Promoting Your Blog

Image representing Blogger as depicted in Crun...Image via CrunchBase

This is in no way a science or guarantee; it's simply a few suggestions with which many bloggers have found success.

Set your blog to Send Pings. When this setting is activated, your blog will be included in various "recently updated" lists on the web as well as other blog-related services.

Activate Your Navbar. Do this and you might start to see the effects right away! One of the features on the Blogger Navbar is a button called NextBlog - click it to visit the next Navbar-enabled blog.

Install Email This Post. If you use Email This Post on your blog, people will be able to forward your posts to friends. This may not have an immediate impact on your site stats but it enables others to publicize your blog for you.

Turn on Post Pages. By publishing every post as its very own web page with Post Pages, you ensure that your entries are way more link-able and more attractive to search engines.

Turn on your site feed. When people subscribe to your site feed in their newsreaders, they're very likely going to read your post.



Add your blog to Blogger's listings. When you add your blog to our listings it shows up in Nextblog, Recently Updated, and other places. It's like opting-in to traffic.

Write quality content and do it well. If your "style" is bad writing, worse grammar, no punctuation, and an ugly design, that might be okay for a niche crowd. But the idea here is to achieve mass appeal, so fix yourself up a bit.

Publish regular updates. Simple: the more you blog, the more traffic you'll get.

Think of your audience. A good way to build an audience is to speak to one in particular. When you keep your audience in mind, your writing gains focus. Focus goes a long way toward repeat visitors.

Keep search engines in mind. There are a few things you can do to make your blog more search engine friendly. Use post titles and post page archiving. This will automatically give each of your post pages an intelligent name based on the title of your post. Also, try to be descriptive when you blog. A well crafted post about something very specific can end up very near the top results of a search.

Keep your posts and paragraphs short. Strive for succinct posts that pump pertinent new information into the blogosphere and move on. Keep it short and sweet so visitors can pop in, read up, and click on.

Put your blog URL in your email signature. Think of how many forwarded emails you've seen in your day, and just imagine the possibilities.

Sumbit your address to blog search sites and directories. People look for blog content at Technorati every day, are you on their list? You should be. Submit your blog's url to Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex, Popdex, and any other site of that ilk you come across.

Link to other blogs. Links are the currency of the blogosphere and it takes money to make money so start linking.

Install a blogroll. It's a very simple yet effective social networking scheme and it has the same result as a simple link if not stronger: traffic! So if you don't have one yet, sign up for a blogroll and get that link-list going.

Be an active commenter. This is in the same vein as linking. Most comment systems also provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog which begs a visit at the very least. So if you feel inspired, leave a comment or two in your blog travels. It behooves you.

Slumdog Millionaire: Viewpoints and Moral

Slumdog Millionaire: I rarely watch any movies if it is not the talk of the globe. This particular movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is the first and sole movie, which I watched from the beginning to end in the last three years. And this is my first time of writing a movie review.

After watching this movie, I thought I should write the moral of this movie from my own perspective. It may not be same from your viewpoints.

Before I start, let me highlight the behind people in this great movie.

It was directed by Danny Boyle (born on 20 October 1956, Manchester, England, UK) and co-directed by a renowned Indian director, Loveleen Tandan.

The writers of this coveted novel is Simon Beaufoy (screenplay) and Vikas Swarup (Novel "Q & A").

It was released in USA on 30 August 2008 at Telluride Film Festival and on screen in India on 23 January 2009.

Summary of the story:

A Mumbai teen, who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.

My Viewpoints

The actor is a street guy with a moral good character. He has a numerous experiences from his struggling beggar life. It shows that experiences in a downtrodden life are well memorized. Some may say the recollection of his experiences is not relevant to the questions. But in my viewpoint, I can understand how and why these difficult questions can be answered from one’s experiences. It is simple, the whole parts of his life are not telecast, and rather only the important parts were expose to be seen. To support my argument, lets see the answer of pistol inventor. The movie does not show how, where and when did he come to know the inventor of pistol. It is understand that if someone posses something important, a curious person must know the pros and cons of the items which he posses.

Another point that bothers me, how and when did they learn to speak English? I know that it is important for that world to understand what they say. What I mean is that being brought up in a slum area and where there is no English is used, it somehow, in my opinion degrade the saltiness/value of the movie. If there could be a little part, which shows how and why they came to speak English, it would be superb.

The Moral

The sole moral of the movie is the POWER or IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCES.

Life is a continuous chain of experiences. These experiences are both good and bad but both help us live a more educated and productive life. Experience is a key ingredient to success on the job. One proverb says, to recruit for a newly created post, an experienced employee is much more preferred than a well qualified professionals.

One of my cousins, Rev. T. Dongzathawng who is currently in US used to say, look unto the past, ask the experienced people, walk the path of the old roads and learn from what you see.

When I was a little boy, I was unaware of what he meant by that. When growing older and older, I come to know that what is the importance and power of experienced.

For example, let me illustrate one of my many experiences in my recent life.

When I was looking for a job in New Delhi. The first question, which the interviewer asked was that. Do you have any experience in KPO related jobs? My answer was quite clear. I replied NO, not even in any other job except some experiences in self-style journalism. By that time, I realized how important to have experience in any field.

Experience, which I call useless

People who keep on changing their working lines, Jack of all trade and master of none.

