After more than a month since I moved in here to my new blogging home, I can say that there are still lots of things to do and fix. Jan rightly said it with his usual Master Yoda advise as he greeted and challenged me during my “independence day” saying, that I should better start to take off my garage cabinet those working gloves and boots for there are lots of things to do at PinoySoundingBoard in order to provide my readers and visitors the best of amenities: putting up state-of-art security cameras to guard against spammers, home theater system and Jacuzzi for the Jedibloggers and friends, vendo machines for visitors and commenters and a helipad for bloggers from Mars.
And after more than a month of blogging on this self-hosted platform, I guess these working gloves and boots are here to stay unless there will come a day that I will choose not be the Elmot you know and move permanently into the deep jungles of the Amazon.
I Want To Sing Jai Ho!
While all tied up on my desk urgently finishing some tasks, I could not really resist the strong temptation of peeking on my TwitterGadget and see what’s happening over the twittersphere. Ok, I actually did not even try to resist the temptation. Come on guys, many of us are. LOL.
And as I opened my reply tab, ReyJr twitted, sending his congratulations to Ada, Jehz and Elmot. Huwaaat??!! Did you say Elmot? For what ReyJr? Did I win the $1 billion jackpot of the lottery?
I immediately followed the link and voila, I arrived at Ratified.Org’s list of Philippine’s Top Ten Blog Movers! And my blog Ani-Mo! is included at its list of Top Ten Alexa Movers for Philippine blogs covering the first quarter of this year. Wow, I actually cannot believe it.
Actually, Ani-Mo! was my first blog under blogspot. It was where I started everything on my blogging; adventures and misadventures.
My hardwork paid off. Starting at around 20 million in Alexa ranking at Ani-Mo! last January, it went up to around 500 thousand early July before I eventually moved it on its new home. When I opened the gates of PinoySoundingBoard as the new self-hosted blog of its former Ani-Mo! I expected the worse in terms of Alexa ranking. I hovered around 15 million! Now, after more than a month since I opened my new blogging home, my Alexa ranking went up around 640 thousand as of this writing.
This is certainly a Jai Ho moment for me. Right Doc
Z? LOL! For this little feat I achieved, I want to sing Jai Ho! Jai Ho!
Jai Ho! (dancing ala-Pussycat Dolls)
Thank you ReyJr for the tweet; without it, such stuff would have not even reached my attention.
Help Me Continue Sing Jai Ho!
Though I received some great form of affirmation from Ratified.Org to what I am so far doing at PinoySoundingBoard in terms of Alexa ranking at least, it also means that I should not get all too comfortable. In short: aside from wearing working gloves and boots, I should now start to wear my hard hat too.
Lots of thanks for all your support for PinoySoundingBoard peepz!. And if you want to see Elmot continue singing and dancing the Jai Ho! song, you can further support my blog by doing the following:

Ho! moments as a blogger? Come on guys, share your stories here and put this at end of your

My Jai Ho moment was when I was able to retain a readership of no less than 1000 unique readers per day in less than a month’s time of my blog’s inception.

Congratulations, bro. You deserve it and more. The high points of my blogging? I got Holly Jahangiri to write a guest post for me. And while Holly’s guest post in your blog became very hot – and thus became the cause of my envy.
Guess what – here are my achievements in blogging then:
You’ve netted Holly and she laid one golden egg in your blog. Now as you know, she laid two golden eggs in my blog.
One of the most significant achievement of my blogging career though is once again courtesy of Holly. And it’s this: turns out I’m very influential and cunning enough to make Holly tweak the noses of the most outrageous internet bullies hereabouts.
Jai Ho! Hey tama ba enunciation ko? lols

So…I’ve been PLAYED, have I, Jan? Laid a golden egg? Gah, now there’s a visual… But as for the bullies, I’m a mom. What can I say? I have a very low tolerance for that kind of BS. I gave my daughter a book of “Momisms” the other day; this is one of my favorites.
I guess my Jai Ho moments are like Roy’s – only I’d add that it comes when readers take the time to leave comments.

Thanks Bro! Without you always pushing me to take the extra mile on blogging, I would have not been enjoying this little achievement.
You made me smile LJ, Holly is always indeed captures the attention of many. Her guest post on my blog? Wow, that was awesome and I say super darn “hot” hahahahah! I never thought that I will be over, ehehehe!
And you did a great job of asking her to guest post on your blog, not only one but two posts, weeeh! Jai Ho moment indeed!
Your enunciation? It depends bro, Mangyan ba, British or English, or English carabao? ehehehhe!

The key to getting a high Alexa ranking is not to obsess about your Alexa ranking. Just enjoy whatever your doing in your blog and it will show and readers will sense it and stick with you.
Have you got your Alexa toolbar installed in your browser, bro? You’d be helping your friends and the blogs you visit rank a little higher if you do. Do you have lots of webmaster friends or tech savvy buddies? It pays to be in their good company, bro. Good for your Alexa Ranking. Cultivate more tech savvy friends, bro.

You are totally right Bro, one should never get obsessed with Alexa ranking lest his blogging experience is void of happiness and enjoyment.
I’ve got the toolbar bro here in the office. But on other PCs that I use here and there, they don’t have.
Do I have to install it there too? wink
I have a good number of tech-savvy blogging buddies, but as as you recommended, I guess I just have to rake in more, wahahah!
Hope to enter the 500k level before August totally bades goodbye.

I saw that too, whenever laziness got the best of me, my alexa ranking shoots up to the sky. Well, grandma used to tell me, you will be rewarded by the amount of your labor.
There is a trick to it? Hmmm….I don’t know that. Could you whisper it to me? No one is listening anyway…ehehehe!

Pare,
Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa ‘yo!
JAI HO!!!
My Jai ho moment was when I was chatting with you and lyle, I said, “I have something serious to say to you,” then you said, “What is it?” I could almost feel the concern. Then I said, “JAI HO!” he he he. Okay, it was a bad joke, but an ice breaker at that. Those were the times when a lot of tests simply faced the jedibloggers and a smile once in a while does a lot of good.
BTW, Most commented post!!! jai ho!!! I saw my guest post there! yey!

Oo nga he, I remembered that one, when you were bothering us on gmail chat with your somber tone as if something really terrible happened that you want us to listen and comfort you. Tapos, all that you wanted to say lang pala ay “Jai ho!” Anak ng tipaklong tong si Doc Z oh!
But you are forgiven bro ehehhe! We needed that one during that time.
Yeah, your post actually is the most commented post here on my blog! To that, Jai ho! LOL..Sayaw muna Doc Z, ehehehhe!
