Bye Bye Facebook

Ajith Prasad — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:49:09 +0000

It’s been two years since I stopped using Twitter as a medium to actively promote my ideas. At the moment, my twitter usage is restricted to tweeting about any relevant (not all) blog posts alone. And I must say that I never found twitter that interesting and hence didn’t really miss it. My facebook affair [...]

What is VPS Hosting and When to move to VPS?

Ajith Prasad — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:59:06 +0000

Last month this blog moved from shared hosting to VPS hosting by the same service provider (HostGator). It has been a long pending decision for me because the number of mini-blogs and sites that I manage has been increasing every month and the performance of my shared web server has been heading south. Basically, I [...]

Ajith Prasad — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 18:05:29 +0000

It’s been almost three years since I started this blog the motivation behind which still remains pretty much the same i.e. to blog about blogging itself, make money online tips and various Internet marketing topics and thereby making money. In the beginning, like any clueless blogger, I have been busy following those MMO moguls and [...]

Got a whack from Google! Page Rank down to 0

Ajith Prasad — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 09:11:37 +0000

This year doesn’t seem to be very good for me and DollarShower. After facing suspension (which got corrected recently but with huge losses) from some affiliate programs, mini slaps from Google AdWords now this blog’s home page page rank has been reduced to zero from 3. I am not sure when exactly this happened but [...]

DollarShower is a DoFollow blog

Ajith Prasad — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:07:18 +0000

Finally, I decided to make this a DoFollow blog. Well, this is nothing to do with lack of comments or anything like that. As a matter of fact, I already receive a reasonable number of valuable and relevant comments per post. Being somebody who hates to moderate comments I am fine with the current situation. [...]

Updates on blogging

It’s FIFA World Cup and soccer season and most of these nights I stayed awake well past midnight. Though, it’s been sleepless and tiring nights I managed to enjoy some good soccer and also a few activities on the blogging front. The following is what I have been doing and decided over the weekend. I [...]

A look back at 2009 and Blogging Objectives for 2010

Ajith Prasad — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:15:47 +0000

During the month of January last year, I jotted down some exciting blogging objectives for the year 2009 and later provided two updates (March update & Septemer update) on how I was doing with respect to those goals. Instead of providing a point by point update on those online goals (and their revisions), I thought [...]

Moving to Chitika Premium after AdSense ban

Ajith Prasad — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:50:27 +0000

Yesterday, my Google AdSense account got disabled for no apparent fault of mine! After having my AdSense account for more than two years, it was really shocking to see this kind of action from Google. When I dug into the click pattern, I observed that somebody had click-bombed one of my other blogs where AdSense [...]

Bye bye Twitter!

Ajith Prasad — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:02:37 +0000

It has been exactly one year since I started using twitter. I must say that I did sign up with twitter purely on an experimental basis to see if it can result in any significant traffic or conversion. However, the following twitter related numbers during the past one year somehow prompted me to rethink about [...]

DoFollow Blogs List – (soft) launch

Ajith Prasad — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:51:50 +0000

In the past two years or so, I have been accumulating a list of dofollow blogs mainly with the link building interest in mind. However, due to pressure from my regular job and also from blogging, I wasn’t getting enough time to update this document on a regular basis nor use it effectively for commenting. [...]

Even bloggers need rest!

Ajith Prasad — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:04:47 +0000

It is a common perception that bloggers and programmers do not sleep much – to an extent it is true as well, since I have gone through the cycle for quite a few years now. This long weekend, though, I decided to take a much deserved break from my software job, blogging and from the [...]

Blogging Objectives : Update

Ajith Prasad — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:24:17 +0000

Earlier this year I had set some ambitious goals for 2009 and later came down on those expectations big time. As you may know, I am neither a natural blogger nor a fulltime professional blogger. I work in the software industry and most software people are going through the toughest phase in their lives due [...]

DollarShower moved to HostGator!

Ajith Prasad — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:38:32 +0000

I just completed moving my domains (including this blog) to HostGator. This move was imminent because my old hosting provider’s monthly rates were exorbitant for renewals while their server downtime and performance was not up to the mark. The move was a bit time consuming mainly because of the sporadic bandwidth changes with my ISP [...]

We have a new Theme

Ajith Prasad — Sun, 31 May 2009 07:33:14 +0000

Finally, I managed to get a new outfit for D$. I fondly call this new theme DS Premium though it is up to you readers to figure out whether it is good or not. It was never an easy decision to move out my old theme that was somehow close to my heart. However, it [...]

Happy Birthday!

Ajith Prasad — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:30:28 +0000

Today D$ completed one year in the blogosphere! It’s, incidentally, the 200th post as well. If you browse through the archives you will see that though the blog was launched and made public on April 14th last year, I had backdated some content to have some base posts while launching exactly an year ago. It’s [...]
