Top Blogs in the Philippines – 2009
January 19, 2010
Finally, we bring you our listing of the Top 50 Blogs in the Philippines for the year 2009, ranked based on each blog’s 3-month Alexa.com traffic rank.
We started monitoring blogs in 2008 (see our 2008 Top 50 Philippine Blogs list) and, in 2009, we see a diverse collection of old and new blogs alike.
In this list, 19 blogs or 20% of the Top 50 entered the list for the first time in 2009. They either became popular or started only in 2009. This means the length of time a person has been blogging does not necessarily translate to higher traffic rank.
The complete Top 50 blogs list below.

Paid by Blogbank!
December 4, 2009
Last week, I received an email from the Blogbank team that they have already deposited my earnings from them. I checked and it was indeed credited to my bank account already.
This explains why the title of this post ends with an exclamation point (Paid by Blogbank!), as opposed to my other Blogbank article which asked, Got paid by Blogbank? Apparently, I was wrong to ask that question before because I was already paid and I just didn’t check my account!
Blogging as source of passive income
December 1, 2009
It feels weird making a new blog post after almost three weeks of resting. Yes, it’s been almost three weeks since I made my last post (see Free magazines for Filipinos posted on November 15).
This posting hiatus happened for two reasons. One, I went to Singapore and Indonesia from November 17 to 23 and I hadn’t got the time to make any new blog post while I was away.
The second, more important reason was that the posting break was actually an experiment of mine. I was trying to check if blogging can indeed give passive income, and this I did by comparing my Google Adsense income before and after my last blog post.
Here are the results of this experiment.
Top 10 High-Paying Keywords
August 18, 2009
My friend, a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) freak who owns at least eight (8) different blogs, and I were discussing yesterday about blogging and how to make money from blogs.
I told him about the article I wrote on 7 easy-to-make blogs that can make you money but he said although these are indeed easy to make, these blogs are not necessarily lucrative.
According to him, if one’s goal is to make lots of money by blogging, one should target high-paying keywords. This got me to researching what these top-paying keywords are.
WordPress 2.8 upgrade problem, downgrade possible?
June 16, 2009
Just like thousands of Wordpress (WP) users who saw on June 11 that a new version — Wordpress 2.8 — is already available, I clicked on the auto-upgrade link as soon as I saw it inside my blog’s Admin panel.
Wrong move! It crashed this blog and the site won’t load anymore!
7 easy-to-make blogs that can make you money
May 26, 2009
Pardon the delay of this article, but we have recently been distracted (read: engrossed) by the Katrina Halili – Hayden Kho sex video scandal that we forgot to finish writing this. Anyway, that issue has already peaked so we now focus on the next best thing after sex. Money that, is.
Our first make money from blogging tip: if you want to earn from blogging, don’t “blog.”
To make money, don’t blog?
“Blogging,” for most people, is about writing stories they want to tell – be it about the latest trip to Boracay, a review of the Star Trek movie, or just plain ranting about the boss or the work.
Several bloggers who write these things do make money from blogging. But not all of them earn a lot from it. The problem is that the stories they are sharing usually have a limited audience. On the internet, if you can’t attract a good number of visitors, you can’t expect to earn a lot from your blog or site.

Making money from blogging is not easy
May 12, 2009
You have been blogging for months now. Almost everyday, you come up with at least one blog post. And yet, your site’s traffic is not increasing and, worst, your online income is still close to zero.
What’s wrong?
You are not alone. Several PMT Forum members who have been blogging for some time now have reached the same conclusion: Mahirap pala kumita sa blogging.
Indeed, making money from blogging is not easy.
Swine flu, drug firms, SEO blogging
April 29, 2009
While governments around the world are seriously concerned about Swine Flu, stockholders of pharmaceutical companies, on the other hand, are seeing a silver lining in the possible outbreak of the disease.
In last Monday’s (April 27) trading alone, stock prices of drug firms in the US increased with the expectation that a swine flu outbreak will lead to higher profits for the drug makers.
Take, for example, GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE Stock Code: GSK) — maker of the flu drug Relenza which is seen as a possible medicine treatment for the swine flu. On Monday, the stock price of GSK closed at $31.56, up by 7.6% from last week’s close.
