Week-end Roundup

A lot of little nitty-gritty details in one blog entry summary:

  • My WordPress Image Hack managed to land a mention in BloggingPro. It’s highly likely that I was the first one to create the hack for WordPress. (I highly doubt some copycat got the hack somewhere else. Again no links for him.)
  • First time in 17 months of running Google AdSense that I got past the $100 barrier in just a month.
  • Just added a section to my blog and called it “Press”, listing down some worthwhile press news of me and several of my online projects.
  • My StudioTraffic account paid off! Kumpareng Alwell has been receiving his for a couple of months now.
  • My blog now tops Google’s search results for the word “Yuga” something quite hard to get especially if it’s a popular Indian term.
  • I missed 9Rules NetworksRound 2 of blog submissions. Maybe next time. 9Rules is a network blog, almost similar to what we’re doing with Pinoyblog, only that they’re a bit picky with blog submissions.

      First day of school, I wrote this on the whiteboard for my Web Authoring Class:

      Plagiarize and expect a failing grade from me. or worst, grounds for their dismissal.

      My studes knows it would make their life easier to fail a quiz or two ’cause they forgot to study, than to copy someone’s work (may it be an answer sheet or a webpage).

      kuya abe napirata ka na naman! talagang marami pang mal-edukado sa w3, isama mo na sa issue na yan sa susunod na iBlog-con, diba? bloggers need to do something about this.

      @fleeb - hahaha uunga, kaso nakalagay sa diploma ata “nun” University of Recto.

    5. Gravatar Icon retzwerx replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 2:13 pm (5)

      sakin naman yung “retz” jusme german and belgian ang kalaban ko when i started blogging i was in the 11th page. 1 month after 5th page kaka-check ko lang ngayon nasa 1st page na 5th query result nyahaha, malapit-lapit na sa numero uno. As for retzwerx hehe walang prob.

      @jaypee - get ka na ng [dot]com kay kuya abe, medyo pinapabagal ng TK domain ang load ng site mo.

      @fleeb - nga pla andun na yung request mo na poop-to-graph, hehe

    6. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 7:03 pm (6)

      @retz,

      So far isa lang naman ang ka competensiya ko na Fleeb sa Google. Nag e-mail na ako sa kanya noong HS pa lang ako tapos sabi niya naisip niya lang ang pangalan, meanwhile nick ko talaga yun from my name. Pero ok lang no conflicts naman.

    7. Gravatar Icon yuga replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 8:49 pm (7)

      @ Fleeb

      Naku, wag nya sabihin nag Ateneo din sya! hehehe :D

      @ Retz

      Nabasa ko pinag-usapan nila yung mga changes sa ginaya nila sa blog ko. Damn, it’s the Internet. Don’t they know it’s public? ;)

      @ Jaypee

      Kakaiba talaga. Nabuking na inulit pa. hehehe :D

    8. Gravatar Icon hoop replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 9:39 pm (8)

      @retz

      masmataas ranking mo sa yahoo, salutatorian ka doon… link na rin kita sa blog ko para madagdagan google-points mo…

      @yuga

      1 & 2 ka doon, valedictorian na salutatorian pa…

      hehehe :-)

    9. Gravatar Icon Jaypee replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 10:05 pm (9)

      sa Google, #2 ako so that makes me a salutatorian..pero sa Yahoo pang #120 lang ako, hahaha.

      @abe - ano ba url nung copycat? gusto ko makita. pwede ba domain lang kunin sa Ploghost? how much is it? :D

    10. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 10:26 pm (10)

      @Jaypee

      Yep, pwede domain lang sa plogHost. Yung cost depende sa TLD. Kung tipong .com, .org, at .net 600 pesos a year.

      Ay, about sa copycat, ayaw naming ilagay yung link niya dito baka dumami lang readers niya pam-publicity hehehe. E-mail na lang kung gusto mo hehe :)

    11. Gravatar Icon Migs replied on Jul 3rd, 2005 at 10:58 pm (11)

      now that’s the adsense master! me… i’m catching up :) hits have increased even tho I didn’t change anything.

    12. Gravatar Icon retz replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 2:10 am (12)

      @hoop - buti ka pa #1 na din (davao exchange query)
      tnx, ^_^ linked back to you na rin!
      @jaypee - ploghost na rin para masaya!
      @kuya abe - ganyan talaga ang celeb, ginagaya na iniintriga pa! ahaha.
      @fleeb - nde lang pang-techie pang marketing pa! ahaha, dont forget nga pala yung pasaway na V.A.T., ehehe.

    13. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 2:24 am (13)

      @retz

      Ay oo nga pala yung VAT. Buti na lang na delay ng SC yung 12% EVAT.

      @everyone else

      Ok, speaking of Wordpress, nasubukan ko na rin yung pinsan niya si b2Evolution which got more features by default (parang eh). Aside from that I have tried playing with Nucleus (plain and simple) and Xoops. Ang haba ng installation ng Xoops. Well, anyway, I’m not sure if you can make WP themes and plugins work with b2evo (or that would make additional tweaking).

