Blogote Ends with Goals for 2009 Year!

Rockstar Sid — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 15:41:01 +0000

This article not only signifies the goal of this blog but also some of my offline goals which I would like to mention through this post.And hopefully this will be the last post for this year or may be not! Anyway the new year 2009 will not have lot of posts as you thought because of the Examination stress and the feeling of being lazy (Procrastinating) are haunting me day and night

As most of you know I am 18 and Studying Engineering Course which is really stressful and I cannot afford to post any post on a regular basis for the time being.I want to make sure that I am fully prepared for this exam (Commences from Jan 5th and ends on Jan 17th) not due to the fact that I am a wannabe Topper in the class but I will let you know the reason behind this once I score good marks! So moving on,I would make sure the goals put up here are not just achieved but are ACHIEVED HANDSOMELY!

Stop Procrastinating – The Biggest enemy

From the beginning of 2008 I have developed a habit of procrastination (Being lazy and delaying work) and I just promise myself that I will do this and that within this date or set a deadline but I have never completed the task perfectly in my offline as well as online world.So 2009 will be definitely a year where I will let this procrastination go away from me..

Study + Blog = Devote Time

When I was in this Internet domain,I always made small amount of money enough to satisfy myself but it was this blogote which has really made me to earn good money in a short period of time which brings in a grin on my parents face But this blog is not my future career (Not sure) so I have to concentrate on studying and also developing the blog to a certain extent worth recognizable in the blogosphere..

Reach 20,000 Pageviews Per day

A relative growth at 1000 pageviews per month would make 20000 pageviews more possible to achieve.To maintain a steady growth in traffic,the posting frequency should be increased from 1-2 to 3+ and as soon as the exam ends I will stick to this regular posting frequency with no lazy attitude..

1500 Subscribers at the end of 2009

Currently I am not concerned with the subscriber’s rate but still I prefer to reach 1500 subscribers by the 2009 year end.That is like 3 subscriber’s per day .. not hard huh ?

Make Huge money per month

The income generated from past many years keep on fluctuating most of the time so 2009 will be the year I will be taking a lead to generate steady income and I WILL reach 7 figure yearly income in rupees (25k+ $) .. Yea,I will also donate 200+ $ to a charity/organization which helps old people!

Get featured on Local Newspaper

I know this sounds crazy but I always wanted to get featured on a local newspaper not for being a criminal but for being a young blogger in Bangalore making a decent sum of money! This seems difficult but if I make good money and have proof of received check from ad networks then I am sure any local newspaper will feature me in some corner of the paper one day!

A last note

It was YOU who made everything possible for me and I must say you people are amazing for giving me consistent support and encouragement.And for those of you who are silently visiting this blog must at least put up a comment here saying “Hi” which will make me happy during this Competitive and Stressful Examination period.. Come on

Bye Folks..Will be back on Jan 17th!

Blogote A look at September 2008 Month

Rockstar Sid — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:05:30 +0000

Just found out that I haven’t blogged about the monthly wrap up posts for few months (Infact we did just one post ) So I thought to give readers a insight on our traffic which will bring us some respect in the blogosphere!

After 5 months of steady slow (sounds contradictory? ) blogging and posting less than 200 posts in this long period surely makes you think that I am busy right ? Well NO,I had all the time to blog in my Summer holidays but just wasted that precious time watching movies!

Moving on with the blog stats of september,we almost covered 100000 pageviews for this month!

99,780 Pageviews

65,806 Unique Visitors

The steady traffic started to flow due to the new design created by benjacob designer! (Ofcourse due to all the readers,commenters,well wishers and competitors )

Blogote was transferred to a local reputated webshoting in the initial stage of september (which was really disappointing) and we were kicked off in the mid september month by the new host with a no refund! Now we are hosted on Dreamhost for free Yeah,dreamhost didn’t sponsor us but Keith Dsouza did! Thanks a lot for the support buddy.

As usual Search engine traffic was the main source for the blog which lead to consistent traffic even though posting frequency was less.I am sure this fresh month will see a little rise in traffic as I will try to increase the posting frequency and get those super wishes from all the people!!

Blogote Re-Designed

Rockstar Sid — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:49:28 +0000

Wohoo! Finally after a lot of hard work and patience from the designer we got a wordpress custom design! Basically the need for a custom design was to have a unique identity on the web and I am glad as this design made the presence of being Unique on the blogosphere.Here is the redesigned screenshot

The design was entirely hand coded by Ben Jacob and I am glad I had stumbled across this talented designer few months ago.He creates unique wordpress based themes which is worth every penny! I do recommend Ben’s work to people who are looking for a custom wordpress redesign,head over to his blog called FeatherPot to find him!

Talking about the design,I wanted a theme which will have a fat sidebar and include a lot of post in the homepage with thumbnails.The outcome of the results were exactly as expected.The footer is divided into sections for more reference and the logo change was a bit unexpected,still it is different and matched the design I guess.

What do you think about the new design ? Did you like it ? let me know your thoughts about this

Google Pagerank Updated – Blogote :) earns some value

Rockstar Sid — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:31:50 +0000

After two months of blog posting and waiting anxiously for Google pagerank update,Finally blogote got some value! Obviously we started with a zero pagerank but we all know things keep changing.As a fact,We earned ourselves a Pagerank 2 which brings a big smile on our face!

Most of the webmasters consider Google pagerank to have no value but when it comes to private adveritsement (head over to forums) people sell ads for $$ which mainly depends on the pagerank.For example a pagerank 4 blog can expect 10$-20$ per ad banner placed on there blog for one month.

Google toolbar is updated once in 3 months.Though pagerank 2 seems to be nothing for other Big bloggers but we are happy to have atleast something to brag about…

Let me know about your pagerank change and does it really effect your blog identity ?
