This is the story of how my son started in a nursing school in the Philippines in 2006 and is now in his third year. I then went on to mention some of the things he required, such as nursing shoes and then provided information on George Dewey Medical college.

This actually an example that I'll be using for the next installm

This is part 2 of my SEO series where I explain why and how to have only one website URL pointing a domain and only one website URL pointing to each page.

I included .htaccess code that will handle the internal redirections as well as a PHP script for those who can't use .htaccess (no server support for it). This won't han

This is part one of several articles (or more) concerning SEO in general and somethings that are specific to dynamic websites like blogs and websites that run on PHP as opposed to sites that serve static HTML files.

This is the story of how I learned to bank in the Philippines. Moving from the US to the Philippines is an ordeal in itself. Imagine how difficult it is to make sure you have access to money earned in the US, while living in the Philippines.

I did an exhaustive search for Philippines hotel and resort offering on the net to see if I could find a consolidated list and guess what? I couldn't find one.

I compared a lot of the websites I found with the hotels category in the local yellow pages and saw there were a lot of hotels that weren't listed at all and some o

There are ways to defeat bad scrapers out there. One of them is using Copyscape and then taking action. I'm providing an alternative that works just as well.

Although I'm providing a method to detect the scrapers, it's up to each individual what they decide to do with that information. You can take action or ignore it.

I've been in contact with two people who control media offline. One of them is an old Filipino friend of mine and he's planning to publish some of my Philippines-related articles in a print newspaper in the United States.

The other person is the celebrity known as Art Bell, a radio personality who went into retirement (at

This is basically a brief history of Philippine Airlines and my personal experiences with flights to and from the Philippines.

I'm not making this stuff up. Philippines flights both to and from the United States can get quite expensive as I found out when I got stuck using Continental Airlines in March of 2008. Not only was

At present, there are four Jollibee stores in Olongao City, Philippines and many more in big locations like Manila. The Jollibee Food Corporation also owns "Chow King" and there

My brain is like a sponge; frayed around the edges but it still soaks up the information. After months of reading the free money making information from Vic, Court and Griz and being inspired by commenters, I'm moving onto the next step in my new business, career blogging. But it's not really blogging if that makes any sense

This is basically the 3rd in a series, without being stated as such. I took some repetitive search terms I found in 10 days worth of data from Google Hot Trends and used as many as I could to build an SEO article in disguise. As you can see from the title above, I've already used HeadSpace to add some of the search terms to t

This is an amplification of my post on HeadSpace and the addition of online tools like Google Hot Trends and the Google Webmaster Tools. If you use good analytics programs, you already know what people are finding on your blog. With the tools I mentioned at your disposal, you can find out what they seeing but not clicking on a

You've probably heard of a few other WordPress plugins, like All-in-One SEO, that help you to control the different SEO aspects of your blog(s). Well, I'm here to tell you that HeadSpace has them all beat. It even imports from some of the other plugins.

If anyone knows me by my blog history, you know I don't endorse plugi

This lady needs a miracle. Her husband's truck was stolen and his guitar was stolen. She and her husband need both a vehicle and guitar so that he can earn money giving guitar lessons and fulfilling contracts.

The blogging community did it once before, for me, and I'm attempting to pay it forward somewhat by helping her ou

After seeing Guy Kawasaki and Darren Rowse, as well as numerous other big-time bloggers, doing a bit of Twitter marketing, I decided to do a short piece on Twitter and how it's being used for marketing.

I also mentioned Tweetburner as a means of driving traffic to your blog. I didn't mention that you may need a lot of foll
