Monetizing Your Blog

January 24, 2008 · Filed Under Blogging, Musings, Marketing · 11 Comments 

I’d have to say that gmtristan.com has made a few bucks ever since I bought my URL. I can’t divulge the exact amount but it really made a big difference since I used this extra cash to purchase my “stuff” - gadgets and more games hehe. Throughout these past few months, I’ve tried a lot of ways to monetize the blog and make money online. A lot of them were referrals from my blogging friends like Wauks, Kiven, Selaplana, Diwa, Chino and Meng. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank these guys for all their help and support.

There were some hits and misses and I thought I’d share with you some of the lessons that I learned throughout this ordeal. It was a great year and this just goes to prove that experience is the best teacher.

The most important ingredient you need in this recipe to make money online are NUMBERS - readers/traffic translate to rankings. Better traffic and better rankings will increase your revenue significantly. You also have to write great and original content and don’t forget to optimize them for better exposure to search engines.

[ infotech ] Recovering Deleted Files

January 22, 2008 · Filed Under Infotech · 4 Comments 

In this day and age, no one is safe from virus, trojans or even accidents. Sure, some people back up data regularly but sometimes, you can’t plan for everything and for every eventuality. Your notebook battery might just go out without a warning or the main power in your building suddenly goes off. Also (it happened to me) you might delete the file and then some wild application (or even viruses) might automatically also wipe out your recycle bin.

If this happens to you, what do you do? You could curse the heavens or you could simply get Handy Recovery, a nifty application that allows you to undelete your important files. Handy Recovery will recognize and recover compressed and encrypted files on your drives. This cool software will recognize ALL windows files!

Features and details after the jump…

Last Saturday, I was with the Waukster at Milton Sy’s (leader of the Bozanian pRO guild) birthday party held at Dencio’s in Greenhills. Let me first greet the guy another “Happy Birthday!” and thanks for a swell and cool party.

It was so fun that Ragnarok players were in their jockeys. Why? I’m sure Waukeen already posted the pics. I’ll try to grab what I can and post it here too. Hehehe!

The snapshot below is from a party we threw for Bacolod RO players when I was there last year.

Anyways, this prompted or inspired me to create a How-to guide on organizing your own EB party for your guild. That, after one more click…

[ video ] Chad Vader

January 21, 2008 · Filed Under Videos · 3 Comments 

Whenever you talk about spoof videos, Star Wars is up there as the most “spoofed”, perhaps with Bush/Osama and the Mac vs. PC ad spoofs.

This one, Chad Vader brought to us by the folks at blamesociety.net has become a cult classic. It’s also one of my favorites and I probably showed it to almost everyone at the office.

Here, Chad Vader is a day shift manager at a local grocery store. Join him and the wacky cast of characters in his adventures to reclaim his position and try to win the girl of this dreams. Promise, it’s loads of fun.
