As much as I want to be humble, I cannot help myself to be proud as Father Blogger dot com was chosen as one of the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009 which was organized by Ms. Janet Toral last Saturday. The event was held at PAGCOR, Paranaque City, Philippines.

The dinner was wonderful and the ambiance was energetic. I met the older ones, and fresh faces as well. Although I was quite sad, since my partner Mon was not around as well as Jenaisle. Anyway, each of us was awarded with a plaque and a 5-minute speech opportunity. Read more of this >>

Yes, my dear readers. I now own a Problogger Book, and it is such a great honor to have one. Late last year, I proudly announced that I won a Problogger Book by sharing the Best Blogging Tip. It was from a contest at Kevin Muldoon’s forum. Kevin is the humble owner of Blogging Tips, who was kind enough to allow me to guest post on his blog for four times. Since then, my confidence in sharing blogging tips increased.

By the way, the judge was no less than the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse. It was such a privileged for me to be chosen. Actually, I already got the book some few months ago, but it is unfortunate that I have no time to read it thoroughly. However, I tried to took a peek on it and I would like to share to you some interesting things about it. Read more of this >>

To attract visitors from search engines, bloggers are doing their best to make a killer post. This can also increase subscribers and regular followers. In fact, it is one of the strategies to increase traffic. However, a killer post can also kill itself if it is being posted at the wrong time.

No matter how good your writing skills are, only a few will be interested to read it. Even if you are optimizing your keywords, almost nobody will search about it. Bloggers do not even have to be an SEO expert to understand this. Even newspaper journalists are using this principle, every time a special event will occur.

Now, I suppose all of you are aware that tomorrow is the scheduled non-title bout - Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar dela Hoya which was dubbed as The Dream Fight. This boxing match is very popular, and is being much awaited. Filipinos, Mexicans, and even Americans are so excited to see this. Read more of this >>

Inspire others, and be useful to them. This is the best strategy so far, even better than search engines and all the social sites you can find.

This is my official entry to Kevin Muldoon’s contest held recently on his Blogging Tips forum, in which the judge was no less than the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse. The contest was quite simple though. Contestants were asked to share his best blogging tip in 140 characters or less.

So what now if I won? Well, the Problogger book may be old to some but still is ageless to me. It was launched last April of this year, with Chris Garrett as the co-author. It has a wide collection of blogging tips of the Problogger, which include the following topics. Read more of this >>

Obviously, I have Adsense on my blog. I started this blog four months ago, but I have 2 other blogs at Blogger that also have Adsense, and are more than one year old. However, I now seldom touch them since I am more focused on this blog.

But here’s the great news – I am now about to reach my first $100 from Adsense after more than 1 year of using it! Am I happy? Of course, I am. I worked for it somehow. But what am I driving at? Well, I think now is the right time for me to share my ideas about Adsense. So I hope you join me here, and let’s talk about it professionally.

Making good money from Adsense

It is given that a high-traffic blog has the greater chance of making good money from Adsense. Targeting the most searched keywords, and make series of posts about it is a very effective way. Adsense bloggers earned a lot from the recent US President election, and will earn again if they are blogging about the upcoming Pacquiao - De la Hoya fight. Therefore, I can conclude that niche bloggers are more likely not to make good money from Adsense consistently. Read more of this >>

Product reviews is one way to make money online, and it really is. Some bloggers join sites like SponsoredReviews and gained some bucks from them. However, it is being avoided by others for the fear of penalty from Google. But if you are into affiliate marketing, you also need to make reviews for your products. Freelance writers also earn good money by submitting product reviews to different sites. I was hired for a couple of times, and my client was generous enough to give me some tips.

With this, I would like to share them to you and I am sure they will be of great help. Read more of this >>
