Flu now in Philippines according to DOH

MANILA, Philippines - A 10-year-old Filipino girl who had traveled to the United States and Canada was found positive for Influenza A(H1N1), making her the first confirmed case in the Philippines.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III announced this last night in a teleconference from the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Geneva, Switzerland.

"We now have the first confirmed case of Influenza A(H1N1) in the Philippines... The discovery of this first case is something we have been preparing for," said Duque.

The girl arrived in the Philippines last May 18, and eventually developed fever, cough, and sore throat the next day.

Swab throat samples were taken from the girl who is now confined in an "undisclosed health facility."

Duque said the samples were examined and confirmed at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) using the A(H1N1) testing kits donated by the Atlanta-based Center for Disease Control and Prevention through polymerase chain reaction machines.

"The patient was started on anti-viral and given supportive care. The patient no longer has fever and cough, but she still has sore throat," he added.

The family and those who had close contact with her have already been advised to go on quarantine.

"We advise the public not to panic. There is no community level outbreak. Measures are being implemented to prevent transmission," Duque said.

DOH Undersecretary Mario Villaverde said the results of the laboratory tests would be sent to a WHO-accredited laboratory in Melbourne, Australia.

He added the co-passengers of the girl in the plane home would be contacted to advise them to observe self-quarantine.

Villaverde had also urged the public to observe personal hygiene, take nutritional food, get enough sleep, take vitamin C, and drink lots of water and fruit juices to strengthen their immune system.

"If you can postpone travelling to other affected areas, that would be good for you," he advised the public.

WHO tally tops 11,000 cases

The World Health Organization earlier raised its tally of swine flu cases around the world to 11,034 and 85 deaths.

WHO said most of the new 791 cases have been reported in Canada, Mexico and the US. Mexico confirmed three more deaths linked to swine flu, while the US confirmed two since Wednesday's tally.

At least 38 other countries have also reported cases since the outbreak began last month.

A month after the world was alerted to a potential flu pandemic, the WHO was caught yesterday between the spread of the new swine flu virus to 41 countries and doubts fostered by its mild symptoms.

Some 10,000 cases and 80 deaths have been recorded since the outbreak of A(H1N1) influenza emerged in Mexico and the US, and the world remains at flu alert level five, signaling an "imminent pandemic."

But World Health Organization Director General Margaret Chan is hesitating about declaring a full-pledged pandemic by moving to phase six, even though travelers have carried it to other countries.

The top level would indicate sustained community transmission in a second region outside of the Americas.

Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso appealed for calm yesterday as a total of 281 swine flu cases were reported in the country, including the first in greater Tokyo, the world's largest urban area.

Antoine Flahaut, an epidemiologist and head of the School of Public Health (EHESP), said the technical elements were in place to move into pandemic phase.

"But the WHO senses that recommendations which go with that are not adapted to the situation," he explained, pointing to air travel restrictions or advice to wear surgical masks.

"Invoking phase six would be disproportionate with the current situation,"

The doubts have growm because of the relatively mild symptoms of swine flu, which experts acknowledge is no worse than seasonal influenza for now.

Most of the deaths have occurred among those who were suffering from other ailments, a common pattern for ordinary strains of flu.

When the WHO's annual assembly opened on Monday, British Health Secretary Alan Johnson voiced doubts about phase six that had been growing behind the scenes after countries rushed to contain new cases of swine flu.

"I think you, as you and others have said, need more time, we need more time to study this," Johnson told Chan, prompting nods of approval from other health officials afterwards, including China, Japan and New Zealand.

"She has taken that on board," WHO spokesman Thomas Abraham said late yesterday, underlining that most of the cases in Japan were largely confined to students or their close entourage.

Chan acknowledged this week that the WHO's pandemic response plan, introduced three years ago, was largely designed around the more deadly and virulent, but less transmissible, H5N1 bird flu virus.

"This scale was based on geographical distribution, but the public belief is that pandemic means seriousness," said Sylvie Briand, acting director of the WHO's Global Influenza Program.

