My Technorati Where’s The Fire Experiment

Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!

Maki at Dosh Dosh is becoming one of my favorite sources of blogging tips, along with Daniel at Daily Blog Tips and Darren at ProBlogger.

Inspired by Maki’s posts (experiment and results) on using Technorati WTF (Where’s The Fire?) to drive traffic to your blog, I have written my first WTF on (what else?) Sanjaya Malakar. The WTF is based on one of my better Sanjaya posts in which I argue that Sanjaya deserves to win American Idol because he has created more buzz than all the other contestants except Antonella Barba.

If you liked my post, please vote for my Technorati WTF so that it can get to the top of the Sanjaya Malakar page on Technorati. Even ten votes will be enough for this, so every vote counts!

And, yes, go write a WTF yourself!

Desi Blog of the Day - Ultrabrown by Manish

Today’s Desi Blog of the Day is ‘Ultrabrown’ by Manish Vij.

Three reasons why I love Ultrabrown -

- Manish writes about desi popular culture with the depth and range of an insider - such a rare thing.
- He has an uncanny ability to find comedy in unusual situations and his humour is always spot on.
- He uses the coolest post-a-story plugin in his sidebar.

My tip to Manish: All the other Ultrabrown contributors have great blogs of their own, but they aren’t writing many original posts at Ultrabrown. Wouldn’t it be better to either have contributors who blog regularly without cross-posting (like at Sepia Mutiny), or have no contributors at all?

So, why is ‘Ultrabrown’ the Desi Blog of the Day? Have you ever wondered why Gauravonomics is so wannabe-Ultrabrown? :-)

Desi Blog of the Day - Uber Desi

Today’s Desi Blog of the Day is ‘Uber Desi’.

Three reasons why I love ‘Uber Desi’ -

- They discovered Sanjaya Malakar and Shyamali Malakar.
- They have the coolest rotating header images ever.
- Gauravonomics is one of the seven ‘Uber Reads’ on their sidebar. :-)

My tip to Uber Desi: Think of what next after Sanjaya Malakar.

So, why is ‘Uber Desi’ the Desi Blog of the Day? Because they are the only other desi pop culture blog worth reading, apart from ‘Sepia Mutiny’ and ‘UltraBrown’.
