Podworks now happens to be a hyper active alter ego of Ravisblog.com

If you are looking for the older podworks.in, well, it is no longer here.

I am open for link exchanges.

Its been raining heavily all over south India for the past 2 weeks. And still I cant sleep without an AC. Outside its coooool, must be 21 or 22 degrees, and my ac is at 22 too, and the compresser isnt running most of the time. I could just settle for the fan, but Im still wanting the AC for some reason.

It must be psychological, or a need for dry air. AC sucks out all the moisture when the compressor is running. I drink a lot of water when Im in an air conditioned room, and I dont feel that need when Im outside biking in the Sun. People are supposed to be drinking more water when they are out in the Sun, but I happen to be drinking more when Im inside an AC room.

It would he hard to believe for most people. But thats what Im doing. This is because when the AC sucks out all the humidity from the air, the air that we brethe out has some moisture, is also being sucked out, and when we brethe in dry air, the water content of the body reduces naturally, and we become thirsty, and we drink water. Thats the logic.

On this rainy night, I find that the AC is taking no strain in sucking the heat inside and passing it out to the water cooled sun shade outside. Still, it is a waste of power.

Other People’s Blogs

Companies are often surprised by the amount of time and effort it can take to produce one good blog. Blogging software makes the writing and publishing process easier, but responding to reader comments, finding time to write regularly, and creating links and multimedia components can take some time. For this reason, many companies place all their effort on creating their own blogs, sometimes to such an extent that they ignore other blogs in cyberspace. This is truly a mistake, since in many cases, other blogs can have as much impact on your marketing as your own online efforts!

What Are Other Bloggers Saying About Your Company?

One of the first steps you will want to take when marketing using other blogs is to find out what others bloggers and online writers are saying about your company and your blog. Other people’s and companies’ comments are read by readers and potential customers, too.

Many blogging software packages allow you to search for links to your blog or company website in other people’s blogs. You can also run a goggle check on your blog name, company name, and URL addresses to see what others are saying about you. Regularly checking online to see what is being said can help you get a sense of how your efforts are working. Remember: blogging is a community effort, with links in other blogs and comments in other blogs affecting how readers see you. You need to keep track of how you are doing to understand how your online presence is affecting your business.

Responding to Other Blogs

Once you begin reading comments about your company and online presence, you may well wish to respond to the comments others have made. Before you do so, do take some first:

?Read and reread the comments you wish to respond to and make sure that you understand them. Make sure that you understand the tone as well as the words – you will look and feel silly if you respond angrily to a post that turns out to have been written in a teasing or tongue-in-cheek manner.

?Calm down. In cases where comments are negative, especially, it is easy with blog software to respond at once. It is better to calm down first and allow yourself the time to respond in a clam manner.

?Stay clear and on topic. When you respond to a posting or blog, make sure that you are clear and that you stay on topic in order to prevent an out of control name-calling exchange. Clearly state what you are referring to, what comments you have about it, and what actions (if any) you are going to take or want to see taken.

?Decide how to respond. You can respond to a person directly, through their blog commentary, or through your own blog. If you respond to a blogger or commentary directly, be aware that other readers who have seen comments about your company may not read your comments. Plus, your email or response may eventually end up online, anyway, possibly edited or cut from context. Responding via someone else’s blog gives you more control, but still has you remain on someone else’s space. Commenting on your own blog gives you the most control and ensures that readers will come to your blog to read your comments. Of course, you can also choose to not respond at all.

I dont know how google’s spiders missed webaholics.co.in. How come? Thsi domain has been around for the past 3 years, and has got a blog for about 4 months. And google couldnt index it untill I submitted it. WordPress is supposed to be a very effective seo blog software. It takes care of all seo services by itself, and has got all sorts of pinging services built in.

Even a week after it was submitted to seach engines (thanks to google who have already indexed about 10 pages), has not indexed the site fully.

Can anyone help me get it indexed better so that I can drive more traffic to the site and make more money from it? Since there is no traffic as of now, I dont see any point in placing any ads on the site at all.
