Since major part of the traffic for this blog is coming from search engines especially from Google, I had decided to improve the page loading speed even by removing some useful components.
And therefore I removed some components which are used very rarely used or not much useful.
For example, I had removed javascript code of syntax highlighter, google wave samples, project wonderful ads, google friend connect widget, our own javascript based ads, some share buttons, related content code, javascript based News and few other least used things.
Now, I hope the blog will be getting loaded faster. Still some components (e.g LinkWithin) are taking more time to load. But they are being used by many people. So, I am keeping them.
Let me know if you see any error or any other issue after this change. And, let me know if you have any other suggestion to improve the page loading speed.
PingDom.com Tools will be useful for getting details about loading of each component in any particular web page.
And, we can use page speed firefox add-on for developing the webpage to loader faster. page speed can be downloaded from Google's web master tools.

As mentioned in my previous post I have asked the winner "Ella Green" about preference of the prize. i-e I asked whether Ella needs our Time Sheet or custom wordpress site.
We have created a custom wordpress site ella.qualitypointtech.net and keeping it in our sub domain a per Ella's preference.
Ella has decided to keep the site in our sub domain as articles will be getting more visibility in our sub domain comparing to hosting in separate domain.

As specified in my previous posts, we are working hard to release lot of Tools useful for doing SEO and social media marketing.
As part of this effort, today we have released initial version of Page Rank checking script for sorting the pages in a Domain based on Page Rank.
This script will take the domain name as input and will get all the pages of the domain from Google. And, then it will get Google Page rank for all the pages.
The pages will be sorted according to their Google Page Rank and the sorted results will be displayed in descending order.
This script will be very useful for identifying the high page rank pages easily.
Since the script needs to send request to Google for doing this task, the demo will take only 3 Google pages (i-e 30 pages).
If you want full details, you can buy this script just by paying $5 USD (This is Introductory Offer only. I will increase price at any time.)
And, I am planning to host the full version in our server also. In this case you need to buy access code from me by making subscription payment. I will give more details about this plan later.
And, we are planning to improve it further by releasing new features (e.g showing count of pages in each Page Rank, and showing the list of pages in particular PageRank on clicking that Count number)

Recently we have sold our Artspoint.net website. This site uses a cron job for automatically showing latest news about Music in the bookmarking module.
In our hosting server, we use wget command in cron job for doing this thing.
But, the news was not updated once we move the code to the buyer's server.
During our debugging, we came to know that his server shows "permission denied" error message when the cronjob uses wget command.
After doing little search in Google, I came to know that we can use the cURL instead of wget
i-e we need to add below line in cronjob. curl --silent --compressed http://yourpage
So, it seems many web hosting companies are allowing curl while blocking wget command.
If you want to use wget, you can choose the hosting which supports these commands. For example, Host Gator is the appropriate hosting which is flexible as well as secured.
And, you can see Discount Coupon code for Host Gator at the end of my previous blog post.

Few days back I have explained about reason why Google is leading Search Industry.
Google is taking many solid steps continuously to keep its leading position in Search.
Recently Google has tweaked its algorithm further to give more importance for the original and valuable content.
Google official blog says,
we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries.
This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.
Few days back Google had released a Chrome Extension for allowing the users to block the unwanted sites in the Google's search results. You can freely download it from Chrome Web Store.
If you block any website using the Extension the website details will be sent to Google for doing more analysis about those blocked sites for tuning the algorithm further.
Google has said that the details collected from this site blocking extension is NOT used in this new algorithm change. But this algorithmic change addresses 84% of the Most-blocked sites of this Chrome Extension. So, this new algorithmic change will improve the search Quality of Google further.
Bing has partnership with Facebook for integrating Facebook details in Bing's Search results.
Bing Team has announced that Bing will start showing the links liked by your facebook friends. i-e It will show your "Facebook Likes" to your friends in search results.
As I mentioned in my previous posts, the gap between SEO and Social media is getting reduced as major search engines integrating details from various social media sites in their search results to make use of the fast growth of Social media.
Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. It sets new standards for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.
Thunderbolt performance comparison
Thunderbolt is the product came out of the technical collaboration between Intel and Apple.
Apple claims that Thunderbolt is more than 12 times faster than FireWire and 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
Thunderbolt provides two bi-directional channels with data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps.
Thunderbolt also offers native support for Mini DisplayPort and support by way of adapters for DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays. Thunderbolt is also compatible with FireWire and USB devices.
Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. This high-speed data transfer technology features the following:
Dual-channel 10 Gbps per port
Bi-directional
Dual-protocol (PCI Express* and DisplayPort*)
Compatible with existing DisplayPort devices
Daisy-chained devices
Electrical or optical cables
Low latency with highly accurate time synchronization
Uses native protocol software drivers
Power over cable for bus-powered devices
Intel's Thunderbolt controllers interconnect a PC and other devices, transmitting and receiving packetized traffic for both PCIe and DisplayPort protocols. Thunderbolt technology works on data streams in both directions, at the same time, so users get the benefit of full bandwidth in both directions, over a single cable. With the two independent channels, a full 10 Gbps of bandwidth can be provided for the first device, as well as additional downstream devices.
And all Thunderbolt devices share a common connector, allowing users to daisy chain devices one after another with interoperable cables.
Watch the below video of Intel's demo for Thunderbolt (Light peak).

