SEO.ph Closes Down

By Benj Arriola - Posted on Thu Nov 3, 2011

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. All of this contributes to a cost, even if it does not seam monetary, the fact that you have to maintain a server and dedicate some time is a cost.

Mainly from PPP, Ad Publishing and some Affiliate Marketing. 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