Seven Reasons to have a Web Site

WWW's Image via Wikipedia

Needless to say, having a web site to promote your activities or ideas is imperative nowadays. The earth is no longer a vast planet. It has become a global village. You can instantly talk to your buddy who is in different parts of the world. Communication and instant intimation is one of the most powerful tools to the road of civilization.

You can make information available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No matter what time of day or night, anyone can find basic information about you, your purposes, or your organization. activities often comes from people who know you. The Web gives you a chance to pass your identity out to thousands.

03. Today's Yellow Pages

The WWW (world wide web) is the new yellow pages. There are enough activities, organizations, and people now on the web that many people use it as one of their first sources for information. How can the public list you in search directories to be accessible when you don't even have a web page?

Think of the Internet as a huge Yellow Pages with no limitation on the size of your activities/identities. You can supply an unlimited amount of information at your site, such as: store hours, location, etc.

Comments and suggestions are valuable forms of input to improve both your activities and member relations and you can provide forms and an email address to get this input.

06. Valuable Library

Online Profits Contest: Win a Free Membership

Many people wrote emails to congratulate me for the launch of the Online Profits training program, saying that they think it is a excellent course, and that they would love to join, but they don’t have the funds to be able to.

Thinking about that I decided to run a contest giving away 10 free memberships (each one worth $288). Those free memberships will give you full access to the training program for 6 months.

How to Participate

The memberships will be given away in a random draw. In order to get your name included on the draw, all you have to do is to write a blog posts about Online Profits. There are no other requirements. You don’t need to write a positive review or anything.

If only 10 people end up writing the post, you automatically win. Even if 20 people enter the contest, you still have 50% chances of winning, and so on.

On the homepage of the site you can see all the information about the mentors, the training program, and the frequently asked questions. If you are sure you are going to write the post, I can also send you lessons 1 and 2 by email so that you can review the learning content (just email me asking for those).

The only limitation is this one: only one entry per person (not per blog), and only blogs with 50 or more RSS subscribers (to avoid people creating blogs today just to enter into the contest).

Once you wrote your post, just send me an email via the contact form with the URL of your post.


The Random Draw

The random draw will be done via the Random.org website, on Saturday (January 17). If you guys want I can also record a screencast while doing it to make the process transparent.

You can join the program anyway even if you plan to enter into the contest. If you end up as one of the winners I will just refund your membership fee.

Any questions or suggestions, just leave a comment below.

Update: If you can’t or don’t want to write a blog post, my friend John Chow is also running a Twitter contest for Online Profits. You can see the details here.

Northeast leads in terror casualties but Central eyes on J&K

India- composed of thousands of tribes is experiencing different types of national or regional movements. Among them, some of the notable movement by an insurgent group is Jamu and Kashmir. While the Central government pay a maximum attention in the hill state of J&K, casualties due to insurgency is maximum in the opposite site i.e. the North East of India. As reported by IANS.

India's restive northeastern region saw the maximum number of fatalities in terror strikes in 2008, surpassing Jammu and Kashmir in the latest figures released by an independent security think tank.

The northeast, particularly Assam and Manipur, has turned into a veritable killing field with the region accounting for 1,057 deaths compared to 539 casualties in Kashmir in the past year.

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), a New Delhi-based security analysis agency, Assam reported 372 fatalities while the death toll in Manipur was 500, second only to Kashmir, which recorded 539 deaths.

The SATP figures show that the total number of deaths in the northeast has increased from 640 in 2006 to 1,057 in 2008.

And most of the casualties in the northeastern states like Assam, Manipur, and Tripura were in towns and cities with urban terrorism rearing its ugly head in a new trend.

Manipur, the state where I hail from produce(s) almost fifty insurgent groups. SATP listed the following insugent groups from Manipur.



Proscribed Terrorist/Insurgent Groups

Active Terrorist/Insurgent Groups

Inactive Terrorist/ Insurgent Groups

  • Chin Kuki Revolutionary Front (CKRF)
  • Hmar People's Convention (HPC)
  • Hmar Revolutionary Front (HRF)
  • Indigenous People's Revolutionary Alliance (IRPA)
  • Iripak Kanba Lup (IKL)
  • Islamic Revolutionary Front (IRF)
  • Islamic National Front (INF)
  • Kangleipak Kanba Kanglup (KKK)
  • Kangleipak Liberation Organisation (KLO)
  • Kom Rem People's Convention (KRPC)
  • Kuki Defence Force (KDF)
  • Kuki Independent Army (KIA)
  • Kuki International Force (KIF)
  • Kuki Liberation Front (KLF)
  • Kuki National Organisation (KNO)
  • Kuki National Volunteers (KNV)
  • Kuki Revolutionary Front (KRF)
  • Kuki Security Force (KSF)
  • Manipur Liberation Tiger Army (MLTA)
  • North East Minority Front (NEMF)
  • People's Republican Army (PRA)
  • Revolutionary Joint Committee (RJC)
  • United Islamic Liberation Army (UILA)
  • United Islamic Revolutionary Army (UIRA)
  • Zomi Revolutionary Volunteers (ZRV)
There are several more insurgent groups in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh.

So, what is the value of North East India states and Jamu and Kashmir in India's security? I am in the opinion that, if the Government of India pay equal attention in the NE Indian states as that of Jammu and Kashmir, there would be no insurgent or there would be atleast some outcome in the NE region.
