I made a post last Saturday about Pinay Scandal as a part of my experiment with SEO. My mission was to play around with that keyword to find out if I can generate traffic from it. It was risky. Honestly, I didn’t knew that my Adsense would be disabled when the Google robot would crawl up my site and find porrnographic words. I kind of freaked out for a couple of days and was planning to devise a comeback post to make up for it. LOL. But it was all worth the risk as I found out today about a group of Pinoy bloggers who were also experimenting with the Pinay Scandal keyword. I came upon macuha.com who made a post last year with an experiment with the Pinay Scandal keyword so he could gain traffic from it. It was crazy idea and a lot of Pinoy bloggers was into it that they even joined his campaign. You can read the rest of his post here.

According to Russ Alfonso in his interview with Entrepreneur magazine, “Internet usage is expected to grow 23 percent annually to reach 21.5 million by [the end] of 2008. Filipino Internet users on average spend 2.3 hours per day checking e-mail, 1.6 hours on online community activities, 2.7 hours on instant messaging, and 3 hours on other Internet activities. Forty-eight percent of Internet users are within 20 to 28 years old and 44 percent are 30-40 years old.” So, what does this figures tells us? It tells us that with the continuous increasing number of internet users, internet business will also continue to rise. And if you noticed, it’s pretty obvious with the constant growth of establishments offering free WiFi access, the ever growing lists of online social networking sites and the growing number of Pinoy bloggers jumping in the field of making money online.

Just bounced back from a stressful day. I’m still having a hard time dealing with my sinusitis, but I have to update my blog before Saturday comes because Sabado nights is the time for me and my girl to hit the local watering holes here in our humble province of Bulacan. Yes, we do have active social spots here in case you’re wondering. Lots of nice people. Good food and drinks. I love being a Bulakeño! Wohoo! You should come by and visit us and I’ll give you guys a free tour. Yep, I got a little excited. LOL. Now moving on with the topic.

For Filipinos, crab mentality describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase….“if i can’t have it, neither can you”. It’s a metaphor referring to crabs in a bucket in which, one of them struggles to get to the top but instead is being pulled down by other crabs that are also trying to get to the top.

Now, some may think crab mentality is normal as it implies healthy competition between people. Which is in fact, completely normal. But in more ways than one, it is more destructive than normal, especially if you unintentionally outdo another at the other’s expense. A sad reality it is, as it shows lack of unity among us Pinoys.
