Top 3 Social bookmarking sites for indians
1 . BOOKMARKS.ONEINDIA.IN - 9 out of 10
2 . HUMSURFER - 7 out of 10
3 . INDIANBYTES - 6 out of 10
Indianpad is also good but i hate the fact there are restrictions in the number of posts you submit . i really hate that very much and have stopped using it . But as far as the traffic is concerned , it does bring you lots .
So never ever forget to post your blogs in "oneindia" . And as far as the traffic is concerned , i just submit 2 to 3 posts over there and get about 30-40 visits per day .You may also bring those posts to the top by asking your friends to vote on your story .That would definitely increase the unique IPs to your blog .

Blogging for Dollars
I have been blogging for about a year and have learnt several things about blogging –thanks to the vast resources on blogging in the web.So i just thought of giving you some tips on blogging for money .It was great to receive the first cheque via the web , from widgetbucks . Hope you too find success in blogging along with me .
To earn via blogging there are following networks ready for you to accept and give you their client’s advertisements :
ADSENSE :
This is the best program according to me – it works perfectly unless you dont try to cheat them like fraud clicks etc ,. .never ever try to cheat google .its a very bad idea .
CHITIKA :
I havent tried this but heard of several positive reviews in the digitalpoint forums and in the blogcatalog .
CLICKSOR :
I have personally tried this myself and its superb . It gives you a very high CPM ,almost comparable to adsense .But the only problem is that the sites have to meet certain high-requirements like pageviews etc ,. Otherwise its great .Try it out guys .
AFFILIATES :
There are so many affiliates in the web which you could google and find them .One affiliate i would suggest is AMAZON .
ADBRITE AND BIDVERTISER :
These are well-known networks in the web .but the problem is that the CPC is very very low that you would start hating it right from the first day.people always keep this as a secondary earnings to the major adsense account .
Adwords is very helpful to bloggers
Hope all of you might have across the google adwords program and some of you might be even trying it out .Besides the marketing , its very helpful for bloggers to do keyword research . I have been doing keyword research for one of my photoblogs in wordpress and the results were 200% fruitful . Instead of targeting the competitive keywords which your competitors have already got a kilos of those words in their sites , think in a different perspective .Why not aim at the less-competitve ones and get the top spot in google for those words .
This is what i did and i succeeded in less than 45 days .I got top positions for 4 keywords which had about 100 searches everyday .The result - i could easily get 400 visitors everyday without any hercules effort .Cool , isnt it ?
So stop aiming at those competitive keywords primarily and head straight to the following url ,
Do a complete research on the keywords of your niche and its better to have a database of those keywords near you , so that the next time you make any posts , you see to it that you use them in your blog posts , whereever possible .
Bloggers complaining about google not indexing their blogs
Iam an active member in digitalpoint forums and have recently come across many posts regarding “google not indexing the blogs” .I myself have come through this .yeah , i started a photoblog recently and it was very hard for me to get it indexed . I kept on submitting my posts to social bookmarking but was of no use .
Just when i came to conclusion that google is not going to index it anymore , i finally found it indexed one day .It was really great to see my blog indexed .I primarily aim for the search engine traffic and so had become frustrated at one point of time . But now its all fine .
There were even rumours that Google has stopped indexing the blogspots and free wordpress blogs … LoL ….. I did not believe it and kept on submitting my posts to social sites and the result was fruiful .
So there is no such thing about google not indexing the blogs – just keep on posting and use the social sites .Do what you love :)
