Pinging for Popularity.

Posted by Kirbitz on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 @ 8:45 pm in Miscellaneous.


It has been a week since my first post. And so far, im still in a bottomless pit. Ive heard pinging can increase your popularity rating by telling the world that you have a new activity in your blog. It's sort of saying that you are still alive and kicking. Well, ive decided to try this one out. I bookmarked 2 automatic ping sites namely pingomatic and autopinger.

Whats great about this sites is that they submit pings to quite a number of sites like technorati, feedster, blogdigger and blogster. Some of them sound so foriegn to me that id rather knot know about them. Technically, its very easy to use. Just put in the URL of your blog or site then check the boxes you want to ping. ( i checked everything ) and thats it!

If youre not so sure about pinging. . .


"Pinging is a service that pings or notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated and hence, they crawl and index your site, publishing your blog contents, thus increasing your blog's popularity."


Will this action make my blog mmore popular? Will it yield more visitors? Again. . . Only time will tell. But im willing to take my risks. Im actually ready to fall several times because im still starting with this blogging thing. As the dwayne wade commercial goes,

Fall down nine times, Stand up ten.

What do you think? let me know whats on your mind by dropping a line in my comments.

Sarah Album Update 10

Posted by A Day In The Life... on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 @ 11:45 am in Miscellaneous.

Okay… another update!  This is actually also in connection to my last update but since this entry tackles other parts of the album, I decided to call it “update 10″ instead of “9.1″.  It’ll also probably be the last update before the album comes out… UNLESS, there are changes again in the album movement after this post (which I sincerely doubt).

Sarah in motion (Glow)

First things first… I’m sure you’re all itching to know exactly when the album will be available on the market.

I came from the Viva office earlier and this is what’s going to happen… the copies will be coming in on Friday.  When I say “coming in”, it means coming into the Viva warehouse and NOT the record bars. The actual release date will be on MONDAY, July 30, 2007.  Deliveries won’t be made over the weekend since we cannot determine as to exactly what time these copies are expected to arrive.

Wait!  That’s not all…

If you want to be able to get a copy of the album by Friday… here’s what you should know… as soon as stocks come in from the printers, a good number of copies will be “hand-carried” to record bars located near the Viva Office… and I heard them specifically say “SM Megamall”.  So, you can try checking out the following stores there such as:  “Viva Video”, “Odyssey” (tama ba spelling? Hehe!), “Radio City”, “Astroplus”, and of course the record bar located at the SM department store.  It’ll be in some of those establishments if not all of them.  But to be sure that it’s already there by the time you arrive, try to visit these places in the afternoon… preferably towards the evening.

You can also try Robinson’s Galleria on Friday but I’m not quite sure… although they do have a “Viva Video” establishment over there so chances are good that you’ll find some copies as well.

I got a copy of “Taking Flight” (final album master) earlier today… no frills, just a CD-R copy of the master… no inlay… no cover… just a plain recordable CD.  But all the songs are in it already and is exactly the same copy of what’s coming out this Friday (and officially on Monday).  Wonderful songs!  I’m sure you’ll love the album as well… but that’s no surprise.  I also saw the actual artwork (cover, inlay, lyrics, credits, sponsors and acknowledgements) of the album and it looks great!

Here’s the lowdown on the album:

7 english songs + 4 tagalog songs (11 songs total)

Track 4 is a duet with Mark Bautista (english song)

My compositions are located on Track 8 (”MISS”) and Track 11 (”KAHIT NA”)

So there you have it…!  Some inside info for those just raring to get a copy of “Taking Flight” at the soonest possible time.  I’m just not sure how many copies will be brought to these stores so be there when it happens.  My many thanks to those who kept tabs on my updates since the very beginning.  As promised… from conception to delivery, I have kept you guys “in the know”.

Sarah Album Update 9

Posted by A Day In The Life... on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 @ 1:08 am in Miscellaneous.

It’s official… Sarah’s album, “Taking Flight” won’t be coming out today.  Don’t bother checking the record bars.  Last I heard from the Viva office, the release date was moved to Friday, July 27, 2007… which actually isn’t so bad, right?

Like I said earlier on my previous update, “a day or two”.

So, save your transportation budget and spare yourselves the disappointment of double-checking the record bars hoping against hope that it’s out by today and finding out it ain’t.
