Google released another form of payment to the Filipino Adsense publisher. All Filipino Adsense publisher can now received their payment from Adsense via Western Union. I’ll list the advantage of these new features by Google Adsense Program.

1. It’s Free. You don’t have to pay for the Western Union Fee.
2. It’s Fast. Unlike Secured Express Delivery you will have to wait for 3rd – 5th day of the month. Western Union Quick Cash will be available for pickup in any Western Union Agent that offers Quick Cash.
3. It’s Safe. We have seen numerous scams happening in our post office regarding encashing the check by our corrupt post office employees without the knowledge of the real owner of the check.
4. It’s convenient. Western Union Agent are scattered all over the country. This makes it more accessible for Filipino Adsense Publisher. Also you don’t need a bank account to maintain a certain balance to encash your check. This is an advantage for Filipino Adsense Publisher outside metro manila. You don’t need a dollar or peso account to be able to get your money directly to your pocket.

Here are the steps to claim your Adsense money from Western Union. You just need to bring these:

- a valid government-issued photo ID (Passport, Driver’s license, National ID etc)
- sender’s information: Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. Phone Number: 650-253-4000
- amount of your payment, which you can find on your Payment History page
- your unique MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) which you can find by clicking on the ‘details’ link next to the Payment Issued line on your Payment History page

I’ve already made changes on the forms of payment in my Google Adsense account. In general, it’s a good development for Google Adsense program. Two thumbs up for Google Adsense program. For more information regarding this new form of payment visit this FAQ.

Haven’t updated this blog for quite a while because lots of work and distraction. I’m still facing the same problem right now but I’m trying to free some time to continue my blogging here. Today I will review a webmaster website that could help you save some money while not suffering the quality. While browsing over the internet searching for some online coupons, I’ve found a HostGator Coupon website. If you want an updated coupons for HostGator try to subscribe on their RSS Feeds.

HostGator is the one of the most reliable web hosting I’ve tried next to Godaddy IMO. Based on experienced it’s wise to have atleast 2 server for your websites because you need a back up server in case your other server is down for some reason. Right now there are other web hosting company that offer cheaper rates but always consider the reliability of the service. Right now I recommend Godaddy and HostGator. Although I have some issues last 2 months about HostGator hosting but they’re still reliable. I hope there would be another company that would offer a cheap and reliable hosting like Godaddy and HostGator so that we could choose more available hosting. Till my next post.

Good News to all Filipino out there that’s been waiting for Paypal Philippines to be fully functional. Meaning if you have a Paypal Philippines account you can now received/send payments. This is a great development for Filipino that’s working for a foreign company or individual that outsources their work to Filipino webmaster/SEO/content writer.

You only need a working Mastercard or VISA debit/credit cards to withdraw your money from your Paypal Philippines account. According to reliable sources a UnionBank EON or Security Bank CashLink Plus are the only available debit card to withdraw your Paypal Philippines money. I’ve already tried BDO International ATM/Debit Card which has MasterCard logo on the card and Paypal Philippines doesn’t accept it. My HSBC VISA credit card is working to withdraw my Paypal Funds. But the problem is how I can withdraw directly to my pocket in cold cash. According to this resource this is what happen if you withdraw funds from your credit card.

The funds will appear as a credit on your credit card account/statement. You can choose to apply this credit against your credit card account balance or you may choose to withdraw the funds, if your bank permits.

For now I’ll explore more options like creating a US Bank Account. I think that’s my best option right now since I know someone in US that can create a US Bank account for me. I’ll update this blog if ever I’ve found a working Debit/Credit card that I can used to withdraw my Paypal payments.
