Entrecard Reviewed

/ Guttu / 3 Comments

And at last I am writing my review on entrecard. When I started using entrecard I wrote some posts regarding this site. I don’t think those who’ll be reading my blog will be unaware of entrecard. I’ll still give links to my earlier posts about entrecard.
Entrecard – what is it??
On a high

Things changed after that. I tried entrecard for a week. I got some serious traffic and good number of pageviews. But in the end it was not at all good traffic. As I expected earlier, the traffic was temporary. Things like “u drop I follow” will just give traffic to your blog. Not the readers. And I am always looking for readers. I don’t expect comments also. I know they’ll come automatically if you read.

So after a surge of traffic with the help of both entrecard and linkrefferal, I stopped. I stopped for a week. I didn’t comment anywhere nor did I replied to the comments posted on my posts. Just remained silent and did nothing, other than trying to solve domain problems. This was to check if I’m really getting readers or it’s temporary.

The results were expected. The average number of visitors dropped. And hence the pageviews. But still happy that I got those readers in spite of doing nothing. Now that I have got a domain I need to do better. So I’ll be active everywhere. At least I’ll try to. I’ll keep entrecard widget. It’s not because of the traffic, but the readers it gave. While looking at statistics I found that there is some increase in readers. Those who bookmarked my site. This number is very less compared to traffic. But good for me. In the end entrecard is good for those who have adsense on their blogs. They’ll get good revenue. But it’s not for those without adsense.

I wrote in a comment in the second link above that I’ll not post about traffic for 10 days. Now it’s more than that. ^_^ I’ll keep updating about my blogging progress.

Finally a Domain

/ Guttu / 8 Comments

Phewwwwwww…This domain thing made me go crazy for a week now. To notify all my fellow readers, whom I’ve not been responding for a week, I bought a domain. www.thinknonsense.com. So please update the bookmarks. Though you’ll be redirected to this page automatically I still suggest to update the bookmarks. To all my link exchangers also. Please update the link in your blogroll. Your link stays with me anyways.

I bought this domain on 4th July. I thought it’ll be easy task to change things and within a day or two my site will be up. But no. Very poor support from my host company Hostindia made my life difficult. To all those buying a domain, I suggest not to go for the said company. Whatever I asked I got a one or two line reply without any detailed info. They should provide support when I pay them the price they want. But they didn’t. The reply timings were also not good. Queries asked after 6pm got reply after 7am next morning. This should not happen with domain seller.

The reason I went for this was that I don’t have a credit card. And if I had I would never associate it with paypal. I have some money in my paypal and I was able to buy a domain by using send money link. The activation was quick. I got the domain running very quickly. But poor support made me go mad. Now I got a lesson and know why people go with Godaddy. Continue reading →

Handwriting

/ Guttu / 4 Comments

All those who are literate and know to write posses something called handwriting. This is made up of some lines and curves which form a symbol called letter. This is important for a language to spread. Although some languages have common letters, the meaning may not turn out to be same.

With the ascent of computers, the handwriting is loosing it’s charm. Whatever we do now is by typing. The old documents are also being turned into soft or digital copies with help of data entry jobs. Especially this is happening with government documents. They are getting digital and easy to find.

I have unique handwriting. At first look you’ll come to know that and you won’t forget it. It is one of it’s kind. It’s messy. I wished someone should have slapped me in my school days for my handwriting so that I can have good handwriting. If not good then at least better. Being an Engineer I many times feel ashamed of my handwriting. But then it’s unique. Continue reading →

Definitely Maybe…

I saw this film yesterday. It was wonderful. Watching of good movies continues. This is one of those movies which I’ll definitely never forget. The last time I saw romantic English movie was “P.S.I Love You“. That was another fantastic movie. But I feel this one is definitely better than P.S.I Love You.

Have you watched this film?? If no then go and watch it. Find it in torrents, DVD’s, VCD’s anywhere and watch it. I’ll just try to put the story in my own words. It may contain spoiler. So stay away if you don’t like to know about the story before watching the movie. Watch the movie as soon as you can.

The story revolves around a guy Will Hayes who wants to be President of U.S.A. It’s not funny but real. In the film of course. He is a father of a sweet little girl named Maya and is about to get divorced. The little girl is really sweet. I loved her. Innocence at it’s best. So the father tells the girl about his story. The story is past life of our Will and his girlfriends. Will asks Maya to guess who is her mother at the end of the story.

She guesses right. But the true love of Will is not the mother of Maya. She is someone else. And is one of the three girlfriends. The story is really good and I never felt bored at any moment. Unlike P.S.I Love You where the movie goes slow at times. The director is successful in bringing out the emotions in the story. Ending was as usual a “Happy Ending”. The last line of Will in the move was just superb.

…because it was the only thing that I had left of you

If you didn’t like the movie much, you’ll surely have satisfaction of not wasting the ninety odd minutes.

Edit: Forgot to rate. I’ll rate it 9/10.
