How to be a successful blogger

February 29, 2008

blog This is a question which almost every budding blogger tries to find out. I am not saying that I am a very success blogger, but I have learned a lot from my experience.

Google Pagerank Update - Confirmed Feb 2008

February 29, 2008

I can confirm that Google has updated the pagerank on the Google Toolbar. Again this time, sites selling links and paid reviews are penalized. I see Johnchow.Com again falling from PR4 to PR3. In the previous update, he was penalized from PR6 to PR4. I have not got much information about other sites right now. I will keep this post updated. I have some of my blogs PR going up and some going down. I think the update was a slow process this time. The fluctuation in PR was there for the last one week as I had done in my earlier post. I have do not have any changes on the main page of this blog, but I have got some sub pages PR growth. Will this PR update effect top bloggers. Problogger has PR6 when I checked last and its the same.

Maldivian Air Taxi

February 27, 2008

Maldivian Air Taxi or what we commonly call is MAT which is a sea-plane service company in the Maldives. I am a frequent flyer of this as I need to travel to different resorts in Maldives for my official work. There are two Sea-plane service providers in the Maldives and the second one being the Trans Maldivian Airways or commonly called TMA. Both are excellent service providers and they connect the Male’ International Airport and the remote islands which are very far from the Airport. I had posted an article on the information on Maldivian Air Taxi an year back, but now the quality of the services has changed, the operations and the facilities had improved tremendously with the increasing flow of Tourists in the Maldives.

One & Only Kanuhura, is an One & Only Resort in the Maldives. One & Only hotels has two resorts in Maldives, Reethirah and Kanuhura. I just returned from Kanuhura after an official trip. Kanuhura is one of the top resorts in Maldives and one of favourites. This was the first resort I visited in Maldives which was 4 years back. The occupancy rate was almost 100% and I have noticed that after tsunami almost all the resorts in Maldives have this rate of occupancy. The charges are bit high but worth it.
