Other site with 2008 Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony Video Information
Just want to inform that Philippines Word Camp Schedule is already posted in the Site :You can check it out here.
Congratulation to Mindanao bloggers I know it will be a successful one.
This is a Sponsored Post, But it does not mean that I will be biased in reviewing this product.
Avot mV is a live video streaming service for mobile Users. It aims to provide a high quality playback of any Web-enabled Mobile device. It is capable of having an intelligent content based search capability that incorporates your preferred Site.
At first entry to their site you will be asked to install their software and you will be asked to choose on what type of platform does your mobile support. The program was installed hassle free at my PDA. After that you have to run the program and view the main site.
I can say that the site load slow maybe it is because of the source Youtube, and if you are paying per kb in your usage this might not be a good application for you since Video on the Mobile Internet gets lot of Kb download. Like in Saudi Arabia it is around SR 0.005 / Kb of download unlike in Philippines you are being charged per minute of usage.
But if you are using a fixed amount for a certain usage regardless of download amount this might be good for you in checking You tube Videos using your mobile Phone or PDA.
You can use the search link at the page to be able to key in your keyword like for example ” Praise and Worship ” and it will then provide you their suggested video clips with your chosen keyword. So it is up to you to press and wait till it loads to your mobile. It is just same like in Normal PC.
The search result is great it is really relevant on the keyword.
While viewing the Product Site it only show the link to the mobile site and PC users. I would suggest that they should have made some explanation on how it works on that page a simple instruction will do in order for their newly find visitor be attracted on their site.
You can check also their Blog and Corporate Site for updates regarding their product, By this you will be able to know on how they can achieve their promise of good service to Mobile User.
The site has been chosen as one of the apple ” staff pick ” .
I believe in the near future there will still be lots of improvement for this site. It is for the better of course. But I may say that their idea is unique since not many is into this kind of platform for the mobile. In fact they are the only application which I know at this moment who supply this kind of solution to the user.
It would be better if they could provide the play , Pause , Rewind button while it is viewing.
I don’t know if they will approved this review but it’s up to them. I just say What I feel I have to say.
Filipinos are becoming aware that Blogging is not only a hobby but it may be a source of income.
Below is a blog post of my first ever guest blogger.Enjoy reading..
Introduction
If you haven’t heard about blogging, then you must be living under the rocks. Blogging or web log is a website where entries are written in chronological order and visitors may leave a comment for a particular post. Blogs vary from different niche. There are photo blogs, online diaries, adult blogs, entertainment, sports and so on. Sky is the limit of what you may think of to blog. The fun of blogging is that you can make anything bloggable and be unique. People blog for therapeutic reasons, some for rants, some just for fun and others for money.
So let’s have a typical idea of how much, really does a blog income produce.
This guy is a little disappointed receiving his pay check from google.
dcpanganiban’s check
I have posted a link on my blog about these people who earned money through blogging. From tech blogs, odd news, to cats talking crap. Have a quick view to all of them.
Read Full Article About Top Bloggers and Their Income
So I guess that warmed you up. To give you a quick overview of what you’ll get in this guide is all listed below.
Guide Overview:
• Creating accounts for money making network ads.
• Get all necessary files to start your blog.
• Tips in writing and managing you blog.
• Monetizing Your Blog
• Blog Promotion
My Personal Story
Meet the Master
As may you all know, I don’t have talent to write nor did I know how to earn money online. I learned about email during my second year in college and my classmates thought I was joking. I got my computer on my 4th year of college. And afford to buy my own laptop through online money making while still struggling to pass that software engineering subject. Arrrrrgh!!!.
As I got into the company I’m working now, I met people that are uber in this field of money making. They come across as arrogant because they’re always talking about money. But for me, they are good hearted people that wanted to share their knowledge and talk about their experience.
I made friends with retzwerx, if you don’t know him, ask a fellow blogger, he won the Philippine Blog Awards for an entertainment blog focusing on Pinoy Big Brother. Well, he got excited and showed me a peek of his income.
Sounds good? It is. It’s dated June 14, 2007. Yep it’s not even end of the month yet and he earned that much.
As we got closer, the more I know how to make money online. He is just soooo good on the subject that it comes natural. His enthusiasm is very contagious and I’m always excited to hear what he’s going to say next because what he says are gold nuggets ready to be picked up by all who noticed them.
