I've been trying to figure out what can be a good post to start this new project and I ended up clueless after an hour staring blankly at my laptop before dinnertime.
I tried googling down the word "pinoy blogger" to break the "writer's block". As soon as I hit the enter key, I ended up with 859,000 search results in 0.20 seconds (that's fast!). Thank GOD for google search engine's reliability!
An Intriguing Discovery
Trying to identify the good blogs in the search results allowed me to disregard Pinoy Bloggers Directory, which is on the no. 1 spot instead of their blog page couterpart, Pinoy Blogger's Updates. This led me to the question, why will a blog site be taken over by the directory?
I tried browsing through their site and here's what I got:
About The Website
The Pinoy Blogger's Directory is a directory website of blogs owned and managed by Filipinos through out the world.
Most of the blogs included on this directory are manually added by the people administering it and some are added by their respective owners.
Additional Informative Pages
There are a total of 208 websites/blogs that are registered in the website with Personal blogs getting the bigger chunk of the pie on the category page.
They also have the blog page wherein they share tips on the "how to's" of blogging and an update page for the different blogs that is linked directly to their site. Here's a tip I found out when browsing through the site - click the Your Blog Updates link and you'll be directed to their other website's page Pinoy Blogger's Updates with different tabs!
Which is which?
To break the confusion about the 2 pages, it is actually under one domain name only. The main purpose of the blog at first was to become an internet entity to drive in blogs in the Philippines to post their links with the site.
I guess they had a technical issue for the site to be down and decided to add up an additional page for updates and other informative pages.
Final Thoughts
Given that the no. 1 slot for Google search engine (as of June 19, 2010) is Pinoy Blogger's Directory, I'm registering Blog News Ngayon in their website soon and I kind of remember registering my personal blogsite before, I wonder what happened about my previous request...
Anyway,if you're interested to place your links in the website, kindly click here for the site's guidelines.
