Feedburner Is Now Acquired by Google

The Chicago-based feed management and advertising company FeedBurner will soon be totally added to the many trophies of the biggest search engine - Google. This will be part of Google's program to look for ways in identifying and offering new tools for many content writers and publishers according to the Google blog. This will hopefully be an additional and wider distribution venue for the internet users and therefore would also help many affiliate marketers in both direct and indirect ways.

Feed burner is a leading feed distribution and management tools in Chicago for the service of the different sectors including bloggers, podcasters and feed creators. Since this is a sure fact that Google will son launch, many bloggers and podcasters have been looking forward to the enhancement of the service for their benefit and advantage. Since a web feed is a way for every online publishers to syndicate their content and deliver it straight to the target visitors and readers, this will be another great service for most webmasters also that fall in the SEO arena.

Since contents are rarely not monetized these days, this new service will hopefully reach a significant target user increase since the acquisition of the feeds service of the said company last June 1, 2007 as announced by Google in their daily bread- The Google Blog. To widen the service of the company, FeedBurner will now be offering some sort of a "feed advertising platform for advertisers to reach engaged feed readers through targeted in-feed ads and innovative techniques like RSS feed-driven ads" according to Google.

Tell Me What You Think About This AdSense Ad

" Take a look at this ad below i only saw in a forum today and tell me what you are thinking about it. "

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE BUY ADSENSE SITES - NEED CASH? READ THIS

Description:
All we do is buy websites with Active AdSense revenue attached to them. We pay you in advance for the AdSense revenue your site WILL generate.

Sites must be bringing in a minimum of $5/Day or $150/Month in AdSense revenue.

We buy hundreds of sites every month, strictly based on their AdSense revenue value.

We do not buy sites that "buy" traffic for AdSense revenue.

You must provide proof of AdSense revenue for the last 90 days.

To sell us YOUR AdSense revenue site please email us your contact information, the domain of your site, and proof of AdSense revenue for the last 3 months (AdSense snapshots).

Historically we buy approximately 50% of sites presented to us. Payment is made via Paypal.

Please feel free to email me or PM me with any questions.

We also buy complete groups of AdSense sites.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I never knew this type of ad could ever exist because if you will just notice the requirements of their buying your AdSense site, it has to be earning at least $5.00 /day or $150.00/ month which to me could be something significant. If my site is earning this amount of revenue why would i sell it to them? That's the point.

Another thing is they say they are buying at least 50% of those that come to them to sell those AdSense sites. The question is, What happens if they decline to buy your AdSense site? What now for you. Would it be still possible for you to earn as much as you are earning now that they know what keywords you are tartgeting for the AdSense?

What assurance do you get out of opting to sell your AdSense site which in reality is selling your "secret keywords" to them? what happens if they don't buy your site? What happens to your keywords? That's the legitimate question at hand here. As we all know how AdSense works, its all about those secret keywords which others are not seeing.

And how much would they be interested to buy your AdSense site just in case? Would it be just based on the revenue? Go see for your self.

Google Generated Sitemaps for $5.00

I recently learned that Google is charging for their sitemap generated content at $5.00 per data. The data to be downloaded is to be paid via paypal and i just got interested at posting this new knowledge that i learned while i was playing around with the sitemap generation tool that i got interested lately to help me out on my SEO-related travels in the web. I will be using this data because i saw that there are 2 broken links reported therein and i do not have any knowledge also about those broken links and i also do not know anything about broken links and how they may affect our online business, specially our websites.

I believe that i should know all bout this because i have to learn how to use the tool and at the same time see and learn all the possible benefits that i could use for my growing number of websites today. Actually although they were all just blogs hosted under blogger and wordpress and myspace, i believe as a webmaster of this century that i need to learn all the necessary tools to use in SEO and in my continued learning in the field.

Since i do not know yet anything about sitemaps and how they cn be used to the advantage of any webmaster, i decided to take a look at the offers of Google through the webmaster account that i jsut recently got to sign up. I also learned that there are lots of things that i can learn out of having a webmaster's account at Google since i will need them also on my new AdSense account which i also had recently signed up with.

The point of this post is to simply let others know that my curiosity led to discovering that as a webmaster we could use the sitemap generated data to be able to understand what it is that is happening in our own websites through the details that we could possibly get out of the sitemap.

