A SEO Novice
I always wanted to try new things. It never fails to excite me. Satisfying the level of self actualization is something any person would want to feel once in awhile. In my case, I have experienced a lot in my life and achieved self actualization in some instances.
Another path that I am trying to explore is Search Engine Optimization. I have recently been “hooked” with SEO after I took my board exam a few months ago. Before my discovery of SEO, i was a slacker at home, just surfing the net and sometimes degrading myself for not doing something productive. I got tired of being idle and eventually had an urge to find an activity that is productive and in line with my interests. That’s right. S-E-O.
As of today, I’m still on a search for the holy grail of SEO. Yes i know the basics, but the more i know, the more i know I dont know. And that sucks. Bigtime! And in order to catch-up, what i do is read, read… and read some more. After filling my braincells with information, i try to apply what i learned through actual practice and by joining SEO contests. I actually missed the chance of joining the Busby SEO Challenge. Though I am not a participant, I took the opportunity to learn through posts of those who are participating. It is an open book for me to learn new strategies and techiniques. Right now, I am applying what I learned so far in a mini-contest sponsored by a blogger in Cebu, The Cebu Seo Contest.
And in-line with this entry, let this be my chance to provide support for my fellow Filipinos, by promoting their entries in the Busby SEO Challenge.
Mito Pontillas - Busby SEO Challenge
Ed Ed Pudol - Busby SEO Challenge
Felixberto Baguyo Jr. - Busby SEO Challenge,
Dennis Cabase - Busby SEO Challenge
and Pinay Speak - Busby SEO Challenge.
To all participants of Busby SEO Challenge, especially my kababayan(s), I wish you all the best!

jayl, another blogger overtook me today. google’s algorithm is such a mystery that all our SEO efforts can be just mere guessworks.
As to the busby seo challenge, the SERP leaders work as a team, whereas the filipino participants work individually and with few blogger friends.

but still youre in page 1. thats a good sign.. i just hope i could catch up with you guys.
google sometimes is very unpredictable. anyhow, thanks for the visit dude.

jayl, you’re on no.2 today. i’m out of page 1. the post that was no.1 was out of sight. i did nothing, it would probably reappear on the final day. hehe.
rodel to win on a large seo contest needs more than a hundred thousand links, a group of seo specialists, tech guys to ward off hacks and negative seo, and probably luck. It’s too late to join in the busby fray right now.

@ Lhurey - thanks for dropping by
@ Rodel - i coudn’t agree more, the competition is getting tougher everyday.
@ CeBlogger - yep. google’s acting weird, changing algo every now and then, im hoping for that too with my blog on the last day.
I agree, joining the busby is quite late now, but still we can help other fellow filipinos
thanks for the visit.

@ Aiza, thank you.. and goodluck to you as well
@ renan, just keep optimizing your blog. I just recently finished reading an ebook about link building. I am no expert in SEO but link building strategies are the second best SEO tactic after quality content. This would be time consuming but will pay off your SEO efforts. I hope to see you rank your blog as well. Goodluck
