i have been reading about SEO as recommended by a friend of mine. And told me to join SEO Philippines. I learned that if SEO is done correctly, it can be pretty lucrative. Right now SEO Philippines has an SEO contest called Ituloy AngSulong. I do not know if I want to join since I am a newbie in SEO. But it looks like I need to start getting into this side of the Internet world and I need a good place to start. So I decided to start playing with my own application just to get my feet wet in the world of search. And just to apply what I have learned, I downloaded the Google API to start learning how to use it. And my friend lent me a domain to play with, so far I came up with this website that now gives the top 10 Ituloy AngSulong website. But since this is using the Google API, I can only run 1,000 queries a day, I might modify to be able to cache the data and pull the data from Google only every 5 minutes.

My next task is to place the Yahoo results first. I have been searching about the API and was looking for a ready made PHP script I can modify and I haven’t a good one yet. Maybe I will just parse the XML of the feed on Yahoo.

I’ll post my developments of the script on the site.
