The recent PR update a few days back again takes the same route which the previous updates have done. i.e. Diminishing the value of Google Toolbar PR in SERP's. I even read an article by Matt Cutts which says having a low PR now has a higher chance of Google SERP's which seems quite arguable.

During this update several of the directory sites have lost google TPR and I am specifically using the term Google Toolbar Page Rank bcos now TPR is a lot different from the actual PR.

So whats the Google Gameplan? Why is Google doing this? Does it want to fool SEO firms ? Whats the logic behind this attuitude of Google? 

The answer is very simple:

Giving better results to users who search for a specific keyterm. Better results means better quality sites with the best suitable content for the user.

 Now what has changed? Whats changes has been made to the Google algo? Time to explore !!

 You might be surprised about the traffic surge on 10th , well thats because of a post on the Big Bang Experiment. That's a good tip, ain't it. Thats why its always said that people need to blog about the latest happenings and too in their own words rather than copied content if one wishes to bring in quality traffic.

So before I go into the dept of bringing traffic to this site. Let me tell u a few things - 

1. I am not gonna promote this site spending money, not at all. The only investment I will be making is effort. Not because paid advertisement doesn't help but this is an experiment of how far one can go without any investment other than hosting and domain.

2. Do send in your feedback so that it helps me too in my next steps to get more traffic.

For people who have just started blogging and are confused about how to make money online using a blog, here are few fast tips:

1. PPC Programs - Google Adsense is one of the best publisher programs out there which pays for placing ads on your site. Signup: http://www.adsense.com

There are various sites for these, will come up with a good list later on some other day. 

How do I start ?

Few important things:

Select a topic you are good at. Because if you are going to select a topic which you do not have any idea about then it would not work so positively. So selection of good topic is must.

If your going by a free blog site like blogger.com, take care you create a good subdomain url.

If you are going for a domain site. Select a good domain and a reliable hosting provider.

Now do some research before you start. Like find out what topics you would like to cover in your blog and the depth you will go into each topic. Example if you have selected Health as your niche for your blog, you have to first decide the topics you will cover in health. 

If you have gone for a wordpress blog ( www.wordpress.com) on a main domain site, make sure you divide the topics into categories before you actually start posting posts.

Big Bang Experiment - The Large Hadron Collider -- a $9 billion particle accelerator designed to recreate conditions of the Big Bang that created the physical Universe -- was switched on at 0732 GMT to cheers and applause from experts gathered to witness the event. The event is supported and criticized the world over by people by both ends arguing their point. 

The collider will recreate the conditions of less than a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, when there was a hot "soup" of tiny particles called quarks and gluons, to look at how the universe evolved, said John Harris, U.S. coordinator for ALICE, a huge detector specialized to analyze that question.

Fears have emerged that the collider could produce black holes that could suck up anything around them -- including the whole Earth. Such fears prompted legal actions in the U.S. and Europe to halt the operation of the Large Hadron Collider, alleging safety concerns regarding black holes and other phenomena that could theoretically emerge. Also there are others who argue that it would create major changes in climatic conditions and can after the tempature and rainfall over earth.

Regarding the spiritual side its something which questions the authority of God, as it goes to challenge the power of the nature and might go against basics of life. However, the experimented has started and many are watching the events live  and are glued to the television sets.

It prepares the student very perfectly for the final exams which made the college famous over the time. However, critics point out that this kind of methodology prepares candidates for only a particular exam and the student has very less practical knowhow to take on the world when they leave the college.

Latur will also be soon on the aviation map as Latur will be connected with flights to Mumbai and Hyderabad in next month. Also the train service will be started from the Kurudwadi route which will take Latur a step further of development.

Also its noteworthy to point out that PVR cinemas has Multiplex's only in three cities in Maharastra,  Mumbai, Aurangabad and Latur !