Glass Arts and Kitchen Beauties

Beautiful Glass Arts:

Glass arts and glass artists are one of my most adored art of all. I find glass arts as one of the most difficult art a person or artist may indulge himself into because glass arts are really very hard to understand and technically accomplish as an artist. I have once seen a great glass artist that seem to make glass making arts as easy as eating a piece of the pie. He has the greatest vision as an artist and the hands of a god of glass arts of his generation although he is not much of an aged artist himself. I admit i envy him for that because i have always wanted to do extreme glass artist art works. I didn't get his name but all i can say is that he is truly an artist on the shelf that belongs to the many tokens of appreciation as trophies. I must say that he really amazed me so much that i even forgot to get his actual name. Amazed at how he twists the golden orange flames coming from the raw glass that he is holding in his hand using some metal clip to do the twisting and the carving of the glass art that he is doing i stared at him in awe and envy .

The Glass Artist:

I have seen him make a horse in just about a minute or two. it was really an amazing art for me but i am not as lucky as he is i guess when it comes to glass arts and making one. The house that can be seen in the background while he is making a glass art is also very enticing and intriguing as i take at look at it. There were really a lot of smorgasbord od beautiful glass arts in almost all types of glass arts ranging from beautiful chandeliers, vases, figurines, mirror art sculpted sides that somehow beautify the small "tokador", crystaline glass colored crystals and many more.

Kitchen Motif:

Have you even seen a glass motif of a kitchen? I can only tell you it could be the best kitchen motif you could ever see. I have seen myself some tempered glass arts of spoon, fork, pans, cooking woks in different beautiuful sizes, and would you even believe that i have seen some interesting and beautiful glass crafted kitchen utensils and and cooking utensils? Yes i do find them all interesting and arful in terms of glass arts and kitchen motifs. Other people would prefer a wooden motif but i nevertheless not because although they were cool specially in summer, they don't really smell that good in the rainy days and here in the Philippines it's not as good a motif because almost half the year we were experiencing rains and heavy ones specially in the typhoon seasons.

My Dream Kitchen:

My dream kitchen has always been that which could possibly accomodate a large number of visitors and food in the table. I also would like to have glass as the motif and most used ornament and utensils because glass is very relatively easy to clean up and clean looking all the time. They appeal so much for me and i love looking at those cute and clean glasses all the time and that is why i prefer glass arts and glass motif kitchen in my mind and all the time.

Kitchen On A Blog

Beautiful kitchens have always amazed me whenever i see a good looking one going to a friend's house and seeing the kitchen dimensions and never ceasing to touch the kitchen "muebles" that i find so irresistably adorable and worth the attention. These sorts of sights make me wantto write a blog about as i have always loved doing. One of my greatest dreams since childhood is seeing my own beautiful kitchen on my own house and possibly designing it with my own kitchen artful hands and basing the design itself from my imaginations and well-loved favorite design collections. Blog about a kitchen i so find beautiful is also a feeling that makes me so happy that i want to almost jump for joy. See kitchen sights below that you would find adorable and maybe decide to have one inside your beautiful homes.

The image “http://www.ldesignsonline.com/design_remodeling_homeimprovement/g-portfolio_row2.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. images derived from >>> www.ldesignsonline.com/
I have a collection of beautiful kitchen designs that i saw lately from an internet website and i never stopped to dream about them since that very same day. It will be for sure that i will have my own in the near future and i would estimate it to be by the opening of the year 2008. My own house and my own kitchen customized and designed by me, it has to be one of the greatest feelings that i will have when the time comes and i can't wait for that day it seems.

There's no stopping for me to getting things that i want this year and the year to come because i will get all the job outsourced to me by my brother and the start of that fulfillment is now going on. My own dream kitchen and my own dream blog where i can discuss a lot about such passion for. I love this current job that i have doing in my computer writing blog and blogging about any blog i want to and find interesting and this will help me make sure that i will get the things and stuff that i want through this job plus the current job that i have that is giving me a little more than what i expected. everything is going right this time and i will not let anything else get in the way but instead add up concentration for my dream kitchen and a blog that gives me lots of leads and visitors taking a lo0k at to get things going smoothly.

Dream kitchens are just around the corner and i am planning to get one for my new home come next year. It may not be as spacious as it is but i dreamed of a service kitchen that would accomodate my love for foods and cooking for my family. At the same time, i would like to blog and brag about in the web and to my friends and colleagues.

Blogs are my way of getting out those remaining stress that i have accumulated while working and travelling for work.

The Battle of Cebu Boxing

Today, "The Battle of Cebu" is about to take place in the boxing arena of the Cebuanos the Cebu City Sports Complex. Featured by ABS-CBN, the fight will begin 9:30 PM PST. The fight will feature four of the greatest Filipino fighters that promises to add to the country's honor that was restored by the Philippine boxing hero Manny "pacman" Pacquiao who defeated two of the greatest legendary fighters in his division namely Eric "El Terrible" Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera.

