But currently it do not have support to WordPress All in one seo pack and similar plugins, so to add such custom fields you need to login to your wordpress admin area.

I think you should try windows live writer if you are blogger. Its amazing experience to use it. Simple and awesome.

Microsoft is now planning to enter into every field, from Software to now launched Bing search engine with big bang, and now here is the software for blogger. They are planning to make themselves as the major player in computer industry. so lets see whats next..

So this post in about Hostgator stickers, just today i received my Hostgator stickers from Houston, TX USA. In white envelope. The sticker consists of simple Hostgator logo i.e. dragon eating “H” and HostGator.com written below it.

HostGator.com Laptop sticker

To get these sticker you just have to tweet about why you like HostGator (be sure to use the hashtag “#hgsticker”) and fill out the form at HostGator.com/sticker.php. and wait for stickers. Now i use HostGator so they sent me stickers, n i dont know how they will react to the people who dont use HostGator and still like it.

What ever… i am really impressed by HostGator they are just awesome.. from support to the quality of service and everything.. just awesome.

My Friend Ashish sms’ed me about Pagerank update, his blog got pagerank 1 (It was zero, so this is increment). I just checked my Pagerank and woop, it was also incremented by Google. Its Pagerank 5.This pagerank update is positive for most of the my friends, many of my friends got there pagerank back after some downs.

I can say that this is great Birthday gift for me by Google. My birthday was on 25th May. Thanks Google. But they should have update the pagerank exact on 25th May, hahaha.

Google is updating pagerank very frequently now a days, my be to give best results to its users while searching. This time i was in tension due to change in host, i recently changed my server to Hostgator. and wow my pagerank increased. Many people experience pagerank down after such host changes, but it was good for me.

My internal pages also got high Pageranks, few pages like these got pagerank 4.

• Comment pages in WordPress 2.7 and SEO.
• TheChetan.com shifted their servers to hostgator
• Ubuntu 9.04 launched including for Notebooks
• and many more….

and few pages got pagerank 3-2 etc etc

Even my Twitter profile @cchetanonline got the Pagerank 3 !!

My overall traffic is also increased from few days, i think my tricks about “on page” and “off page” SEO are now working fine and i am getting superb results out of my research and work. Hope so it will continue. . I will keep sharing them on my blog.

so… Hows this Pagerank for you ?? Positive ?? Negative ?? or No change ??

There servers are underpowered. They even cant face the traffic of 1000 Unique visitors per day !! . There database server is also very poor. My error_log file (present under root directory of your wordpress installation) was full with errors of database server. The errors were like “WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query” clearly notifying the power of there database servers.

So i decided to change the host servers, my friend Abhishek is using Hostgator service. I have seen the power of there host servers. They are good, and one of the most important fact was there support system. When my site was down at iWhic, there support system replied to my question after about 24Hrs and my account was restarted after 48Hrs.

Here at Hostgator the support system is really fast.Even i can now directly chat with support people if i have some urgent problem. Currently i shifted all my sites to hostgator and all are working superb with no tension of high CPU usages.Hostgator allows 25% of CPU usages for 90seconds. But as there servers are really high performance i never seen my CPU usages more than a percent.

Currently i am happy with the hostgator, lets see what happens in the future. Hope for the best and ready for the worst

Which host are you using ? are you happy with it ?
