Alexa Ranking for Colorsofnet on 8th Nov 2009

Posted by on November 9, 2009 12 comments

Checking the rank by Alexa is a practice that most of the bloggers uses to perform on day to day basis, and its a quite good practice. Its you where the people’s interest and motivates you with your work. Today, i checked my yesterday’s rank on Alexa. The rank was a great rank it was under 1,00,00 more specifically 71,095.

If looking at the past, it was on 9th June 2009 when we hit under the 1,00,00 rank, that was a great achievement for us as it was just 10 days since we have started publishing on colorsofnet.com. And similarly now the history is repeating itself this time after 18 days, since we started regular publishing on the blog.

There was a great improvement in the search traffic that we are receiving from the search engines. The screen shot represents the growth of traffic.

One important parameter that judges your page ranking in Alexa is the time a user is spending over your site. Yesterday on an average a user had spent 13 minutes of their time on the site, which means the relevancy of the traffic that you are receiving to your site.

So, rankings are a moral booster that should always be positive. I am currently happy with the content on my site and the knowledge that is contributed to it by its respective authors. Lets discuss your rank, how much you have achieved and what are you planning for it?

My Telephonic Interview- Baker Hughes

Posted by Rainbow on November 8, 2009 2 comments

Hello,to the blogging community. My fellow bloggers, and my dear readers. I was missing from the action since the last week, i got mail from few of my friends querying about my absence. Well, i told them about the reason, and would like to share it with you all also.

Friends, i was preparing for this company Baker Hughes world third largest oil field servicing company of the world. They had a six step screening processing for recruitment, of which i had cleared two the resulted is awaited for the third. Actually, third round was a telephonic interview and i busy was doing preparations for that. I did a lot of study about the company, that one should always do before an interview. Being a blogger research is something we usually do, so i am good at doing that.

And today, November 08, 2009 at 00:01 hours i got a call from the number +1401, a lady with a typical US accent interviewed me. Interview was fine, i will say more than fine. She from her side told me that next week i can expect a mail for the next round.

Here some questions i was asked during the interview:

Tell about your academics, specifically your last degree?
What you have learned in that course (last degree)?
What do you know about the job of a field engineer?
Are you able to relocate?
From the questionnaire’s submitted prior image question, which location will you like to work and why? specifying onshore and offshore.
you are given three work choices:
a) bad location
b) good location
c) too much work/high salary
You have a situation (fixing a broken motor ) where you have choices over your role, what role you will prefer and why:
a) you will tear the motor apart and fix it
b) you will analyze and than act accordingly.

These were the questions that were asked to me, share your questions in the comments below. Their will be no technical question asked in the telephonic interview, its only to judge your communication skills and your confidence.

Best, of luck for those appearing for the interview.

Updates on the Interview results: I got my regret mail early morning today (Nov 10, 2009) at around 6:00 AM IST. It was a shock for me, as i had performed well in the interview. But their would be people who were better than me, and i am mature enough to accept that.

My wishes for those who are awaiting their results, hopefully you get through it.

Unauthorized sites that might have used your adsense

Posted by on November 7, 2009 3 comments

Recently visiting my Adsense account and viewing the list of sites authorized to show my ad codes, i founded one more list of site. This list was the list of sites that are unauthorized and are using your ad codes. Actually, looking into the details over it and viewing these sites, i founded out most of these sites are replica of Google’s homepage, some are redirected to bing.com like cc.bingj.com, some opens at yahoo 404 error page, some open as microsofttranslator.com and lastly www.freeproxy.ws and mail.google.com were not opening.

Now lets look one by one about IP addresses and the truth behind:

Google Homepage Replica’s
On checking the Whois details of the IP’s and domain’s we founded out that they all operates on the same name servers over which Google operates. The question arises why and how are these domain’s reflecting our ad codes when their source is genuine.
Bingj.com, Microsofttranslator.com (Bing Translator), IP’s
Its the same story just like the Google homepage replica. But their is diversification in the domains that land in the end. similarly checking the DNS records for the IP’s we founded that the resulting DNS are same.
Yahoo 404 error pages
IP’s that end up on yahoo 404 error pages are also owned by yahoo as per the DNS record. The last IP (203.104.18.42) in the list reflects that its owned by India Yahoo! Web Services India Pvt Ltd Internet Content Provider.
mail.google.com
I have no idea about this expect that i uses this URL 10-15 times in a day,yet i was unable to open the link. Yes just try these two links http://www.mail.google.com and http://mail.google.com . First i tried the link with www. and i got shocked, Google is down and than after 2-3 tries i removed the www. and tried again, things went fine now. But the question still remains why these sites displayed my ad codes and entered in the authorized list of Adsense.
www.freeproxy.ws
I tried to open this link but the site was down, its a proxy site that i have used a lot of time to access sites during my college days. Their might be a change that someone had opened my site through this proxy. The ads in the frame of proxy site will be treated as ads displayed by the proxy sites itself.

So, have a allowed sites list to protect yourself. You never know when things become nasty for adsense publishers, and prevention is the best practice.

As all these sites are genuine and part of a trusted network, so no need to worry. What i think of these IP’s is that they are used to run various services like gmodules, translate, crawling etc, separate from the Google’s main domain. The data gathered and generated over these IP’s is later on linked to the main domain as a sub-domain, without putting load on the main domain.

Has Indo-Pak cricket lost its charm ?

Posted by Tushar on November 4, 2009 5 comments

Imagine 1990′s, a match between India and Pakistan at Feroz Shah Kotla, every ball being cheered, every run being applauded by the spectators, stadium full of crazy cricket fans shouting “INDIA INDIA”. Now, we dont see anyone so crazy about Indo-Pak cricket. Has it lost its charm ?

Is it because India has become much stronger ?
We rarely see Pakistan winning these days. In 1980s, Pakistan were more dominant. Since 1990s, India have had the upper hand. Pakistan cricket has gone too low after the 2003 world cup. This may be because of many greats retiring from International cricket. But the youngsters have not been able to fill their places.

Now people want to see more close games which Pakistan is not able to deliver. In 1984, the Indian team led by Kapil Dev was bowled out for 125 in Sharjah. In reply, India bowled out Imran Khan led Pakistan team for only 87. The most remembered triumph by Indian team against Pakistan. This type of close matches are missing. People want to watch more of India-Australia and India-South Africa. The rivalry between India and Australia has assumed significance because the two are more or else equal powers. The quality of cricket produced when India play Australia is awesome. Will Australia take Pakistan’s place? We don’t play Pakistan so often these days. So Australia is bound to take Pak’s place.
