I know you’re out there. I can see you online on YM. My heart skipped a beat. Is it really you? But it can’t be. That ID got hacked.

To you I no longer exist. I did not handle things very well, but you know that’s me. I hope someday you too will understand, just like I tried to understand you.

You’ve fallen out of reach, but I know you’re out there.

One of my favorite Jack Johnson songs

Flake
by Jack Johnson

I know she said it’s alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it’s not right
There ain’t no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don’t
I’m so, I’m so tired, I’m so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don’t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we’re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she’s gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn’t want to break ‘em, nah, I wouldn’t want to break ‘em
Maybe she’ll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I’m gonna have to lie to you

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don’t tell me you might just let it go
And often times we’re lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don’t tell me you might just let it go

(Ben Solo’s)

The harder that you try baby, the further you’ll fall
Even with all your money in the whole wide world
Please please please don’t pass me
Please please please don’t pass me
Please please please don’t pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You goin to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don’t drag me
Please please please don’t drag me
Please please please don’t drag me down

Just like your tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all your silly things you do-oo
Please please please don’t drag me
Please please please don’t drag me
Please please please don’t drag me down

On October 9-10, 2007 will be held the first Philippine Search Engine Marketing Conference (SEMCON). Happening at one of my favorite hotels, the Manila Intercontinnental Hotel, the 2-day conference covers topics ranging from:

search engine marketing, search engine optimization, pay-per-click, conversion optimization, web analytics, viral & word-of-mouth marketing and social media & community-driven marketing (taken off the SEMCON website)

Perhaps the main attraction of the said event is the keynote speaker, renowned blogger and search engine marketing guru Aaron Wall, of SEO Book fame.

The ticket price is a bit on the heavy side — 8,500 PhP for the 2-day conference, inclusive of meals and the conference kit. Marc Macalua, SEO Philippines founder and organizer, is giving away free tickets to the said event. All one has to do is blog:

1. convince us, the organizers why you deserve these tickets and
2. what you will do with the tips you’ll pick up at the conference.

I personally would love to get a free ticket, for two reasons:

1. First, I am short of moolah so I will never get to attend the conference unless somebody sponsors me
2. Second because I am certain that I will benefit and learn a lot from the conference, as my SEO knowledge is very rudimentary and limited to advise from friends and techniques gleamed from other websites

I know I will definitely be able to put all of this to good use, being an active netizen and a web developer in real life, where SEO is one of those skills that help you excel.

Interested in participating? Check out the official website or download the SEMCON fact sheet.

Looks like my friend Benj is high on something and decided to make this video. Was at a client’s office when I was watching this and I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. Benj thanks for making my day!

Complete Lyrics of the SEO Song by Benj Arriola

Hey there Google what it’s like to be big daddy?
Tons and tons of website save in your index already,
yes you do, no more supplemental don’t you?
I doubt that’s true.

One day my site disappeared in the SERPs
I wondered why it vanished and was never found beyond page 10
and it was gone, on other data centers gone,
and it was gone.

Oh what you did to me? Ohhh what you did to me?
Oh what you did to me? Ohhh what you did to me?
What you did to me?

Hey there Yahoo I wonder why I was not ranking but in
Google I was number 1 and Yahoo I was on
page 25. I had to pay $299,
and now I’m fine.

Hey there MSN I still don’t understand
why my blogspot and wordpress account outrank my
own official sites. Why you love super old sites
and old links too.

Oh what an industry, ohh what an industry,
Oh what an industry, ohh what an industry,
what an industry.

Now I try my best to rank in all three top search engines and
ask.com still thinks I don’t belong
I go long tail and still I’m gone unless I search for ohh so long…

Hey there Digg, why you banned me, I just dugg all my
sites so I went to Netscape and voted for my stories
now their none, you kicked me out and I’m gone.
So I StumbleUpon

ohh Traffic then increased, ohh Traffic then increased,
ohh Traffic then increased, But no Adsense then banned me,
Adsense then banned me

Ohhh nooo ohhh noooo, OMG.. I will BRB… Ohhh noo..
Adsense GTG… Oh no… Adsense then Banned me… Adsense then banned me… Adsense then banned me… Adsense then banned me… Made Adwords happy… Advertisers happy, Adsense then banned me… Adwords was happy… Adsense then banned me.