My Own Style
One day, I came up with an idea to share what I learned with this guy and probably help others to earn money online. Anyone can do this, all you have to do is follow and understand everything stated here. Ok, understand? Now sit, then rollover… lol. Just kidding.
After following his advices and picking up those gold nuggets, I was able to make money on my own, at home.
I know its crap compared to what he’s earning but I hope you get my point. By the way, that interface isn’t google. It’s xoom, I wanted to get away with what he teach and try my own way of earning money. But the principle is still the same as to what I will write here in the guide. I do hope I’m making myself clear here.
What’s the catch?
What’s the catch? There is no catch, totally nothing. All I ask is a link of my site (http://supernoobice.com) from your site and that would help. You may also distribute this article to everyone you know. I don’t care. But please give proper credits.
Creating accounts for money making network ads
Recommended Money Makers
The following are the best ad networks and affiliate systems for start up sites in my opinion. They provide support and information and most of all, on time payments.
Google Adsense
Google Adsense is probably the most popular ad network on the internet. It pays you for every click on the ads. You have the chance to customize ad links to match your site theme. You definitely want to signup for adsense. Minimum payout is $100 and payments are made every month.
Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser is a CPC ad that competes with Google Adsense. The only advantage so far is that it has a low pay out. Meaning, at a minimum of $10, you may receive your earnings. For cash check payments, a minimum of $50.
Auction Ads
Action ads allow you to post relative items from eBay on your site. User clicks and money comes rolling in. You may want to check it out. If you’re planning to have a site with selling items, you may want to try Audtion Ads and get paid by every transaction and user clicks.
AGLOCO
AGLOCO is a toolbar for advertising. If you use the toolbar, you will be given share of your ad money. They will also pay you if you refer other people to use the toolbar. The more people you refer the more you can potentially make. AGLOCO is still in startup and unproven. But since the cost of investment is ZERO, it’s worth a try. It is also the only ad network here that doesn’t require a website.
Exoclick
Here comes an alternative to Adsense that are more “mature” in nature. One of the distinct feature of Exoclick is that it allows mature ads for adult related websites. But that’s not the only thing that makes Exoclick an Adsense alternative….
Get All Necessary Files
Get a Domain and Hosting
Nothing beats a personal domain and web space, but if you’re broke you don’t want to spend money, stay with free hosing if you like. But please make it a must to get out of free hosting and brand your own website if you have the chance. The money and effort are worth it on personal website because once the blog is popular, it is YOUR site that is popular and not the free blog hosting. Besides, it would make you look professional.
The money you invest on a domain and hosting will greatly outnumbered by the money coming in once you got your blog rolling.
There are lots of cheap hosting packages floating around. But I use www.bigskymedia.net simply because its cheap for only P50 a month. =)
Disclaimer: I don’t have any connection with bigskymedia.
Tips in selecting a domain name:
• Pick a domain name that reflects you.
• Pick a domain name that will reflect the most important subject of your blog. For example, if you are blogging about pictures of nude monkeys, you may want to buy a domain like www.nudemonkeys.com. So that it would be search engine optimized. (More on that later).
WordPress – The Blogging Machine
There are lots of blogging scripts out there but for this guide we will use wordpress. You may want to download the latest file at WordPress.org or if you have a cpanel try looking for the “Fantastico” icon and click it.
You will be directed to a page with list of all possible applications you may install on your hosting. Look for wordpress. It should be there. If not, download wordpress on the above link.
Pick a Theme
You may want to have a stylish look on your blog. Free resources such as this are elegant. Just download and install.
Tips in writing and managing you blog
Blog things that your passionate about
If you are not passionate about your topic then you might have a big problem in growing your blog. People know and can smell through you and through your post if you’re just in for the money.
Whatever happens, don’t do it for the money. Blog things that you enjoy story telling to others and the money will come later.
Blog in a consistent basis
A blog with no blog is a dead blog. Always remember, that an outdated blog is a dead blog. Decide on what frequency will make a post. Once a week, once a day, whatever, and stick with it!
Remember that you may want to keep readers from coming back. Think what will happen when they return and see post made a month ago? Of course, they won’t visit your site ever again and you lost a potential reader and maybe a customer.
Interact with readers
Blogging is building a community, kindly reply to comments in a positive manner. Meet and know other bloggers as they are also potential readers. It’s all about being active in the blogosphere.
Link out hearts
If you have friends who blog exchange link with them. If you don’t then find a friend online that blogs and exchange links.
