JoizDotOrg

I give. Back when I was SEO trainer (kuno) and team leader for that <insert whatever profanity you feel>-type of office somewhere in the inner recesses of Ortigas, I would never talk about work or anything with that theme in this blog (well maybe except rant and bitch about a sudden f_ck up from one of the trainees or a bashing from the clients. To my workmates, does doding daga ring a bell?). Anyhow this isn’t a f_ck up but it is work-related and not at all. It made me LOL. Literally.

I bet you guys have seen it

This video was made by *the* Benj Arriola. What can I say… Ang cute talaga ni kuya kahit nasa banyo lang! Hahaha *cough* errrm… No really, it was a fun video. Sad SEO story, nakarelate ako sa sentiments! *sniff*

Geek na kung geek. Nerd na kung nerd. Natawa talaga ako. Nice job kuya, the video’s been added to my Youtube favorites.

My apologies for the Shakesperean.

I have been contemplating whether to continue using my .be or not. Apparently, as of press time, my joiz.be is still the most popular joiz according to Google, not that I keep track or anything but for some weird reason I get clicks from that search so I notice it (must be my relatives and friends). I’m also the fifth most popular angel’s lair in google (talk about luck).

It seems joiz.be is still the domain most noticed by the search engines and it seems most people still remember joiz.be than joiz.org. I have still to get use to typing .org on the address bar whenever I visit my own site. But I’ve asked a few friends to change my domain address to the .org and if I move back to .be, I would probably have to ask them to change it back and I’d be just annoying won’t I? See my dilemma here? So what do you think? Should I continue on with .org, put the 301 redirect on .be and don’t look back, or do I move back my blog to .be… Ooooh I’d feel bad for the .org though, it was like a christmas present.

We’ve been used to checking a sample list of our backlinks on Google using the link: operator. Now Google Webmaster Central has announced a tool that could provide a much bigger list of backlinks to website owners of how their site performs. This is like the Yahoo Site Explorer but you would have to verify that you are the website owner to be able to access information about the website.

You asked, and we listened: We’ve extended our support for querying links to your site to much beyond the link: operator you might have used in the past. Now you can use webmaster tools to view a much larger sample of links to pages on your site that we found on the web. Unlike the link: operator, this data is much more comprehensive and can be classified, filtered, and downloaded. All you need to do is verify site ownership to see this information.

I’m just about trying the tool out, it looks useful for those who keep watch of their backlinks on Google. At the back of my mind, this thought just won’t go away: Google finds out who owns which sites but that is better than competition finding more information about your site, right? I’m confused so why don’t you try it out for yourself and let’s share knowledge?
