The "Ins and Outs" Of DAP And PDAF #SocialMediaBusinessMarketing

Criticisms plagued Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) and Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of Pnoy Administration which were used as funding system to prioritize country’s developments. It’s employed for Local Governance prioritized-projects that really need funding to hasten the vital developments of each province in the Philippines. The fund’s released to accelerate the important aspects of local projects submitted by leaders.

Opposition leaders interpreted DAP and PDAF were unconstitutional based on the Philippine Constitution which needed rigid consultation from the Senate. The Supreme Court ruling on the DAP was one of the most difficult challenges for the President in 2014. This also brought on the President’s lowest performance and trust ratings. The High Tribunal’s decision declaring the DAP unconstitutional can also be blamed for the uncertainty in government spending, which slowed down the country’s economic growth. The Supreme Court was bound to uphold its earlier decision and junk the motion for reconsideration filed by the Office of the Solicitor General. The voting on the matter, however, was deferred until the resumption of en banc sessions in January 2015.

Moreover, it has been employed by Pnoy Governance with clarity on purpose, implementation and monitoring. Other government sectors couldn’t enliven their increasing demand for development that needed funding. The resources for their projects were scrutinized by other political observers as unfair when it comes to funding. The Pnoy Administration’s continued to persuade the Filipino people that with this system, the Philippine economy’s constantly increasing due to the fact of its quick funding response.

The negative aspects of these two systems are contested by the opposition leaders, groups and individuals who thought that the present administration will have the ways and means to shuffle the funds without the knowledge of the Senate.

So, this coming January 2015, the continuation of the en banc sessions could clarify the funding to its proper form, substance and essence.

Also, President Aquino has also signed the P22-billion supplemental budget for 2014, which critics claimed to have also been infested with funds from the DAP and the PDAF. The President said the supplemental budget will cover projects that had no more funding due to adverse SC rulings against the PDAF. “When we fell in line with the call of the people to remove the PDAF from our budget, we have removed the whole that abuses the system. Together with it, there are projects delayed, services cut, and liabilities unpaid,” Aquino said.

It was not the initiative of President Aquino that removed the PDAF, however, since it took an SC decision that branded it unconstitutional that led to the removal of the legislative pork barrel. In fact he contested the SC decision saying that PDAF is not itself bad but only the abuse of its use. “Of course, we cannot let our countrymen suffer that we have already given attention to,” he added.

The supplemental budget also contained P10 billion for rehabilitation efforts in areas devastated last year by typhoon Yolanda. Other projects that need immediate funding were being allocated to complete its course.

Despite the challenges facing the administration in its last years in power, the Palace official was optimistic that President Aquino will deliver in 2015 on the promises he made during the campaign and his last four years in office.

Let’s wait and see on how Pnoy Administration will handle the Philippines for the year 2015 onwards.

The Whys And Hows of Guest Blog Posting #SocialMediaBusinessMarketing

You’ve probably heard of guest blogging before, but just in case, let me give a quick description of what it is. A guest blog post is when someone other than the owner of a blog writes content, and the owner of the blog posts this content while giving credit to the original author, sometimes just by name and sometimes with a link to the content writer’s website. This is good.

Why Are Guest Blog Posts Good?

But why is guest posting good? First, let’s look at it from the perspective of the blog owner. They don’t have to spend nearly as much time to publish content when they don’t have to write it themselves. Furthermore, they still have control over the content. They can always choose to reject what a guest blogger has written before it is posted. But more than just being convenient, it can also provide their audience with a fresh and interesting view on a topic, or even provide some expertise that the blog owner doesn’t have by themselves. Which means it’s good for the blog’s visitors, which inherently makes it good for the blog owner.

But what about the writer? Why should he or she spend time writing free content for someone else? In short, exposure, traffic, and rankings. Since this post is attributed to the original content writer, an entire audience that may never have heard of the content writer will suddenly know of him or her. This alone makes it a valuable marketing tool, but that’s not all there is to it. With a link in the post, it can also directly drive traffic to the content writer’s website! Anyone who owns a website knows that a website without traffic is worthless, and that traffic is undoubtedly valuable. This is a great, legitimate, and inexpensive way to get some extra traffic. But that’s not even the best part. The link does more than drive traffic. It gives you a vote for Google searches. These are some of the most valuable links you can get for increasing your rankings in Google due to the unique content and the limited number of in-content links. Plus, they tend to be permanent, so each one will continue to help for an extended period of time.

