My blog is blogged!
It was a sweet surprise to see that my blog is blogged on blogged.com . While checking my websiste stats, I found many visitors coming to my blog through this URL and I clicked on the link out of curiosity and it was good to know that the editor gave me 8.2 points. I found it quite fair.
It is written that, the Editor reviews are provided by professional editors who evaluate a blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style. I personally feel that I could have got more points iff ( yes if and only if), I was more punctual in posting. I have been so busy in promoting my website and my office work, that I am not getting time to do regular blog posts.
However after seeing such feedback and reviews, I plan to write daily and then some more pressing work is there, and the blog takes a back seat. These days I am also busy doing wordpress custom theme designs and I simply love it. I am a programmer by profession, but I love designing and have an eye for detail and I can spend hours working on photoshop and designing stuff and most of the time, I am busy doing that only. So guys, if you are looking for a sleek and clean looking wordpress blog, you can write to me.
Well here is the screenshot from the blogged.com website
Decorating your blogs :)
As blog/site owners, we all know how important it is to have the right widgets and right tools installed, so that you can keep an eye on the traffic, popularity and for making the blog accessible to as many people as you can.
There are many blog directories available today, but my favorite so far have been mybloglog. For me it is much more than a blog directory as it lets me know the exact web traffic, the popular keywords, how and from where people are coming to my blog, and most importantly - where they clicked on the site. It is very important as I get to know exactly which adsense units are working best on the site or the blog.
In the attched screenshot, you can clearly see the list of keyword terms through which people visit to my site, the actual search engine, where they are landing and where exactly they are clicking and thus I can keep a track of the popular adsense blocks and I can identify which format works best for the site. Also I get to see if they have clicked on any affiliate links. With 3USD per month, it is indeed a good service and I don’t mind paying that much to get all these useful information.
One major advantage of using mybloglog is that it keeps a track of other mybloglog visitors so you can build your online social circle easily by going to various blogs of your interest, leaving a message here and there and thus you create your own web community, which is really a very good PR for your website and it helps in making your site/blog popular.
So if you have still not added this widget in your blog, do it right now. I am sure, you will be happy and moreover now it is owned by Yahoo. So you will need a yahoo id to register.
