Abhinav Bindra Wins GOLD makes India proud

Indian shooting star 25 years old Abhinav Bindra wins India’s first ever individual gold at the Olympic Games by winning the men’s 10m air rifle event.

Bindra finished with 700.5 points. Zhu, the 2004 Gold Medalist from Athens Olympics, had 699.7 points. Hakkinen got the bronze with 699.4 points. He scored 596 (fourth) in the qualifying round and out-scored all other shooters in the finals with a round of 104.5.

Congrats to Abhinav Bindra for taking Indian shooting sports to another new level. This is India’s first gold medal since 1980.

It is India’s first Individual Gold Medal ever in Olympics. It is a great day for all of us.

July 2008 Statistics

This is my first post ever showing statistics. I have never done this before.

I have never looked at Google analytics stats seriously. I am really surprised to see that my Referring Sites traffic is really low. If anybody knows how to increase Referral traffic, do let me know by leaving a comment.

I have also seen lot of blog readers have good stumbleupon, digg traffic. Guys how do i increase on that front? Let me know.

Try Performancing Ads instead of Direct Private Advertising

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

PerformancingAds
I am a regular visitor of Problogger and I found out a new Advertising Network called Performancing Ads. Many bloggers have started enrolling in that network. I also joined there. You know what! I got two 125X125 ad spots booked and are right now served on the right sidebar :) . The third spot is waiting to be booked!!!. It took just 1 or 2 days to get an advertiser using this network.

Something about Performancing Ads. It is ad marketplace. You can join as a publisher or advertiser based on your need. I joined as a publisher. For publishers, you create a region and put the ad slots on your blog and and advertisers go through the marketplace and purchase those spots. The price ads should be setup by you. The price you set is for per week (for ex: I have setup 8$/week). You earn 60% of the price and 40% goes to PerformanceAds. If you’re a “good publisher” by their metrics, then you can claim as high as 90% of the ad price. Ads are booked by the week and payments are transferred through PayPal.