“Blog Hopping” is a good way. Where you visit one blog to another then leave comments with your site url.
Brand Yourself
What makes your blog different from millions of blog around the world? Brand yourself, give your own opinions on topic you selected. Every point of view, rants and raves are unique for each person and also the way you communicate it.
Be a Good Writer
You don’t really have to be a good writer. What I meant by this is that you should have a good way of expressing your points across.
Monetizing Your Blog
Ok here it is!!! It is time to earn some money. You may need to sign up to at least one ad network to go on with this guide. I suggest you go with google adsense first or go with all. Its your choice. But for the meantime, I’ll be using google adsense as an example. Same logic applies to all ad networks.
1. First of all download and the wordpress login called “Adsense Deluxe” .
2. Login to you adsense account and click on the Adsense setup tab.
You may pick 3 types of adsense product. For now, click on the “Adsense for Content”.
3. Select Ad unit and then select text ads only. Then hit continue.
4. You will be directed to a page where you may customize the look of your ad. For the Format of our ad, select the 728×90 Leaderboard option on the drop down menu for now.
5. Now select the colors for border, title, text, url and background.
6. At this point you hit continue or ad more appealing effects to you ad by the added options, like having a rounded corner for the ad blocks.
7. Hit continue.
8. You are then directed to the Choose Channel page. Add a new channel and then hit continue.
Let me explain to you what channel does. Channel allows you to monitor which ads is generating money. For example, I added snoobLeaderboard for our ad. If that ad generated money, I would have the chance to know and basically analyze which ad to improve, change or discharge.
9. This is the final page. This page gives you the code that you will insert on your page. If you still want to customize and go back to the previous steps, just hit the back button.
10. Copy the code and fire up your WordPress Admin Page. I am now on the Presentation Tab of my Admin area.
11. I am using Fluid Solution Theme for this example.
On the Presentation Tab, there are lists of more tabs under it, namely, Themes, Widgets, Theme Editor. If you don’t have a Widgets tab, do not worry, you will still be able to follow along, it’s not necessary to have one. It’s a sort of added feature installed on my WordPress.
12. On the right side of the Theme Editor page, you will see a list of pages that you may edit that makes all of your blog. You may edit it and give a personal look on the page. For now, we are focused mainly on putting our Google Ad on the homepage.
13. Click on the Main Index Template. And the code should show up on the left side pane of the page.
14. Don’t be intimidated by the code. All we have to know is where to paste our google ad code. Browsing from our Homepage Template code, look for this code:
15. All you have to do is paste the code in place of the <PASTE GOOGLE CODE HERE> so it would look like this.
16. Now that you’re done, click Update File and preview your ad.
17. Now that you made your first Google ads and placed it on your homepage all that is left is to explore and experiment. Same goes for other ad networks.
Try new combinations and placements, try other Google Ad sizes. For more tips about Google Ad Placement visit Google’s Optimization tips.
Blog Promotion
Let’s summarize the things we have from this point. And make sure that everything’s laid out.
• We have our blog.
• We have a posting schedule.
• We have ads.
All that is left now is to promote our blog. Remember that traffic is important in the world of blogging and traffic means readers, visitors and money.
Write Good Content
Make it a habit to write quality content. If you write good articles, many would like to link to your site. When that happens, you increase your site’s visibility and more and more blogs will want to visit you for more quality contents.
The most important of all, if many sites link to you because of your content, you also increase the chance of being indexed on page 1 of google when users search for certain keywords relevant to your articles.
Once you have a striking content, you may want to submit them on digg You get popularity when readers “DIG” your content. Which in return generates more traffic.
Submit to Web Directories
By submitting to web directories, you help search engines to categorize your blog and makes it easier to be found. Here are some of the lists of directories you may submit your site. Remember that there are free and paid web directories, if you’re not willing to pay until your blog is earning, free web directories is the way to go. Just search, there are tons of it.

• www.pinoysites.org/pinoyblogs
• http://www.blogcatalog.com/post-tag/filipino
Be The First One to Comment
Always try to be the first one to comment on blog post of other sites. It will give you the chance to be noticed since readers do not care anymore past the first 10 comments.
Big Blogs
Look for popular blogs that have top commentator list. Try to be the top commentators on these blog. Technorati has 100 lists of top blogs. You may want to join in and be one of the top commentators.
