Top blogs

 We have updated the Directory of Best Hindi Blogs, 11th edition. It has been our tradition for the last 11 years to release a new edition of the listing of top Hindi blogs in August-September and update it again in January-February.  The updated listing of best Hindi blogs has Hindi blogs that shine in terms of blogging endeavour, content and regularity. Some blogs have design issues but we have usually ignored them, or given advice to bloggers to improve their designs at least to the extent that the blog is readable and does not look childish. In the present updation, the Directory has lost 10 blogs mainly due to irregular postings, while it has added 6 new blogs. It now has 103 blogs. Best of luck to the new bloggers whose blogs have been included in the Directory now, and of course to those who maintain their presence in the Directory year after year. 

Most websites use a whole array of tactics to boost their SEO. Regardless of what business you're in, you need to make your site visible to search engines and users alike. A standard search engine marketing tactic is building a strong, interconnected network of links between multiple pages and websites. Google makes those kinds of pages more visible in search results. However, keep in mind that Google is also notorious for punishing bad behavior . A common infraction that will land you some negative search engine karma is linking to bad or spammy pages. We will take a closer look at what to do when link building goes wrong, as well as what you can do to get back in Google's good graces . What is negative SEO? First, let's be clear on what we mean by negative karma. As we have already mentioned, SEO heavily relies on link building. Search engines reward websites that follow specific criteria by giving them a higher rank when results are delivered to users. Contrary to that, ...

This post is more on sharing thoughts on importance of periodic back up of one's website or blog beyond what is provided by the web host. I have given links at the bottom for actual back up procedure to be followed for different types of blogs/ websites. All web hosting companies and their plans have the provision to back up your website/ blog. So, why should you bother about backing up the site separately. Why take the trouble? First thing first. Yes, it can be cumbersome to take full back up of your site if it has become quite big and has many types of resources. But that answers the question: Whey you have a blog with just a few posts and you have not invested in special themes and plugins/ customization, you will perhaps not mind much if the blog is lost to hackers or due to a mishap in the host's location. However, when your blog or website is full of resources, its loss will be a huge setback to you. So, the botheration in backing up the blog or website, even i...

The following is the list of top Indian finance, business and economy blogs in 2021.  This listing contains blogs that have been providing value to people interested in this niche over a long time. Unlike earlier lists, this list has blogs from firms also. The list, thus, has blogs ranging from those maintained by a big media house and firms to those maintained by personal bloggers, one even on the blogspot subdomain. We were constrained to NOT include blogs that were not regularly updated or in which the sole concern of the website/ blog owner was business rather than sharing information and advice.  The blogs are arranged alphabetically, taking the most representative part of the blog domain. Broad area(s) covered by the blogs are given in bracket alongside the title of the blog. Here is the list: aishmghrana - AishMGhrana [Companies' legal administration] basunivesh - BasuNivesh [Investment] bemoneyaware - Be Money Aware Blog [Pers finance] capitalmind - capital ...

Paid hosting, you know, is much better than free hosting for blogs and websites. By that logic, if you want lots of videos on your blog or want to have a vblog or vlog outright, you MUST have a self-hosted blog with the facility to host a number of videos. Add to that, the fact that videos are difficult to edit (and professional editing tools and skills cost a ton), come in different formats and not all open on all computers or mobile devices, cannot be viewed when the computer or mobile phone does not support that format, take a great deal of space (and web space is an expensive commodity), can become unusable when new technology and formats are used by browsers (and converting individual videos and reloading them after a few years is a big job). Now juxtapose this with the hosting realities: Between the two major free blogging platforms, Blogger allows you to post videos free on your blog; Wordpress (free) does not allow that. Web hosts charge for space (and videos take...

हिंदी के सर्वश्रेष्ठ ब्लॉग्स (top Hindi blogs) की डायरेक्टरी का 11वां संस्करण आपके सामने है. हिंदी ब्लॉगों के संसार में जो नया पाया और जो चल रहा है, उसपर चर्चा कुछ समय बाद करेंगे. बस इतना कहना है कि इंटरनेट/ वेब पर सोशल नेटवर्किंग और वीडियो शेयरिंग के आधिपत्य के बावजूद जो लोग ब्लॉगिंग जैसे गंभीर और टिकाऊ माध्यम से खुद को अभिव्यक्त कर पा रहे हैं, वे प्रशंशा के पात्र हैं.  संचार या इंटरनेट की टेक्नोलॉजी पर भी हिंदी में ब्लॉग लिखे जा रहे हैं, लेकिन वहां अभिव्यक्ति या ज्ञान का आदान-प्रदान नहीं, व्यवसाय मुख्य उद्देश्य है. हम टेक्नोलॉजी पर ऐसे ब्लॉगों को इस लिस्ट में सम्मिलित नहीं कर पाए जो पूरी तरह से व्यावसायिक हैं, हालाँकि ऐसे ब्लॉग धनार्जन की कसौटी पर इस डायरेक्टरी में सम्मिलित अधिकतर ब्लॉगों से ज़्यादा सफल हैं.  जैसा कि आप जानते होंगे, इस डायरेक्टरी में पूर्णतः व्यावसायिक और फ़र्मों/ कंपनियों द्वारा चलाये जाने वाले ब्लॉग सम्मिलित नहीं किए जाते. ऐसे ब्लॉगरों के ब्लॉगों को भी सम्मिलित कर पाना मुश्किल हो जाता है जो अपना परिचय पूरी त...
