Accessories for HTC Desire Z Android.

I must tell you it was to choose the right kind of car mount for my latest htc desire Android because of several options. I did a bit of online shopping which took more time than I expected.

My husband kept saying no to my selection of car mount. I think he was right on his reasons due to the windshield size of my car. Finally I selected this (see image) stylish stand for my HTC Desire.

My son patiently configured this highly advanced Android Smartphone. Had he given that task, I would not have done it with ease. I also bought a 32 MB memory card and loaded all my favorite religious discourses.

As of now, I am using the Android only as a MP3 player. I am yet to utilize its high-tech features fully.

Is there any use in engaing pinging services?

I don't know! I am not very sure about the widespread cliam that pinging your blog's feed URL will drive free traffic. I tried it several times. Nothing happened. May be I should tried to monitor the traffic using special tracking methods.

Do you know the most talked about pining service called Pingomatic? It notifies plenty of search engines that the submitted blog is just updated with fresh content. Don't search eventually crawl blogs? What is the necessity in using pinging services?

One view is that search engines do send their bots to blogs periodically but it takes time, After all, they are too busy and the launching of new blogs make the process more delayed. That is why pinging your blog speed up the visit of search engines.

Is it so?

As a problogger, I have subscribed to pingomatic's blog feed. It was last updated on March 2009!

Are you short of just two steps?

The children these days are amazingly resourceful. They come up with practical ideas at the right time. See this two- step stool below.

It was lying in the corner of my office when I opened it today morning with a note stuck to it.

The note said it is a gift from my 12^th class students.

So, they have been watching me struggling to reach the top shelf for mathematics text books. I wished I could buy a couple of two step stools that I recently saw in a medical shop. The idea appealed to me. However, I had no idea where I could buy two step stools.

My students silently surprised me with their thoughtful gift. These two step stools are suitable for libraries and shops where books and goods are stacked on space saving tall shelves. I appreciated the idea of buying wooden stool that adds to the ambience to any room. What I saw in the pharmacy was made of steel.

I was filled with deep felt gratitude.

Google Pagerank update news!

There is a deafening silence regarding Google Pagerank update. Since the last PR update was in April 2010, there have been a lot of speculations about when the next PR update or is it going to happen at all etc.

After reading the several forum threads in different forums, I think Google is not going to sustain with this website metric and ultimately, the PR indicator in Google toolbar will be removed.

In one forum, I read that Google uses as many as 200 different factors to rank pages in the Google search results. Wow! Where am I?

Unfortunately, I have no idea about the 200 SEO factors.

Here is an interesting video regarding those various factors that Google considers:


What do you think? Shall we have a poll on this issue?

For the latest news on insurance rates.

True to their word, they are insurance specialists indeed! When I forwarded the insurance quote to my friend, I thought he will appreciate my kind gesture. I imagined he is a novice in matters of life insurance because he is very young. He married a doctor only a week ago.

His email reply me took me by surprise. It indicated that he is not only well informed but also knows where to buy his life insurance policies.

In his email he quoted several pieces of articles from insurancespecialists.com on life insurance for persons over 50. Those samples spoke highly of the website and it revealed a true concern for elderly people who have not insured their life.

I called him up to express my appreciation and gratitude and did not fail to ask him why he had sent those article samples. He gently reminded me that I turned 50 six months ago and I have no life insurance till date.

World’s best photo chromic sunglass.

No one can resist looking for a second time at anyone wearing Julbo Revolution Ski Goggles. The striking color and a debonair frame are really for the contemporary youths who love to emulate their heroes.

My son is no exception. He simply adores Roger Federer both for his game and for style. My son first bought a Rolex watch that Federer endorsed. Now, he saw the tennis ace wearing dashing goggles in a fashion magazine.

He found out that his hero was shown wearing Julbo Revolution Ski Goggles that even I too am aware of. This sunglass is fitted with polycarbonate zebra lens that changes the color of the glass according to the changing day light.

This not your ordinary photo chromatic sunglass, buddy, that can change only to two colors. Its range of colors is awesome and unbelievable.

There are more unique features about this goggle. Read it at the website hidden in the link above.

The best way to make money from your blog.

Like me, I am sure you too have come across blog posts of various veteran bloggers that selling ad space in your blog is the most productive and easiest ways to make money from your blog.

The process involves first telling the world of advertisers that your blog can host banners and text links ads of advertisers.

