Tagging through blogs have been around for ages. I got tagged when I was on blogspot and imagine my confusion when I had to deal with technorati tags and ultimate tag warrior. But I remember being tagged with **** like “8 characteristics of your dream girl” and the likes.
I think that your pagerank jumped because people used your themes and it makes that a linkback. A quick check on technorati reveals that.
Blogging and Studying can go together. I work in the day and blog during nights.
The thing here is to control your blogging. ie. Limited but Quality posts.
You can always write your topics in advance, especially during weekends and post it one by one over the next week.
This will give you the time to focus on your studies too.
There are many bloggers who have quit their jobs just to blog.
Quitting a job for blogging and quitting studies for blogging are very different things.
Lovedeep: Nope, The game is open… You can play too
Anirudh: Yeah, maybe. But I don’t think search engine spiders would crawl upto the end of the page. Most crawlers only make it to the 1/2 or 3/4th portion of the page. So I think, it doesn’t effect much. Even Technorati doesn’t consider these linkbacks. So it worthless (I feel)
Lovedeep, Vijesh: Actually I have applied for Science, If I had applied for Commerce, I would have happily passed out and join courses like BCA or BBM…. Work load is heavy, times is precious.
Actually, I could write post in advance, just like Vijesh said, but I something need to be written ASAP (before it appears on other blogs).
Anyway, Thanks for your encouragement, I’ll continue my studies next year.
this >> “This blog made me quit my studies and take up full time blogging (This was done against my parents wise & will, I have no regrets for what I’ve done) ”
doesnt make u sound any cooler. its not fashionable to show up that you are “totally” into something at the cost of something else. that doesnt make us think that u are dedicated.
and ajay is right. consider ur studies seriously, no blog no ad company cheque can get you things that a degree can fetch.
and the way you’ve written makes everyone think that you actually dropped out of college . u know there is difference from actually dropping out of the college and losing interest in academics. for right now i know that u are still in college and that you are having your mid term exams.
so get clear here in this matter.
as for the things that you are accomplished with the blog, yes that is appreciable.
Okay, I didn’t notice your comment about your studies, and I did a little more checking up via orkut and stuff. Please don’t take offense, but you really should get your priorities right. I did my +2 in science myself and wrote the fuking iitjee(back when it was in it’s glory) and I know how much time you get. If you manage it right you can do everything. Trust me, what you do now determines a large area of your life. Of course, this may not be the only way, but you really don’t want to end up regretting making this move. You have a lot of time ahead of you to blog full time and the fact that you’ve done so much so early is remarkable. I’m struggling to get my pagerank to one, and you can always write some nice quality posts at night instead of linking the latest links. If I were you, I’d get mugging asap. I really have no authority to give advice, I suck at acads and need some alternative career, but remember that you are playing with your future, and that’s more important than a lot of things. Do science, get a compscience course somewhere and the world is yours.
haha that was interesting to know Thilak.I want to become a full time blogger but my passion fo programming and my parents will never let me.But i will find a way to remain as a prt time for my whole life.