What are the signs and symptoms of H1N1 (swine) flu in people

The symptoms of H1N1 (swine) flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with H1N1 (swine) flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with H1N1 (swine) flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, H1N1 (swine) flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.

In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

•Fast breathing or trouble breathing
•Bluish or gray skin color
•Not drinking enough fluids
•Severe or persistent vomiting
•Not waking up or not interacting
•Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
•Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

•Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
•Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
•Sudden dizziness
•Confusion
•Severe or persistent vomiting
•Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

How severe is illness associated with this new H1N1 virus

It’s not known at this time how severe this virus will be in the general population. CDC is studying the medical histories of people who have been infected with this virus to determine whether some people may be at greater risk from infection, serious illness or hospitalization from the virus. In seasonal flu, there are certain people that are at higher risk of serious flu-related complications. This includes people 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people of any age with chronic medical conditions. It’s unknown at this time whether certain groups of people are at greater risk of serious flu-related complications from infection with this new virus. CDC also is conducting laboratory studies to see if certain people might have natural immunity to this virus, depending on their age.

How serious is H1N1 (swine) flu infection

Like seasonal flu, H1N1 (swine) flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Between 2005 until January 2009, 12 human cases of swine flu were detected in the U.S. with no deaths occurring. However, swine flu infection can be serious. In September 1988, a previously healthy 32-year-old pregnant woman in Wisconsin was hospitalized for pneumonia after being infected with swine flu and died 8 days later. A swine flu outbreak in Fort Dix, New Jersey occurred in 1976 that caused more than 200 cases with serious illness in several people and one death.

How many H1N1 (swine) flu viruses are there?

Like all influenza viruses, swine flu viruses change constantly. Pigs can be infected by avian influenza and human influenza viruses as well as swine influenza viruses. When influenza viruses from different species infect pigs, the viruses can reassort (i.e. swap genes) and new viruses that are a mix of swine, human and/or avian influenza viruses can emerge. Over the years, different variations of swine flu viruses have emerged. At this time, there are four main influenza type A virus subtypes that have been isolated in pigs: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2, and H3N1. However, most of the recently isolated influenza viruses from pigs have been H1N1 viruses.

Why is this new H1N1 virus sometimes called swine flu

This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and avian genes and human genes. Scientists call this a “quadruple reassortant” virus.

Google Sitemaps FAQ

I decided to make these frequently asked questions about sitemaps to help relieve the amount of same thread questions. Hopefully this can help answer any questions you have related to Google Sitemaps. You'll find this FAQ will be able to answer most of your questions related to sitemaps, if you don't you could always post your question in the Google Sitemaps sub-fourm on digitalpoint.


Q: What is a sitemap?

A: A sitemap is an XML file that lists all available URLs for a website, along with additional information about each URL in the file. You should always create a sitemap for your website. This will help search engines crawl your site faster and display more content. Right now the standard sitemap format is XML, all major search engine use this format for sitemaps.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I create a XML Sitemap?

A: This is one task you will not want to do in notepad, it can be done, but would be very time consuming. There are many websites & freeware programs that can build an XML sitemap for you. I don’t recommend purchasing software to create XML sitemaps; many freeware programs do the exact same thing. Below is a few links to free XML sitemap generators & websites.

• http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/ - Free XML Sitemap Program
• http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp - Online Sitemap Generator (no limits)
• https://www.google.com/webmasters/to...generator.html - Official Google Sitemap Generator

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I submit my XML sitemap to Google?

A: This is a very simple thing to do; I also recommend placing a direct link to your sitemap on your homepage. You can the Google Webmasters Central to submit your sitemap to Google. There are many other great features and tools with Google Webmasters Central as well; you’ll find it very useful. Below is a link to Google Webmasters Central.

• http://www.google.com/webmasters - Google Webmasters Central

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What is the robots.txt file?

