With curiousity, I tried withdrawing a small amount out of my verified philippine paypal account thru eon. It was lunch Yesterday, November 15th (14th in my paypal) when I took $100 thru the eon way and guess what? When I woke up 10am today, the process is already completed. That was really fast knowing that paypal said that it will take around 5-7 days to process.

Now the big question….is it already in my eon card and available to withdraw? I’ll check it out later today and will give an update!

After installing it to a couple of sites, I earned around $4.xx thru it with a $0.28 rate per click and I can assure you that those are legit clicks. Yesterday, while checking my current earnings, it went down to $0.10 per click affecting even my previous earnings making my total at $2.xx! It was really disappointing though I haven’t earned much yet (lucky me I haven’t placed it to some strong sites yet). I even had five referrals under me and now I feel like I should be sorry for them too.

I also made a research earlier and found this thread from digitalpoint forums wherein it seems like I’m not the only one experiencing this.

be noted that they’ve got a lot of sign-ups from digitalpoint members as this is one of the biggest forum and marketplace for webmasters.

I hope we’ll get better explanation from widgetbucks with this issue.

Paypal is now in the Philippines. Yes, it’s official. See attached screenshot taken from the paypal website.

This is a good chance for all Filipino internet marketers to compete against those from other country who’s been previously using paypal.

Paypal Philippines account holders can send and receive payments, and also withdraw funds to a bank account in the US and in addition, withdraw to a credit, debit, or prepaid card.

Mabuhay Paypal Philippines! World Wide Web, watch out…Filipinos are now in the house!!!

This is a nice addition for all adsense users, we don’t have to worry anymore about loosing checks or waiting for such a long time for it to arrive as with western union, it’s just a day and our money are ready to pick-up!

So goodbye adsense check

I was even affected by that revelation, some of my friends and relatives now keep on asking me how much I make online, and I always tell them, no… I don’t earn like Yuga!!!

What I do is lead them into a certain discussion in the seophilippines forum wherein there’s a number of members posting screenshots of their earnings. And for every person that I lead to that page, they were always amazed with how much the seo guys earns…

One post that catched my attention in the thread was created by es-i-ow where he posted a screenshot of his adsense earnings showing an amount of Php502,657.38. Click the thumbnail below to see a larger view:

Was he really earning that much or was it made possible by photoshop magic?

No one really knows but you can read the whole thread and decide for yourself, besides, there are also some members who posted something that seems legit excluding mine (click the image below and you’ll see why)….

There are some who earns from adsense, text link ads, adbrite, amazon, domain parking and a lot more. Just be aware that it wasn’t made overnight by these guys, they have spent time and hard work for all of it.

But facing reality, there are really lots of Pinoys making big time in the web and I personally know some of them though I can’t reveal here as I haven’t asked their permission if I can mention their names as they always go low profiled – they don’t want to be the next boybastos

I just wonder when will Yuga post his own screenshots in the thread.
