The Long (Or Wordy) Domain Name
I’m not a fan of very long domain names. Are you? I classify a domain name to be too long when it contains more than 2 keywords in it. Just like this example: familydentalclinicsaginawmichigan.com Now that’s not a real domain name. In fact, it’s still available (as of this writing). In my opinion, only those who are completely new into buying domain names, Internet marketing or...
Read MorePlease, Think Twice (Even a Thousand Times) Before You Call Yourself a Writer
I would like to make a disclaimer. PinoyCopywriter.com is my blog. This is not a site where I’m offering writing services. Again, this is just a blog.

I only have one reason for this: the boxing event was an international one and millions of people worldwide were watching. We are proud of...
Read MoreWriters are Very Much Under Valued
Last week, somebody contacted me through this blog and asked if I do freelance writing. I said I don’t, but he still proceeded to discuss with me his writing project. He’s setting up a website offering a certain service. I just went along with our talk and when he asked how much do I think a 500-word article will cost. I told him it really depends on many factors (the difficulty of...
Read MorePLDT Customer Service is Not Customer Service
First impression lasts. I bought a house in Binangonan where I intend to stay in the next months. Naturally since my life and work rely being connected to the Internet, my first major concern is to have a DSL connection. I called their customer service and asked if PLDT has DSL service in the area where I bought the house. The agent said, “‘Pag nag apply ka saka mo malalaman kung may...