A: The robots.txt file is part of the Robots Exclusion Protocol. You can use this file to allow or disallow search engines from crawling and indexing certain areas of your website. This is great to reduce bandwidth usage by crawlers. You can also point to your XML sitemap file; this is useful since it allows search engines to find your XML sitemap.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt - More Detailed Information

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do I create a robots.txt file?

A: This is very simple to do. You can open notepad or any text editor you like and create the file robots.txt is text format only. Below is the basic sample code to point to your sitemap and allow indexing and crawling of all your pages. Just save this file and upload it to your top web directory.

User-agent: *
Disallow:
sitemap: Your URL to Your SiteMap

• http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/robots.html - More Advanced Robots.txt Usage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: I’ve submitted my sitemap, why haven’t I been crawled?

A: Just because you submit a sitemap doesn’t mean you might get crawled any faster. New sites can take awhile to get fully indexed into Google, or any other search engine for that matter. The best way to increase this indexing is by getting quality back links to your site. Remember, the sitemap is just a map of your site for the search engines; it doesn’t increase your crawling rate. If it does, it isn’t by much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Best SEO Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress is a great platform. It is one of the favoured content management systems (CMS) out there and it’s obvious why. It’s regularly updated. It’s easily customized and it’s suitable for the expert to the newbie. There are however several plugins which you can download and activate which will make your Wordpress more search engine friendly. Here’s the list of the top SEO plugins. They are not really in any order, just in the order I thought of them! Enjoy

1. All-in-One-SEO plugin

This is one of the best SEO plugins out there. With it you can customize every individual blog page/post’s title, meta keywords and meta description tags. You can also stop parts of your blog from being indexed. This avoids a lot of the duplicate content issues.

2. Google Sitemap Generator

A sitemap is a page which acts like a directory for that site. It lists every single page found on that site. It tells the search engines what new pages have been made as soon as they are made. Here’s more information about sitemaps. No coding skills are necessary and it works with all Wordpress created pages.

3. Sociable -> Antisocial

Social sites have become increasingly popular and cannot be ignored today in internet marketing. With this plugin you and your readers can easily submit to up to 99 social bookmarking sites. The Antisocial hack means that the links are nofollow. Thanks for that update

4. Smart Links

With this plugin you can make any phrase or word in your posts automatically link to other post/pages on your blog. Good internal link structure really does help ranking.

5. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

While we’re on the subject of interneal linking, this plugin will choose posts that are related and display links to them at the bottom of the page.

6. Meta Robots Plugin

This will help you follow, nofollow, index, noindex any links/pages you have on your blog.

7. SEO friendly images

This plugin automatically updates your images with relevant title and alt tags. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well. SEO is all about your users and useability. This helps.

8. Google Positioner

OK, this plugin only helps the admin and nothing else but I think it’s still worth a mention. It will track the positions of your desired keywords.

9. SEO Slugs

This plugin gets rid of words which you don’t want in your permalink structure such as ‘the’ ‘a’ ‘and’ making your permalinks shorter and more readable. These words are called stop words.

3 Ways to Get Indexed in MSN, as quick as possible

If you know anything about search engines, then you know that Google is, by far, the King, Yahoo is the queen (with a little q), and MSN is like the retarded 2nd cousin or something.

When it comes to getting a site indexed, you can accomplish that very quickly in Google, Yahoo is slower, and MSN is oftentimes the slowest, from my experience. MSN will eventually find your site if you are doing any kind of regular SEO or link building.

If you are looking to get indexed in MSN, quickly, then I found a few ways that seems to work, and I thought I'd share it with members of this forum. I've gained much knowledge reading the threads here, so it's my time to give a little.

3 Ways to Get Indexed in MSN as quick as possible

1. Exchange links with another site, indexed in MSN, that is PR4 or above. MSN spiders will regularly be visiting a PR4 site, so you should get one to your site by doing this. But, this exchange of links is not always the easiest to accomplish. You can check to see if a site is indexed in any of the 3 search engines by typing "url:www.mysite.com" (no quotation marks) into their search bar.

