Hot and Spicey Update from Pinoy Teens Online

Let’s get started.

Pinoy Teens Online is flying on cloud nine right now, but nah, I don’t feel like celebrating it. There has always been something wrong with this blog that has touched me emotionally, while everything else seems to work out really perfectly.  So, let’s set aside those moody emotions of mine and move deeper into what has happened these past few days on Pinoy Teens Online.

Traffic first.

This blog, yes, I’m talking about this blog had a traffic spike of 61,000 visitors on May 3, which was the day when Manny Pacquiao demolished Ricky Hatton inside the ring. It’s something really amazing which I’ll be talking about later with you.

But let’s head to a bigger picture:

As you can see in that picture, we’re currently receiving an average of 8,000 visitors for the month of May due to the huge traffic spike and hold on to a all-time-high 1,900 average hits per day for the year 2009 in contrast to the very low slightly above 1,000 mark we had in average in 2008. The traffic could have never been better, and it’s yet half through May, we assume to hit the 100,000 mark for this month before it ends.

Money Money Money

We devoured three money making posts on this blog already, two of which might have been very notable while the other looks to be a little bit more deceiving, those articles have cashed in 45 in total for us, like 15 per post; and that in U.S Dollars.

We also received donations from the people who have made use of our SopCast player hawt tip on how to watch Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton live, which sums up to 30 U.S Dollars. It makes us really feel good whenever we can help people in need, and the touching story of some of our readers that time seems to be worth all the hard work to get our blog on top for a certain key phrase.

Adbrite has also been on it’s highest notes, a check worth 30 U.S Dollar is on it’s way here, while there are still 40 U.S Dollar still awaiting to mature. But what has really gained much attention in the blogoshpere, even on the blog herald, and on a known Filipino forum, was our AdSense performance which was beyond expectation exceeding all our set goals.

There you have it, a huge fat 500+ earnings in adsense with still half to go of this month, that’s due to the 350 USD one day earning that we made from the Pacquiao fight.

That’s not all, let’s go to comments.

Comments has been quite low, but I can’t deny the fact that we’ve got 800 comments on one article this month that leaves us with no complaints at all.

What’s still ahead of us?

The sub blogs are cooling down again, I’m beginning to be lazy as the school year is about to start, just a little information to everyone who has been asking, yes, I am an Atenean to be this school year 2009-2010 for Information Technology

ps: One last thing that has been worrying me is our stand with Technorati  

Back on Entrecards

My blogs particularly my Personal Domain which moved to studentblogger.net has been always part of the Entrecard Community from the first weeks it started between the third and fourth quarter of 2007. This community, or should I say, well-rounded network of bloggers of various niche and kinds has been the backbone traffic provider to my blog in times search engines appeared to be less interested in the content I wrote, it was there when I started gaining friends, building competitions, and always seeking to be better than those idols of mine.

Entrecard did not only gave traffic which was of decent quality nor did it only provide me with all the bloggers who are just like any other blogger, trying to provide most exposure for their blogs, it has been a place were I learned to be confident about my blogging and the stuff that I provide to my readers. There have been thousands of high quality websites, while others fail at certain ends, all I had to do was to correct their mistakes and I was on the right path again.

I have been misled to the wrong position when I left the community, I was no one big, no one too small, just that I was invisible and out of touch for them (I was ashame you know). I feared to get rejected when going into the discussion with someone of them, and I feared to end up standing out in an displeasing way. I followed some other users of that site, who also decided to leave the walls of entrecard for reasons of low quality traffic, no time to drop and more; it has been one big mistake that I have done, and need to correct now, that’s why I returned to one of the first blogging and social communities that I have been part of in my 2 year online career; hoping to shine brighter, and move further.

Anyone on EC who would like to be my friend? Exchanging RSS Feeds, Comments, or being Loyal Droppers? Or let me ask you, if someone knows about me? I believe that the community on Entrecard has always been kind despite the negative reputation I hear against them round the blogging sphere. So, prove it to me and say hi below in the comment form

Sports Blog!

