The article was written 2 days ago on February 28, but I have known only about it just this day. Thanks to Internet marketing guru Jomar Hilario who posted it to my Hakuna Matata! Facebook page wall.
(No, we’re not related. I have not even met the man.)
Anyway, the article I was referring to is the one written by pinoymoneytalk titled “The 50 Top-Ranked Blogs in the Philippines“.
The big deal? This site is ranked #19 on that list. Yippee!
A website can’t be called as such if it has no links. Links direct readers to any part of your site. Think of it as a map.
It can also provide a rich experience for them if you provide links of websites related to your articles.
As such, it is important to check your links from time to time. Because sometimes, links become broken due to several factors: expired domains, deletion or you just simply wrote the wrong link in the first place.
Seven months after my 500th blog post last March 30, I have reached another site milestone today: this is my 1,000th blog post.
While it has taken me 410 days to write the first 500 articles, it only took me 212 days for the next 500. That’s 2.36 per day.
Since my niche is about sports and entertainment which are pretty much loaded with tons of daily news, I can say that I seldom lack topics to write about. However, I usually only select those that generate the highest amount of public buzz. Trust me, even if you don’t make the first page of a search engine results page (SERP) and as long as your article is already indexed, you will still gain significant amount of traffic to your site with the sheer amount of people looking for information on that day’s hot keyword.
Which is better, Infolinks or Clicksor?
Today, I decided to stick to one and junk the other.
I have been utilizing Infolinks since April 2009 while Clicksor only last November 2009.
Both of these advertising networks offer a good complement to Google Adsense. I use Infolinks for its in-text ads (those links that appear in texts of a web page) while I use Clicksor for its interstitial ads (those ads that appear in-between pages).
On my 500th blog post, I have related that since this web site’s birth last February 12, 2009 to March 30, 2010, this has already been visited by 719,940 unique visitors .
Now two months and 171 more blog posts later, I’m proud to say that another significant milestone has been reached.
This web site has already received its 1 millionth unique visitor this evening.
Hakuna Matata! was officially launched last February 12, 2009 with my first ever blog post titled “The Ark is Now Ready to Sail“.
More than a year later; 410 days to be exact, here I am making my 500th blog post. That means in that span, I was able to churn out an average of 1.22 posts per day.
Wow! I didn’t expect I’d be as prolific a writer as this. In my quest to make money online, I was able to write this many. In comparison with my second web site, I was only able to publish 70 posts in 1 year for an average of only 1 post every 5.2 days. Well, that one was really not meant for making money online.
As the 500th blog post, this is a report on what has transpired over the past 410 days it has taken me to write this many.
