You might have spent hours trying to optimize your website to make sure it is highly searchable, and crawlable by engines. Spent more hours and hours making that CSS page work, and got your self a good design layout, and validation stuff. Now you wanted your site to be on top of the engines. Will your website rank well, you might ask?

Now there are a couple of things you might do to make sure you rank on the engines and at least stay on the first page of the SERPS!

1. Put your site on a relevant site that has already been crawled by the engines. Relevant? yes it must be, and as most of you knew, this is to make sure you are in a way which won’t hurt your search engine rankings in the future.

2. Submit your site to as many web directories as possible. Most web directories have pages that are designed to make sure you site fit on that page, make sure you select the most appropriate category for your site and not simply adding a link elsewhere. Choose the best directories possible, pick the most trusted directories such as dmoz, yahoo etc. sometimes it really pays off spending sometime or a few bucks for inclusion on these directories.

3. Create articles, and submit it to good article directories. These articles are being picked up by most webmasters to have some content on their websites. make sure you also have a good link to your website or else are in no way earning anything from that article you have just submitted.

4. Ask some website owners to link with you. It might be time consuming but it’s worth the time. Most webmasters would ask you to have a reciprocal link from your site to their site if they have agreed to your request. Make sure you play with them fairly, cheating them might put you in a bad section, and they might not entertain any of your requests ever again in the future.

5. Create several anchor texts to use while building links. This is usefull to make sure your links are not being mistaken as a spam.

6. Socialize with your competitors and know what they are upto, they may or maynot tell you but doing so will give you hints and ideas for your own use.

I have created a small web directory on one of the sites I am currently optimizing called the clickpond web directory. This directory have quite several categories that will surely fit your site. Go on and add your link to it, linking is Free, though you need to place a reciprocal link to my site.

Lastly, make sure you won’t overdo your link building, in my case i add around 20 - 30 linkbacks per day to make sure the engines would not think i am spamming. Creating too much inbound links to your site might harm you also so be careful.

I’ve been long planning to subscribe to a local internet connection in Baguio where i stay during weekdays so I can access my job even at home. So I asked my wife to find a good option for us. The cheapest way to go for now is SmartBro Broadband. giving us 999 pesos per month on a promising 7 times faster than dialup. (or just another marketing pitch!).

It is also my sole purpose to have a daily (cheaper) communication medium to my family. Thinking it would be of ease, not just another head ache (:D)

I’m a little excited and worried at the sametime. I’m excited cause I will soon have an internet connection at home, but worried that I might experience the same problem as other subscribers are experiencing on the same service. Some even call it SmartBroken? lol that was funny… I hope I am not really going to post several rants against the service on the newly installed blog. hopefully. so Smartbro, make me proud!

Tomorrow I will know the details, and starting saturday i will be able to try it out myself wether or not smartbro really is a solution or a pest.

What do you think?

I went out on a scheduled meet up with a Balaihara Villatel buyer yesterday, though sleepless and tired, still was able to pull myself together and went ahead at starbucks shangrila plaza.

I arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled time, unfortunately few minutes later, I recieved an sms message that the client will not be able to make it since he has rush himself to an emergency meeting. So I decided to get myself a cup of mocha frappuccino and wait for a friend, who will tour me up the model units of Balaihara Newcoast Villatel located in MC Depot, The Fort.

I waited for almost 2 hours waiting in starbucks and was able to consume 2 more orders of Frap. Eventhough I wanted to go home for being so sleepy and exhusted, i still managed the wait that long until my friend arrives who told me that she was waiting on Starbucks rustans branch and forgotting her mobile at home (was that a sound excuse?). Anyway, I never was in a bad mood, I wanted to see the model units anyway.

So we made our way and was surprised on the clean designs I saw at the Showroom, “I finally got myself an Idea how to design my room in Baguio. LOL, Our room in baguio was bare since we are currently in the process of constructing our house there.

Now that was a good start, Although I realized that I cannot rely on other people specially when having some deal like these, It was really a blessing for me, since the buyer needs to go to a meeting, If not, I would have lost a client.