Is This Better Than Other Forms of Link Building?

Short answer: yes. Google is able to tell if a link is part of a navigation sidebar or footer, and these links are discounted, though the sheer number of them can still sometimes make them quite valuable. Links in the form of ads can be powerful, but you either continue paying for them or they disappear. Links in a guest blog post are permanent, generally free outside of the time spent to get them, and in context so they are not discounted like footer or sidebar links are.

How Do You Actually Get a Guest Blog Post?

So, I’ve established that they are important, but how do you get them?

This will take some finesse, some practice, and lots of rejections. You will need to send requests to blog owners that include your idea for a guest blog post. These requests should compliment something specific on their site, and should include links to samples of your writing. Of course, the request itself should be well written and free of any spelling or grammatical errors. However, even when these requests are well written with good ideas, the blog owner will often refuse the offer. You’ll have to have a thick skin for this, as you’ll likely get more rejections or no responses than you’ll get accepted blog posts. Fear not, however, as there are some ways to increase your success rate.

Here is a rough step-by-step guideline for how to do this:

1. Find a blog that is more likely to accept a guest blog post offer.
2. Make sure this blog fits your niche.
3. Write your request well, and provide examples of your writing in your request.
4. Write the post using a targeted keyword.
5.Link to your own site sparingly and respectfully, but try to get a targeted keyword for your anchor text.

If you approach blog owners that are explicitly looking for a guest blogger to post on their site, your success rate will go up dramatically. There are a few ways to do this. The first, and most tedious, way is to go to lots of different blogs and look for some sort of submission page. Though they are in the minority, there are many bloggers who openly advertise on their site for guest bloggers. Some of them are pickier than others about the quality, quantity, and topic of the content than others, so you’ll likely still get rejections even from these bloggers, but at least you know up front that they want somebody, even if it might not be you, to do a guest blog post for them. However, this requires going to lots of different blogs and hoping you can find such an advertisement or submission page, which will likely be called different things and be in completely different locations depending on the website. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some place to aggregate blog owners who are looking for guest blog posts, so that people who want to submit guest blog posts can?

Well, there are a couple of places like that. They tend to be forums, though, so there is no special software or setup required for using it. Only the usual forum registration. One such website is called My Blog Guest. There is a subforum there for blog owners looking for guest bloggers, so you can go there to find people who are much more likely to accept your request, as long as the website they have fits the niche you are going for. What’s really nice, though, is that there’s a separate subforum for people who want to write a guest blog post. You can make a post there and, as long as your post is well written and accurately describes the niche or genre that you would like to write about, you can just wait for the blog owners to come to you! Of course, this is likely to take longer than if you send the requests to the owners yourself, but if you do both, you can really maximize the number of successful posts you get. There are also other less-specialized forums out there that you can use for the same thing, like the Warrior Forums, but people there are looking to buy, sell, or trade links. They are more likely to accept a guest blog post than a random blog, but that’s not necessarily what they are after.

Another way to find others who want guest blog posts is to join some sort of mailing list. Blogger Link Up is one such mailing list. To join the mailing list, you just fill out the form shown above on their site. When you do, you’re guest blogging offer will be sent to everybody who has signed up for the mailing list in the past. You most likely won’t get a huge response each time you send out an offer, but you’ll likely get one or two for each offer you send out, and it’s a great way to connect with others who want exactly what you have to offer. There is yet another shortcut for getting guest blog posts as well, and that is joining a group in a known service that specializes in blogging.

One such group is found on LinkedIn, and it’s called The Blog Zone. After joining this group, you can communicate with a couple thousand bloggers out there, many of whom would love to have access to a few guest blog posts. Many of them even joined this group for the purpose of obtaining guest blog posts. As a result, you’ll be able to find a lot of opportunities here the old fashioned way, by talking to people. One note, though, there is a special subgroup here that can prove especially useful: The Guest Blogger. It is even more focused on exactly what you want to do, which is exactly that: to be a guest blogger.

