Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Roundup – 9/29/2008

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Woot woot, we are back to another version of Sweet Monday Roundup. Let me give you the highlight of the week. Well first thing first, this week was the one that Balkhis hit 1000 subscriber mark. Hence why you see the count on the right hand side. If you don’t then it means you are seeing a cached version. So keep refreshing and you will see the count update. My personal life was good but very hectic the past week. Considering I had 3 tests, 2 Quizzes, and 1 paper (800 words). The bad part was that my two tests and 1 quiz and a paper was all due monday. But now the week is over. Weekend was superb. Well not all that superb considering Florida Gators lost in the football game, but It was superb because I went to the oldest city in Florida, St. Augustine. This city have a lot of cool places, but I mainly went for the beach. The waves were definitely over 12 feet and as high as 18 feet (my approximate). Fun fun, I will put up more pictures later on this week. But aside from all this I had fun time reading some of the awesome posts, so check these out:

Wow Another Pagerank Update – Yup there was a PR Update. Nothing major for me as all my sites stayed the same. Balkhis main page PR was the same, but I gained internal PR on a lot of pages. My Proxy Site increased in PR that is all for me. Let me know how it went for you.

What it takes to write an ebook? – Yes, I know all bloggers want to get to a point where they want to release ebook. Well Nabil has put together a short guide for you. He came out with his very own ebook, so he is not just making up stuff. So you are getting the words of a guy who did it all.

Don’t Blog Blindly or Blog by Accident – Bruce brought up a very good point here about making sure everything is ok with your post. Read this post.


Essential tools for Web Developers
– I can’t even say anything about this one. Just check this post out….


4 ways to promote your Blog on Facebook
– My fellow blogger who I met over the web and he resides in my hometown Karachi, Pakistan has written a short guide for you to promote your site on facebook.

This Week at Balkhis

This week at Balkhis was very informative for the readers I suppose because I got very good feedback from the posts that I wrote. If you didn’t read any post from the last week, I strongly recommend you to do so. There wasn’t a single post last week that was not important.

I wrote a series of post that can help you increase your Search Engine Traffic

Most Effective SEO Move you can make for your site

Your Guide for Refining the Semantic Web Markups

Improve your SEO by Organizing your external links

Two Perfect Design Structures for Websites

Then I wrote a short guide on What is RSS?

Also a funny post about Your Guide to Enjoy the Terrible Economy

Once again this week was superb for Balkhis. Hit 1k Subscriber mark, a consistent one. Traffic was really high specifically due to the tutorial posts. All the social networks just loved me. And ofcourse it wouldn’t be possible without you guys.

If you think you should be in the link roundup in next week. Send me an email with the link to your article, and if I like it. It will be up. Or a good way is just be in my top commentators because I check their sites before anyone else.

Thanks for the mention Syed – I am glad you liked it.

It is nice to hear that you managed to come through the pr update unscathed. :) I know I stop by your blog nearly every day and find it filled with valueable posts.

Our main page wasn’t effected, but some of our interior pages got a little boost. Congrats on the feedburner subscriptions! No blog make over? If you ever feel like giving back, check out a non-profit organization I volunteer for called LostOurHome. Org They would love to get their site pimped.
