Google Bomb is a technique to exploit Google’s search algorithm to make a site/blog appear in the top position for a particular keyword. To judge the relevance or theme of a webpage Google considers the keywords that are used to link to that particular page. Now, if I link to my WebWings with the keyword “Nandigram” from my other blogs and also ask my friends to do the same then whenever someone searches for “Nandigram” in Google, WebWings will come at the top. Obviously the number of such links should be higher.
If I do such things, what will happen? People will come to WebWings looking for “Nandigram” and they find nothing. Now, if I try to cover some “Nandigram” stories then it is no more Google Bomb; I have the right content for the topic.
So Google Bomb may not do lots of harm. However, it can push a good site down for a short while. Your rivals may make some low quality sites and place it at the top of SERP for the keyword you are fighting for. I am sure, these kinds of manipulations are temporary, Google algo will surely get the fake site off. So again, build up good content and be fearless.

wwwgooglecom
I am in a confused state of mind. I really cannot understand the purpose behind it. Why Google did this to me? Why?
Let me explain it a bit more! I was supposed to create an email id saikat.myofficename@gmail.com, but by mistake I made it saikatmyofficename@gmail.com. Once I noticed this I tried to create another one with saikat.myofficename but Google did not allow me saying this id already exists. Now I am sure that there is no other Saikat in My Office then how come saikat.myofficename already exists because it is only me who can request for such an id?
Frustrated me opened another account using saikatsengupta.myofficename. I have been suffering a lot till that time, all my official emails are sent to saikat.myofficename and I have to find a kind colleague who forwards the email to the other id. Or, some emails are just lost.
Now, suddenly I accessed the account that I created by mistake and I was surprised to see tons of emails that were sent to saikat.myofficename have been dumped there at saikatmyofficename. What a mess. If I had slightest of idea that Google does not (or, cannot) identify "." (dot) then I would not have opened another email account.

How to become a successful content writer: Part I
Working is the best process to learn. You can learn things fast at your work and that is the reason employers put so much stress on work experience. I have learned the a b c’s of content writing once I started handling the content independently. And now I think, I shall share it with all to:
Extend your writing beyond your domain of work. If you are working dedicatedly for one or more niche specific website(s), then you have to develop content to be published on other sites as well. Now, by other sites I mean social networking sites and social bookmark sites like del.icio.us, digg.com, topix.net etc. You may also like to participate in active forums where people from different sphere come and discuss various things. Now, this participation is a tricky one; beware of being tagged as spammer. I am not saying that you should not promote your site or your product, but you have to do it using correct and useful words. And always try to be relevant!
- Help those who are interested to have a career in this field
- Improve my knowledge bank as well

Bandh is not the right pill to swallow
Where are those brilliant workers who, while opposing the owner of the shoe manufacturing company, did not stop working, but continued making single piece of shoes instead of pair! It worked magically and their demand was satisfied!
Why didn’t they call a Bandh? Bandh, also known as Strike, Hartaal, was a tool for labors to establish their rights. Labors used to stop working unitedly to reach their voice to the owners of the companies and firms. It was a common practice at that time. But a Bandh in today’s scenario is nothing but a curse, especially when they are backed by political parties.
It brings no benefits for us, but:
Bandh supporters try to make the city stop on the scheduled Bandh day! They try to stop trains, flights and road transports as well. Just think, by doing so, they are damaging our image at national and international level! And outer world is developing a misconception about us.
A Bandh can never solve problems, at least not in modern days. Can a political leader cite a single example for a Bandh that has successfully solved a problem in Independent India? Perhaps not! Unfortunately political leaders do not understand this fact and they declare Bandhs to show their power, that’s it. They are least interested to think, how a Bandh ruins economy, our image, our prospect and damages our daily lives. People with emergencies experience horrible things on the Bandh days.
I am not saying the facts for which Bandhs are called are always vague, there may be true reasons indeed, but Bandh is not the solution! On the contrary, social and socio-economic problems can be solved by debates, discussions among experts, involvement of intellectual media.

- Youngsters play cricket
- Office goers get good excuse to manage a leave

It's the time to stand together
Just think if all human beings shout at once, how much noise will it make? Or it will create such a buzz that can be heard from miles away! Why don’t we use such a concept to let our voice heard?
Often we have lots of things to say, we speak it, shout it, but it fails to reach to the desired level. Now bloggers have started getting together to crate such a huge bang that can never be ignored!
30,000 bloggers are needed for the event. They have started to get together. Readers; please follow the link and participate whole heartedly.
The reason I liked this effort is once 30,000 bloggers get united, all of us will get a strong platform to establish our views; and we can raise our voice any time in future on any topic. Email me if more clarification is needed.