After days of thinkering what I could do with Pinoy Teens and its sub-domains to take full advantage of everything that Pinoy Teens can over me, I decided to create a few sub-domain blogs, one which will host the old Poetic Notes, another one which shall be of entertainment to Plurk Users, while another blog is dedicated to sports, and mainly to soccer, basketball and sports that are of interest to me. I shall try to do my best to write interesting articles about the latest happening in the sports scene, might it be local or international, the Deutsche Bundesliga or the Barclays Premiere League, I’ll try to cover them all; and that through the sports blog!

Readers of Pinoy Teens Online through RSS Feed are going to have a good time, as they do not need to worry to be left off-the-mark in the latest happenings in the sports scene, as all the most recent scores and hottest issues will be included in your RSS Stream that you receive via email everyday, when you are subscribed to us via Email.

I don’t want to share to this very point how I have worked a way around the WordPress Installation to enable RSS subscribers to stay updated about the latest sports while not getting penalized for duplicate content, it has required me a few hacks on the theme with “trial and errors” and somehow, I have made it.

Once again, I would like to invite everyone to read the sports blog that I will be updating as often as I could which can be found at sports.pinoyteens.net. Hope you’ll be having a great time with me there diving into the depths and the realm of sports. I have started with a short review about the Manchester United vs Tottenham game last weekend and rest assure you that a lot of more articles like that will follow:)

Why Pinoy Teens doesn’t develops

I am certainly aware that it is my fault why subscribers are unsubscribing, why the traffic and technorati rankis dropping and why simply everything is slowly ceasing down this entertainment blog; though, I didn’t had in mind creating this blog an entertainment website, but based on how much this blog is struggling right now, there’s no any other suitable term to use. If it’s not an entertainment blog, then what is Pinoy Teens then?

Before, I was just blogging away, and like I have said to some of my friends, this blogging has become more on a chore for me, playing games on my Laptop are hindering me to continue the development, and within myself there are some feelings and ideas that have altered. I’m wondering if I’m really that blogger wannabe that I was once back then, or am I just confused about all the stuff that is hitting me right now and just need time to seek a way through this adversity?

Another thought that I have in mind that this blog just won’t develop anymore is the domain itself, which indeed sounds interesting to the younger fellas of ours and the majority of the reader target for now, but it won’t live up to its meaning in the next couple of years when I grow older as I am about to hit the 18th year of my life this June 13, 2009. A name change might possibly be the case here to get things going once again, but a good question would be to what a name? And how I should do all the stressfull work once again? It’s really tiring kicking off a blog, but it’s also making me feel restless to revive something that cannot be revived anymore, the spirit that Pinoy Teens once before had owned.

I’m really clueless what I should do with this website right now, if anybody cares to take care of this website, let me know, if anyone wants to buy this crappy online space, let me know. Just free me from this task of maintaining something that I cannot anymore maintain.

It’s Summer Time

But I cannot feel the summer excitement filling my mind and heart. I’m still bothered by what I should do with this blog, and it appears like I’m not the only one who needs to locate his flow to writing. I have thought about changing a few things around this summer, and even help out someone with setting up her blog (which I have not finished just yet).

ps: I’ll be returning comments tomorrow, Monday.

There’s a big problem that is hindering me to pursue whatever stuff I would like to push through with, and it appears that I need to do something, before it gets out of control. My habit to blog has decreased and deceased. I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe a little challenge, just like I have considered one of my favorite blogs a challenge before might be just the inspiration that I need. But the next best thing that I could look up to is buying something that priceless that my 2 Dollars per day at Adsense cannot afford. I wonder when I could reach that far?

For now, I have thought about trying my best to fit in within the community, communicate with other bloggers, blog about their articles, discuss matters and of course continue what I have done the best so far, posting entertainment related articles that keep the traffic alive here. A series of blogging tips has been released here already, but it looks like no one is really interested in making use of them. And it’s also like I’m the only one who has these problems of taking care of comments right now.

