Imthiaz Blog

Today I upgraded my blog to the latest wordpress release. The upgrade was quite simple as usual. This time I made it a point to clear all my plugins and download all the latest ones.

I planning to discontinue my plugin organizer. There is no time to update such a big plugin these days. I will update menu manager and pda plugin this weekend.

I really like the tag feature in the new wordpress. There are few things I feel it is very much needed

• Tag manager
• Bulk post tag updater
• Quick tag update on posts

I already have so many post and I edited few for tag and I felt lazy and stopped. Thanks to wordpress for this wonder update

Today I came across the site www.indomains.net which helps to create Indian based domain names ( .in, .co.in, net.in ). So I immediately wanted to register for imthi.in

I registered and payed using paypal. I got a confirmation mail that payment received and processing the domain.

I parked the domain on the same server of imthi.com and I checked it was live. Everything happened in a duration of five minutes. This is the fasted registration of domain I have ever noticed.

Latter I changed the mx record to Google accounts and got both my domain email work.

imthi.in

I got a mail from one hosting company that they wanted to place an ad in my linux category page. They are ready to offer me 39$ for it per year. I am wondering if that price is okay to go with or it too cheap. I get better pay from Google adsense.

If anyone feels that it is a good price to go ahead let me know. I am thinking like 100$ to 150$ per year.

Don’t know bit confused about this

Two weeks back I cleaned up my blog categories. There was too many of them and most of it was hardly having more posts in it. I was expecting a potential drop in my traffic due to search engine. I thought it would be better to do it now than latter. So I went ahead and cleaned it up. As I was expecting there was a good drop in referrals by search engines. When I say search engines my main contributor will be Google. Other ones only scan my website with crawlers and they don’t give me back any visitors which is too bad.

That was a big list. Good to see that most of them visit to my blog on a daily basis. If I compare with referrals given back to only Google is fair enough

I am really glad to see that so many visitors coming to my blog from different search engine sources. One more thing I am happy about is Yahoo is sending some bunch of new visitors recently which is really a good sign. I hope my traffic will conditions will improve
