Hey Shankar,
Thanks for the link buddy! Lots of great articles from KTT and MUO! Curious, are you blogging full-time or do you work/study also?

@Aseem: Hey there, I don’t blog full time. I’m just juggling both blogging and studying!
Kinda tough these days, but still managing somehow.
After all, blogging helps me learn a lot of new things, makes me better and gives me bucks

hi thanks for the link back.
i am very happy that killer tech tips gained page rank of 6 in a very short span of time and my wishes for its success.

Hey Shankar, thanks for the mention….
If I remember correctly the subscriber count increased from 1500 to todays count (1975) in a couple of days….Any idea what was behind that??? Did the Social sites helped or vistitors from your guest blogging and MakeUseOf?

Shankar Ganesh
@Joel: Yep, that’s StumbleUpon magic. MakeUseOf too brings in regular RSS readers, but StumbleUpon traffic makes the count bump up overnight.