Other Methods For Obtaining Guest Blog Posts

So, you’ve exhausted My Blog Guest, Blogger Link Up, The Blog Zone, and you can’t find any more blogs with “submit” pages, but you want to do more. What do you do? Well, you go to any blog that looks like it would be a good place to get a link from, and use a service like Who Is to find an administrative contact. Who Is will take a domain name and look at the publicly available registered information about that website, and will almost, but not quite, always have an email address or sometimes even a phone number that you can use to contact the owner. Now, keep in mind that these people are likely not actively looking for a guest blogger, and some of them don’t even know that their contact information can be found this way, so you’ll get a lot of rejections this way. However, sometimes the best sites simply don’t have another way to contact them, and blog owners will occasionally accept a guest blog post from such an email, so it’s worth looking into.

The Request Template

The request should be moderately formal. It should compliment something specific on the owner’s website so that they know you are a real person who actually took the time to look at their website. Then, you should politely ask for a guest blog post, clearly state your intentions (number of links, where the links will point to, anchor text, etc.), present a few ideas for the topic, say why you think it would be good for their website, and provide some examples of your own writing so they can see for themselves if you are good at it or not. In fact, here’s a decent template to go by. Just replace everything with {} around it with the correct information. Keep in mind that you might want to modify it a little bit to your own personal tastes.

Hi {website owner’s name},

My name is {your name}, I write articles for the site {your website}. I really liked your website, {website owner’s website}, especially the {specific thing you really liked about their blog}. In order to get exposure to new audience; I’m interested in writing a guest article on your blog. I’m sure that your audience would like my writing, as I will write a post based on the theme of your blog. If you have any specific process for submitting articles, please let me know I’m happy to follow that as well.

As for the topic, I’m planning to write a post about {your suggested topic} that keeps your readers in mind. I’m also open to writing about any other related topic, if that is what you would like. If you’re interested I’d appreciate you getting back to me. I can send you a draft between {lowest number of words} and {highest number of words} for you to consider for publication. All I’d ask in exchange is a link in the {location you prefer} with the anchor text {your target keyword} to the URL {your URL}.

Below are a couple of samples of recent feature articles I’ve written:

{a couple URLs pointing to your articles, preferably on the same topic}

Thank you for your time, please feel free to get back to me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

{your name}

But What About the Guest Blog Post Itself?

There is one catch, though. You shouldn’t go for every possible guest blog post out there. There are a few things you should worry about as far as content of the post as well as the other content on the website that will be hosting your guest blog post. Why is that, you might ask? Well, when Google finds a link to your website, there are a few things they look at.

1. The anchor text on the link itself
2. The content directly around the link (the guest blog post itself)
3. Relevance of the post’s title tags, copy and other SEO elements to your anchor text
4. Number of outbound links on the page competing with your link
5. What the linking website, as a whole, is about

Google uses these things to determine what your website is about according to those who link to you. If Google thinks that your site is about something other than the content that is actually on your site, it can hurt your Google rankings for your keywords instead of help them. Since you’re doing the writing, you directly control number 1 and number 2 as long as you can keep the writing good enough to please the blog owner. As a result, you should make sure that your post targets a keyword that you are trying to rank for, just like a post that actually goes on your own website. This way, Google is more likely to get the right message from this particular link. And, of course, the anchor text of the link should be a keyword you are trying to rank for as well. This can sometimes be a problem, but we’ll get to that a little bit later.

Number 5 can only be controlled by actively seeking blogs that fit your niche, and denying opportunities from blogs that don’t. If a site that is clearly about furniture in Google’s eyes talks about furniture and links to another site with the keyword furniture, Google is sure to think that the linked-to site is about furniture. If it is indeed about furniture, this is a good thing, and the link will prove to be valuable. So, be sure to get guest blog post links from a blog that has the same (or at least a very similar) niche as your own website.

Problems and Hurdles For Potential Guest Bloggers

Sometimes creative differences between the guest blog writer and the website owner will occur. Many website owners don’t like to link to an author’s website with anything other than the name of the author’s website. Many feel that anything else is unprofessional. You may need to provide a specific example as to how it can be done while keeping it looking professional. If this can’t be done, you may have to give up and accept a less than ideal link. Don’t worry, the link will still be valuable, just not quite AS valuable.

Above all, never give up! Practice, work on better requests, show off better writing skills, and it will all pay off in the long run!