2. Submit your site to MSN at http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx. I've heard that this page goes down from time to time, but it's worth a shot. Submit, and if it is still not indexed in a week, submit it again, but wait at least a week. You don't want to overdue and have that hurt your indexing.

3. This method appears to be the fastest. Go to MSN.com, click on "MyMSN" on the homepage. Sign up for a free account. You do not even have to sign up for a or have a hotmail address. You can use your already existing email address. Once you have your MSN account confirmed, go to http://my.msn.com. Locate the "favorites" section of the page, then click on "menu" of the "favorites" section. A drop menu will appear. Click "change details." At that point you can enter any URL you wish and pick the anchor text you desire. Now you have a link in MSN. Should get some spider activity, quickly.

That's it. Hope it helps.

Top 5 Common SEO Mistakes

So you built your website, with hopes and dreams of internet riches, and the site looks great. But no one's coming to it! Then you start learning SEO, and you're feeling a little bit more confident about it. Here are a few easy mistakes that people make when learning SEO, to look out for as you start doing more SEO work for your site:

Mistake 1: Keyword Stuffing

Before explaining why it's a bad idea, let's first define keyword stuffing as overfilling your content with your targeted keywords/keyphrases.  By way of example, if you're targeting the phrase "navigation system," then keyword stuffing your content might read something like "Buying a new navigation system is something most customers do regularly as their old navigation system often fails to function in the proper way that a navigation system should..." and so on. It reads like a fourth grader's essay, and the search engine spiders pick up on the unnaturally high incidence of the same phrase repeated over and over.

While every SEO expert has a different opinion about keyword density, a safe but effective range might be considered 4-9% density. This makes sure the search engines correctly categorize your site for the services you offer, without them penalizing you for blatantly stuffing it with keywords.

Mistake 2: Link Farms vs. Directories

What is the difference between a link farm and a directory? It sounds like an easy question, but it's deceptively difficult. The reason is that directories and link farms share almost everything in common, so instead of a black and white difference between the two, they basically fall on a spectrum, and usually somewhere in the grey middle area.

That said, a working definition of link farm might go something like "a page of links with no other purpose or benefit to the visitor other than to provide backlinks to other pages." And why are they a problem? Search engines will not only disregard them as useless, they will often penalize the linked sites as well, by de-indexing them or demoting them in the rankings.

So how do you tell the difference between a link farm and a directory? Here are a few things to look for: 1) What's the Google Page Rank? 2) How well organized is it? 3) Does it have useful content other than links? 4) Is it visually attractive or otherwise made to be appealing to visitors? Be sure to ask these questions before submitting your site to an online directory.

Mistake 3: Duplicate Content

There's a lot of buzz going around the internet about duplicate content; quite simply, it's the same content appearing on more than one page on the internet. The search engines have been known to devalue pages that they see as duplicates, since the implication is that a site is simply spamming by putting automated content out on the web.

However, unlike link farm penalties, duplicate content isn't actively penalized, but merely disregarded sometimes by the search engines. If you're worried about it, well, write new content!

Mistake 4: Overbidding for PPC Advertising

Pay per click advertising (PPC) and SEO are NOT the same, but they're related enough to warrant a mention here. Amateurs often overbid for their PPC advertising, which not only costs them unnecessary money but drives up PPC prices elsewhere artificially. As with so many concepts in business, start low and go slow, which in this case means opening the bidding around 5-10 cents per click, and raising your bids as necessary to achieve your desired results.

Mistake 5: Investing Too Much Time in SEO Education

Serious webmasters devoted to online businesses and internet marketing would be wise to learn as much as possible about SEO. That said, the overwhelming majority of online business owners would probably be better off using their time to expanding their client base, or developing new products or websites, rather than spending tedious hour after tedious hour learning the minutiae of SEO and internet marketing. If you're capable of earning $45/hour while aggressively working your business, and can hire someone to handle SEO for you for $20/hour, then it's a no-brainer: hire an internet marketing company and get back to running your business.

