Also, another Filipino-owned (non-corporate) website also near the top of that list is earning twice as much. Get enough traffic and you will get lots of money (milyonaryo sa isang buwan).

Mga Pinoy Idol. Balatuhan nyo naman kami.

Argh.
Sorry, I just don’t like companies who profit from MMOG culture.

I think i’ll take this anytime especially since sites like/love to use Alexa as a reference point when they’re the baddest site on the block (check the archived PRs, sheesh) but suddenly discredit them when they get pWn3d in the rankings.

Oh, check out WHEN the changes occured as it is interesting to see who is following who in terms of online strategy.

Anyway, Thanks for the mention, brother Abe. still waiting for your email regarding a totally diffrent matter. =)

Nice list. Some very enterprising people here, especially that mp3-code dude. Making money out of friendster is still the way to go.

I bet he’s just sitting back now buying toys.

Candy Mag looks like a japanese site. Very eye-opening list.

Now, question. Why haven’t the print media covered these people. I remember when the localvibe group made it to the cover of Philippine Star magazine. These other guys here have achieved a success many notches above this group but they don’t get the pat n the back they deserve.

Some of these top sites are very useful as well: sulit and tipidpc, forums like gsmsandwich. Is iyot owned by an ilonggo?

The business model I like is the QJ.net network. Combine QJ.net and a source site like an mp3-codes and you’ve got a site that will last a very long time, in the service of the web community and a very lucrative business as well.

with that pageviews…phil inquirer has making a lot of money….anyway…Do you plan to own your own e-business pls visit http://www.blogmonetize.blogspot.com

How can the cost be a non-issue when it’s a business? I almost hired myself out as the first Filipino blogger of that network, and I’ve been following it ever since. It IS venture capital money but the site has been profitable for almost a year now.

It’s not all about making money quickly. Some of these “web real estates” will be worth many times their value now later on, depending on how media converge in the future.

Don’t forget that a big chunk of Inquirer’s traffic is from overseas. From a marketing, promotions and advertising stand point, more often than not you go for the right target market as opposed to the large numbers in traffic. If that were the case, you may as well go to radio and/or print.

Which is why if you notice there’s tons of Real Estate ads on Inquirer.net, because that’s basically what OFWs and etc are after.

Hehe where’s the rest of the traffic? =P Parang hindi 100% ata. 38% local traffic is not bad though. One thing you can do as an advertiser naman is figure out what time to show the local ads, and then what time to post the foreign ads.

Exactly! So in terms of ad spending, if I were an advertiser, it really helps to know where you put your ads. I also wrote on my blog about the matching possibilities for advertisers, i.e. high traffic forums, portals, etc.

5M a month… wow. Covered na server farm maintenance mo! Hehe.

Hi Yuga and Pinoys reading this,

Just saw this post, a friend gave me the link. Hmmm it’s actually very, very hard to manage a music site especially when it’s pulling 14TBs of bandwidth everyday or more than 400TBs every month.

I constantly have to improve server settings, configs, and load balance my site to several dedicated quad core servers. This is apart from the other sites I own and those too have their own dedicated servers.

In fact, we have just disabled the mp3 uploader temporarily because of too much bandwidth usage. Users need not to worry since we are currently creating a much better script and new layout for the site so watch out for that. :)

So you see, it’s not as easy as it sounds like BrianB said: “I bet he’s just sitting back now buying toys.”

To all aspiring webmasters and newbies out there, don’t lose hope and continue to work hard. I’ve had my fair share of failures, difficulties, trials, and even experienced being suicidal. lol kiddin. ;)

We are actually currently developing new sites that i’m sure our Filipino people would truly appreciate and enjoy. My partner, Louie, is also venturing in the product affiliate marketing, and is even making much more $ than me.

We’re just too tired of seeing foreign-made sites with 90% of their traffic coming from the Philippines, if they can do it, why can’t we?

Thanks so much for reading my relatively boring, out-of-topic, and longISH post. :D

Sincerely,

Alex
