Everyday, when I open up my browser, on computer or on my phone, I visit two sites all the time in any freetime I have. That would be seo.ph and seo.org.ph. Why? Sure there are many great SEO forums online. But being a Filipino, and I like sharing and talking with Filipinos also, both learning and teaching, I mainly go to these two forums.
I understand how hard it can be to run a site and not really make any money out of it. And the larger the website, the audience, the members, the diskspace and bandwidth become, the larger the resources, problems, time required to maintain the site, politics and all other stuff, good or bad increases too.

Running an active, non-profit forum is no easy task.

Today… I still earn only $300 to $500 a month, but mostly from domaining and affiliate marketing. And my blogs are almost earning zero right now. I guess I got tired of blogging.
Let’s Reboot Blogging
Well since my blogs have been stagnant, I guess it is time to revive the blogs. but of course, there is a lot to work on. I will use this blog post as my checklist of items to work on and will cross out each one as I finish each task and revive my blog. …continue reading
