I would to clarify that I have not been doing any experiments about the relation in context of blogs, thir traffic metrics and not posting. Just that I was busy trying to figure out where the Indian stock market is heading to.

I would like to welcome all my 595 Feed readers to TheAnand I crossed the 500 subscribers mark last week and hope I can touch the 1000 readers by the end of November. Thanks for adding me to your readers people, I am humbled and it makes me all the more responsible about what I blog! The instant I hit publish, I am reaching out to 500+ people!!!

Recently Yahoo! started off its makeover spree with the all new Yahoo! homepage. It is only being phased into for international users yet, so your next bet at a perfect homepage is My Yahoo! which also recently went through a facelift. I fell in love at first look with the ability to add tabs and page tabs to organize your stuff.

When I was starting my money online ventures almost 3 years(woo, the anniversary is comin up!) back I had adsense on my personal site in geocities and stuck up adsense chunks on all the three pages of my site and was waiting for revenue to roll in. But then, if you have had your hands dirty with adsense, you probably now know that it does not work that way

I got my account activated on the 3rd of November 2005. And that was my first years income on adsense! But unlike most others, I did not quit Currently making a decent money on adsense, I guess I can talk about a few reasons why you do not make anything out of your adsense sites.

I was too busy looking at the footer of CNBC TV18 for the past week and finally have decided that buying websites is a way better investment than trying to make money in the stock market! This is a screenshot of my current holdings

Though I was able to make some money over the last year same time with a way lesser investment than this, this year was something else! Currently at a red color of more than Rs. 90,000, I am beginning to think that buying websites are a way better investment option than putting it into shares!

Last week I was again struggling with server issues and downtimes on all my sites which made me look at ways to reduce the load on my poor server. I currently have about 50 wordpress installations and some 10 php based sites on the server.

Though wordpress is considered to be a efficient script, having 50 of them at the same place can be a problem, or so I learnt! Going through the “ways to speed up wordpress tips” across the google results on the blogosphere, I noticed the regular tips like

1. Upgrade wordpress to the latest edition

Truthfully, I started blogging to make money online and am still focused on it. And I believe that everyone should start with making money online. The niche almost exploded when JohnChow, the papa make money blogger started his little experiment.
