Indian guys with western fake names, please stop sending me emails about how you can promote my site/services. Stop using gmail id’s to send such emails.
If you actually know how to do promotion, you should start using it for your own website which which help you get clients and you would not have to waste sending spam emails.
Please think about it. And if you cannot do it for your own business, do let me know and maybe I could assist you in making your website and promoting it.

Wow,
I can’t believe am finally in Google+. Its nothing great but good to be inside it. If anyone needs an invite just post a comment. I think they have made the signup open too.
While many people might feel that Google Plus is just a copy of Facebook, I have one question? Heard about MySpace that came before Facebook? Anyways, Google+ is going to reach or might have already cross 10 million user mark based on prediction of many analysts, but it still feels lonely with not much people around.
For those of you have more time to read, read the “Has google already won the war against facebook?” where Pace Lattin has given his opinion on how he thinks Google+ will become bigger than Facebook.
I am excited to inform that Google ToolBar Page Rank has finally been updated for a majority of my own websites and of my clients. The Update might have taken place 28th June 2011 early in the morning of Indian time.
Unforutnately the PR of some websites has dropped by 1.
And the PR of internal pages has also been updated of my main websites which have better quality backlinks. I would love to know if your website PR has also been updated. Do comment with your website address.
Previously many of us might have felt that no-follow links are of no value in Google. You should read this article http://www.sitepronews.com/2011/07/08/seo-a-link-is-a-link/ which explains this in more detail.
This is really cool.
Some Quick tips you need to remember, when you start a freelancing business or company:
And finally from 1st march, if you wish to accept money from your clients using PayPal, then make sure you tell your clients not to pay you more than $500 at a time. And if you ever are going to be paid under $50 by a client, make sure you receive atleast enough payments same week to reach more than $120 so while withdrawing to bank, there are no charges)
While reading news online, came across this brilliant tool called Google PowerMeter. Have not used it yet but as mentioned on Google’s Blog, it is also supported in India by Reliance Energy which feels good.
If this works properly, we specially in Mumbai where Reliance Energy is the power supplier, people like us can track our power consumption and test different things to reduce it.

There are tonnes of great articles written by frustrated Web Designers. Most clients have never been able to understand the amount of work that has to be repeated when the finalized designs converted to HTML pages has to be edited again. Minor changes for them requires modification of the pages as well as CSS.
I always tried arguing with clients on the same and have ended up either doing the changes for free or charging them lot lower than the amount of work I had to do. While charging they often give example of their own business and how they accommodate changes to their own clients.
Giving examples to them does not work, at least did not work for me in last 5 years. With some clients I never had to argue with such things. They knew the implication of changes and argued on valid points. But some ask for more explanation beyond a point which is not possible so if you are bad in negotiations, you end up working on their terms.
If freelancers designers & developers need to grow like in any other professional, we seriously need to stop doing the above right now. I have liked the ideas of few fellow designers worldwide who had faced the same issue.

Hi,
I had planned to first re-design my blog and only then add new post. But this post is about something important so could not wait.
The title of this post is
. What exactly it means… I have no clue…Only thing I know there is a SEO content exciting enough to give it a shot…
If you reverse the words.. its is “Webmaster Stimulus”.
This is a SEO content, which would end soon and seems to have started from a long time. Basically every few months, whoever gets a top 3 ranking for this keyword in Google wins and gets money. Unfortunately I was not aware of it, and even If I was, would not had able to participate due to lack of time.
Now I would have to end my post. Next post would come after this site is re-designed.
