The Man Behind Boy Bastos
Visited the boybastos.com site when I got home from Gilmore and it’s down (with still some few words to say). . My wife said that the NBI (or someone) finally got the man behind the talked about website. It’s all over the news now.
When I first found out about that news, I was not aware of the existence of boy bastos dot com. Checked the site then, and immediately I have a 100% idea who was the single man behind boybastos - the Bembang man himself!
Mark is ‘the dude who created Bembang! almost 4 years ago‘. I admire the man (not in the gay sense of the word). I read his About Page and got the impression that he really love his work - which is technically nothing. He’s just into ‘creating & updating sites for a living‘. When I read those lines, I said to myself… Idol ‘to!
He said:
I don’t have a job. I make a living from Internet ads (AdSense, AdBrite, etc.)… In 2006 one of my sites reached the Top 100 Philippine Sites in Alexa’s rating. I will keep that site secret from this blog because God might see that I created that site and it might cost me my ticket to paradise.
Well, I guess we now know which site that is, eh?
I wanted to do what he does actually. I want to be jobless too.. :) but with many money. I then started copying his moves (well the ones that I am aware of anyway) I started doing my blog stat when I saw him did his. I wanted to have 1000 unique visitors too before putting in any sponsored stuff (which I can’t wait any longer).
How did I find out about Mark Verzo?
Probably around April this year, that was the time when I was thinking of doing a blog about local filipino bands under everything-eli and I needed material for the new blog. I did a little Googling and I stumble upon Rockstar Bembang.
Original concept was to put in as much information as possible for every contemporary pinoy banda - news, articles, gig sched etc. It is through this website (rockstar bembang) that I started creating profiles for Pinoy Banda.
From then, I just follow the bread crums that eventually led me to The secret blog of Mark Verzo… and his neighboor.
Idol ka pa rin! Tsiks nga si Loren. Crush ko yun eh. :) — Madam, I voted for you ha :)
Everything-Eli shuts down… hahahaha…
Di ko yata alam yang balita na yan. Ayaw kong pumunta sa site nya lalo syang sisikat hahaha
Anong meron sa kanya, kapitbahay?
Astig ka ha! You’re into seo na rin hehe… saka na ako dyan wala pa akong tyaga hehehe
Happy weekend sa buong pamilya!
