If you are running a blog which attracts a decent number of pageviews then comment spam is probably one of the things which you have to deal with on a daily basis. Of course we have Akismet, the old and trusted plugin which does a pretty good job in stopping Wordpress comment spam but still there are times when spam bots are able to dodge it and enter your main comments section.
Also, you might want to go through the comments moderated by Akismet to check if it has marked some genuine comments as spam. That’s what I used to do until a few days back when I found that Akismet was blocking around 3 to 4 thousand comments per day. Moreover, the number of spam comments which bypassed Akismet’s filters were increasing everyday. ..Continue Reading
Who doesn’t love awards ? And bloggers are no different. Being recognized for something you love to do is always a great feeling. So if you are a blogger who has been blogging for two months or more and would love to get more recognition then go ahead and nominate yourself at the 2009 Blogger Appreciation Awards organized by Cellphones.org.
You could also nominate your favorite blog and later vote for it once the voting is open. I expect Jeet Blog to garner a few votes at the time.
India’s first WordCamp was held at Adobe’s offices at Noida, near Delhi on 21st and 22nd of this month. It brought in Wordpress lovers from all around the country along with some eminent people which included Matt Mullenweg, WP founder and Om Malik, editor of gigaom.com plus a celebrated blogger.
I was one of the speakers at the event and talked about certain things one should do after installing Wordpress to get the most out of it. The presentation was primarily aimed at the beginners who find themselves at crossroads after installing WP and are not sure where to start.
Here’s the presentation. You are free to download it and keep it for your reference.

There have been multiple reasons behind the dormancy of this blog. Those include my involvement in other projects which primarily relate to starting new sites, affiliate marketing and freelance writing.

But going forward, I am sure I will devote a lot of time writing on and communicating with you through this blog. This blog now has a new focus in terms of content and I am sure you will enjoy the change. ..Continue Reading
It’s over a month now that I haven’t posted anything on this blog. A lot of people have wondered what I have been upto and if I have abandoned this blog. I’ve also received emails and messages from readers and friends expressing concern.
Firstly, I haven’t abandoned this blog. No way. Inspite of being launched just a few months back, this blog has done extremely well so far in terms of traffic, popularity, reader base, subscriber base and in getting links from all over the blogosphere.
