Breaking : Google Pagerank update is in Progress! Good or Bad for webmasters?

Seems like Googles Pagerank update is in progress (Thanks Binoy who pinged me on Gtalk with this news, showing that his blog showed a change in Google Pagerank!).

Thanks Binoy For Reporting

Google updates it’s pagerank quite often, but according Google’s Marissa Mayer google has 2 Pageranks. First one is Internal which updates on Daily Basis while the second is External, the one you see on Toolbars and pagerank checkers. But, as few sources claim mostly Internal pagerank is taken into consideration for various purposes. 

Frankly Speaking, i have had experiences when websites with pagerank 0 have got onto the first page for top ranking keywords, which prove the myth of more pagerank=more vists wrong.

Dont Blame me Because i used Bing's Twitter Search

Super 8 reasons why People Start blogging and Posting Content Online

blogging_now

Not wasting time on other stuff and getting back to the point. As the title suggests here are 10 reasons as to why people get onto internet and start a blog. There you go!

  1. They have a big fight with their School/College/Office Colleagues and the decide to take on a mission, to completely shatter, insult and kick off other persons identity (One Reason why i started blogging was to take revenge with one of my class mates. Since he had lots of hair on his body, i named my first post as “Hairy Potter” with his pictures.)
  2. They just broke up with their GirlFriend/BoyFriend and now, they think their next girlfriend could be their blog. Sounds, Weird but people do attempt such things. If you want to spot such blogs out, then you can surely make out this when the blogger is blogging about his ex’s and giving love advices for you, to now break i.e becoming the next love guru.
  3. They Think blog as a matrimonial service and try to find the “Eligible Partner” and often hide their identities under names like the “Eligible Bachelor”. Seems Weird? Check out this blog which actually does this.
  4. They bought a new product, maybe a car, gadget or anything. They bang the customer service desk but no response. Now the only method left is to hurl abuses at the company via your blog and make them understand the damn situation. (Wait, i did this sometime back too)
  5. Some People think Blogging is the shortest route to become rich online. This is lame, but i can find you 100,000′s of blogs where they just have 10 posts, or perhaps they do post frequently but by visiting their blog posts, you find more ad slots compared to actual content. Well, some people do make money online after hard work like Sensonize.com while others don’t give a damn about the content they post!
  6. Blogging, is the fastest way to catch attention of people, and it’s greatest advantage is that its free. You pick up a noble cause and support it. Here’s a Example of this Act – FundACause.
  7. Apart from Money People do it because they think, blogging will get them Fame, name in newspaper headlines, Tv Channels :=) Well, that does happen [True in My Case :P ] but only to people who are dedicated. Hoping that you add content for a month, and have super high expectations is crap, unless your a celeb, or some high dignitary (Obvious).
  8. 40% people blog for fun. Correct, and thats 40% blogs on the web are more interesting than others :) Its not about just posting content, but posting things which you are interested in, your opinion, views and things which you think can make a difference.

The Best way Windows 7 could be promoted : using 7000 dominoes!

 

Windows 7 with 7000 Dominoes

Windows 7 with 7000 Dominoes

Windows 7 marketing strategies have been good, yes very good. From the burger whopper to offering freebies in places and launching their own cafe’s and retails stores. These were the best ways windows 7 could be promoted.

 

But launching it with dominoes? No one did think about it, correct? No, Guys at Hyderabad, Microsoft India did think and got it into action. They used 7000 dominoes to unveil windows 7 logo along with some fireworks above it. At a point, it does hang out somewhere in between (resembles Windows) but no one is perfect so thats alright.

Picture 42

Lastly, they got some balloons joined together to form the windows symbol which looked pretty cool! Video After Break.
