SEO Philippines Mini-Contest
Filipinos who are members of SEO Philippines Yahoo Group are gearing up for the upcoming mini-seo contest much like the just concluded v7n's elursrebmem and the ongoing shoemoney mini-seo contest. Details of the contest has not yet been announced formally but Mr. SEO Philippines Marc Macalua, also the group's founder, has hinted it to start very soon.
Sure, it'll be fun. What I am waiting to see is a clash of skills of who's who in the group. Heated arguments about various seo techniques has already begun with people silently taking sides. Colors will fly. Black, white, gray? Whatever colors you can think of that can pull them through the ranking will be done. Best of all, seo noobs like me get to learn actual tricks from practicing SEOs on this side of the planet. Last time I checked, the price is pretty good. For now, I'll chase shoemoney's money.
Shoemoney Rank for 2006-05-31
No movement for the shoemoney mini-SEO contest today. My shoemoney entry lingers around 22nd-24th spot in Google and my shoemoney in MSN is stuck at 52nd spot. Yahoo doesn't love me with shoemoney.

About.com subdomains are running Wordpress. I can't begin to imagine how much hacking was made to the wordpress files.
Filipinos and Shoemoney Mini-SEO Contest
Do Filipinos like joining online contests? Abe have already won a couple of times, Retz too had his share of online fame which he's enjoying until now. While checking my shoemoney standings in search engines, more and more Pinoy sites are showing up.
You may notice that I am writing and linking too much about Jeremy Schoemaker's - a.k.a shoemoney - mini-contest. It is because I enjoy playing games. Others play games like mmorpg's or FPS, I tend to play games that are more or less will give something in return other than wasted time. Shoemoney and other SEO contests as of late have given me the pleasure.
Shoemoney Rank for 2006-05-30
My rank for shoemoney in SEs slid to 23rd today in Google and 52nd in MSN. Shoemoney contest has drawn the interest of the experienced guys. I expect to slid further for shoemoney.
Shorting San Miguel Corporation
If you happen to eat out most of the time, you would notice how big food corporation fare in the local market. Anyway, 9 out of 10 softdrinks I drank over the past month is Pepsi. I'm a Coke drinker and I am a bit worried I'll be drinking less and less Cokes in the future. Most of the restaurants, fastfoods and small turo-turo stores are serving pepsi products.
Is there something wrong with how Coca Cola is being managed? I can see the big cut in Coke's market share in the softdrink market. I can see it hurting from the aggressive marketing of Pepsi. I don't notice the current print or tv ads of coke. The most recent ads I can remember is the one that has a teen boy and his headphones on.
Is this the right time to short San Miguel Corp? If they are still handling the local Coca Cola manufacturing and distribution, they must be hurting, unless their foreign ventures brings in too many profit.
Shoemoney Rank for 2006-05-29
My rank for the shoemoney mini-contest today is 18 in Google and somewhere below 50 on Yahoo and MSN. Will this be my shoe money like Marc?
More fun in Shoemoney Contest
I've taken a shot at ranking for the shoemoney keyword. The things is the shoemoney contest gets a little bit more interesting and doable. Shoemoney previously wanted us to take the #1 spot but quickly realized it's next to impossible for the keyword shoemoney.
Anyway, Shoemoney revised the rules that'll give prizes to those who lands in top 10 spots in Google, Yahoo and MSN for the keyword shoemoney. All the rules pretty much stayed the same just the prizes. By the way he will be checking the search engines for shoemoney on June 22. I hope to be at least in the 10th spot.
After reading on shoemoney's blog that there were changes, I was thinking that I can win this after all. But then again, that's because the prize isn't that high and the bigshot SEO's won't waste time with it. Some will enter the shoemoney not for the prize but, I guess, for the fun of it and for that elusive SEO repuatation that this contest brings them. As for me, I'm on this for fun. I'm no SEO whatsoever - at least not, officially - just trying to learn to. So if the keyword is shoemoney, then shoemoney it is.
Hicks: The New American Idol
I've known the result earlier but the show was worth watching. Also, I've had a feeling when I first saw Taylor Hicks during the audition that he has potential. There you go, 2nd time this year that I predicted the top two.
