Notable quotes

* Fortunate lang ako na yung first client ko is napakasupportive na i-SEO yung website nya para matest ko rin SEO (Seach Engine Optimization).

* Ang pinakabasic kasi sa talaga sa SEO, the more website na nagmention ng website mo, those are considered votes patungo sa website mo. As much as possible, mamention ang website mo ng other website. Pag namention sya, para syang vote of confidence na ang mangyayari is magrarank ka over those na nag aaspire din na magrank.

* Actually hindi naman mahirap yung SEO. Dapat mo lang malaman ang basics kasi don naglalaro sa basic. Kasi kung aaralin mo talaga ang whole SEO, there are around 200 ranking factors na dapat mong aaralin. Pero, if you know the basic, kasi naman yung Google, yung kino-consider nya is mga basic lang which part ng link na ibibigay later.

* It’s more on relevancy than quantity of websites na nagmemention sa website mo. Napakaimportante sya and maganda na magstart ka sa Virtual Assistant work kasi you will have mga dapat mong kailangan sa business like research and email management kasi magagamit mo itong lahat down the road sa pagka SEO mo.

* Kakalaunch lang naming ng BPO center. Isa din yun sa isa ko gusto ko mangyare, at the end of my term, at least meron na kami BPO center sa lugay namin.

* Don’t worry about the competition. Worry about paano mo aralin talaga at matutunan ang basics.

  At first palang, gusto ko na SEO kasi maganda sya for business. Like yung inisip ko kung meron ako isang service at maglaunch front page sa Google, I will have everything na lahat ng nagresearch sa akin mapupunta. A year after that, nagstart na ako sa travel site na ginawa ko. Ang nangyari is nabuild ko na yung travel website then naglaunch front page. So sa akin na lahat business. Lahat na naghanap ng Siargao at Bucas Grande.

 Was this already your plan before na magbuild ng travel website?

Nung 2010 ko sinimulan yung website ko na travel.