Customize Your Permalinks for Search Engine
WordPress has this option wherein you may change the link name of every post on your blog. Instead of seeing http://supernoobice.com/?p=123,you may want change it to something like http://supernoobice.com/money/make-money/ so that google, and other search engine spiders may crawl on your links for easy indexing.
To change the permalinks, go to your Options Tab then click on Permalinks on the sub tab.
Click on the Custom, Specify Below radio tab and type in /%postname%/ on the text field.
After that Update your permalinks.
Note: Search Engine Optimization is such a broad subject, and there are tons of ways to do SEO. You may want to look for resources related to SEO, Search Engine Optimization, to further know the subject.
Last Few Words
There’s no quick and easy way to earn cash, whether online or offline. Why people walk away from this business unsuccessful is that they often quit too early. Try to do things differently if things don’t go according to plan, and eventually, you’ll be making your site successful.

Thanks.

Since we are now in a Modern age where everybody has a cellphone we might as well talk about iPhone , almost every mobile company is in discussion with apple about the iPhone lack of 3G support.
Most of the telephone networks all over the world including Philippines, Middle East, USA, Europe and others had spend Million of dollars just to be upgraded in 3G. I thick the lack of 3G Support from iPhone is their disadvantage but rather an advantage to other Telephone Manufacturer like Nokia, Siemens, I-mate, O2 and others.
If I will choose in between my I-mate and iPhone I might as well remain to my phone since iPhone will not give me an advantage over the latest technology in mobile.
Yahoo advertising is only available in the US, however a recent development revealed that Yahoo is also entering India via Tyroo Ads an Internet advertising company focused on Indian websites.
Now My question is , Is there any possibility that Yahoo will also enter Philippines and perhaps join a local advertising company in Philippines? like adAuction.ph well we do not know.
Yahoo YPN is a great alternative to those bloggers or web owners that has been banned by Adsense.
I would like to thank selaplana.com for reviewing my site in response to my review on his site. Below are some points that caught my attention as follows
I couldn’t tell when did this blog has started because RexTed decided not to display the monthly archive of this blog
Well actually I have the archive it is just folded down below the right sidebar, A tick would reveal that I started this blog last January 2007.
However, I want to tell him that the Most Visited Posts and excel Related Posts showed twice on the sidebar.
Now it has been modified.
In general, the blog is satisfactory. But what got my attention is its host and domain which are all hosted by blogspot.com.
Actually I have been thinking to moving on my own domain but the problem , I do not know how I can manages this things since I am at Saudi Arabia. Perhaps I can do this during my vacation.
But just a question how does Amit Agarwal of India managed to get thousand of dollars thru advertiser having a blogspot.com domain.? and also Euleh who is a sucessful blogger in Philippines? This is just a question.
In general It was a really great review and a Thousand thanks to selaplana for having this review.

Last month I bought my Nokia 2626 so that I have a phone to be used for Smart Roaming Purpose. Yup that’s right I am using 2 phone, one is I-mate PDAL and other one is Nokia 2626. I have decided to buy this Phone so that my relatives could easily contact me by paying the same rate that they are paying when they send messages to anyone in the Philippines. That will be equal to PHP 1 not unlike if they will try to send message at my International Number it will cost them PHP 15.
Nokia 2626 – Tune into style
The Nokia 2626 is a colorful mobile phone designed for style-conscious consumers in emerging markets. The Nokia 2626 will be available in a range of bold colors, such as Fiery Red and Spatial Blue
And since they can save from sending me a message sometimes it is hard for me to reply back since If I will reply to them I will be charged about PHP 5.5. So the device that I have made to save some money is by sending SMS to them via Load.com.ph where I will only be charged PHP 1. You can visit my post here to know how this works.
And Now here is my Review:
I recommend this phone to other Filipinos around the world who is looking for a cheap Nokia phone that will serve it’s purpose. It can also be use as a POP mail receiver if your network allows it.It can also be used in Internet. I bought this in a very cheap price of US$ 59. I is also very handy and has a nice color. By the way my phone color is Spatial Blue. I just can’t get other picture with my that color that is why I used pink in the pic.

There is now reason for US and Hongkong OFW to be happy since they can now use the latest promo of Smart Buddy.
You can view information here.
It is good to know that there is a system like this. I just hope this system will also be applicable to Middle East in the near future. It is really costly to contact OFW from middle east. But still of course you could always use International Roaming that could be loaded thru Load.com.ph if you are out of Philippines.
