How to get PR 7 for your Blog or Site

I have been in this website thing since many years..and blogging since two years or so.. My blog PRpagerank.jpg was 5 , it got reduced to 4, i donna why .. anyway.. i am gonna try out what yugatech says ..below are his tips ! 

Steps to increase your site ranking to PR7 : 

1. Get links from old and highly trusted domains.
2. Get site-wide links from a huge site with 150,000+ pages (a large forum perhaps).
3. Get a few deep links from relevant articles or content.
4. No massive and low-level directory submissions.
5. Avoid link exchanges, esp. from new domains.

Link Popularity Using popuri

Its one of the very good link popularity checking sites ..popuri_link_popularity.jpg

A tool to check at-a-glance the link popularity of any site based on its ranking (Google PageRank, Alexa Rank, Technorati etc.), social bookmarks (del.icio.us, etc), subscribers (Bloglines, etc) and more!

Remember that a domain with the "www." prefix will show different results than the same domain without it. You should try both.

Search all Torrents Sites at one Place

TorrentPond as the name goes is a pond for all torrent sites. You can search torrents from severaltorrent_pond.gif sites such as TorrentSpy,ShareTV,BT Junkie,FullDls,MegaNova,MiniNova,BushTorrents,IsoHunt,The Pirate Bay,Demonoid,myBittorrent,Torrent Box,BiteNova,New Torrents & Torrent Valley.

Its really a good place . Its better than going to each site and searching for the torrents..( but it dosen't work properly with sites which have compulsory registration and login, like demonoid.)

Happy Torrrenting !

Railway Enquiry using SMS

Really saying i am fed up of people asking PNR status to others when they are not at their pc desk.indian_railways.gif Even though Railway has made such a nice service of Railway enquiry through sms, people hardly use it.even the so called " tech geeks" rarely use..then whats the use of technology when its not being used for making the work easier ! So atleast from now on use Railway SMS Enquiry service to know your PNR status. I know its difficult to remember all the codes for train list, seat availability, etc.. but atleast PNR status is simple !  : PNR <PNR NO> and send it to 676747

Or if you cannot remember carry a printout of the codes for it !! lol..nono..u dont need to..

here,do this to make your work easier !!

Here are the numbers to which you can send and get the info..

- 7886,676747,7070,8888   ( i like 676747 , as time of message reply back is faster..)

For example : You use 676747

To get the list of codes  … send . sms TRAIN to 676747 

- Checking your PNR status

sms PNR <your PNR number> to 676747
eg: PNR 1234567891    or just send your PNRNo to 676747

- Checking for Trains running between two stations

sms TL < starting city > < ending city > to 676747
eg: TL Hubli Bangalore or use stations codes   eg: TL UBL SBC

- Checking for Ticket Availablity

sms TA <train number > <starting city> <ending city> <journey date > to 676747
eg. TA 6590 hubli bangalore 07May

Networks which Support 676747 :

8888 is busy.. many a times i have never got any reply from it..as its used for many other purposes, maybe it takes longer time to respond to this railway query !

So from now on use your mobile ONLY when you are not at your pc desk..

Happy railway smsing !
