Are my posts better than Microsofts
I’m a happy user of 103bees so far, it has some advantages and disadvantages but that’s a topic for a separate post.
Using 103bees I found out that some of my posts are ranked pretty awesome by Google. For example if you search for how to setup an office infrastructure my blog will be the first that shows up. Second search result is from Microsoft website.
I must admit that Wordpress rocks! Way to go!

May has the highest peak in the year graph.

Top 10 keywords that bring traffic
What’s your top 10 searched keywords? Ever since I introduced 103bees to my blog I follow with the latest and top searched keywords for my blog.
So here’s my top 10 searched keyword for the last month:
6. ambank nexg
7. jusupov
9. edit .bashrc
From my experience it’s been good to have custom titles in your blog, I managed to tweak my theme and display blog post title before the blog name. So if you noticed my posts title have the post title first and then only the blog name.
This brought me more traffic to my blog and put me in higher position in the search results.
Upgrade your wordpress, don’t get hacked!
I don’t want to be repetitive but it’s very important for you to upgrade to wordpress 2.2. You must make it a rule of thumb to upgrade to a newer version of wordpress whenever the new version is out. Especially when the updates covers security holes in the application.
Actually, it’s applicable to any softwares out there, it’s always safe to update your software as often as possible. This will enable you to stay secure and up to date with the latest features of the software.
Recently, Hong Kiat was hacked, he blogs about it on his blog here. His blog was hacked because he didn’t upgrade his wordpress to a newer version. Because of this he lost 2-3 days posts. Luckily he did back up his blog so he did not lose much content.