Then, of course, you wait for sponsors to contact you. They will do this based on:
* Your blog's Alexa ranking
* Your RSS feed subscribers count
* Your blog's page rank awarded by Google
* Your blogging platform
* Your blog's design (only minimally I hope)

If you look at these parameters that advertisers consider, then, you would realize that you should first place the Alexa rank widget on your blog followed showing the feed subscribers' count.

I have nothing new to say about Google PR.

You should definitely host your blog on a paid domain and on your own paid host.

Implement these and announce that your blog is open to advertisers on a prominent place on your blog and hope for the best.

Unless you try it, you would stay where you are-right?

How I burn calories without suppressing my appetite?

My online friends call me I am a digital rag picker because I sign up for anything that is offered free. I like to read e-books and short reports on health, blogging, IM and beauty.

Recently, I was reading a review of Lipofuze when I was offered a free e-book titled, “101 ways to burn calories”. This is my favorite topic. I have written articles on how to burn calories without the aid of weight loss pills and appetizer suppressants.

I am a firm believer of staying lean but muscular without suppressing the appetite. I would like to eat what I like but at the same, I should be able to burn my calories easily. That should be possible for all work at moms like me.

The reason for my looking at a Lipofuze review was I read that Lipofuze now contains 7-keto DHEA as one of the ingredients. This wonder material is said to be an effective calorie killer.

The review site called Supplement Critic contains useful information and is a lot different from several review sites. I have bookmarked it for future reference.

What stopped me from buying Swiss gold?

It is perplexing! Why have I never heard of the Pamp Suisse gold bars till date? Only when I read an offbeat article in a local magazine, I realized I have never heard of the Swiss gold bar in spite of my penchant for bullion investing.

Well, you can’t brand me as a veteran of bullion trader but I am fairly well known to buy gold coins of America and Australia and India. My usual source for buying gold coins is the United States Gold Bureau.

I spent time in the Internet to educate myself about the famous Swiss gold. Though I must say I am pretty impressed with the respect commanded by the Swiss gold, I think I like the American Gold Eagle coins more than the Pam Suisse gold.

Unlike the Americans and the South Africans, I think the Swiss people are not very enthusiastic about seeing their famous gold bars being purchased by gold lovers of the world.

The life of a blog consultant.

I have been blog consultant since 2007. For the first time, I found glimpses of brilliance in an eager trainee. Though he doesn't know much of the basics of blogging like on site SEO, blog promotional methods and blogging tools, he is already into problogging since 4 years!

While training him the art of blogging, I found myself well informed in the art of blogging though I know I have not implemented all my knowledge in my own blogs. I know it is a serious lacuna on the part of a blogging consultant. However, that did not deter new trainees from hiring me as their blogging consultant.

Yesterday, while interacting with my new trainee, I learnt a couple of new things in the area of monetizing the RSS feed with Google AdSense and backlinks in the blog comment.

There is certainly nothing new about the concept of blogging but one must be aware of emerging change in policies and workings of the search engines.

How can you start your video blog?

Whether you are a new blogger or a veteran, you can't remain oblivious of the fact that text blogging will be completely replaced by video blogging in the next three years.

Therefore, it is essential for all of us to start learning about setting up a video blog.

What equipments you require a video blog?
If you are seriously thinking of launching a top-notch video blog, then you had better buy a portable camcorder.

If it is beyond your limits, use your mobile phone's in-built camera. Most mobile phones offer at least 20 minutes of video recording which is more than sufficient for a post video blog aka Vlog.

If you think your voice is good, then feel free to use it. Else, hire a voice over service provider.

Don’t postpone your decision to learn video blogging anymore.

Can you become famous by buying gold?

I know it sounds silly when you read the title but it turned out to be true to a peasant. He (incidentally he is my relative) is a silent worker and loves the adulation for whatever he does in his own discreet way.

I tried to teach him blogging but he simply did not have a blogger in him. True to his nature, he believes in reaping the fruits of his sowing efforts. He showed unusual brilliance for figures (not human figures buddy).

I asked him if he would be interested in investing in bullion purely for making profit. Noting the gleam in his eyes, I patiently explained to him about how to buy gold, when to buy and where to buy.

With the aid of numerous online graphs showing the gold price movement, I taught the villager whatever has been taught to me by the U.S. Gold Bureau, the authority in precious metals investment.

Then, the attentive student simply vanished from my life for two years only to surface again in the local newspaper that featured him as a successful bullion trader from a remote village.

Hmmm. What have I learnt from my own student?
