Are you still buying backlink packages?


Have you noticed a surge in backlinks providers? Apart from newbie bloggers who offer backlinking services through DP forum, a few are further encouraged to put up a website selling their backlinks packages.

The business must be good else how come there are several of them advertising backlinks packages through Google AdWords? A few minutes ago, I was tempted to click on a Google ad from my email screen, The subject line said $30 per PR 6 backlinks. However, when I landed on the advertiser's site, I was greeted with $395!

I quickly exited. In my opinion, getting links back from sites that are not in way related to your blog's niche is absolute waste of time and money irrespective of the PR of the sites that are going to link to you.

The stanchions for trade shows.


I must admit I was terribly embarrassed when I failed to act as per the announcement on microphone calling me to present my identity papers at the counter inside any one of the stanchions. The bloggers conference hall was yet to get filled up even though I walked in exactly at the scheduled starting time of 1.30 PM. The reason for my embarrassment was I did not know what a stanchion is.

Eventually, when I reached the counter to register, I smiled sheepishly at the pretty young girl and frankly asked her whether she is one of the stanchions. She burst out laughing. She could not control herself for several minutes.

I reddened but waited patiently, the sheepishness was then as broad as the ball room. Finally, with a look of understanding, she pointed to the shining brass poles that held a silk ribbon.

Ah, there! The ubiquitous crowd control system that we see near the checkout counters in shopping mall and in trade shows is called stanchion post!

My dear, what a way to learn English vocabulary!

Chennai bloggers thank Tata Grande.


The four plus hours I spent on 9th October at the ballroom in Hotel Hyatt Regency was memorable. The event, "Chennai Bloggers Meet" was organized by indiblogger.in and sponsored by Tata Grande.

The man behind the whole show is Renie Ravin, a silent man who works behind the screen but ably assisted by Anwin . Both of them have made a quite few changes in the events when compared to the last year conference.

49 seconds to fame:
This is the introduction session that all the bloggers usually love and wait for. On the giant screen, the blogger's username in the indiblogger network was displayed along with his approved blog URL. With this info on the background (foreground rather?), the blogger was asked to speak a few words for 49 seconds which when exceeded, the horn will be honked by man at the wheel of Tata Grande.

Group discussion:
This is another new concept this year. A couple of groups on specific topics like blog monetization, automobiles, travel etc were formed and bloggers with interest in these groups huddled together and tried to make conversation because of a boisterous group.

During tea time, a reporter named Sagar from Indian Express asked me a few questions. He showed surprise that I maintain 16 blog out of which 4 blogs belonged to the category of blog sitting. His blog http://www.sruthisagar.com/ has a post on Advaitham of which I strongly disagree because I am a visihstadhvaithi.

One of the bloggers I met was Sanjeeta K.K. whose food blog titled Lite Bite located at http://litebite.in/ has got a huge number of followers which may be due to her stunning images on her blog.

The high tea was good and the free t-shirt too.

I thank indiblogger.in and Tata Grande. Hope to meet next year.

Regency Beauty’s Arizona manufacturing unit.

How else can I describe a cosmetology school that has set up five campuses in Arizona alone? Obviously, more beauticians are made from Regency Beauty Institute’s Arizona campuses that are part of 89 such Regency cosmetology schools in the U.S.

50 years ago, Regency Beauty started its first cosmetology education center in Minneapolis and now it is the fastest growing beauty school in the country.

I once had a chance to meet a girl from Philippines who was a student of Regency Beauty Institute. I met her in the lounge of a hotel. The way she carried herself was all poise and graceful which she said she owed it to her education at her beauty school.

Over the past 5 decades, the quality of education in hi-style and ultra modern campuses that housed upscale salons has improved leaps and bounds attracting young and aspiring beauty makers.

It is no wonder the graduates of Regency Beauty are snatched up fast by salons, cruise ships and television studios.

All-Inclusive Clickbank Course...

Every newbie blogger would be slowly drawn into the world of affiliate marketing and when that happens, they would first hear about Clickbank-the most popular and trusted affiliate network in the Internet. Millions of affiliates matching equal number of digital products are actively promoting CB (click Bank) products.

Nevertheless, only 10% of them are successful. Why?

Because, the 10% successful affiliate marketers have bothered to learn the CB promotion fully. The statistics reveal the importance of learning all about Click Bank before seeing your first sale.

Recently I have spotted a potential money making product called "All-Inclusive Clickbank Course", a set of insightful ebooks on various aspects of click bank promotion.

Have a look at it and let me know what do you think.
