Vindication.....naaah

I ain't receiving no criticism, because no one expected anything. Yep I want that continued, thank you, your co-operation is appreciated. I am not on your regularly read blogs, and the best part is that, it leaves me unnoticed even if I post nothing for half a year ;) . I want Organic Traffic, I want people to come from Google.
So the thing I understood after all these ~6 months of almost life as busy as hell and partly denial on my side is that BLOGGING IS NO JOKE. Yes being regular is hell of a task, needs dedication. And the best and the worst thing after you've considered things like:
  • What is your blog about?
  • You think you can work that out?
  • You really sure! ;)
IS THAT REGULARITY COUNTS ON BLOGGOSPHERE LIKE ANNNYTHING.
(I guess you've worked these things out, and yes things like how to improve and improvise come after these points even after regularity)
And NEVER (yes I put that in bold) NEVER lose hope while checking out your stats during the first few months or maybe just forget about it in the beginning. You surely don't want to quit writing, only to find a couple of months later that your blog is getting enough clicks and features to keep you inspired to go on. I am very sorry to tell you search engines work slow(until and unless you own fb, being crawled multiple times in a single day), so just keep patience, if you believe in your quality content just wait and see, keep disappointment apart. I suggest just keep the stats counter to a side during the first few months.
Secondly I can't emphasize any more on BEING REGULAR. It helps like hell (some times even more than page-views, back-linking sites, sometimes even more than quality). Check out some stats(Yes, they are Alexa rankings after almost no page views in the beginning to so-so in the end, still leading to low ranking.)


And guess what lead to this.....just the difference lies in BEING and not being REGULAR.
I know this post will never make it to the top results on the search with such a NooB Title, this one's exclusively for regulars.

Blogger's Code Of Conduct

I see flame-wars going on the comment boxes, sometimes on face-book, sometimes over the email or text messages, so here I put a piece very important to Bloggers, and to general public as well.
The Blogger's Code of Conduct is a proposal by Tim O'Reilly for bloggers to enforce civility on their blogs by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog. The code was proposed due to threats made to blogger Kathy Sierra. The idea of the code was first reported by BBC News, who quoted O'Reilly saying, "I do think we need some code of conduct around what is acceptable behaviour, I would hope that it doesn't come through any kind of regulation it would come through self- regulation."O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas:
1. Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
2. Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
3. Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
4. Ignore the trolls.
5. Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
6. If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
7. Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.
I personally love these rules so much, after all they are so well said, so lets try to enforce them into our daily chores over here.
