Randy Marasigan

I got an email from Chitika 2 days ago about their new advertising format. They came out with a new ad unit (a BIGGER unit actually) for publishers/bloggers to boost their online earnings.

The new Chitika Premium unit is called the MEGA-Unit, a [550×255] pixel sized ad format. According to Chitika this particular unit’s CTR is 4 times higher than other ad units, adding a massive increase in clicks and revenue.

PageRank update and SERP

April 10th, 2009

Randy Marasigan

As you know, Google had another Pager Rank update last April 1. All of my blogs including this one got a PR boost except for my tech blog (which I barely update).

Randy Marasigan dot com is now PR 4 from PR 3 and my News Blog (Daily Contributor) also got the same PR rank now. That’s good news right? Maybe.

Bloggers want a high PR, because high PR will give you a slight advantage over other bloggers with lower PR when it comes to SERP (Search Enging Result Page) ranking.

5×5 Rubik’s cube professor!

April 5th, 2009

Randy Marasigan

I’m very much fascinated by the Rubik’s cube since I was a child, wondering how can I be able to solve it? That mind blasting puzzle with 6 colors? I’ve tried… but I failed, I tried again many times and at last! I managed to solve just 1 face, just one color, not even 1 layer. I was frustrated, I’ve decided to quit trying. I cannot solve that sh#t!

Now! I’m not a child anymore but that dream was still there and managed to evolve into a more difficult path. It’s different now because I can now solve a 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube in under 2 minutes (with practice)! Yahoo! I have already solved the 4x4x4 Rubik’s Cube Revenge. So, what’s next? off course, I have to take it to the next level and that is solving the 5x5x5 Rubik’s Cube Professor. Yay!

What is Canonical Link Element?

What is Canonical Link Element?

It can help site owners with duplicate content issues. Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Microsoft Live announced their support for canonical link element.

I believe that the man that can best explain “canonical link element” is Matt Cutts. So, watch his video explanation below:
