Search Engine Optimization Philippines

No offense to the guys at Google but I just feel like posting about this.  I searched for “google toolbar” in Google and I found this ad in Tagalog.

Take a look at the text in the ad.  It says, “Magpasadya ng pindutan sa browser, itigil mga pop-up atbp. – Libre”

If you know how to speak tagalog then you’re most probably laughing right now or at least lifted one eyebrow.  Either Google hired a bad translator OR is using a bad translation engine. Either way… I think they need to change the wordings.

Go google!

I admit, I just copied and pasted this…  Just wanted to help promote it.

SEO Philippines is proud to announce the launch of the most ambitious SEO contest ever: the P600,000 Bayanihan SEO Contest.

Bayanihan (pronounced buy-uh-nee-hun) is a Filipino tradition wherein neighbors would help a relocating family by gathering under their house, and carrying it to its new location. More generally, the word bayanihan has come to mean a communal spirit that makes seemingly impossible feats possible through the power of unity and cooperation.

SEO Philippines takes the bayanihan spirit to the SEO world with the first ever social SEO contest. After two highly successful keyword ranking contests (Isulong SEOPH and Ituloy AngSulong) that saw individual SEOs fight for the top spot in all three major search engines (Google, Yahoo! and MSN), we’re breaking new grounds by introducing a team-based point system that will revolutionize the way all future SEO contests are run.

Will I join?  I guess it’s too late… the early birds are already blazing ahead.  Worst, I’ve got lots of things at hand.  While I do want to win a contest as prestigious as this, I simply can’t dedicate some time for it so instead of burning myself out, I guess the next better thing to do is to wish luck to all the contestants and be present on the awards night.

Good luck to all contestants!