The Battle of Cebu - "Moment of Truth" (see video in this link) is scheduled to bring championship calibre fights for the locals here in the Philippines brought by Dela Hoya Promotions. The first fight is between Jimrex Jaca and Simson "The Terminator" Butar Butar where Jaca won the WBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight championship by TKO on the seventh round. The second fight is between Z Gorres and Fernando Montiel for the WBO Super Flyweight title where Z Gorres lost by a split decision and was not able to take the belt from the defending champion, Montiel. The third fight is between Bert Batawang, a 35 year old veteran Filipino and an Indonesian Sofyan Efendi who is just a 19 year old slugger with a champion's track record in terms of fights. The Filipino won by TKO also and i am convinced that he will go the distance with his next fights because of the southpaw stance that he was able to display and make use of effectively to win the fight.

The final fight took place between Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and Montiel Gonzales where the Filipino fighter only took three rounds to finish the oponent to win the vacant WBO Youth Super Bantamweight crown along with his other title which is The WBO Intercontinental belt.

There was another fight included in The Battle of Cebu - "Moment of Truth" ( see 5-part video primer in this link ) series of fights but i was not able to see it aired and shown and i was not able to see the results also. The fight is between Alex John Banal and Komrit Lukkuongmuekol.

MSN Sandboxed Site

For three to four days now i have been searching for answers from forums and other webmaster friends if it's possible that MSN also had sandboxed site. First i would like to clear out the cobwebs in my mind because i have only heard about the sandboxed sites in Google but this time, it's a site of a good friend of mine.

I have heard twice now that MSN also does this in the forums that i visited the other night. Some were also complaining about the alleged sanboxed sites that they own. To think that they also have just experienced this just the other month, i could assume that MSN has this new basis foir sandboxing site/s but what could it be for? That of course is the question.

Sooner or later, one of us would also take the same path as what fate my friends site suffered. I am hoping that it won;t happen to my sites. Because they were only blogspot sites, i have been giving it a boost for my link building services which i do in my extra time.

If Google does this and so does MSN, will Yahoo be next. I've never heard that Yahoo ever sandboxed any kind of site to this day and i hope this is not the start of a new era of difficult link building practices for many SEO like me in the link building business.

See you guys at the Metro Phi Resto Bar tonight at 7:00 PM for the SEO contest awards night.

Google Backlinks, Gone After a Few Days

I have been looking at the links that all my sites has been able to achieve. Right after my explorations of the six sites that i have been building up links with, i noticed that Google is kind enough to give me the links that somehow i feel all my sites really deserve. Odd thing is that after a few days, maybe four, i suddenly noticed that all the links disappeared from the Google search that i have been monitoring after the update was released.

How come the sudden disappearances of all the links that i feel was hard earned by my sites and the sites that i have been doing link building jobs with? I am actually planning on using them all as part of my other link building explorations for which i am interested in doing and implementing for other companies and sites that i have been promoting. The relief that i felt after finding out that Google has somehow loosen up its allowable links for their index to webmasters was replaced by sadness because i thought at first that it could be the start of a more fruitful and progressive way of dealing with the links that Google has been making it hard for most webmasters to earn for their sites these days. Imagine that you could even rank your site in Google search with some target keywords yet you still have no backlink at all indexed by the search engine itself.

I almost got myself into thinking that maybe this certain happening is the more pushing away link builders like me to sort out for a more definite and sure way of building up and getting links for the said search engine's index and that is to resort to black hat techniques to be able to get what we need - backlinks. since everybody knows that backlinks is one of the most powerful factors that any website has to attain to be able to make it to a target margin of traffic to generate for a site that is being promoted through link building. Furthermore, any site in the web today needs backlinks to be able to rank high in search terms and keywords that you are aiming for. These backlinks in return gives any site the liberty to generate traffic and that it needs to increase ROI for the site and maximize the revenue that any webmaster and website owner is aiming for.

Before this incident happened, i used to have about a standard 6 up to 8 backlinks in my name for my six personal websites but after about four days of comfortably looking at them in every search that i did every night trying to see if Google will increase in terms of indexing my link building efforts, i was suddenly stunned to see that they have all gone somewhere else other than on my websites and i don't know where or how come. Sorry for this post because i was not able to save a still copy of the Google search page where i found my links with, a few days ago.

Although before i was comfortable at just typing in my sites for the Google site explorer box and never finding even one result on their index, when i found out about the results i almost shouted for joy. Well, it's not really everything and in fact not much of a big deal or something but it almost caught up my attention and got me to speeding up my link building jobs so as to speed up also the increase in the number of backlinks that i will be generating for the sites that i am promoting including my own websites. At least, i am happy the way that Yahoo has been treating my sites and the way that they have been generating the backlinks that i need for the work that i am currently doing for myself and for my clients.
