Improve Your Visibility on Search Engines with Squidoo
As many of you know I have been raving about Squidoo. Squidoo ranks very high in the Google search. Imagine what it can do if you can get a link back.
Well, Su, Wandering Gypsy, Indian Pundit, Binary Day, Kabeeranban, Renie, Quirky Mon, Reveda. Go and see http://www.squidoo.com/Blogroll-India I have put your blogs in there (without your permission ofcourse, but I am sure you won't mind). I am in the process of putting up a few more (Adarsh Rao comes to mind).
Note that I have not ranked any blog - it is in the order in which I filled it up. You may vote for your blog or others' blog.
But the rest of you - you also can put you blog there. Or your friends. As long as th eblog is by an Indian. And not only that. You can rate the blogs as per your liking.
Please let me know if you like the idea.
Please also note that this is not a replacement of Indiblogger. Indiblogger remains close to my heart.
Besides, you will notice that I have not put up my blog.
Reason: Updated text to attract attention
@Ajay, @Prasanth, thanks for posting your blog. It is fun to see the blogs growing by the hour. It has now reached 47.
Someone has left a blog http://readerszon.com The link does not work. Kindly resubmit with correct link. Once the correct link is submitted I will take the broken kink off the list.
@Su, I loved the Mig35 and Su30. Soeday when we meet I will explain the niceties of aerobatics
From Amit's blog I could see that all Bangalore Bloggers had fun at the Iron Maiden Beer Fest. Sad! I missed out.
so wt if u missed it! u have another chance! Bangalore Blogger's meet is on 28th Feb. and i dont see ur name in the attendee list!
Hi Amitabh,
Great idea.
I added my profile there too. Would contribute further :).
thanks for this innovative idea
Thank you Hashir.
I assume that the 5*'s is by you.
Thanks.
@Amitabh,
been there, done that
This is turning out to be an interesting experiment:
Approximately 40 bloggers have submitted their blogs. Each of the bloggers can exercise their voting rights at least 40 times (for self and others). That makes 1600 votes. That would also mean every blog would have been visited 40 times. If more join in the merrier.
Unfortunately, the total number of votes registered is only 83. Many haven't even voted for themselves.
This is unfortunate because on internet the only way to be visible to others is by visiting others and leaving comments and building network.
Think about it.
Su,
From our business point of view I think I can call it a minor success. I think I will get new (at least two) customers.
From the spectator point of view ... there is an aerobatics display by Mig35, Su30 (hey! your name!), LCA (our team was at the heart of LCA when I was in HAL - some other time about this), Mirage, F-16 (Fighting Falcon), F-18(Supe Hornet), Typhoon, and a host of other aeroplanes. And oh yes there is a display of aerial refueling.
The static displays are alo good. You can see a couple of ancient planes.
Definitely worth a visit.
Remember to take your cap. It can become very hot. Drink plenty of water.
thnx a lot buddy! i'm goin today. :) it was an abrupt plan tho! hope to meet you thr! :)
I saw the display Amitabh! It was mind blowing. I loved the Suryakirans and Dhruv.
@Amitabh,
saw your mail. will add my blog to the list today.... pakka
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in update. Was busy with the Airshow --- the business days have been hectic.
Ok here goes ...
43 Blogs submitted so far
Many comments - so that is good
Only 4 people bothered to rate but all of them rated the lens at ***** (ever the opimist)
Ranked at # 1456
Rest of you where are you?
Just to inform you chaps - the lens now ranks at 1554. I hope there is some traffic flowing in.
My pleasure Sanjeev.
There are some advertisements on the lens. In order that that does not repulse people who are against monteisation on Internet, let me explain how I am not directly benefited by the advertisements (I looked around to find this out).
There are two aspects of making money on Squidoo. (a) All clicks on advertisements go to a common fund. It does not come to me. So whether you click on the ads or not does not make any difference. 50% of the money through ads go to a common fund which is distributed to all lens masters (that would include me and a few 100,000+ other people) using some secret formula. I will let you know when I get the few cents (b) If some one buys books using the Amazon links (some lens master also put e-bay and zazzle links, etc) then that money goes directly to lens master.
Going by my experience almost no Indian (I say almost because I have bought a few books on Amazon, but I do not know any who do) buys on Amazon. So do not worry about me getting rich. Please submit your blogs and promote your blogs (for voting) without fear.
In case, you are good at selling, you could try to make a few lens and try to sell using the above mentioned modules.
I hope the above information helps.
Cheers!
Thanks for the information Amitabh, it is a cool idea.
@ET, in any case your RSS feed remains for 1 week.
all fine!
Since I last posted the top of the heap changed rapidy. Have a look guys.
Too rapid!
Nalini - it is done. But yoy still have to register (free) to Squidoo to be able to vote and ghive me *****'s.
Others, I have added a new feature to my lens. Every week I will take a blog and feed its RSS. This week I have taken from the top of the heap. Take a look at the Featured Blog. (http://www.squidoo.com/Blogroll-India)
*Claps* to you..
Nalini,
It will be a pleasure.
Cheers!
Amitabh
