Blogs, Domain Names, & Keywords -- HUH?
Friday, October 28, 2011I remember like it was yesterday when I registered my domain name, WWW.BASTAIGATSIKAT.COM. I got it from GoDaddy and I was sure as heck certain it was available once I searched for it. True enough, it was! I then wondered if there were any promotional coupons from Blogger or Google or any other amazing web hosting features I could take advantage of.
It was just recently that I discovered I could use my own domain name for my email address! HAHAHA! Now you can email me at mymaria(at)bastaigatsikat(dot)com! I consider myself still pretty green to this whole internet blogging experience. I may be internet-savvy, but NOT THAT internet-savvy. Not yet, I guess. I came here to blog some years ago for the sake of writing and keeping an online journal. But lately, with all the search engine optimization hype, I'm beginning to see there's more to blogging than camwhoring and just baring your soul for the whole world to see... just because.
I did come across some pretty interesting keyword searches that landed people on my blog. The phrase "basta igat sikat" obviously, "sailormoon" being the most popular search according to the Analytics, and even "ormoc city sex scandal" will render you my blog in Google results. LOL!
Honestly, I still don't understand the whole website optimization thing or getting high page ranks for that matter, maybe because I think it's confusing really or I just couldn't care less about monetizing my blog. Tee hee. As a writer, I guess blogging will stay that way for me. Sure, I join contests and I'm glad my blog's got enough exposure. But more importantly, it's a place for all my memories. By the time I'll get Alzheimer's I think I'll be really thankful I have my blog to read. :)
What about you? Why do you blog? ^_^ Comments below.
