Our heartfelt thanks  to the people who prayed for the recovery of my husband. I visited him this afternoon, and I’m so very much happy to tell you that, SELaplana is already fine.

Me and our son baby “CJ” were left at home.

Again thanks to our relatives who take good care of my husband in the hospital. God bless us always!

Get well  soon papa, we love you so much!

It’s been two weeks already that SELaplana is suffering a fever. We thought that it was just  the cause of his wisdom tooth appearance. But we were already worried because, last night he is vomiting. That is why we decided to admit him in the hospital.

Again please pray for the immediate recovery of SELaplana.

By the way this is Mrs. Laplana who posted this article.

Thank you…..

Questions: How to keep the buzz rating up in the cafe world of facebook? What is the cheat to have lots of customers going into your cafe in the cafe world? How to avoid the drop of the buzz rating of the cafe world?

Answer:

Just like what I explained in my post, “Cafe World Cheats,” the buzz rating increases when your customers are being satisfied. But it also decreases everytime there are customers who entered your cafe but failed to eat the food youserve because there might be no vacancy anymore or there are no foods to serve already.

In other words, if you want to keep your cafe buzz rating up, you need to make sure that anyone who will enter your cafe should be entertained and be served by your foods.

But how can you be able to entertain all your customers?

What you need to do is to place enough chairs in your cafe and make sure that all the chairs of every table are accessible. And of course your cafe should have lots of available foods to serve. Then make your food serving efficient without wasting any seconds.

Those who can become a voluntary member of the SSS are those who are:

1. Coverage of Separated Member. A member who is separated from employment or ceased to be self-employed/OFW/non-working spouse and would like to continue contributing.

The person should never have been a member of the SSS. The contributions will be based on 50 percent of the working spouse’s last posted monthly salary credit but in no case shall it be lower than P1,000.

They immediately became voluntary members soon as

Chupacabra literally means “goat sucker”. It’s a cayote like hairless animal that attacks goat, sheep, turkey, and other livestock and then it sucks the blood of the victims until the blood drains. Animals that became victims of the Chupacabra has 2 or 3 puncture wounds on the chest.

Just recently, Lynn Butler a former student of the Blanco Taxidermy School captured a dead cayote-like animal in the barn of his cousin. It was his first time to see it or even touch it that many considered as chupacabra. So, Butler brought the animal to the Blanco Taxidermy School to be stuffed later.

Here’s the photo of the chupacabra:

Actually, chupacabra got famous when it allegedly attacked livestocks in Puerto Rico starting March 1995. Lots of animals had been killed by believed to be a vampire. Then the attacks spreaded to neighboring countries such as Dominican Republic,  Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua,  Peru, Brazil, United States, Argentina, Panama, and Mexico.

The killings at first made the people to wonder what kind of animal responsible for the incident until a hairless dog-like animal that attacked  livestocks had been killed by a rancher in Texas. Then similar animals were sighted in different countries even in the Capiz, Philippines.

Here’s another video that talks about the chupacabra:

My two blogs, “SELaplana” and “Naruto Shippuuden Fan“, are included on the list of the top Philippine Blogs tracked by the Ratified.Org.

I accidentally visited Pinoy Blogero’s announcement of the Ratified’s Top Philippine Blogs when I was searching for the information about the Fertilizer Fund Scam that would help me compose article that would answer a query sent to me by a subscriber of my “SELaplana” blog. And according to the list, My “SELaplana” blog is ranked 2nd and my “Naruto Shippuuden Fan” blog is ranked 21st among the Ratified’s Top 50 Blogs.

I also found out that the Ratified.Org management wrote letters to the owners of the blogs listed on the Top 50 through email “asking them to share the story behind their growth, and be featured” on the Ratified.Org Blog. However, as the blogger behind the two blogs listed on the Top 50, I haven’t received any letters from them. I don’t know if my email account really received those emails and I just missed them because I am actually receiving hundreds of emails everyday. I even wonder if I really read those emails but just forgot to answer them, and that I even forgot that I actually read them.

Anyway, almost all bloggers featured at the Ratified.Org whose blogs are included on the Ratified’s Top Blogs were asked the same questions:

1. What have you done this year for your blog that contributed to its growth?
2. What marketing strategy works best for your blog?
3. How much % of your annual income do you attribute to your blog as the source?
4. What tips can you give to bloggers who would like to achieve blog growth?

And here’s my answer:

Question: What have you done this year for your blog that contributed to its growth?
Answer: Actually, there’s no new thing that I did that contributed to the growth of my two blogs, “SELaplana” and “Naruto Shippuuden Fan” because I was already doing those things since 2005. I regularly posted new articles into my blogs although most of these posts do not show on the front page of the blogs. What I mean is, there are new posts that are shown on the front page of the blog, but most of the new posts are not shown on the front page, not even sent to the subscribers. I also regularly check the traffic statistics of the blogs and study how the visitors discovered my blogs and then think of ways that more visitors will discover the blogs.

Question: What marketing strategy works best for your blog?
Answer: I started what Jehzlau did on his blog, telling my friends to visit my blogs and subscribe from them. But, I found out that SEO or SEO experiment is more effective especially that I want to earn more from my blogs through ads displayed at them. And based on the data collected by the Google Analytics for the current year (2008): 99% of the visitors of the SELaplana blog are coming from Search Result Pages of the Search Engines and 1% of it are the combination of the repeat visitors and visitors coming from other websites and blogs. And regarding to the visitors of the Naruto Shippuuden Fan blog, 82% of the visitors are coming from Search Result Pages of search engines and the rest are repeat visitors and those coming from other websites and blogs.

Question: How much % of your annual income do you attribute to your blog as the source?
Answer: Well, I am a full-time blogger. This whole year, 2008, I don’t have other sources of income but my blogs alone. So, 100% of my income are income of my blogs. However, only 40% of my income is earned by my SELaplana blog, and more or less 15% of my income is earned by the Naruto Shippuuden Fan blog.

Question: What tips can you give to bloggers who would like to achieve blog growth?
Answer: (1) Blog on the topic that you are interested with and regularly write new articles for your blog. (2) Read….Read… Read… and Read…. Don’t stop reading books, ebooks, articles, blogs, news, etc… (3) Learn SEO and apply what you’ve learned into your daily blogging activities. (3) But don’t blog just because you want to earn money, it will only end up to nothing. Just blog for your passion, and you’ll end up earning money through your blogs.

So, congratulation to me !!!

P.S.

By the way, the data collected and shown on the Ratified pages of my two blogs, SELaplana at Ratified and Naruto Shippuuden Fan at Ratified, for the Feedburner Subscribers is not already accurate. The blog’s feed address was changed already from Feedburner.Com to Feedburner.Google.Com. And the FeedBurner Subscriber’s data collected by the Ratified is still coming from the old Feedburner.Com feed. I already emailed the TSupport of the Ratified.Org about it, but there’s still no update made.
