There are a lot of informative websites about making money online. One such site that I have come across on and am subscribed to is MoneyBlogger, which has a lot of insightful articles that helps me in learning more about monetizing my blogs.
Currently, MoneyBlogger is holding a contest and the winner gets to receive an iPod Nano. Isn’t that cool? Definitely, I would want to have that thing in my pocket and all I have to do is have a blog

I was reading through my technorati subscription to the keyword “Iloilo” when I read about this funny story by Ilongga Cook on how a kongkee siopao saved her friend from hip fracture when she was hit by a motorcycle on the highway. For those who don’t know, Kongkee is one of the popular old restaurants located in downtown Iloilo serving siopao as their specialty.

I’m currently on the continual process of improving Explore Iloilo. I’ve just finished some of SEO modifications in the title, meta tags, post tags, and comment pagination of the site. I’m also slowly updating the watermark of most of the pictures at my flickr account to prevent other people from posting them without giving credits.
I’ve also added a Dinagyang 2008 section in the main page to prepare for the said event and is testing if “Text Link Ads” will be able to give me some extra income.
After reading this post, I’ve gained more ideas on how to improve Explore Iloilo such as:
I hope they work, but more important I hope I’ll be able to do all of those in just a short period of time.

I’m trying an experiment: to know if social networks such as friendster, myspace, and multiply can help drive traffic to Explore Iloilo. These online networks pose so much potential when it comes to promoting a website, product, or service (that is of course aside from promoting/selling yourself to millions of other users) and it would be a positive development if it did because it’ll open even new opportunities.
I’ve already opened an account in myspace, friendster, and multiply. I’ll only limit myself to these three because they have the most Ilonggo/Filipino users based on my knowledge. My aim is to have as many contacts/friends/groups as possible.
Here are the individual profile urls to each site:
As you can see it’s not finished yet, I’m still working on it. The email address of the account for these three is: chymera00 [a.t] yahoo [dot] com, I hope that you guys will add these account to your contact/friend list as well.
The aforementioned is of course just the secondary gain of this experiment. The primary gain is the promotion Iloilo. It would be great if more Ilonggos would be able to realize the beauty of their hometown.
Aside from the social networks thinngy, I also am developing an idea for a linkbait. I’ll post an update when its done but here’s a sneak preview of what it is:
