			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably landed on this page because you searched for &#8220;Sofie Estolloso &#038; Company&#8221;.  I especially wrote this blog entry for your information.  I know that you are trying to inquire and verify if I designed the website of a certain fund company.</p>
<p>I actually wrote about it already before.  Please read my blog entry, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2007/01/29/i-did-not-design-the-website-of-a-certain-fund-company/">I did not design the website of a certain fund company!</a>, for further information.  But during that time, I did not mention the domain name or the name of the company which was supposed to be involved in this so-called investment program money making business.</p>
<p>I thought that this issue was over about less than 3 years ago, months after it was launched and then got exposed when I responded to the several queries of those people who contacted me.  Then the real company legally redeemed the domain name from the domain squatter. But it seems like some of the contents of this old website were posted in several internet forum sites.</p>
<p>Since the domain name is now being redirected to the real company, I am mentioning the company name now which has nothing to do with the investment program.  The ABB company has nothing to do with the money making business it used to have on the abbfund.com domain.  The old content of the website is gone and ABB took the domain legally from the former owner.</p>
<p>In my case, I would like to declare that I have nothing to do with that investment program too.  I am not at all connected with that company if there was any.  I do not know those people behind that investment program.</p>
<p>With that declaration, I would like to repeat, I did not design the website of the old abbfund.com when it was used for the ABB FUND INVESTMENT PROGRAM &#8211; PAY-IT 4 PROFIT SYSTEM scheme to make money.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s all, and I hope that this information will clarify everything around this investment program money making business.</p>
<p>Note:<br />
For my other readers, please note that I wrote this blog entry to clarify some things regarding a website of an investment program which I did not design.  Thank you for your understanding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google, Yahoo! and Bing search engines updated its search engine results pages (SERPs) regarding GeoCities homepages.</p>
<p>Yesterday, when I was surfing the top three search engines, my GeoCities homepages about Pandan, Antique such as geocities.com/gopandan, geocities.com/pandanantique, and geocities.com/pandan_antique still appeared at the SERPs.</p>
<p>Today, I again checked Google, Yahoo! and Bing search engines, and all them updated its search engines results pages.  But Bing search engine is probably not done yet cleaning its SERP regarding GeoCities pages.  There are still remaining GeoCities homepages in its SERP as of this writing such as geocities.com/pandanantique and my personal homepage geocities.com/sofiehofmann.</p>
<p>But I am sure that in just a few days or a few hours or maybe in just a few minutes, Bing will notice its SERP, and the GeoCities pages will be removed right away from the search engine results page (SERP) of Bing.</p>
<p>That is of course an assumption.  We will see if Bing is fast enough to notice its own SERP.  <img src='http://www.sehdi.com/home/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>GeoCities has finally closed on Monday, October 26, 2009.  My five homepages with GeoCities could not be accessed anymore after ten long years of being hosted free at Yahoo! GeoCities.  It was with GeoCities where I took my first interest in web design.  GeoCities has been my training ground regarding coding in HTML until I finally moved on that there was more beyond HTML in web designing.</p>
<p>The five homepages were still accessible on Monday until the last few minutes of the day.  I tried redirecting the homepages to the new websites but it was only functional until that Monday.  When I checked the homepages today, I just got a message:</p>
<p>Sorry, the GeoCities web site you were trying to reach is no longer available.</p>
<p>GeoCities has closed, but there&#8217;s a lot more to explore on Yahoo!</p>
<p>Despite owning several domain names already related to those old homepages, I chose to maintain all my homepages with GeoCities.  Those homepages ranked high at the search engine result pages.  It would have been a pity to just ditch them.  I have invested a lot of time on those homepages but GeoCities made a decision to close them down for me.  <img src='http://www.sehdi.com/home/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I did not transfer those homepages as I have recreated them using my own domain names a long time ago.  The websites with my own domain names were not copies of the homepages but somehow some of the contents are related to the old homepages.</p>
<p>It is really a pity that GeoCities has to close down its free web hosting.</p>
<p>I was just thinking though, what if Yahoo! converted GeoCities into a blogging service like Blogger and allow the owners to publish advertisements using YPN (Yahoo! Publisher Network) instead of Google AdSense?</p>
<p>I know for a fact that Yahoo! put ads on the homepages hosted free at GeoCities some time ago but it was not for the benefit of the owners of the homepages.  GeoCities homepage owners used to monetize their pages too but things have changed along the way.</p>
<p>If Blogger and Google are benefiting from their own services, why not Yahoo! benefiting from GeoCities as a blogging platform and YPN for publishing ads.</p>
<p>Well, probably Yahoo! did not want to invest into such as Yahoo! itself is using WordPress for their blogs instead of creating their own blogging software.  I really do not know the real financial situation of Yahoo! and it is too late for me to say these things as Yahoo! closed GeoCities already.</p>
<p>Anyway, I had a lot of fun with GeoCities while it lasted.</p>
<p>Thank you, Yahoo! GeoCities for the ten-year free web hosting services!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new WordPress 2.8.5 version was released on October 20, 2009 just to make your sites or blogs as secure as possible.  There was really no urgency in upgrading to this new version but I thought of upgrading all the websites and blogs in preparation for <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/10/getting-involved-with-the-2-9-beta-testing/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.9</a> which will be released in either late November or early December.</p>
<p>As mentioned at the WordPress Blog, <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/10/wordpress-2-8-5-hardening-release/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.8.5: Hardening Release</a>, the headline changes in this release are:</p>
<ul>
<li>A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.</li>
<li>Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.</li>
<li>Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.</li>
<li>Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.</li>
</ul>
<p>I finished upgrading all the blogs and sites listed below:</p>

<p>I normally would upgrade all the WordPress Plugins first before upgrading to the latest WordPress release, in this case, to WordPress 2.8.5.  In one of my web hosts, I was not able to upgrade the WordPress Stats Plugin automatically because it cannot locate &#8216;downloads.wordpress.org&#8217; so I just upgraded it manually.  I was afraid that I might not be able to use the WordPress Automatic Upgrade but when I did, it went fine.</p>
<p>I also checked the wp-config-sample.php and wp-cron.php files which I was telling you about in this blog entry, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/08/12/wordpress-2-8-to-wordpress-2-8-4-wp-config-sample-and-wp-cron-files-no-closing-tags/" target="_blank"> WordPress 2.8 to WordPress 2.8.4 wp-config-sample and wp-cron files, no closing tags</a>.  Up to now, the two files have no closing tags yet.</p>
<p>I still had a problem with the WordPress Image Gallery Code which I mentioned when I <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/02/26/upgraded-to-wordpress-271-and-encountered-a-huge-problem/" target="_blank">upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1</a>, and again, when I upgraded to <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/06/19/upgraded-to-wordpress-2-8-baker-gallery-code-problem/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.8 Baker (Gallery Code Problem)</a>, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/08/10/upgraded-to-wordpress-2-8-3-image-gallery-problem-and-solution/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.8.3 (Image Gallery Problem and Solution)</a>, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/08/13/upgraded-to-wordpress-2-8-4-reset-password-vulnerability/" target="_blank">WordPress 2.8.4</a>, and in this new release, WordPress 2.8.5.</p>
<p>I found the <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/03/13/solution-to-wordpress-271-gallery-code-problem/">solution for the WordPress Gallery Code problem</a> anyway, so I just commented all the four necessary lines at post.php file which can be found under the wp-includes folder.  I do not like to do it over and over again, but I have no choice.  I might have to reorganize the images or photos one of these days.</p>
<p>I use the WordPress Automatic Upgrade feature in upgrading all the blogs and websites.  Everything went fine except for the two problems that I mentioned that I have been having since WordPress 2.7.1.  I have no other major problems regarding upgrading from WordPress 2.8.4 to WordPress 2.8.5.  Thanks goodness!</p>
<p>By the way, every time I upgrade, I test all the sites in my local computer.  I have PHP, phpMyAdmin, and WordPress installed in my local computer.  I make sure that everything is fine before I upgrade.</p>
<p>One more thing, and it is a very important reminder!</p>
<p><strong>Backup your WordPress database and files first before you upgrade.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you upgraded to WordPress 2.8.4? If you did not upgrade yet, then you better upgrade now.  It was on September 5, 2009 when it was reported that a worm was discovered making its way around old and unpatched versions of WordPress.</p>
<p>If you have not done anything yet, your WordPress is definitely very vulnerable to this worm.  <a href="http://ma.tt/">Matt</a>, the co-founder of WordPress, wrote a blog entry on how to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/">keep your WordPress secure</a> and if you have not read it, I suggest that you read it.  He explained everything extensively.</p>
<p>Matt wrote that blog entry a long time ago and I am just reminding you all about it in case you have forgotten to upgrade.  You do not want your site or blog get hacked, right?  Then do something now.  It might not be too late yet.</p>
<p>Aside from the worm, an admin password reset exploit was found at the old versions which I mentioned when I upgraded to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/">WordPress 2.8.4 Security Release</a>.  You can read about it at this blog entry, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/08/13/upgraded-to-wordpress-2-8-4-reset-password-vulnerability/">Upgraded to WordPress 2.8.4, Reset Password Vulnerability</a>.</p>
<p>If you do not want to upgrade, then fix your WordPress wp-login.php file. How to fix the wp-login.php file?  Read this blog entry, <a href="http://www.programmerfish.com/fix-wordpress-admin-password-reset-exploit/">Fix: WordPress Admin Password Reset Exploit</a>, at ProgrammerFish.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I really recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of WordPress even if you can fix the wp-login.php file and even if WordPress 2.8.3 is immune to this worm.  If you have an older version than WordPress 2.8.3, you have more reasons to upgrade.</p>
<p>But in case your blog or site got attacked or hacked and then you upgraded without fixing it first, then your site or blog remained hacked.  If your blog got attacked or hacked, fix or clean your blog first before you upgrade.</p>
<p>Lorelle wrote a very good article about this issue, things you need to know, how to know if your site has already been attacked, how to prevent your WordPress blog from being attacked, if your WordPress blog has been attacked, and how to respond to a WordPress attack.  Read this blog entry, <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/old-wordpress-versions-under-attack/">Old WordPress Versions Under Attack</a>, at <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/">Lorelle on WordPress</a>.</p>
<p>Reminder though, before you upgrade, backup your files, your WordPress theme, database, and all the other necessary files. Follow the instructions at the WordPress Codex on <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">Upgrading WordPress</a> and <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended">Upgrading WordPress Extended</a>.</p>
<p>It is a good practice to always upgrade your WordPress to the latest release to avoid getting attacked or hacked.  Upgrade constantly and keep your WordPress secure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finished upgrading all the blogs and sites that I maintain yesterday from WordPress 2.8.3 to WordPress 2.8.4, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com">Sofie Estolloso Hofmann Designs International</a>, <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com">Sofie Hofmann dot com</a>, <a href="http://www.problogit.com">Pro Blog it &#124; ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions</a>,<a href="http://www.isyu.info"> ISYU.INFO Around the World</a>, <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info">Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue</a>, <a href="http://www.semirara.isyu.info">Semirara Dumpsite Issue</a>, <a href="http://www.pandan.ph">Pandan Antique Philippines</a>, <a href="http://tugbong.pandan.ph">Tugbong Festival</a>, <a href="http://www.pagtatap.org">PAGTATAP Foundation</a>, <a href="http://www.psap-parola.org">Philippine Seafarers Assistance Programme</a>, <a href="http://www.weggis.net">Weggis along Lake Lucerne Switzerland</a>, and <a href="http://www.ladiosolibrary.org">Leocadio Alonsagay Dioso Memorial Public Library</a>, all of them in just one day.  Imagine I just <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/08/10/upgraded-to-wordpress-2-8-3-image-gallery-problem-and-solution/">upgraded to WordPress 2.8.3</a> from WordPress 2.8 last Monday, August 10, 2009. </p>
<p>But it is again time to upgrade your blog or site to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/">WordPress 2.8.4</a>.  The new WordPress 2.8.4 version is a security release.  It is highly recommended that you upgrade your blog or site NOW as there is a vulnerability with the previous version of WordPress wherein anybody can reset the admin password.</p>
<p>A URL can be requested which will reset your admin password.  I will not give you the idea on how to do it as it will only make your blog or site vulnerable.  I tested it myself.  It does not allow remote access but it could give you inconvenience.</p>
<p>When someone tries to reset your password, the message will be sent to the email address of the admin, so there should really be no danger.  You can get your new password and you can change your password again once you are logged in.</p>
<p>The problem here is, when someone tries to reset the password more than 100 times on your blog or site, then you will probably get confused which password is the right one.  You do not want that to happen, right?  Then upgrade your blog or site now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first thing I did after I downloaded <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/">WordPress 2.8.4</a> was checking the wp-config-sample.php and wp-cron.php files.  I saw that the closing tags are still missing.  Since the release of <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/06/wordpress-28/">WordPress 2.8</a>, these two files have been missing the closing tags but I did not write about it as it is easy to correct it by simply closing the new wp-config.php file which is a copy of wp-config-sample.php file.</p>
<p>I actually have been wondering why wp-config-sample.php and wp-cron.php files have no closing tags?  What I know is every file that has an opening tag &#8220;&lt;?php&#8221; must have a closing tag &#8220;?&gt;&#8221; as well.  So I am not sure why these two particular files were not closed.  I guess they were just overlooked and nobody reported it.</p>
<p>Nowadays, since we are normally upgrading our blogs and sites automatically using the WordPress automatic upgrader, wp-config.php is not being deleted nor replaced.  So if you upgraded your blog or site from WordPress 2.7 using the WordPress automatic upgrader, then there is no problem as the old wp-config.php file has definitely a closing tag.</p>
<p>Even if you manually upgraded your blog or site, as long as you did not delete nor replace your wp-config.php file, then your wp-config.php file has definitely a closing tag.  Normally, you do not delete nor replace the wp-config.php file anyway every time you upgrade.</p>
<p>The problem now is, if you installed WordPress especially WordPress 2.8 or any of its security releases for the first time for your blog or site.  If you copied wp-config-sample.php file and created the new wp-config.php file without supplying the closing tag then your wp-config.php has definitely no closing tag.</p>
<p>As to wp-cron.php file, the old file will be replaced by the new file, so the new wp-cron.php file should be corrected manually as this file has definitely no closing tag.</p>
<p>Regarding other files, I did not check the other files, so I do not know if there are more files that do not have closing tags.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally finished upgrading all the blogs and sites that I maintain, <a href="http://www.sehdi.com">Sofie Estolloso Hofmann Designs International</a>, <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com">Sofie Hofmann dot com</a>, <a href="http://www.problogit.com">Pro Blog it &#124; ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions</a>, <a href="http://www.isyu.info">ISYU.INFO Around the World</a>, <a href="http://www.patria.isyu.info">Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue</a>, <a href="http://www.semirara.isyu.info">Semirara Dumpsite Issue</a>, <a href="http://www.pandan.ph">Pandan Antique Philippines</a>, <a href="http://tugbong.pandan.ph">Tugbong Festival</a>, <a href="http://www.pagtatap.org">PAGTATAP Foundation</a>, <a href="http://www.psap-parola.org">Philippine Seafarers Assistance Programme</a>, and <a href="http://www.weggis.net">Weggis along Lake Lucerne Switzerland</a>, from WordPress 2.8 to WordPress 2.8.3 Security Release.  I skipped upgrading to WordPress 2.8.1 and WordPress 2.8.2 as I was on vacation when those WordPress versions were released.</p>
<p>I also upgraded the <a href="http://www.ladiosolibrary.org">Leocadio Alonsagay Dioso Memorial Public Library</a> from WordPress 2.6.5 to <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/wordpress-2-8-3-security-release/">WordPress 2.8.3 Security Release</a> skipping all the other versions which were released before WordPress 2.8.3.  So far, I did not encounter any problem when I upgraded Dioso Library site despite skipping WordPress 2.7 and WordPress 2.8.</p>
<p>I encountered a problem though with some of the sites concerning the image gallery but was also able to solve it.</p>
<p>What exactly was the problem?</p>
<p>Well, with my other sites, the images did not appear because I have 2 or more subfolders under a subfolder under wp-content folder.  This problem occurred without checking &#8220;Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders&#8221; as I would like to have yearly subfolders only and without the monthly subfolders.  I have uploaded several images in different years like 2008 and 2009, in separate subfolders under a subfolder under wp-content folder.</p>
<p>Example 1:<br />
wp-content/files/2008<br />
wp-content/files/2009</p>
<p>Then, with the other sites, I did not only have different years but made use of the feature where we can just check &#8220;Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders&#8221;.  Checking &#8220;Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders&#8221; would mean the images would be in separate monthly subfolders as it created 2009 for year 2009 and different subfolders for different months, 01 for January, 02 for February, and so on.  In this case, the images did not appear too.</p>
<p>Example 2:<br />
wp-content/files/2009/01<br />
wp-content/files/2009/02</p>
<p>As I see it, the problem has something to do with having 2 or more subfolders under wp-content folder or 2 or more subfolders under a subfolder of wp-content folder instead of 1 subfolder only.  I have sites where I uploaded the images in 1 subfolder only and I have no problem with them.</p>
<p>Example 1:<br />
wp-content/uploads</p>
<p>Example 2:<br />
wp-content/files/images</p>
<p>What was the solution?</p>
<p>I just commented the particular codes which I already mentioned in my blog entry <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/03/13/solution-to-wordpress-271-gallery-code-problem/">Solution to WordPress 2.7.1 Gallery Code Problem</a>.</p>
<p>And that was it!  Everything went back to normal again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote about <a href="http://www.sehdi.com/blog/2009/07/02/get-indexed-by-google-and-bing-search-engines/">getting indexed by Google and Bing search engines</a> last week.  I wrote how Google indexed a blog entry at <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/">Pandan.ph</a> within 12 hours after publishing it at 8:05pm on July 01, 2009 which appeared at the first page of the Google search results.</p>
<p>I checked Google on Sunday using the keywords &#8220;pandan drag race&#8221; and other keywords that I mentioned but the blog entry at Pandan.ph entitled <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/videos/2009/07/01/2nd-invitational-calixto-zaldivar-iii-motorcycle-drag-race-cup-2008-in-pandan-antique/">2nd Invitational Calixto Zaldivar III Motorcycle Drag Race Cup 2008 in Pandan, Antique</a> was nowhere to be found.</p>
<p>The same thing happened at the other blog entry that I published on June 30, 2009 at Pandan.ph.  It was also no longer listed at the Google search results.</p>
<p>I also checked <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/">Google Blog search</a>.  It was good to know that both the blog entries at Pandan.ph were still at the first page of the Google Blog search results which means the blog entries are relevant and valuable.</p>
<p>Another thing happened, this time regarding the domain name itself Pandan.ph.  Every time I searched Google before using the keyword &#8220;pandan&#8221;, Pandan.ph would always appear at the first or second page of the Google search results.</p>
<p>But when I searched Google on Sunday, Pandan.ph was also nowhere to be found even at the succeeding pages just like what happened to the two blog entries.  I am very sure that I did not violate the <a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769">guidelines</a>.</p>
<p>What does Google trying to show here?  It just goes to show that Google crawls and indexes the site or blog any time it wants but also would de-index it any time without any explanation.</p>
<p>It shows that the blog entries were relevant when they appeared on the first pages of the Google search results but there is no guarantee that it would stay that way if Google changes its position that the blog entries have no value for both Google and readers.  It makes me wonder then how exactly Google measures the relevance of a blog entry or an article.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have a blog or site and you would like to promote it, but it has not been indexed by the search engines yet.  What would you do then?  Well, the simplest way to get your blog or site get promoted is to submit it to several search engines like Google and Bing, formerly MSN Live Search.  The question now is how are you going to get <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> and <a href="http://www.bing.com">Bing</a> index your blog or site.</p>
<p>I wrote about this topic, on how to get indexed by Google and Bing search engines at ProBlogit.com but I will discuss other sites too.  Basically the method is the same for the blog to get indexed by both Google and Bing.  I discussed at ProBlogit.com how <a href="http://www.problogit.com">ProBlogit.com</a> got indexed by Google and how <a href="http://www.sofiehofmann.com">SofieHofmann.com</a> got indexed by Bing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/blogging/20090623/how-to-get-indexed-by-google/">How to get indexed by Google</a>?  Submit your site to Google.  Join Google Webmaster Tools and add your blog or site.  Write content often and link the blog entry from another blog internally and externally.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.problogit.com/blogging/20090702/how-to-get-indexed-by-bing/">How to get indexed by Bing</a>?  Submit your site to Bing.  Join Bing Webmaster Center and add your blog or site.  Write content often and link the blog entry from another blog internally and externally.</p>
<p>Another site that got indexed by Bing is this site <a href="http://www.sehdi.com">Sehdi.com</a> which was considered by Bing not valid when I added the site at Bing Webmaster Center.  I have the impression that because Sehdi.com is being hosted in Switzerland, it was considered invalid at the time when I added it on June 24, 2009.  Other sites are being hosted in the United States, so there was no problem adding it to Bing Webmaster Center.</p>
<p>Despite not being able to add the site at the Bing Webmaster Center, Sehdi.com was still indexed by Bing.  It was already crawled and indexed before but this time more pages appeared at the search results just like SofieHofmann.com.   All I did was, I just submitted the site to Bing.  I wrote content for Sehdi.com but not so often.  Despite the irregularity, Bing and Google have indexed the site and blog regularly.</p>
<p>Another site especially its two recent blog entries that I wrote the other day and yesterday that got indexed by Google fast was <a href="http://www.pandan.ph">Pandan.ph</a>.  Considering that I did not even link the two blog entries from any other blog.  The two blog entries appeared on the sidebar though of SofieHofmann.com and that was it.  Other than that, I did not do anything.</p>
<p>When I checked Google today with keywords &#8220;pandan police&#8221;, the blog entry <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/news/2009/06/30/pandan-police-arrested-former-policemen-suspected-of-robbery-in-buruanga-aklan/">Pandan police arrested former policemen suspected of robbery in Buruanga, Aklan</a> appeared first on the first page of the Google search results.  I also used other keywords such as &#8220;pandan cops&#8221;, &#8220;aklan robbery&#8221;, &#8220;buruanga robbery&#8221; and the blog entry appeared on the first page of the search results.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sehdi.com/images/2009/2009-07-indexed-by-google-1.gif" border="0" width="400" height="180" class="cpic" alt="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" title="Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines" /></p>
<p>Then I checked Google with keywords &#8220;pandan drag race&#8221; and the blog entry <a href="http://www.pandan.ph/videos/2009/07/01/2nd-invitational-calixto-zaldivar-iii-motorcycle-drag-race-cup-2008-in-pandan-antique/">2nd Invitational Calixto Zaldivar III Motorcycle Drag Race Cup 2008 in Pandan, Antique</a> appeared also first on the first page of the Google search results.  I also used keywords such as &#8220;calixto zaldivar&#8221;, &#8220;pandan invitational&#8221;, &#8220;pandan motorcycle race&#8221; and the blog entry appeared on the first page of the search results.</p>

<p>Pandan.ph was already added a long time ago at the Google Webmaster Tools.  It just goes to show that even if you do not submit your blog entry to Google again as long as Google already made a habit of crawling and indexing your blog, then your blog will appear in Google any time and in this case the latest blog entry was indexed by Google within 12 hours.</p>
<p>I just did not check it right away yesterday after I wrote the latest blog entry at Pandan.ph, so I really have no idea when did really Google index that particular latest blog entry.  I just learned about it after 12 hours when I checked Google today.</p>