I’m really down right now. Confused on where this blog is heading to, or where I am, specifically heading to. The bills are in red right now, the traffic is at minus 30% from the last month, and everything is just falling down on me. I wanted to ask one of my readers for assistance again, but I’m too ashamed, since I blabbered much about how comfy I am at paying my hosting bills. But it looks like I need to turn to my readers again to help me out for now, as I am still doing what I can to get the blog back going…. or maybe it’s already, dying?

Well, what  I have done so far since my graduation day [1. which I'll be talking about in a latter post.] isn’t much. I was able to get a blog started which will be authored by a friend of mine who’s other friend thought that he is involved or addressed with a emotional post that I wrote. I was also able to sort things out at my personal blog which ain’t be a blog anymore, but more like a Online Resume or Contact form (thanks to this awesome theme I found) that should represent me to people who are interested in knowing me better.

A new blog that will be authored by yours truly has also been just installed and is dubbed as the Love Bug Love Blog. Some might ask what Poetic Notes is gonna do during the mean time, but the PR update is pretty self explanatory.

Problems like this and that have worried me very often in my blogging life. And I was able to miraculously rescue myself and lift the PR4 baby during the opening of this year, which dropped to a numb PR2 two weeks of the year 2009 -until a couple of days ago- back to it’s usual standard which is a Page Rank 3 out of 10 possible marks.

Where I need to get my hands on is on how to get the comments going as I need to take more care of them. I should also find a way how I get my Technorati Statistics rise. But before anything else one of the most important things that I should look up to is getting my will to blog again. I don’t know where I have left or lost the will, the inspiration and motivation to get this blog and the others going. Plurk has become pretty addictive lately especially now where I have gained a lot of new friends and fans. I cannot do everything at the same time but have to choose, to become the blogger, or the plurkstar (befriend me) who’s right on the move

Constantly Improving?

I don’t think so. I have been constantly dropping from simply every single aspect that you might want to take a look at my blog. Visitors, comments, rankings, statistics, revenue, advertisers, sponsors, interesting articles and readers. The only thing that is increasing right now is the amount of readers who are subscribed to my feed and that is courtesy to the little contest that we are hosting right now.

This has been a big hole that I have digged my self into, and still I have not taken any action just yet. Nor have I done my part to take care of the comments on the blog. There’s a lot that need to be worked on and I feel so enraged by the fact that I am yet an even more under-achiever than I was a year ago. About a year ago I had a problem, the problem was in relation with my page rank, since this blog had a very little tiny page rank of 1, since it fell from it’s PR 3 before that tragic update.

I promised that I can get the problem resolved and get back on track again, and I eventually did so, I even reached a bit further than I thought, but now I’m back at a level where I need to get my ass off from the chair and get work done again. Where should I start? What should I do? Well, let’s see, but I assure you that I will find a way through this problem this summer, just like I always did during Summer Time. Expect more entertainment that should keep the blog on track with traffic, but of course interesting teen related articles to be posted by our guest posters, contributors, authors, or even me. Also, watch out for the blog network that I have worked around behind the scene as all of my blogs, yes, from the emotional, to the personal aspect are going to be moved right here, to Pinoy Teens Online as a sub domain blog.

It sounds awful, for a matter of fact that I did not improve even a bit from my statistics last year. I’m still there where I started, and I guess that’s just the sign that I need to do better this year to get a bit further than I am now expecting from myself.

There have been a lot of people who have expected more from me for 2009, especially during the short fame that I had. But where is that fame gone now? Being a 29th placer in on Ratified? It’s non-existent anymore, but it doesn’t mean that I cannot get back to it. Or, maybe, I can’t?

Our Teen Magazine shuts down

We’ve been updating you about the lucrative idea of creating a Philippine Teen Magazine website which ended up to be our dummy, PinoyTeens.Org. But we’re sad to say that, that particular website will be taken down and automagically transformed into a general source for updates about our network of authors, where we, the authors of Pinoy Teens Online and several other websites will keep you updated with our stuff which has not quite any relation to the work we’re doing here.

