I would like to show a very interesting statistics which re-affirms my belief that the traffic of this blog depends a lot upon the happenings in Bollywood.
I posted the song Give Me Some Sunshine from the movie 3 Idiots more than a month before the scheduled release of the movie. 19th November to be precise. If you will notice the graph below, the page views leading up to the release date are marginal and pretty constant averaging about 150 views a day.

The success of a blog is usually judged by the number of feed subscribers it has. And a blog is said to be quite successful when it has at least 1000 subscribers. Yesterday, this blog surpassed that amount. So, finally after almost 2 years, I can happily say that my blog has not been a failure!

Google updated the PageRank once again yesterday. Considering the talk about it in blogosphere, these PageRank updates are becoming more frequent.
But there is some good news! With the latest update, this guitar blog has a PageRank of 3 out of 10. Earlier it was at two. SEO is an important aspect of blogging, and I guess this blog is doing well on the SEO side, thanks to the wonderful theme and an excellent All in One SEO plugin which takes care of everything regarding SEO. Hope the PageRank of this Guitar Blog keeps climbing up the ladder.

BlogCamp – An (un)conference of bloggers all over India, is having it’s second flavor in Pune this weekend on 27th June. It is expected to be a big and exciting event for all the bloggers. I believe it would be a great place to network with other bloggers on a more physical level than just over the net.
This is the first time I would be attending the BlogCamp event, so I am pretty excited about it. I have been blogging for over an year now. Through this meet, I hope to know more about other fellow Indian bloggers and interact with them.
This does not mean that only bloggers are allowed to attend the event. If you are interested in blogging / web publishing and want guidance from experts in starting your blog, there can be no better way than to attend this event. It would clear lots of doubts that people have regarding blogging and will inspire you to jump the bandwagon and be a part of the next revolution!
I would recommend you to come to the event to experience the world of blogging. Sign up here for the event. It’s absolutely free!

Finally I shifted AbhinavSonkar.com to her third web host. Actually, it should have been second but a bad experience with web hosting company called Fused Network forced me to look for a third one. Read on for details.
Why I changed my Web Host?
Since the birth of this blog, I had been hosting on FutureQuest. I think it is an excellent web hosting company and would recommend FutureQuest to anyone who is looking for hosting a new website. Though a bit pricey, the best thing about this host is it provides you a dedicated IP address so you are not on a shared server. Yes, starting at $9.95, you get a dedicated IP address for the lifetime of your blog at no extra cost!
Then why did I leave them? Firstly, they have a very high cost to features ratio. They told me it was necessary to maintain high reliability and no doubt, they were very reliable. Only a single downtime in the eight months that I was with them. But the bandwidth limit of 5GB became a hindrance to the blog’s growth and penalties were being levied. In the last month, the projected bandwidth usage was to such a level that I would have had to pay more than monthly hosting charges as over-bandwidth fee! The other plans offered by them were too costly for me.
Secondly, some features were missing in their package. They didn’t provide subdomains with any of their package. No raw logs analyzer. Their control panel reminded me of my dad’s MS-DOS based system. Considering all these factors and to avoid the heavy over-bandwidth fee, I decided to look for a new web host. I signed up with Fused Network.
