Withdraw your Paypal funds to your Local Bank Account

I know this information was released last January 2008 but I am posting this "good-to-know" information because I have tried it myself and would like to inform other Filipino freelancers out there that there is an alternative way to withdraw your Paypal funds aside from credit cards or debit cards.

You may way to check out this page which gives the detailed steps for you to Withdraw your funds to your Local Bank Account

http://pages.ebay.ph/bankwithdrawal/

And I am quoting this from the same page:

"For Philippine users, withdrawals of PHP 7,000 or more are free. For withdrawal amounts less than PHP 7,000 there will be a fee of PHP 50. For Indonesian users, withdrawals of IDR 1.5 million or more are free. For withdrawal amounts of less than IDR 1.5 million, there will be a fee of IDR 16,000."

Now the important thing that you need to indicate on that is your bank code. So here is a complete list :

Sounds cool? Please share your thoughts. =)

Keywords: The way to a great amount of web traffic

Ever wonder how to increase your blog traffic? Most of the articles and ebooks that I have been reading about Increasing your traffic points to researching good keywords for your website. I have been a ghostwriter and wrote articles for clients who would always require certain keywords to be included in the article. This is quite challenging for me because I prefer to write whatever comes out of my head. And I never realized the importance of these said "keywords" not until I become a blogger. So now, I have a few good reads and great tools which will help us get a higher page rank.

Choosing the best keywords - This is an interesting article that will teach you how to look for keywords that best suits your blog or website. It explains the techniques that you can use so you can find and locate the most related and most popular keywords.

Top paying keywords - If you are targeting top paying keyword, then you may want to read this articles because it has 100 top keywords with their cost-per-click (CPC),

Google Keyword Tool- I personally like this tool because for one it was created by google, thus I believe it provides a more accurate results. Moreover, it provides you a list of keywords but also their Approximate Search Volume (which refers to the approximate number of search done for that specific keyword on the previous month) and Advertiser Competition (which is the number of advertisers that bids on that specific keyword).

Other Keyword Generation web based tools that you can use:

SEOBook Keyword Generator

WordTracker

Do you know any other way to easily locate effective keywords for your blog or website?

Clipnabber: Easy way to Download Videos from Youtube, Megavideo, Dailymotion, Veoh, Tudou and many more!

I love watching videos from youtube and even tudou. However, there are times that I got irritated when I see that buffering messages everytime I watch. Also, there are cases that when you want to watch your favorite youtube video again, it was already deleted. And now I though that it must be good to just download the video and save it on pc hardrive. Much more that I like the idea when my daughter had that mini MP3 / MP4 player.

If you will google internet, you will find a lot of software that will help you in downloading these file. But I choose CLIPNABBER since it is web-based tool so you do not need to download it.


To download the video as an FLV file, follow these steps:
1. Go to : http://clipnabber.com/ and then type the URL of the video link on the PASTE URL box.
2. Click NAB VIDEO button.
3. Right click on FLV DOWNLOAD LINK
4. Select SAVE TARGET AS
5. Select the drive or folder where you would like to save the file through the SAVE IN box.

6. Type the name of the file on the FILE NAME box.
7. Click SAVE.

Note: Use Internet Explorer.



Just wait until the file is fully downloaded. Then, you can watch the file using an FLV player. If you have other type of players or would like to use a gadget such as PSP or MP4 player to watch the movie, then you need to convert the file on the desired format.

And here is a helpful information from clipnabber help page:

How do I convert .flv files for use on my iPod or PSP?
There are several applications you can use for this purpose. Here are a couple that are free (at least shareware) and have been known to work. For Windows: Replay Converter. For Mac: iSquint or ffmpegX.

But my husband downloaded Xilisoft Software so that is the one we are currently using to convert the files.

By the way, here are the list of websites that you can download through clipnabber.


That's basically it! And now you could enjoy watching your favorite videos!
