One of the changes made by Google in their ranking algorithm is adding the page speed of a website on their signals for considering websites to position well in the SERPs. There are a lot of stuff you can do with your WordPress site or blog to decrease its response time (less response time, the faster the website). I usually use plug-ins like Super Cache and Hypercache to make my sites to load much faster.
However, I shift to W3 Total Cache because its a complete package of caching system for WP blog and that includes the implementation of Content Development Network (CDN). Now, if you want to implement CDN to your site, you can follow the following steps:

Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Bernabe Concepcion "The Challenge"
I will be at home tomorrow to witness another spectacular action packed fight and determination of a Filipino to give honor to his country. I am referring to the young 22 years old Bernabe Concepcion (28-3-1, 15 KO’s) challenging the Puerto Rico boxing superstar and undefeated Juan Manuel Lopez. The fight that is dubbed as “The Challenge” will be televised on ABS-CBN, Sunday July 11 (July 10, 9pm ET) in the morning and will be held in Coliseo de Puerto Rico. In this Lopez vs. Concepcion match, the Filipino fighter is seen as the underdog for this event. This is because that his opponent is much older, faster and stronger than him based on the records and the fight performance of Juanma.
Lopez is still undefeated with a strong record of 28-0 with 25 KOs, a strong reason seen by boxing analysts that will surely make the challenger Concepcion to be beaten easily. However, I believe that Concepcion, being a Filipino, got a strong will and prepared well for this match. He will definitely give Lopez a “fight” and there’s a big possibility that this pride of the Philippines will follow the foot steps of our national hero in boxing, Manny Pacquiao and grab the WBO featherweight title from Juanma Lopez.
If in case you’re looking for method to watch Lopez vs. Concepcion live or even replay online via live/replay streaming in SOPCAST or in different online video streaming, you can try to visit the following site that usually provide information on watching boxing events like this:
- Telepisodes.com
- ShowFreeVids.com
- WatchBoxing.Info
Aside from this boxing event tomorrow, I will watch Netherlands vs. Spain 2010 FIFA World Cup finals replay. I can’t watch it live because it will be telecast at 2:30 am in the Philippines. So I just can’t do about it but to watch its replay instead.
So Sunday will be sports day for me and rest day for my SEO stuff and activities.

Nah! I am not blogging about the newest update on WordPress turning to 3.0 or anything about the enhancements I made for my websites in a dedicated server to make it much faster than it does. I will try to discuss it later. For now, I want to share about how have a new day this opening of classes this June. I asked my boss (Department Head of CS) to make my employment status in school as part time from full-time.
Yeah, you read it right! I asked her to make me a part-time teacher of the school. It sounded like that I asked her to demote me . Why? It simply because I decided to focus more on my internet ventures and having an “overloaded passionate” (a little exaggeration with the phrase) teaching will just make me lost my focus on a much “greener pasture.”
But why just quit all the way and have a full-time focus on the said business? Well, I just still love teaching and really like to share a lot of stuff to new breed of hot blooded internet surfers aka young students and make them enlighten to the world of great beginning in making money online adventures. Aside from that, teaching makes me to learn new things and socialize to a lot of people offline. It is like a regular exercise routine for my brain cells and mouth muscles.
The advantages of my decision on focusing on my “work at home” business are – one, it let me spent more time with my family. Next it let me earn more than I should (compared to teaching and even to working abroad as an OFW) and finally it made me to take “rest” more than ever.
What I have now is just the beginning of a new day and I am very hopeful that my decisions would be according to what God have plan for me. I believe that everything that I have now – a great family, teaching career and a nice “work at home” business are all provided by the great God and I thank Him for that.
He is just correct to what he have said to me, “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you!” It happened!
