Damn the person who introduced me to Twitter. Its my latest addiction. Quite a place for easy to reach information especially if you are following people that have access to knowledge you are seeking for.
If you are looking for information on Turkish internet scene, wordpress themes, design resources and internet income, you need to follow me.
You should follow me on Twitter here.
Tagged: follow me, social, twitterI never thought I would reach it, but I have to say, I worked my ass off to reach it! At first, it was so hard getting the first 20 subscribers. I guess it has something to do with publishing a full feed. Although it pulls me away from my aim of earning 50$/day on this blog, i think it is worth it. However I didn’t do what all the others do!
Yesterday, I talked to Shamus from Shamuswrites.com for a redesign for his blog for about 10-15 minutes. He doesn’t want a total redesign, but a modification of his own blog’s design which is made by him. So I woke today to check my emails. There were about 30! new emails all from the contact page of Turk Hit Box. I was shocked, because since yesterday, I only received about 10. First of all, I would like to say sorry for not replying to some of the emails since there are a high number of request. I will write back to everyone once I get things in order.
So I checked my logs only to see that my design give-away has been published in weblog tools collection and the author is Shamus himself. I didn’t know he was an author in weblog tools collection at the first place, so it was a bit of shock for me. This shows importance of keeping in touch with other bloggers. On the other hand, he just turned me into a dead person for the next couple of months. I will probably dehydrate and die in front of the computer screen while designing a theme :)
Don’t worry about it though! I will do my best each and every time. It doesn’t mean I won’t make a design for you if I didn’t send you an email. It just means that its not your turn yet, so please be patient. I would love it if you guys could mention this in your own blogs which will increase the chances of getting a design before others :)
Blograzzi is the largest Turkish blog directory that you can find. It has recently made a strategical business agreement (Turkish) with Technorati. Turk Hit Box has the number 1 place for the “English category“, but I am planning to get to the front page in a month. That should easily give me some exposure to step up my game among Turkish bloggers. Ranking as 21st, I only need to move 1 place up, and I need you to help me.
In October, I have written about a wordpress hack to make your wordpress insite searches indexable using Search Meter WordPress Plugin. Now its time to put it in test. Cherez.com, one of my everything/nothing entertaining sites in Turkish had the hack for a while, but it was restricted with robots.txt and some wordpress conditional tags. I have now decided to un-restrict it and set it free. Let’s see how much of a traffic boost it will give over time.
You have probably seen a lot of websites going upstream suddenly when they got dugg or stumbleuponed to the frontpage. Well, there is one site that can do the same thing, but only available to Turkish people: Bildirgec.org. My latest theme got posted on the frontpage and I received my highest daily unique visitors to date.
On this post, I am going to show you an unique way of searching high-traffic keywords. As many of you know, many sites use free traffic counter service provided by ExtremeTracking.com. Most of the statistical data of these sites are public and for you analyze.