    14. Gravatar Icon hoop replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 2:25 am (14)

      @retz - oh nga no… hehehe, usually I check my rank using davao buy and sell.. thanks sa link , I linked you sa blog ko and not at Dax kase baka malintikan ako sa mga partners… hehehe

      @jaypee - oh nga ploghost ka na rin, tapos pa list mo sa clients list ng ploghost para better chance of getting google-points because pang 27 ang ploghost sa top philippine sites.

    15. Gravatar Icon mr nice ash replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 9:30 am (15)

      wow.. dati hindi ko man lang makita ang pangalan ko sa mga searches. pero ngayon, pag nitype mo ang “mr nice ash” sa google, the result is this “Comments Posted By mr nice ash”@yugatech. hehehe…. tapos sunod na yung pangalan ko. sa wakas.. hehehe.

      pero pag “mrniceash”, first on the list ang site ko. ngayon ko lang nalaman to a. :)

    16. Gravatar Icon jerald replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 12:18 pm (16)

      hehehe, ako number one sa google search under “jerald” as the search string. di ko nga alam kung bakit e, konti lang naman bumibisita sa site ko.

    17. Gravatar Icon Jaypee replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 7:45 pm (17)

      @Fleeb - so pag may kasamang VAT, magkano na yon? im thinkng of getting d “Jaypee.com” as per advice ni retz. hehe

      pa send sa email ko yon url ng copycat. thnx :)

      @hoop - oo, im thinkng of joining Ploghost. ;)

      @Jerald - good for you, maintain mo na lang na #1 ka. :D

    18. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 10:06 pm (18)

      I got an idea on how to make it to #1 but this is applicable only to people who are just starting to build a home in the w3…

      1 think of a unique name
      2 google it
      3 if you got lots of results go back to step 1
      4 if you got only a few result, then take the name
      5 now, go to ploghost.com/order.php fill in the form and the rest will be history :D ;)

    19. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 10:15 pm (19)

      Nice idea di ba? Hehehe. Teka lang baka gayahin din… naka copyright yan ha hihihi. :)

    20. Gravatar Icon hoop replied on Jul 4th, 2005 at 11:30 pm (20)

      @fleeb

      mas challenging kung napaabot mo sa no. 1… hehehe

      kaya babaguhin ko yung step mo…

      1 think of a unique name
      2 now, go to ploghost.com/order.php fill in the form and the rest will be history

      opensource to, puwede niyo baguhin, paki basa nalang muna ang GPL… hehehe

    21. Gravatar Icon Fleeb replied on Jul 5th, 2005 at 1:00 am (21)

      Ayan, mas challenging nga. Okay lang yan pag open source, pwedeng galawin wag lang angkinin hehehe.

    22. Gravatar Icon retzwerx replied on Jul 5th, 2005 at 2:56 am (22)

      @ fleeb - ahaha eto bow ako sa sinabi mo na:

      5 now, go to ploghost.com/order.php fill in the form and the rest will be history

      =))
      @hoop - hehe tnx din s linkback
      @jaypee - ayan ah, mga jedi master na nagsabi ha, ploghost na!
      @kuya abe - box office na naman ah, pwede ba ipa-”XEROX-COPY” tong page na ito, ahahaha

    23. Gravatar Icon Jaypee replied on Jul 5th, 2005 at 7:04 am (23)

      @fleeb - hehe, ok sa pag advertise ah, pasimple lang. :D

      @hoop - oo nga, mas challenging kung mapaabot mo ng #1. ako din, link mo din ako para tumaas google page rank ko. sino pa jan gusto mag exchange links? hehe

      @retz - oo, gusto ko na rin mag join at makasama mga jedi master.

      btw, wanna ask you guys about this. once in a while, when i’m in my blog and i go from one page to another, i get this popup window with this in the address bar - “http://www.xxxtoolbar.com/ist/scripts/downloads_manager.php?pevent_type=onunload&retry=0&ref=&event_type=onunload&recurrence=weekly&retry=0&loadfirst=0&delayload=20&account_id=135849&adid=a1080662082″ is this a virus or spyware? i don’t know where it came from and i always update my antivirus, scan my pc for spyware and adware. any of you guys have an idea? please enlighten me. hehe :D

    24. Gravatar Icon yuga replied on Jul 5th, 2005 at 1:16 pm (24)

    25. Gravatar Icon hoop replied on Jul 5th, 2005 at 1:32 pm (25)

      speaking of google site ranking, I read a post about how google site ranking works right now.

      I got it from Mr Wilson Ng’s blog, bizdrivenlife.net, not sure if yuga posted about it also, so my apologies if this comes out as redundant on my part.

      @ hoop

      I read about that last week but I’m not sure if I posted it on the miniblog/asides. :)
