SEO Pinoy - Search Engine Optimization and Online Marketing

Another popular search engine/webmaster seminar will be held in the next couple of weeks, PubCon Las Vegas 2007. The said event will be held at Las Vegas Convention Center on Dec 4-7. I would love to attend this seminar because I would love to hear new knowledge from people like Matt Cutts, and Guy Kawasaki. I really admire this two guy on how they spread knowledge to the people. Both are very intelligent. For the second time, I cannot attend PubCon again because I want to attend on game development class http://www.gamedesignprograms.com/ which is conflict on my schedule. I will try my best to fix my schedule, besides there is still time left.

The event will be highlighted by keynotes from Craig Newmark(craiglist.org founder), and Matt Cutts(Google’s quality control engineer). In case you haven’t attended any PubCon event, you will learn the personal experience of successful webmasters and some tips on how to be successful. It’s a good start if you want to learn how to be a winner and learn new things around the web. I’ll give more information about the event on my next post, till then.

I just want to greet all SEO and Webmaster in the United States a Happy Thanksgiving Day. We also celebrated this occasion today. We had a great dinner together with my loved ones. Also during thanksgiving day, we also exchange gifts. I received a PC Security Cameras. I’ve always wanted to have this camera to be able to protect myself and our house. What I like about this camera is they have night vision to be able to see intruders even at night.

I think I would upgrade this security cameras into 4 security cameras to be able to monitor the four corners of our house. I also wanted to have a security alarm that is attached this security camera. Also I would like to have a software that can broadcast what is happening outside our house even where outside the house.

I hope you all enjoy your Thanks giving day. Till my next post.

I’ve been away from the SEO world for couple of months now. That is why I haven’t updated this blog often. I’ve been travelling a lot lately and just bought my new Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi which is one of the gadget on my wish list. This digital camera has 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. Perfect for taking pictures of outdoor sports activities.

Ok, going back to the topic. Almost 3 months ago, when I’ve decided to leave my day job and become a freelancer again. I’ve spent 1 year and 3 months on my previous day job as an SEO Specialist before leaving my former company. I can say that most of the time is I’m happy with my previous company because I’ve met lot of talented people that helps me grow and learned a lot from them. I left my former company because the working environment suddenly became unhealthy because of some personal issues that afterwards became the spark plug of a quarrel. Although I’m not involve on this quarelling, but I cannot work efficiently with these people around me. Too much for that.

Now, as a freelancer I’m back again for looking for my own clients, sleeping late at night, and not so stable income. But what I really like as a freelancer is

1. Sleep as long as you want.
2. No boss. Only if you will take jobs per project not per hour
3. You don’t have to travel via PUV. No traffic and fare increase.
4. You don’t have to work atleast 8 hours per day straight and 5 days a week. Ofcourse it’s still depend on you on how long you want to work.
5. Your salary is depends on your effort and hardwork.

Right now I can say that I won’t go back as an employee again. I received few offer from other company looking for an SEO specialist but I decline them. I’m still considering their offers though but not now. Maybe if I got bored again as a freelancer.

While browsing a Business Directory, my friend Joe told me that he experienced a Google ToolBarPageRank (TBPR) and BackLinks (BL) update. And this made many webmasters angry (I guess) because some of the most respected blogs in blogosphere like problogger.net for instance which is somewhat very frustrated on the recent PR update. And according to andy this update was updated again and he made a table on the update.

This update has threatened lot of bloggers and webmaster regarding selling links. Google gave penalty to big time bloggers so that others will follow. And I don’t think this will stop webmaster from buying/selling links just my opinion. Anyway, I need to research about Small Business Credit Cards today. And thats it for now.
