Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

The Plasma TV that blogging has bought?

July 6, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 7 Comments

Now that would be my dream post title months from now. I envy in a “professional” way those bloggers who I see post such title or similar titles in their blog post. It may not be a Plasma T.V it could be “The air-condition that blogging bought” or the “Laptop that blogging bought.” No matter what the item is, it just shows that blogging is indeed a serious livelihood to consider. In fact my goal is to retire 20 years from now. By that time all I want to do is travel around the world, write books and blog. I’ve been blogging for almost 8 months now. For the past 2 months or so I have started to earn more than what the average minimum wage earner in the Philippines earns. Compared to some veteran and professional bloggers my blogging income might seem minute. But as of now I am quite happy with it considering that I only spend 2 to 3 hours a day on this “income generating” hobby. Besides I always tell myself that I am still new to this. I believe it’s a matter of time before I … [Read more...]

A step by step guide on how to optimize high traffic-low density keywords

April 27, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 28 Comments

I've always believed that there are only two things that you need to do to become a successful blogger. I call them having good “Fundamentals” and good “technicals” (Just like investing in the stock market hehehehe…) What I refer to as good Fundamentals is the writing of good content, having a good and search engine friendly blog template and having a good layout of your blog. Having good “technicals” means doing stuff that will drive traffic to your blog. One of the ways that will drive traffic your blog is to increase your ranking in google for HITLOD keywords (High traffic or high trend - low density keywords) Who is DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell and why you should get to know them Exploiting the Pinay Scandal keyword How Mr. Bean can help bring traffic to your blog or website Googel = Googol = ? In order to achieve this, follow these steps: 1.) Check if the keyword is a high traffic or high trend keyword– Go to Google trends and type a keyword. If it shows up in … [Read more...]

Word press plugin caused the suspension of my blog ?

March 14, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 4 Comments

For those of you who are consistently following this blog, you might be wondering why I have not entered a single posts for this week. I had been consistently writing one post per day for the past 3 months. Just last month I have decided not to blog on weekends. I had articles scheduled to be posted this week. Unfortunately, my hosting company’s server had technical problems, so my blog was inaccessible for more than a day. What is worse is that all of my advance posts have been deleted and what is left is the last post I wrote last week. Finally my blog came back up for several hours. I started to reposts my advance posts and the suddenly I was informed that my account was suspended. So far the past 3 or 4 days I was corresponding with the technical support people of my hosting company on why my blog was suspended. I submitted a support ticket at Voda support they then replied with this email: “The reason your site was suspend is because it violated clause 10a of the terms … [Read more...]

February 2, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 4 Comments

Time sure flies fast! It just seems like yesterday when I entered into the world of blogging last late November 2007. As the first month of the year has ended, I wanted to inform you all of this blog’s performance. As I said before, my goal is to have 10,000 visitors a month. It seems that I am going in that direction by God’s grace. Here are my “most read post” for January 2008 and why I think they made it to the top ten. 1.) A stronger Philippine Peso . . . Fearless forecast - 68 Everybody, even the ordinary person is very much concern where the Philippine Peso is headed in the months to come. This post gives a compelling argument that the Philippine peso is most likely going to get stronger in the time to come. I mostly get visitors from this post through search engine searches. 2.) How to get rid of the “TTMS NAA NA DIRI” Virus - 37 Readers of this post most probably got infected by this Philippine made virus. This post gives detailed instructions on how to remove the … [Read more...]
