As the number of sites are increasing, the competition to rank higher in the search engines in also increasing. It is becoming more and more difficult on a daily basis to get better rankings in search engines for one’s site. So people have realized the importance of SEO and are spending lots of $$$ on that. In the coming days, this is only going to increase further as the sites keep on increasing. According to a research some 60,000 domains are registered everyday out of which about 10% are made into sites. So that means about 6000 new sites everyday!

Since this market is expanding at such an enormous rate, so are the earning opportunities in this area. One of the important techniques in SEO is the directory submission to search engines. People pay lots of money to SEO specialist for doing this. There are lot of sites on the net that offer directory submission packages that ranges from low cost to premium prices. Over the period, this business has become a money milking machine with little investment. All you need is a directory submission script and you can have your own directory submission business up and running.

But one important thing to be noted is that people have realized that complete auto-directory submission is not good as search engines mark that as spam. So they now prefer semi-auto directory submission. So I would recommend you to start a semi-auto directory submission site instead of auto one. There are lot of scripts in the market or you get a custom coded one. All you need to invest is this and in a period of few weeks to months, you would be making nice passive income.

Two days ago, I got this leaflet in my letter box from hathway. This offer is available in Pune but I can’t confirm about other cities. As per this plan, you will have to subscribe to it for a period of at least 6 months by paying Rs.2500 (inclusive of all taxes) and Rs.500 as refundable modem deposit. This comes around Rs.416 inclusive of taxes per month for a 256 kbps unlimited plan and which is WITHOUT any fair usage policy.

The price seems great as I am already using the same plan but paying more than Rs.700! So it’s almost 60% of what I am paying right now. Sounds wise if you are not going to change your ISP anytime in near future. You can walk in to your nearest hathway office or call their customer support for more info. The customer support number for Pune is 020-30237700

Reseller web hosting can be a way to make some extra money on the internet. When it comes to your server, where you have obtained cheap web hosting, you can often use a little income that can be used to boost SEO efforts on your website or even take advantage of a new design. Reseller web hosting can be the most effective way for you to earn extra money for your server, but how does it work?

Reseller web hosting begins with purchasing a batch of hosting space from a company that provides server space. Once you have purchased the server space from the company, you divide the space up into small sections and at this point, you will sell these small spaces to webmasters that just need a small piece of space. Although you are selling these spaces for a small amount of money, when you have multiple sites and multiple small pieces of server that you are selling, you can easily turn a profit through the month, depending on how many sites that you are using reseller hosting to earn your income.

The graph shows Japan having the highest broadband speed of 61mbps on average at the cost of $0.27 per mbps. While U.S. has an average speed of 4.8mbps costing $3.33 per mbps. India of course, stands no where in the list. But if its speed were to be measured I am sure India will have average speed of not more than 115kbps (that too unreliable) while a 1mbps unlimited connection costs about Rs.1600 or about $34 per mbps in India making it one of the costliest and slowest country when it comes to broadband. And still BSNL advertises India having lightning fast speed!

The numbers at the top indicate the Page Ranks of the sites which are pointing to your site. This means if a site has a link to your site and it has a Page Rank then look how many such links you have and the associated Page Rank with it that you might get for your site in the next PR update.

Is this table 100% correct? Nope! Surely not but it certainly gives you a neat estimation of the Page Rank you might get or things to be done to get a particular Page Rank. I myself have tested it many times and found it to be correct.

Before you start your blog

1. Decide topic for your blog.
2. Selecting a domain for your blog. (Domain is name for your site)
3. Selecting domain registrar. I recommend Name.com
4. Selecting the best web hosting. (Explained later below)
5. Good theme
6. DEDICATION! (Most important thing)

1. Deciding on Topic

While starting for the first time, keep the topic that interests you. May be your favourite sport, passion, hobby or  just life in general. Whatever the topic you choose, just keep it easy, simple and focused.

2. Selecting Domain

Selecting a good domain is a lot important. The domain should be catchy, easy to remember and descriptive. (In case you don’t know what domain is, it is the name for your site!)

3. Domain Registrar

Domain registrar is a provider of domain to you. You can register domain names from them. Popular names include GoDaddy.com, Name.com, Namecheap.com , Dynadot.com and so on. I would recommend you Name.com. You can pay using credit card or paypal whichever you like.

4. Selecting Hosting

Web Hosting is a place on the internet where you will store files for your site. You will then use your domain name to point to this space address where all your site files will be stored along with the database.  Most popular hosting is cPanel web hosting as it’s quite user friendly in terms of GUI. Most of the hosts provide cPanel hosting but still note this before signing for a web host.

5. Good theme

I would recommend you use wordpress initially as it’s the most popular blogging platform and easiest yet effective to work with. But choosing wordpress is not enough. You must select a good theme that describes your site’s theme to the users. If needed, go for premium wordpress themes but don’t compromise on the look. It’s the first thing that your readers notice and as you, first impression is the last impression!

6. DEDICATION

After you start a new blog, remember one thumb rule – ‘Don’t expect even a handful of visitors for first few month!’ But still keep posting fresh articles and keep promoting your blog. You might have to do this for a few days, weeks or months. For some people it’s easly while for most others it takes time. Whatever might be the duration don’t give up! This is the most important thing of all. Eventually your efforts WILL bore fruits for sure.

If you wanted to recharge your mobile online and didn’t find a way till now then don’t worry.  Coz now I will show you many ways using which you can recharge any indian mobile using. You can pay by net banking, debit card or credit card.

1. EzRecharge.in

This is a relatively new site but I have had great experiences with them. Their customer support is quite fast and replies within a 24 hour time frame in case you have any difficulties. These people charge Rs.4 extra per recharge regardless of the amount you recharge with. You don not need to register with them mandatorily but I would advice you to do so just to keep track on your transactions. They accept Debit Cards, Credit Cards as well as Net Banking as payment methods. Almost all major banks are listed in the payment gateway so you can pay using almost all means.

2. Rechargeitnow.com

This is a fairly old site and I have had mixed experiences with them. I have recharged numerous times with them as of now and at times due to some technical error money was debited from my account but recharge not done. Upon contacting the customer care they refunded me the money within a few days time frame. Apart from this everything is great about them. Like the above site, this site too accepts all Debit Cards, Credit Cards and Net Banking as payment forms.

I would advise you to surely give these sites a try and enjoy a complete freedom with respect to time and place of recharging your mobile! Do post your experiences here later

Is Yahoo meme (read as me-me) Yahoo’s answer to twitter? Yahoo did try their hand at social networking earlier a few times as well but well, either their products were not satisfying or they were not unique and hence they failed! Yahoo meme looks like  the latest attempt by Yahoo to once again enter the social networking market especially – micro blogging.  Yahoo meme is similar to twitter or say has almost everything that twitter has to give and as well some extra features too.

• No 140 character limit
• Comments can be added under your meme itself by your friends
• You can also post Photos
• Can post LINKS to music files
• Can post links to videos to YouTube and Vimeo

Have a look at the screenshot below:

While it all looks and sounds good, main problem is Yahoo is not just late but too late to enter this segment. Twitter has already made its precense to every nook and corner of the world. So Yahoo will really have to push themselves to convince people that Yahoo meme is better than twitter and make them switch to it. Sounds pretty hard to me!

Yahoo meme looks good, has added features but it doesn’t have any USP of its own. It is nothing but a version 2.0 of twitter or a cross between twitter and tumbler. So at least i am not memeing unless all my friends switch to Yahoo meme!