Use your UnionBank account with PayPal

You should know by now that the previous Send-Only PayPal Philippines accounts have been upgraded to become Send-Receive-Withdraw accounts, meaning, PayPal Philippines users can now send AND receive AND withdraw PayPal funds.

Aside from UnionBank's Visa credit cards, you can also use UnionBank's EON Visa Electron and eWallet Cards to enroll in PayPal's Expanded Use Program. The Expanded Use Program will enable you to use PayPal to purchase products online without limit. More info about the Expanded Use Program is in the PayPal Philippines FAQ article.

Here's how you can use your UnionBank card to (1) attach to your PayPal account; and (2) enroll in PayPal's Expanded Use Program.

How to attach your UnionBank card in PayPal

1. If you don't have a PayPal account yet, sign up for one first. Read our "How to open a PayPal Philippines account" article for instructions on how to do this.

2. Once you have registered, log in to your PayPal account, go to "Credit Cards" section, and follow instructions there on how to add your UnionBank Debit or Credit card.

3. You will have to enter the full 16-character card number and CVV number of your UnionBank card. For the "Billing Address," use the address of record at UnionBank. If you are not sure which one this is, for users of EON and eWallet Cards, log in to UnionBank Internet Banking site and locate the Billing Address in the "Profile" page. If you are using a UnionBank Visa Credit Card, use the address that appears on your monthly statement.

4. Once your enrollment is complete, you can now use PayPal to purchase online with a limit of $100. To lift this Sending Limit, you will have to enroll in the Expanded Use Program.

How to use your UnionBank card to enroll in PayPal Expanded Use Program

1. Login to your PayPal account and go to the "Credit Cards" section.

2. Select the UnionBank card that you previously attached and choose "Enroll for Expanded Use." PayPal will charge you $1.95 but this will be credited back on your first PayPal transaction.

3. To complete your enrollment, you will need to enter the 4-digit Expanded Use Number in the "Complete Expanded Use" section.

If you used a UnionBank Visa Credit Card, you can find the 4-digit Expanded Use Number on your next monthly paper statement or by viewing your Visa Transaction History online. See sample below.

If you used EON Cyberaccount or eWallet, you need to contact UnionBank Customer Service Call Center at 84-186 (if it doesn't work, use 841-8600) and ask the customer service agent to provide you with the 4-digit PayPal Expanded Use (EXPUSE) code. You may need to tell the agent the exact date you applied for the Expanded Use (EXPUSE) code.

4. Once you have successfully entered the Expanded Use Number, you will receive a confirmation message that the Sending Limit has been lifted.

What is eCPM in Adsense Earning Results

eCPM a how much you earn for every 1000 real page views - if it is aggregated
.... or how much you earned for 1000 ad views, if you are looking at a specific ad.

Generally, it is a good way to measure how well you convert people viewing your site into money.


Examples, Explanations :

1) For instance, you might have an advertiser that will pay you 2$ for every 1000 views of his advertisement. A sponsor that pays specifically to advertise his brand on your site.

This grants you 2 eCPM, just from that ad.

2) Now, let's assume you add ads from a automated program, like Adsense, that pays based on CPC. With a CTR of 0.5%, for every 1000 impressions, you will have 5 clicks.
If every click pays 10 cents, you earned 5*10 cents, $0.5 for 1000 impressions.

So, now you have 2.5 eCPM total. $2 from your CPM advertiser, and 0.5 from CPC ads.

3) Lets add an affiliate link ! I classify it as CPA - you get paid for an action. You will sell something like a Golfing eBook, and earn a $40 commission per sale.

Lets assume you have 500 visitors per day, that view 2 pages each.
One in a 1000, clicks and buys the Ebook. So, for every 2000 page views, you get additional 40$, or $20 eCPM.

In total, $2(CPM)+$0.5(CPC)+$20(CPA) = $22.5 eCPM.

Remember, that eCPM is often referred in the context of views (no CPC or CPA), but it is a general tool that can measure the overall revenue stream of your site, based on page views.

Hope that helps
