I have already seen the leaderboard today of the Captivating Capiz Mini-SEO contest and I say it is a tight one already.  I remember joining this mini contest a month ago wherein the first few days were not a good experience for me.  My entry was indexed the next day and was de-indexed the next.  It was quite frustrating at first but luckily I came back and ranked somewhere on the second page.  After a few weeks, I decided to be a support blog for my friend Dilson, but I have noticed recently that he does not update his blog anymore, no ym messages, no link building, no nothing.  That is why I decided to create another entry, just to update my entry at the same time this blog.  I submitted this blog to some other monetization ventures and luckily I got in.  I already earned ten dollars with just a few work.  Hopefully, if ever I am not busy with my other projects, I might update my Captivating Capiz entry.  With just a few days left, who knows.

Dont let the negativity of the title get into you.  Since its humble begginings, Mucho Libre didn’t get the chance to have a page rank.  This is so because this served as an experimental blog a few months back.  I have many plans for Mucho Libre and was not that successful for the reason that is inevitable or beyond my control.  There was a time that this was supposed to be a freebie site which shares on what is free over the internet, then it joined contests such as Cebu SEO Contest and Captivating Capiz. I also tried to put up this site as a review site doing pay per posts and reviews, but never get a response from pay per post programs. Pathetic. lol.

Abandoning Mucho Libre

I was on the verge of abandoning Mucho Libre, since my Captivating Capiz entry was recently de-indexed by google.  I admit that I really lost hope and determination to keep up with this blog, thus trying to let this float around the limbo of the internet and not updating it.

Slapped With a Page Rank 1

I know it is not big of a deal to get a page rank one (1) but it is still a page rank, is it not?  I am not happy and I am not that sad either.  I saw this small green fill on my page rank bar on my

Mucho Libre what?

If I abandoned this site, why still updating it? Because my Captivating Capiz entry was tagged at top four today by google.  You could see the leaderboard and spot my mucho libre on the number four spot.  No celebration yet, but it is a start since i got de-indexed for almost a week after my published entry.  I remember my Cebu Seo Contest wherein I topped at number one for four days and then drifted to the long lost pages of google, so no celebration yet.  What I am going to do is build up links for this blog.  Despite that I still rank for some keywords i targeted along the way, link building is one off-page optimization technique that really bore me.

Mucho Libre as an Affiliate Blog

Though not final, atleast its a start… Soon

Hey, No ADS!

Capiz is located in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines.  The capital city is Roxas city pinned on the north-east part of Panay Island.  Why Captivating Capiz? What is so captivating to this place?  What is so special about Capiz?

Capiz Shells and Mangoes

It is known for its shells, called Capiz Shells. These low-cost shells are used for decorations, lampshades and window doors, vases, decorations, and lanterns.  For us, these shells may be just an ordinary shell, but mind you, it is considered as a worldclass product and there is a high demand for these shells wordlwide.  You also will probably agree that the mangoes in Capiz are just freaking sweet.  The sweetest Mangoes, located in Guimaras are of export quality and considered to be one of the best source of this variety of fruit in the Philippines.

Seafood Capital of the Philippines

With it’s vast 80-kilometer coastline and converted fishponds, Capiz is dubbed as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines.  It is considered as one of the major contributor in the fishing industry because of its rich fishing grounds or ponds.  With this light, these attract investers to venture into other aquamarine businesses like prawn culture, feeds, seaweed farming and the like.

What is Not Good About Capiz

This segment is not what’s not GOOD ABOUT Capiz, but what is not good about the perception of Capiz to other filipinos.  When I was a kid, people talk about this province as a home for ghouls and supernatural phenomenons.  One would be the kama-kama, which are actually gnomes living in earth mounds or what we called in tagalog “nuno sa punso.” Another is the tamawu or taglugar which are considered spirits that can be either friendly or evil. The ever popular mananaggal or what they described as a person cut in half with wings, just like jeepers creepers, only cut in half.  Rumor has it that it actually hunts for pregnant women and eat the infant inside the womb.

These myths, folklore had somehow damaged Capiz.  This may be the  case but the people and government officials of the province are doing their best to promote Captivating Capiz and if i would weigh the good and bad points about this province, I would say, I am still undecided. Since I am not from that province and never been there whole my life, what can you say about Capiz?  How would you convince people to go to Capiz?
