A quick round-up of October 2007

October 2007 has really been a good month for me. I could sustain the traffic gained last month. At the beginning of the month, I reached a milestone of 50 posts for this blog and continued to post at an average of one post a day.

My blog has been ranked by Google in their latest update this month. In Alexa traffic rankings, my blog has leapfrogged by millions of spots. I expected it to break the top one million in October. But, it failed by a close margin. There was a small increase in my Technorati rankings too, but not that significant. My blog's current standing is as follows:

Google PageRank: 2/10
Alexa Ranking: 1,062,298
Technorati Ranking: 415,686

I have written a series of posts on the increase in my blog traffic and they received an overwhelming response from the readers. If you have missed them, here is the link:

I have started a new weekly feature called Blogosphere This Week. Be sure to check out every Monday for a wonderful list of links from the blogosphere, compiled just for you.

I also have to admit here that I totally failed in my link exchange promotion. The response is miserable, in spite of the fact I offered three links for the exchange of one link. So, I am closing the link promotion with immediate effect. I will continue to post good, interesting and insightful posts and let the rest take its own course.
