10th State of the Barrio Address (SOBA)

20 September 2009 61 Comments

barrio_siete_dot_comLadies and gentlemen, welcome po sa ating 10th State of the Barrio Address! Duda ko, di nyo napansin ang maraming pagbabago sa paligid nyo. As La Kapitana, andito ako to tell you that we do this to nobody, nobody bachuu *clap* *clap* *clap*!!!

Our Alexa rankings

Our Alexa ranking mga kabarrio continues to streak like insane. Imagine where we were 4 months ago. Anlayo namen sa mundo nang mga blogista sa Manila. Eto ang rank namen when we opened our internet doors last May 17, 2009. We were nobody and if you know the story, kinutya kutya kame nang mga tiga-kaVilang Varrio:

Alexa_a1

Four months later – yeap! Just 4 months! Eto na kami and here’s our latest sweetness numbers!

267552

Truth of the matter mga kabarrio is that: if the election is gonna be held today, Barrio Siete dot com will be the runaway winner. I mean, purihin nyo naman ang aming performance kundi block kayo sa Barrio! Hehehe! That’s why the combined False Asia and Social Climbing Weder Weder polls will not dare rate us dahil wawasakin nang Barrio Siete ang statistical formula machinery nila! Hehehe!

Growing pains!

We care for ya’all, Barrio Siete readers and lurkers! O di ba? Sounding presidential na ba kami or what?! The past several weeks kasi, the surge in traffic in Barrio Siete costed us some serious loading sa Pier 7 that our former web host told us to move to Forbes Park! Charing hahaha! Sabi nila, seryosohin na daw namen ang hosting namen, instead of being a squatter dahil hindi na biro ang traffic namen. If you noticed, you could now freely navigate the pages in the Barrio with no loading problem. We’ve moved Barrio Siete to another hosting company to resolve the problem. This guy: Mr. Social Media Philippines did some terrific job moving everything in the house to make your navigation easy.

Let’s go first with statistics

91809 readers

  1. Barrio Siete enjoys an average of 800 – 1,200 visits per day, with an average of about 48k hits everyday, in all of our 4 months in existence.
  2. Our visitors are from different countries mainly in the US, UK, Middle East and South East Asia. Many of them are OFW and overseas Filipinos. At the present, they account for an average of 85% to 90% of our readers. Sight nyo naman, buong US Capitol binabasa kami.
  3. The target audience of Barrio Siete is the largest group we have in the Philippines – the socio-economic group.
  4. Barrio Siete has already been exposed in the Philippine mainstream media.
  5. Our statistics will not stop there. We’re just 4 months old. Wait until we reach our first birthday. Baka talunin namin ang CNN pati na yong 8.5 million blogger! hehehe!

No high-flying english

Whether you’re an experienced blogger or a newbie, we all need exposure and I know I’m sounding one lousy infomercial here, hindi naman ako kandidato sa 2010 Presidential Elections, but in Barrio Siete, you can showcase your talent by tailoring posts for Barrio Siete readers. No high-flying english, kundi babatuhin ka namen. The more value you give, the more they will visit your own blog. Ganun lang yon and if I borrow someone else’s line – it’s that simple really hehehe! Agree, Barrio Siete can be a hub of talented writers who wants to help by writing valuable posts. At wag kang matakot sa mga credentials namen. Fonts lang yon.

Luzviminda Writers

Kaya, if your a blogger from the far north of luzon, to deep south in bicol, to down east in samar or leyte, to central visayas, or deep down in davao, kaliwa nang surigao, dulo pa nang zamboanga, Barrio Siete readers will certainly value what you can offer them especially in terms of the coming election from your local perspective. Ano po ba ang nangyayari dyan sa mga labada ninyo? Maawa naman kayo saming nasa labas nang Pinas, kelangan namen kayo! ~nakaluhod~ Mga tsismoso kame, kelangan malaman namen! hehehe!

Walang tikbalang samen

Barrio Siete is one happy family and a wonderful community of some very diverse personalities and pramis, walang tikbalang sa family namen. We broke the “supposedly correct rules of blogging” at pinatunayan namen na hindi kelangan ang english only sa blogging. At kahit na balikwa pa ang english mo, you will be successful depende sa content, style at sa pagiging madaling maintindihan nang mga magbabasa nang blog mo.

Konting Mother Teresa

There’s something about communities and they are powerful. It can help you create your goals and aspirations. And it surely can help all of us around the world contribute on how to make life in the Philippines better or reasonably acceptable. Oo ganun ang power nang blogging. Nakakagawa nang malinis na gobyerno kahit na impierno sa totoo.

The Judge

Alam nyo mga kabarrio, in the social web, we writers don’t determine the success of our blogs, the community does. Kiver kung naubos ang 26 alphabet na nakahilera sa last name mo. Kiver kung summa cum lugaw ka nang Hagard University. What matters is if you can give value to your readers. Sila ang judge. Hindi ang chembloggers. And given the success of Barrio Siete, hindi ako nahihiyang mag-invite senyo to join us here, sama na si Ka Tulfo, Conrado de Quiros, Huffington, ooops! Sori. Sumobra kapal nang muka ko hehe!

An invite for you to write for Barrio Siete

Kaya, hopefully this answers some of your email questions on how to join Barrio Siete. And there are wonderful reasons why you should write for the Barrio given that these are exciting times with the coming of the 2010 Philippine Presidential Elections. With this, I’d like to invite you to write for the Barrio and be a contributor. Of course, your permanent membership will depend upon your social climbing skills with the writers and with everyone in the Barrio. And an initiative coming from the Barrio Council na gawin kang permanent will make you a permanent resident, given na social climbing ang aming mission and vision. Korak?

And before you join, read all about us, and our writers.

Thank you!

~twirl~