Yes, the Teen Magazine that we’ve announced a couple of weeks ago won’t push through anymore, just like Kevin has told me a while ago, asking me to nail down this first post since a few months of not being active on this website, and since Kevin has announced that I will be writing again for him on this blog.

Philippine Teens who have subscribed to our feed via email or their favorite RSS readers might be disappointed, since they won’t see the site through, which was supposed to be the Philippine Teen portal for them. Nevertheless, Pinoy Teens Online will continue to exist and deliver all the information that you’re in need of. Just a couple of tweaks here and a few edits there, we’ll be back writing about the things that interest you the most, and we’ll be hosting a little contest for all the teens not only in the Philippines.

What do you think about this guys?

Update: Design & Author

I’ve been busy for the past two weeks, examinations, projects, and everything else that could bump my way has come my way, really. The blog hasn’t earned me a cent in February, I need to make a few cents out of it to keep my hosting bills green, and that’s why I’ll be back on blogging and blog about the topic that I do best blog about, and that’s blogging itself. Just that I won’t get a new domain under my ass to get things started, but blog on this domain name of mine, pinoyteens.net.

There has been a lot of changes in the past couple of days on this domain name, for those who have been visiting us frequently, you might have noticed the huge change in design on our blog page, for those who are here for the first time, welcome to the newly designed Pinoy Teens Online.

Indeed, the design looks much simple and very unprofessional, but that is exactly what persuaded me to use this design. I needed to grab something more simpler and user friendly, vibrant color to stick to the concept, as a blog for teens, even if the topics often go beyond the teenager zone and reach as far as entertainment concerns. But that’s just one aspect that I will be working on.

Aiding me in the revival of this blog will be my dearest friend Izy Mae, as she’ll be handling topics about online games and related content that will bring out the gamer in you. There are still going to be a few design changes here and there and of course, a new link page where all the links are going to be placed. I’ll be roaming around at other blogs again to get their links up here whilst we can get ours up on their website. It’ll be a though call but I’ve made it once before about a year ago, and I strongly believe that I can repeat the fame that this blog once has brought me, even if I won’t get the fame that I once had through blogging on this domain, I hope that the day will come where I can say at least, “I’m loving blogging again..”, which I really ain’t loving this very moment I am writing.

Looking back to the start.

A while ago, I was still thinking about what I should be writing about in my next big post on Pinoy Teens. Until I realized that every post is something big, it just depends which type of audience you try to cater and how you deliver such kind of article. With all these professionalism discussion, I find it hard to cope up with a quality post that could interest both old and new readers of this web blog nor the ones who arrive here from search engines. I had enough of all that and was at the rear shore of breaking this blog ones again into pieces, just like I have broken the bond that was within this community years back.

The domain name itself, Pinoy Teens dot Net is under my possession since the 25th of June, 2007. It was registered for me for free on a website that gave away free domain names for some posts that you do on their board. (could you imagine that, that I got this domain name at actually no cost at all?) It was formerly registered on domainrightnow.com and eventually moved to namecheap.com before I renewed the domain for another year in the middle of 2008. These geeky information isn’t what actually matters, but the stuff that’s about to follow is what does.

I’m still alive

Yes, I am still alive and this post intends to let you know that I am still alive and kicking, it’s just that I am unable to update this blog for now. Other projects and the mind breaking decision whether to purchase a new domain name or develop an existing domain of mine is bugging me right now. I’m glad to deliver a few updates and inform you that the educational website is almost ready to kick off, I only need to customize the site from the monetizing perspective. And I’d aslo like to let you know that aside from the said site above, I have developed a Teen Journal, where I will commit all hawt posts from the Pinoy “Teen” Blogoshpere, and that of course, manually. Some of those posts will also be shown here at Pinoy Teens Online just for everyones sake and to give a little credit to their respective authors and lastly, give some new updates to our readers about what Filipino Teens are doing.

I’ve recently received a call from someone who asked my help to seek for middle class Pinoy Families whose parents are strict. Who can afford to have one or two additional members in the family for a week and who are interested to appear in a internationally seen documentary. If you are one of those who are willing to take part of this program then please let me know by leaving a comment below.
