In our attempt to become successful bloggers, we rely heavily on the wisdom parted to us by those probloggers who had already gone down the path that we are taking right now. However, there comes a time when some of them contradict each other – One problogger says that sponsored posting is unethical, the other says the opposite. One says that a long post could bore the readers, the other says that a long post is essential. And so on.

With all the conflict in ideas and teachings, who should we believe in? What steps should we follow in order for us to become successful?

If you are a regular reader here in PinoyBlogero.com, then I guess you are already familiar with my Weekend Recaps every Sunday that contains lots of interesting posts and news that I have collected from the Pinoy blogosphere.

With an average of 10-15 posts per recap, it’s no surprise that people are asking me how I manage to collect such a big number of interesting posts per week.

A few days ago, the TV show “Korina Today” made a feature segment entitled “Beware of the Blog,” wherein, the host and a number of guests talked about their views about the different issues relating to blogs primarily brought about by the Brian Gorell controversy.

The discussion raised a number of intriguing views about blogging. From notions like a blog can only be a reliable source of information if the blogger behind it is “respectable”, to the definition of illegitimate blogger as bloggers who hides behind anonymity, and a couple more which can be read on Noemi’s blog.

A lot of people say that anything that is “too much” is bad. Apparently, blogging is no exception to this especially when it comes to the health of its users.

Most blogging health risks are caused by too much stress due to over-working, some are from spending too much time in front of computer. Whatever the causes are, we could clearly see that in our effort to do more, we unknowingly risk ourselves to dangers that may affect our future in Blogging.

Blog. This is just one of the many foreign words that have no direct translation in the Tagalog language.

I’ve read an interesting article a month ago over at PauloMartinez.com that invites Pinoy Bloggers to go and look for a Pinoy term of the word “blog”. Weeks have passed and I went back to see if anyone had left any suggestions for the term, but unfortunately, there wasn’t any. I then wondered, “Why aren’t bloggers interested in looking for a Tagalog term for the word Blog?”

On my post, “The Reason Why I am Afraid of Guest Posting Here on PinoyBlogero.com”, I asked my readers on whether or not I should accept guest posting here on my blog. It was a problem that I was having second thoughts with for the longest time, which is why I decided to leave the decision making to the hands of my readers. The replies that I got were a number of “No, please don’t do guest posting”, a couple of “Sure. Go ahead”, and some “Why are you asking us? You’re the blogger. You decide”.

I stumbled upon an article by Nick on PinoyDreamer.com titled “Philippine Politics in the Blogosphere? What do you think?” that talks about a particular blog called Gloria-Resign.net in which, from the name itself, is a blog against Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Nick says that such a blog with a political agenda should stay out of the blogosphere due to the reason that it paints a negative picture of the Philippines.

What do you do when you’re not posting on your blog? Do you just sit back and relax while you wait for people to drop and read your blog? Or do you continue to stay glued in front of your computer taking time to market your blog?

I find it really amusing that a lot of bloggers don’t bother promoting their blogs at all…

For years, Pinoy bloggers have always been treated like royalty. They are a pampered lot who are used to getting things for free (Free food tours, free seminars, free parties etc).This is why when an invite came about a Make Money Online Seminar that has an entrance fee of Php6000 pesos, the only sounds heard were gasps and wails of disbelief.

What do you get from blogging? I bet almost all of us have already been asked with the question above by those who are oblivious to our world.
