@Shirley, yes… you better be careful with that plugin. Though translation works reasonably well and search visit increases, there are other repercussions.

Well, on second thought, I'll stay far away until I've thoroughly researched it. Thanks for the warning.Shirley's last blog post... Does Your Blog Need A Makeover?

@Shirley, be careful with the global translator as it can seriously slow down your site if there is a lot of content (ie. a few hundred posts). The translation engine/bot will keep pinging your site to convert your post into 20 or 30 languages and it’s a time consuming process. Another issue is that, just incase you decide to remove it and if SEs have actually indexed it, you will get a lot of 40X page not found errors that can fetch you a bad image in Google’s books!

@Lax, you have a very good mix of topics that even you can tap into that niche keywords

@Samrat, thanks buddy

@Raju, no error in the algo. You are in top 5 and yes, posting regularly really help to force the bots to crawl more often for changed contents

@Simon, you didn’t anyway miss much buddy… You are right up there! I however, notice that your blog has become a keyword warzone

@Nihar, you can get there man – especially due to the cricket topics and the India-SL series coming in… I see that you have already laid the foundation post towards that

@Forsaken, your bread-winning job and family first! Only then comes blogging – unless your main job is bloggin, that is

Good luck to you all !

Although my performance is bad, I am still looking to go for positive percentage by the end on the competition. I am not active due to my real life job commitments; the story would have been something else if I was actively promoting my site

What hurts is that I changed themes this week and forgot to insert analytics into it for a few days, so I had 0 visits for 2 days running. Those 2 days I actually had my biggest traffic days yet, but analytics couldn’t track it

I am surprised to see myself still in top 5. May be I should go and have a look at the algorithm used to calculate the %. And yeah, posting frequently will surely increase the SE traffic, that is what I realised over the past 2 weeks. But, is that what I am looking for? I don’t think so.. errr.. I don’t know

Thanks for the update. There are definitely some great numbers there…. I might take advantage of the global translator plugin and see how that helps me… Maybe I can edge my way into the top ten.
