Second Try…

Yes, that’s right! This is my second time verifying my Paypal account. As what being discussed last time in my previous post Paypal Verification Failed!

The only reason I can think of why my previous Paypal verification Failed was because I was not careful enough and did not read the instructions carefully. That’s the problem! And I entered the last “4-digit” number of my EON debit/credit card thinking it was the “4-digit expanded code”, which is not! And from that time, Paypal system disabled my credit card. I asked help from the Paypal customer support, and replied with instructions on how to enable or activate my credit card once again, but the process is taking too long. I can’t wait! So I decided to register a new credit/debit card online.

Right now, I have already two EON credit/debit cards. One card is for personal savings only (the one being disabled by the Paypal system), and the newly released EON debit/credit card for the Paypal. I hope this time the verification process works smoothly.

Just Today, I entered my EON debit/credit on my Paypal account…and luckily, it was accepted! I am now waiting for the “4-digit expanded number” to complete the verification process. It says on the email that it would take 2-3 business days before the “4-digit paypal code” to appear.

So, for now…I will just wait…and wait!

Just today, I have created a new blog full of Google Adsense. HEHE.

The blog provides lyrics and videos, if you have time you may take a look and you will see the Google Adsense flooded on the page. I don’t know if that will works, or can earn from that kind of approach. But we’ll see, I will post it here the results of my new SEOContest2008 experiment. Lol.

So, that’s for today! *bye*

Filed under Banned Commercials

Time check: 6:20PM.

Now, work is done and I’m about to leave my desk. But before leaving, I want to share with you a funny banned commercial video. That’s how it appears to me. But really, what made the Hyundai video commercial funny was that, the idea on hiding something/someone that you don’t want others to find out (obviously, that’s why you’re hiding it) - and without knowing it, he is doing exactly the same thing. The theme for this commercial would be “Yes, I did it!”. Lolz. =))

Let’s take have a look on The Banned Hyundai Video Commercial.

I can’t think of any reasons why the commercial was been banned. Any idea?

Filed under Google verification

How do I verify my SEOContest2008 blog in Google?

To verify your SEOContest2008 site/blog, just follow the simple and easy steps.

1. With your Google account (Gmail address), sign into Google Webmaster Tools.

2. On the Dashboard of your account, Add your site with the complete URL. Example: http://seocontest2008.easysteps4u.com. Take note, you are allowed to add any sites, including news and mobile sites.

3. Then, click Add Site.

In order to complete the Google verification process, you need to add META verification code. There are two options in verifying your site; (1) Add a meta tag, and (2) Upload an HTML file.

In my case, I selected the Add a meta tag method. It’s more easier! Just copy the meta tag (it will be listed below the drop down button) and paste it in your site’s index page (home page) in the <HEAD> section. And once you have done, back to the page and click Verify.

And a confirmation message displays:

You’ve successfully verified http://seocontest2008.easysteps4u.com/.

So, what are the advantages of a verified website/blog in Google?

Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Mar 16, 2008.

Pages from your site are included in Google’s index.

Once you have verified your site, Google can provide comprehensive statistics and error information about the pages in your site.

So, what are you waiting for - verify your SEOcontest2008 blog/site now!

The END is near for the SEOContest2008.

That’s right! The UKWebmasterWorld.com’s Search Engine Optimization Contest 2008 will soon come to an end. And questions are resounding around the SEO community. Are you ready to praise the Top Ranking SEOContest2008 websites? Who do you think will grab the SEOContest2008 $1000 USD Prize? Would it be Benjamin Arriola of the Philippines or Martin Svilenov, Bulgaria?

My apologize, I am not discouraging SEOContest2008 participants nor declaring winners. This is just my own opinion based on the previous and current results on website standing of the two participants. We can’t deny the fact that they’re just the only two participants fighting for the #1 rank position.

But of course, it’s not too late! Right! It’s too early to declare winners and to accept defeats. That’s the spirit. WE (including myself, of course!) still have chances to increase number of visitors, inbound links and that will surely improve our SERPs ranking position.

As of March 17, 2008 @ 10:34PM (Philippine Time) - These are the Top 10 websites for the SEOContest2008 keyword.

#1 www.seocontest2008.com
#2 seocontest2008.uk.com
#3 www.seocontest2008-sphere.com
#4 www.pogung177.com/seocontest2008
#5 seocontest2008.org
#6 seocontest2008.harenatv.com
#7 www.seocontest2008.eu
#8 www.seocontest2008india.com
#9 www.jehzlau-concepts.com/2008/02/seocontest2008.html
#10 zetrys.info/seocontest2008-at-seocontest2008-b-20.html

We are only focusing on the TOP #1, and we almost forgot that there’s still spot for the rank #2, #3 and #4? Just wondering, Are you not interested? Lolz. Of course, you are! I can see it on your back links and read it on your blogs. HEHE.

May the Google spiders guide us always! Good Luck to All of Us!

Filed under Paypal Issues

My Credit card has been disabled for entry into the Paypal system.

