Sometimes the website host goes down without you noticing it. This may lead to a significant drop in the visitor count. You can get notifications of your site going down right at your desktop. Pingdom desktop notifier alerts you when this happens. Later take some action to get your host working again. It uses the Pingdom uptime monitoring service and is very easy to use. Runs on windows XP, Vista and seven.
It also has several other alert features. Some limited features are available on a free account. Bigger websites can use the paid versions (30 day free trial).

The most efficient way to Download Youtube videos
Jan 20th
Any other way (in terms of system resources and time) of downloading youtube videos cannot be more efficient than just changing a letter of the URL. The following method allows you to generate direct links to download the video in flv format or iPod friendly mp4 format. To download a Youtube video follow the follow the simple instruction just once. The next time you won’t have to look at this.
Instruction:
Change the “y” of “youtube.com” in the youtube URL to “3″. Like this:
Similarly adding “kick” before youtube in the URL does the same thing. (But typing 3 more letters is comparatively less efficient). The pwn youtube method no longer works directly, but still redirects you to a useful place. Using download manager and other plugins are mathematically less efficient too (system resources). Cheers.

It Helps in building bonds with like minded people:
If you are a blogger and frequently comment on other blog posts, at some point in time the author will notice your interest in his/her blog. This helps you to build up your circle of like minded people (bloggers). You get a regular reader and also some good things to read regularly. Also helps to build up traffic in sufficient time. Shoutmeloud explains…
Constant bombarding of small comments never works. Commenting has a proper protocol, it must be something which adds to the content of the post. Or it can be a hearty acknowledgment. Criticisms are desirable if put forward in a polite manner.
It can get you a free ad slot:
AnimHut runs this great offer every month. End of every month the top commentator on the blog is awarded with a free adslot for the month. This month it is giving away two such adslots.
It helps to build backlinks:
Commenting makes an active link on the page you comment. This builds a backlink that is tracked by web crawlers if the link is dofollow type. Nowadays the search engines and ranking websites heavily depend on the backlinks to rate a website. It eventually helps to pump up your blog’s rank.
