I just Registered at WordCamp Philippines 2008 in Participation with Mindanao Bloggers today and I’m looking forward to learn more about WordPress.

My intent in participating this WordCamp is for me to gain more knowledge about WordPress Blogging. I just switched WordPress lately and I’m really impressed with it. It has nice functions and there are alot of templates that can be used. I’m also planning to study about WordPress template designing and this camp will surely help me.

Sta. Elena is undoubtedly one of the Top Golf Courses in the Philippines even in Asia, It also received awards due to its beautiful course. It is located at Laguna and around an hour from Manila. The Golf Course is designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.

Sta. Elena is another top-notch layout, one of the most beautiful in Asia. The club’s 27 holes mean that you can play a combination of 3 courses, of which the Makiling Course is undoubtedly the best. This is a staggeringly enjoyable track to play.

The management is very friendly and will do their best to accommodate you. Don’t just turn up unannounced and expect to play though - Sta. Elena is one of the most famous courses in the Philippines and they definitely don’t need the cash that bad that they have to bow down to freewheeling Hongkies who are too lazy to make the proper preparations.

Sta. Elena also offers luxury villa’s near the Golf Course and they are the Banahaw and Sierra Madre Villages

Banahaw Village Banahaw is a 13-hectare island floating in the middle of a sea of green rolling pastures. Situated at the heart of the Sta. Elena golf course, the very first thing you’ll notice as you pull into it’s cool embrace is the silence. Completely sheltered from the noisy world around it, Banahaw is all about peace and serenity. Key elements present in every oasis. Bounded by a majestic view of the mountains for whom it was named, Banahaw is the ultimate pleasure retreat for people who work hard and want to relax hard.

Sierra Madre offers plenty of space to enjoy life to the fullest. Sierra Madre’s 20 hectares are designed to provide you and your family with all the breathing space you need. Open gardens for the kids to frolic in. Wide verdant pastures where you can kick back and have a barbeque or two with your family. After all, in Sta. Elena we believe that home is meant to be a place to rest and forget the stresses of daily life. And in the end, that’s all that counts. And that’s our idea of being lost in space.

So if you’re into Golf, then I recommend this place or if you just want to get away from city life and stressful life then Banahaw and Sierra Madre Villages are perfect as second homes.

I recently saw this post from Joe Hall and it was really a learning experience especially when you’re into Real Estate Marketing. He gave good insights on what to do and how to Optimize your Real Estate site for a better conversions and visibility.

I recommend that you also read it because It’ll surely help you especially if your struggling in your SEO.

I agree with one of his points and I’d like to quote it.

“Real Estate is Unique

There is no other industry on the internet like real estate. This is because there are three objectives to real estate marketing: market your listings, market yourself to sellers, and market yourself to buyers. Essentially, you have to both market a product and a service at the same time. Because of this many of the typical SEO rules change and research becomes more in-depth. Another unique aspect to real estate is local markets on the internet. Most SEO experts do their analysis with the luxury of being anonymous and isolated from their client’s competition. However, in real estate many competitors are people that you might do business with either down the street or in the same office, therefore SEO ethics and authenticity is just as important as face to face business ethics. If you are a real estate professional, it wouldn’t be wise contract your SEO work out to shady folks making cold calls with no references (trust me, there are allot of them!). Competing in local markets also makes it extremely important to master geographical keyword analysis and usage (more on this later).

From this point on, I am going to assume that you are a technology advanced real estate professional, or SEO consultant. If not, feel free to keep reading and ask your Web Developer or IT Specialist for assistance.”

Since Internet Marketing is getting popular these days, some Real Estate Companies are switching to these newest marketing trend. Forget the Billboards and Television Commercials even though their bit helpful, Internet Marketing and Search Engines are logically the best choice to invest your ads with as of today. Why? Because people will be the ones looking for you.

Unlike on televisions were in you blast your commercial ads to tons of people who are not really looking for your product or they are really not focused on commercials because they’re watching their favorite shows. Unlike the Billboards were in drivers pass by and see your huge ads but they’re really not driving just to see your ads. With Search Engines, people will search you not vice versa. And this means that the ones that visits your site are more likely targeted ones.

I’m not against those traditional way of marketing because they have done their part, I’m just trying to say that there’s a cheaper yet effective way to show your product and potentially give you more leads. Optimizing your Real Estate Site will help you get more visibility on the net.