Now, my question is: How can I enable my credit card? I have already raised this issue to the Paypal tech support staff, and I received responses. However, their responses were far far from the “question” being asked. In my letter, I stated clearly what happened after entering the credit card number for “Paypal Verification”.

I would like also to ask your help and suggestions regarding this issue, just a thought (just maybe) you have also encountered the same problem as I have right now. But first, let’s check the problem in details.

Here’s the steps I did: (This was before my card disabled by the Paypal System)

1. I clicked on the “Status: Philippine - Unverified (0)” link, and the page for selecting card type, adding card number, expiration date and the 3-digit Card verification number displays.

2. A confirmation email received, and informed me that the “4-digit expanded number” will be sent on my account then, and to “add” the 4-digit expanded to complete the process for account verification! As a verified member, the sending and withdrawal amount will be lifted UNLIKE with the unverified user which only allows $100 sending amount per month. On the email sent with subject line “Enter your Expanded Use Number“, I have noticed that there’s a 4-digit number “xxxxxx0384“, so I tried to add the number by clicking the link (https://www.paypal.com/it/MEM-NUMBER) pointing to the 4-digit expanded number adding page. I attempted more than 3 times, but nothing happens! So, I leaved and waited thinking that maybe it requires number of day before it verifies.

3. I asked a friend who is a verified Paypal user, and she told me that I have to call the customer service of my card provider which is the UNION Bank of the Philippines, to ask for an activation code and the “4-digit expanded number“, however their line was busy always…so, I decided to email them using my EON account online. And, within that day, less than an hour after submitting the “4-digit expanded number email request” a reply received with my “4-digit expanded number”, so the 4-digit number I inputted last time was incorrect then.

4. I visited my Paypal account, and I can no longer see the link for the “4-digit adding page” which was visible on my “To Do List” on the Paypal Overview once you’ve logged in. Now it’s gone! I checked my inbox, and clicked the LINK (https://www.paypal.com/it/MEM-NUMBER) they (Paypal) provided BUT the LINK redirects to the “Add a card number” page.

And so, no choice…

I have added again my card number, expiration date and the 3-digit verification code or the last 3-digit number of your card at the back of it. And I was shocked after hitting the Save and Continue button….an Error Message displays:

This card has been disabled for entry into the PayPal system. Please add a different card. You may also contact us using this form.

Like what I said earlier, I already informed the Paypal support but none of them responded with an answer to my problem. Guys, if you have an experienced about this issue/problem, please advice me. Thanks. With an unverified Paypal account, I can’t claim my SEOContest2008 Prize. (That’s if I win the SEO Contest 2008). Lolz

The 6th message help sent to the Paypal support, and hoping this time…they’ll have already an answer to my question. While waiting for their reply, I have decided to “register” a new EON account online.

When we say “PC”, it refers to a “Personal Computer” — which means that Macs are Personal Computers too! However, the common usage implies that PC’s compatibility is an “IBM” and solely with Microsoft Windows as operating system.

Now, If you are looking for icons doing backflips, that’s Mac.

I have here a video about Mac and PC with lyrics, I got this video on YouTube.com. I really enjoyed watching this video they’re funny.

The Mac versus PC rap + Lyrics.

Lyrics:

I’m a right-clicka
I’m an iBook flippa
Macs and PCs - no fight gets bigga
Surf Safari or browse in I.E.
Better know what you rep(resent) - a Mac or PC!

USB 1-2.0, son, you don’t know
watch my data flow
From MS-DOS command line prompts
Black backgrounds, no special sauce
Well I’ve only been around since ‘84
But my ease of use has done so much more
From a Plus to a Classic to a II GS
To a PowerPC, my OS is the best
So clickable, design is lickable
My aqua interface makes XP dispicable
Quick I pull the RAM stick out the slot
Then I swap it with generic
cause the port is hot

If you see life through an LCD
Betta know your brand is it a Mac-or-PC?

Take a look at Vista enjoy the view
I suggest Premium or the ultimate skew
cop a Dell with a graphics card - super fast
turn the arrow on and lick the glass
Tiger’s fast as hell
But Leopard’s got the boom
Time machine is mad mean
you’re absurd - what’s a zune?
Middle name: innovate
All features integrate
Now stay the hell out of my
developers’ conferences!

Nonsenses - I’m networking
You’re not working
Stop staring at your built-in webcam YouTube surfing
Ha! 1,000 views is pretty fresh
ComputerGal36 even says I’m the best

He is the best with his videos
And cuts them all on his Final Cut Pro

Mac, PC, and Me, At Last

When I run IT’S A iPOD!
Talk IT’S AN iPHONE!
Stuff I gotta have no matter
what It’s an iLOAN!
I want an Intel, plus CS3, but for now I’m streamin
keynotes in bed Listenin to Steve
Uh! Compatibility
Everybody fits with me
All the applications wanna get
with my virility
At any time
Yo, it might go off
And you can ride it
Til it’s Micro-Soft
Huh! Pay attention
I got a new invention
Steal your next idea
At the MacWorld Convention
But guess what You’ll always be behind
Cuz Mac is a state of mind

So, who do you think performs well - Mac or PC?
