Link Exchange for Wordpress blogs

Posted by Prathik R M on November 3rd, 2007

Making a blog is easy but getting good visitors and a high Google page rank is also important, having this thought in mind I made a new Wordpress plugin (widget) called as LE Promote. You may be wondering how this is different from other methods of link exchange, well to start with, you don’t have to do anything in order to enable the link exchange, you don’t have to communicate with other web owners to hit a good link exchange deal. The other special thing about this is that it is compatible with any template in Wordpress.

Who’s the richest man in the world?

Posted by Prathik R M on October 30th, 2007

Hindustan Times has reported that Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in the world and another website, Times Of India reported that he is not the richest man it the world. Sensex in India is now at 20000 points and it went up by 700 points in one day. Press Trust of India used this report to calculate that Mukesh has 63 billion USD, but this calculations were wrong, that’s what Reliance Industries claims. Now is this claim by Reliance a method to evade tax or is it a claim to be humble, that is the question.

Even if he’s not the richest man, Reliance Industries told that Mukesh Ambani has 50 billion USD, which will makes him the 4th richest man.

If you are a investor, then this is the time when you have to invest in Indian market.

Path to blogging success

Posted by Prathik R M on October 22nd, 2007

When I was in the 9th grade there was a poem in which the poet tells about a fork where he comes, one followed by many people, the other was luscious and green but no one took the path. The author took the luscious and green but later found out that many people didn’t take it is because it was really bad, it looked good only in the start. I apply the same principle here to, take the path which is chosen by many to make money online and that is blogging. Though Stepsandtips.com is non-profit, it’s sister site Tech36.com is doing good.

Do the following things to ensure people come to your blog (website), run programs in which you get to communicate with the users. I recently ran a hosting competition and it got good response, the strategy is interaction. Step two for good blogging success is quality content, in most of the blogs it’s the same content put in different ways. Sign up to receive press releases and then write about new launches, that’s what I do in Tech36.com/blog. Finally join social bookmarking services like Digg and Delicious, you’ll get immediate visitors from them, if you want help in integrating digg to your website, drop a message.

Adsense video units not in India?

Posted by Prathik R M on October 14th, 2007

Google Adsense in US websitesThere was a lot of hype about adsense video unit and many publishers in India were very excited about this as the number of click through rate and effective cost-per-thousand impressions (eCPM) would also increase, but this did not happen. Indian adsense publishers are yet to get it, but the question is why is it late? Why is there no video units for Indian publishers?

Guys at Google are good, may be it is under beta testing and they are testing it on US publishers or maybe because Adsense is very popular among US publishers. India is known for a lot of click fraud and click exchange groups, maybe they are making a very powerful fraud detection system before it is made available in India.
