SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain Names

If you have noticed, I changed my blog’s theme from neoclassical to this present baby. I was browsing the internet for a close-to-perfect theme that would suit my taste and eventually encourage me to blog more. Here’s Hoping. I also tweaked the header and other technical-geeky some somes. I really love what I did with the header. It is simple yet cool. A nice combination of Red color asterisk and links.

Catching Up

I became very busy these past few days from my other blogs and some offline errands. I have finished attending an I.V Training seminar and guess what I just found out from my best friend slash colleague - There is a current FREEZE HIRING of our line of work here in our country. Isn’t that cool?

May that be a blessing or not, It gives me more time to do my online endeavors and hopefully within the middle of this year, I can put up a service type business on my own.

It is early June already. Time flies when you are busy… NOT. I have been slacking for weeks now and I have really not put a lot of time on my affiliate campaigns. There are many times that I have to cut short my work so that I can tend to other things. As for my June updates, I have met some of my goals, but in a different way. I have managed to absorb information related to affiliate marketing and now trying to apply it. I believe that with my novice level in AM plus guidance from my mentor, I will have a killing on these campaigns.

Specific June Goal:

You can see my June goals here on my blog and I’d like to add another goal, a short term one, specifically this month. For other big time AM’s, they are kind of aiming $15k net this month, and I am waaay to far behind from those guys, and since I am just starting out, I will set a goal of a breakeven to 100% ROI on my campaign. This is a mediocre goal but a realistic one, taking small steps one at a time will be my approach for this month and once I have gotten my feet wet, then I will start to “aim for the sky.” From all the blogs that I have seen with regard to AM, one thing is common and will put it on a quote, “Aim higher than the highest.”

All the best.

I was browsing SEO Philippines forum and found out from one of the forum posters that there will be a Search Marketing Expo in Singapore on July 2-3 this year.  I looked at the itinerary and found the topics interesting.  Since I am currently studying PPC, it is a great opportunity for me to attend the Expo and learn from the classes offered for aspiring PPC practitioners.  Here is the list of activities for the SMX Singapore.

The only problem is, for an individual, the seminar itself is quite expensive.  I can come up with the budget for lodging and airfare (go mabuhay miles!) but the fee for the seminar is around $1,095 Singapore dollars.  If converted, it is a huge amount in Philippine Pesos.

Huwell, I just hope I could come up with the money or atleast a huge discount for the expo.  I really would love to attend and as of this writing,  I am now officially open for sponsorship. lol.
