Photo Contest

The eyes have always been the window of our soul. Whether happy or sad, vengeful or triumphant, the eyes can easily tell it out. No matter how the mouth tries to deny it, the eyes can reveal the secrets of the heart.

Asking People to Click on Ads

[Edited the title. Google might think that I am the one who is asking for clicks. Thanks to Benj for pointing it out]

“Bilang handog pasasalamat sa paglink sainyong blog, manyari lamang na pakiclick ng patalastas (ads) sa itaas. Walang mawawala sainyo. God Bless you.
Ops, wait lang, I’m not telling you to click on MY ads. The message above was from a post on a seemingly new blog called PinoyRecords. What the blogger did was he linked up to over 500 blogs and asked them to click on his Adsense advertisement in return for the free link. Talk about being desperate. [Check the post here]
I give free links almost everyday here in PinoyBlogero to blogs that I think are worth linking to. I sometimes put links within posts that are related to the topic that I am talking about and I also do a weekly recap of the blogosphere every week that are full of links to other blogs and blog posts.

When I link to other blogs, I don’t ask anything in return. I don’t ask them to link back nor do I ask them to click my ads as a sign of thanks.

The case with PinoyRecords is obviously another way of fooling people so that one could earn easy money out of Adsense. Such an act falls under the activity of click fraud which is defined as:

“…a type of internet crime that occurs in pay per click online advertising when a person, automated script, or computer program imitates a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad, for the purpose of generating a charge per click without having actual interest in the target of the ad’s link.” [source: Wikipedia]

INKBLOTS POLLS: 50/50 on Hello Garci

In discussing this issue, the House of Representatives has unlocked skeletons in the closet. Perhaps, the Senate investigations will open up a can of worms this time. But what good tidings would it bring to our nation? Would this investigation lead to the prosecution of the persons involved? Would this investigation which is supposedly “in aid of legislation” lead to better crafted laws that can really protect the Filipino citizens’ Right to Privacy?

Not All Tabloids are Created Equal

Pardon me for my ignorance. I’m no reader of Philippine tabloids, especially since I rely on the internet for my daily dose of news. Gee, I don’t even rush to grab a copy of Inquirer Libre in the MRT! But as I’ve written in a previous post, I’ve been reading the tabloids these days for a research project. Here are some interesting things I’ve observed:

  • Not all tabloids have portions on sex. I know this because I read everything except that portion (I can choose what I read and I chose not to read those columns).
  • While it’s true that there are tabloids that fall under the stereotype description (superficial, useless, and trivial), there are modest tabloids. No portions on sex, and they’re really pang-masa versions of the broadsheets. The topic choice and language of articles are almost like 24 Oras or Bandila. In my opinion, the more decent tabloids are Abante, Tempo, Tanod, People’s Journal, and People’s Journal Tonight. I can even make my younger sisters read them!
  • Senator Chiz Escudero writes for Abante. His column explains aspects of… Click here to read more
