Pay per click syndrome infects facebook users

Facebook has taken the Philippines by storm as it is now the fastest growing social networking site in the country.

Filipinos, being natural networkers, are creating Facebook accounts at a very fast clip.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Friendster is being abandoned.

I know quite a few people who are actively maintaining personal accounts in Friendster, Multiply and Facebook. I just wonder how they find time for it.

I recently noticed that the pictures of a very pretty Japanese pornstar, Maria Ozawa, is being tagged with the names of several facebook users. Some are Filipinos.

Getting tagged in facebook makes your profile appear in the news feed of your network of friends.

The fan club of Maria Ozawa also gets advertised.

I wonder if someone is doing a facebook experiment.

Life-Threatening Dilemma, A Non-Adsensical Story

I got it! After a furious exchange of two emails and, since there is no appeal process, resubmissions, I finally got an Adsense account. This has given rise to a life-threatening dilemma: to delete or not to delete? That is the question.

Resolution of The Dilemma is of paramount importance, so I called Me, and Myself to a conference.

I: "Guys, I have good news and bad news. Good news, we have an Adsense account."


Me: "What's the bad news?"


I: "Well, after giving it much thought, I don't know what to do with our blog, The Legally-Recycled Bachelor."


Myself: "Who is the Legally-Recycled Bachelor? Do we know him?"


I: "Don't mind him. He's been forgetful lately. Must be the late hours he has been spending tracking porn sites. Anyway, do we delete our blog and just create a new one? We have been skating on thin ice. Referring to self-clicks, spambots, tracking porn sites and, worst of all, referring to Yahoo!. We've been really walking on a tightrope."


Me: "Delete our blog!?! Unthinkable! Haven't you seen the traffic we've been getting? What about the links? We already have three. We can't just abandon those poor people with Pay Per Click Syndrome. Aren't you also afraid of Pinoy R.N.? She's a nurse and nurses are very skillful with sharp objects. Besides, I am a good acrobat. Walking on a tightrope is my thing."


Myself: "Isn't Pinoy R.N. the pretty nurse? Not much luck getting my medication from her though, always insisting to see prescriptions."


I: "So, what do we do? We can't possibly put Adsense on our blog. You know, people might not really understand what our blog is all about. We ourselves haven't even resolved that. And this has to come up."


Me: "I suggest that we continue this blog and create another one. We can put Adsense there and just let things click into place. What do you say, guys?"


I: "Fine. Put the link on this post, will you? Hey, Myself! What are you smoking!?!" Click me, ok?

An Emerging Disease, the Pay Per Click Syndrome

We click our own ads, proudly!

This is the slogan for the support group I intend to put up for those afflicted with the Pay Per Click (PPC) Syndrome. The slogan is copyrighted, so don't use it.

Instead, as Nike tells you, just do it. Click your own ad, proudly!

The Pay Per Click Syndrome is similar to Tourette's but it requires the presence of a mouse to manifest itself.

While the cause of the disease is still unknown, the disease is spread by a carrier called the monetization bug.

The palpable symptoms are the delirious and almost unstoppable desire to monetize a personal website during office hours.

Dilbert calls this pretending to work.

Sounds familiar?

If you feel that you belong to this group, wait for my announcement when I will be getting your email.

I am still constructing the site that you will access. I am having a bit of a problem with my spambot. Fortunately, I have an RSS feed.

Be patient. Things will come up sooner than you can click. Also, let us chat about Amazon Associates and eBay, will you?

I have a mailing list I wish to auction. And a book about methods and techniques to get it.

I promise, should I ever get an Adsense account, I will click my own ads too, ok? I am willing to bet your life on it.

I almost forget, please do link to my blog.

Lipat-Bahay, An Adsense Story

I have been blogging at bloggerparty.com using the same blog title, The Legally-Recycled Bachelor.

I was told by PinoyRN and Romskee that I have been generating "reads".

The "reads" were indicated at the bottom of each post and the most "reads" I have at this point is 45. The article's title is "Sex in the Philippines and Google Trends".

It is not really surprising because the word sex is competitive.

Two things triggered the transfer to this site.

First, a suggestion by Romzkee when she visited my bloggerparty blog. I don't know how to thank you Romzkee. You really are heaven sent.

Second, I made a mistake in the URL I sent to Adsense, so my application was denied.

I am new to blogging you see, and URLs weren't discussed in class when I was in college. During this time, the Internet was still called Arpanet.

[I was enrolled in the BS in Computer Science program, by the way.]

Unfortunately, there is no appeal process indicated. Thus, sealing my fate. I wouldn't be able to participate in the revenue-sharing scheme of the site.

The skin I have chosen has a very homey feel. You will notice that all the useless parts are on the right side of the page. The most useful features are at the bottom, written in fine print.

Hmmmm....it feels very much like Yahoo!.

In case you are afflicted with the Pay Per Click Syndrome, just go back to your blog and start clicking the ads.

I don't have Adsense, so, just use yours in the meantime, ok?

About The Blog

This is a Filipino blog by a Filipino bachelor. The topics on this blog will be rambling rants on Philippine education, Philippine outsourcing industry, TVET (technical vocational education and training) and ladderized education.

The blog also attempts to provide a satirical commentary on web site monetization, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and the Internet.

This blog will also touch on my fumbling attempts to move on with life at almost 40.

The Legally-Recycled Bachelor

You may be wondering why I have chosen "The Legally-Recycled Bachelor" as the blog title. It is really simple. It refers to how I regained my preferred civil status.

I may be putting a positive spin on things, but, hey, that is just the way I am. I think positively.

But I don't believe my blog will reflect this characteristic, though. Tough luck.

It is also almost certain that in spilling out my guts, the insightful reader will eventually understand why I am legally-recycled and, up until now, still a bachelor.

I do not promise to be logical, articulate, grammatically correct, insightful, intelligent and wise. Nor do I promise to be mature, respectful, politically correct and polite. I JUST CAN NOT.

I wouldn't be The Legally-Recycled Bachelor in the first place if I had some of those attributes, would I?

And depending on my mood, there will be visceral ejaculations that you may find inappropriate, mean and offensive. Should this happen, feel free to send an email or post a comment.

One thing I promise, should you happen to be disagreeable, I will try to be tolerant and understanding.

Just send me your picture, contact details and vicinity map so I can ask a neighbor to bring you flowers.

If not, then a picture will do. I'll have to ask another neighbor to just hex you.

I am sure you understand. After all, this is my blog.
