A Little Help From BuzzFuse

Every professional blogger dreams of monetizing his blog. I am no different and I am still looking for ways to improve traffic and get more visitors to my blog. I believe that it is necessary to bring in traffic first before one can really maximize a blog's earning opportunities.

This is where I need a little help from Buzzfuse.com It is a site that helps distribute your blog posts to your contacts without a fuss. Just register with Buzzfuse (which is a breeze) and then get the special widget and paste it below your post, click on it and your site goes live.

What is nice about Buzzfuse is that it does not just promote blogs but also other posts like music, photos, etc. Whatever you need promoted in the World Wide Web, Buzzfuse can surely help. And with these, you can get more traffic to your site and hopefully, more income.

Are Dabawenyos Pizza Eaters?

Dabawenyos are a food-loving bunch maybe because food is easilya ccessibel to the Dabawenyo's table. Fish, meat and fresh fruits are abundant in the city and also relatively cheap compared to Manila. This is one of the reasons why Davao is considered one of the most livable cities in Asia.

The establishment of various malls in the city has also made fast foods accessible to Dabawenyos and so their food saga continues. But while various food outlets come and go in the city, can we say that Dabawenyos are pizza-eating-people? Well, there's Giacominos, Pizza Hut, Greenwich and Shakeys. Do you think another pizza joint (that is more affordable than the other pizza joints) would still appeal to Dabawenyos?

Win Jollibee Certificates, 100 Entre Cards At DatelineDavao

Finally! I am launching my first-ever contest here at DatelineDavao. This contest is quite unique because three of the four prizes are exclusive to Dabawenyos. Well, the exclusivity is primarily because three of the prizes are actually Jollibee gift certificates which can only be used in selected Jollibee outlets in Davao City.

One other thing that makes this contest unique is that the other prize, 100 Entre Cards, is exclusive only to Entre members or those who will sign up with entrecard.com. How else will you enjoy your EntreCards?

So here's the deal.

1. subscribe to my posts via email and verify your subscription (just enter your email address on the subscription form located on the very right side of the sidebar and then click subscribe; you will receive an email asking you to verify your subscription.) Please enter a valid email because this is how I will determine your entry. You can still join the contest even if you don't have a blog just be subscribing through email. that's one entry.

2. Blog about this post, place a link to datelinedavao and use the photo logo of datelinedavao (can be seen on the left side of this post) and leave a comment here after you have done Numbers 1 and 2. that's another entry for number 2 so if you did both numbers 1 and 2 then that's 2 entries.

3. I will assign numbers per entry and will use Random.org to choose the top 4 winners to win Jollibee certificates and 100 Entrecards.

You can link to me if you want (and you will also get a linkback) but this is not a requirement to winning. If you vote for my blog (just click the orange box on the right side) then that's equal to a hundred thank you's from me.

For now, the contest will run up to April 3, 2008. However, I can change my mind and extend the contest depending on the response from my readers (granting I have them ha!ha!).

DatelineDavao is 500 ECs richer

Thanks to DiggItLivedotCOM, I am now 500 EntreCards richer. I got my Ecards barely ten minutes after I complied with the site's requirement---wasn't that fast? For those who have not yet been bitten by the EC mania, it's one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site and also to discover new sites.

I make it a point to go blog hopping not just to look for something to write about but more importantly to read the minds of the blogging gurus who, I hope, will be able to teach me how to drive traffic to my blog and how to monetize my blog.

The Quest For A Higher Page Rank

I am a newbie blogger and while I went into blogging to satisfy a writing itch which was put on hold for several months after I ditched the Bundy Clock, it wouldn’t hurt to know some proven tricks on how to make money online. Luckily, I stumbled upon DigItLivedotCOM and was rewarded not only with a lot of internet marketing and blogging tips but also the chance to win 500 ECs or Entrecards.

I was about to join the EC quest but I got stalled upon seeing that Google is conducting another PageRank update. I know I have good content (although the number of visitors to my site is not yet that great) but I am still at a loss as to how to achieve even a higher Google Page Rank. As you may see, I am still unranked so this is I guess one of the challenges for me as a new blogger.

Well, admittedly, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to monetizing my page and achieving a higher page rank. Well, at least for now, I am assured of 500 ECs---or am I?
