How many of you know that when you sign up for a Gmail account actually you sign up for 2 emails addresses.

Your first email address will be as we know someone@gmail.com, but you’ll be entitled to another address, that is someone@googlemail.com.

You may ask what different does it makes???

Yes, it does make difference

You can leave your gmail.com domain in public virtual world and give your friends and family only the googlemail address. Make sure you print your googlemail address on visiting card.

Now its time to create a Filter in Gmail and filter all the mails that come to googlemail domain, so you’ll never miss a single mail that you received from your friends and family.

Let the spammers mess up with gmail.com address while you enjoy Googlemail address.

This stuff will work as long as spammers don’t start to spam Googlemail domain.

Wish you for a spam free Christmas and New Year :D .

BLOGPECTATIONS 2009

December 15, 2008 · Filed Under Blogs · 11 Comments 

Two years back when I was starting a blog I had no expectations set. I started to write (mainly in my Tamil Blog) just because everyone else is doing so. With time, I learned that I need to put more effort and time to become a successful Blogger.

As of now

  • Feed Count: 110
  • Daily Unique Hit: 800
  • Daily Hit: 1000
  • Ad sense Revenue/Day: $2
  • Alexa Rank: 236,188

Mistakes that I did (Still do) in my blog is, I don’t allocate much time for blog as I’m working full time in another company.

SMART Goals

SMART Goals

Blog readers expect you to write quality articles, at least 4 – 5 per week, but in my case sometimes I won’t get to write even a single article in a week.

Another mistake I’ve done is, keeping the blog in sub-domain. For about one and half year I had my blog in a sub domain. Once I moved the blog to root, traffic started to crash :D

I think Search Engines also taking root more seriously than the sub-domains.

New Year will start in 15 days. I don’t want to make the same mistake that I did in my blog in 2008 and here in this blog I’m setting expectations for 2009.

In the end of 2009, my blog will

  • Feed Count: 1000
  • Daily Unique Hit: 4000
  • Daily Hit: 6000
  • Ad sense Revenue/Day: $10
  • Create a Good Community around the Blog
  • Alexa Rank should be Below 80,000

We’ll again meet with another post in 2009 for review.