Yesterday's announcement about the partnership between RIL and BP had made lot of changes in stock market today.
Google's real time Search shows that many people are interested in reading/discussing about RIL and BP.
So, we have created a website rilBP.info for showing the latest news about RIL and BP.
And, I am planning to sell this website to the person who is interested to use this site effectively by manually writing some articles about RIL and BP apart from the automated news.
If you are interested to buy this website, you can refer this Auction. Note that @rilBP is the BIN Bonus for buying this site using BIN (Buy It Now) option.
UK oil company BP and India's Reliance Industries have announced a "transformational" strategic oil and gas partnership in India.
The companies will form a 50:50 joint venture for sourcing and marketing energy in India.
The UK firm will pay $7.2bn to get 30% stake in 23 oil and gas blocks owned by Reliance.
"This has huge significance for India's economic development," said Reliance's Mukesh Ambani. According to him, BP's investment would constitute the single largest foreign direct investment in India's history.
Follow @rilBP to know the latest news about this deal.
Fine below the press release of this deal.
Reliance Industries Limited and BP today announced a historic partnership between the two companies. Mr. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, and Mr. Robert Dudley, BP Group Chief Executive, signed the relationship framework and transactional agreements in London.
The partnership across the full value chain comprises BP taking a 30 per cent stake in 23 oil and gas production sharing contracts that Reliance operates in India, including the producing KG D6 block, and the formation of a 50:50 joint venture between the two companies for the sourcing and marketing of gas in India. The joint venture will also endeavour to accelerate the creation of infrastructure for receiving, transporting and marketing of natural gas in India.
The partnership will combine BP’s world-class deepwater exploration and development
capabilities with Reliance’s project management and operations expertise.
Mukesh Ambani said: “We are delighted to partner with BP, one of the largest energy majors and one of the finest deep water exploration companies in the world. This partnership combines the skills of both companies and will be focused on finding more hydrocarbons in the deep water blocks of India and significantly contribute to India’s energy security.”
For BP, Reliance is a natural partner in India, given its strong position in the Indian market.
“This partnership meets BP’s strategy of forming alliances with strong national partners, taking material positions in significant hydrocarbon basins and increasing our exposure to growing energy markets,” said Mr. Carl-Henric Svanberg, Chairman of BP.
BP will pay Reliance Industries Limited an aggregate consideration of US$7.2 billion, and completion adjustments, for the interests to be acquired in the 23 production sharing contracts.
Future performance payments of up to US$1.8 billion could be paid based on exploration success that results in development of commercial discoveries. These payments and combined investment could amount to US$20 billion.
BP’s confidence in India is evident from the fact that the transaction constitutes one of the largest foreign direct investments into India.
The 23 oil and gas blocks together cover approximately 270,000 square kilometres. This will make the partnership India’s largest private sector holder of exploration acreage.
So that the joint venture can capitalise on Reliance’s outstanding project management track record and operations expertise, Reliance will continue to be the operator under the production sharing contracts, whose blocks lie in water depths ranging from 400 to over 3,000 metres. These currently produce about 1.8 billion cubic feet of gas per day (bcf/d), over 30 per cent of India’s total consumption, and over 40 per cent of India’s total production.
“India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. By allying ourselves with Reliance, we will access the most prolific gas basin in India and secure a place in the fast growing Indian gas markets, creating a genuinely distinctive BP position,” said Bob Dudley. “BP looks forward to a long and successful working partnership with Reliance.”
Completion of the transactions is subject to Indian regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. Notes to editors:
• BP has been working with Reliance since December 2008 on the D-17 deepwater block in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin on the east coast of India. BP, with a 50 per cent interest, operates the block and Reliance holds the remaining interest.
• Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is India’s largest private sector company on all major
financial parameters with a turnover of Rs 2,00,400 crore (US$44.6 billion), cash profit of `Rs 27,933 crore (US$6.2 billion), net profit of Rs 16,236 crore (US$3.6 billion) and net worth of Rs 1,37,171 crore (US$30.6 billion) as of March 31, 2010.
• RIL is the first private sector company from India to feature in the Fortune Global 500 list of 'World's Largest Corporations' and ranks 100th amongst the world's Top 200 companies in terms of profits. RIL ranks 68th in the Financial Times FT Global 500 list of the world's largest companies. RIL is rated as the 15th ‘Most Innovative Company' in the World in a survey conducted by the US financial publication - Business Week in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group.

• BP has a strong presence in India in addition to its interest in block D-17. Castrol India
Limited is a market leader in the retail automotive lubricant business, including car engine
oils, premium 4-stroke motorcycle oils and multi-grade diesel engine oils. Castrol India also operates in the industrial and marine lubricants markets. Tata BP Solar, a joint venture between BP Solar and the Tata Group, has been operating in India since 1989. It is a leader in the Indian solar energy market, manufacturing solar cells, solar PV modules and systems.
BP employs around 8,000 people (both direct and indirect staff) in India, with its main
centres of employment in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Calcutta and Chennai. For more details

• According to BP’s Energy Outlook 2030, energy consumption in India has grown by 190% over the past 20 years and is likely to grow by 115% over the next 20 years, a rate of over 4% per annum. Gas is expected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel, with demand growing at a rate of nearly 5% a year between 2010 and 2030. India’s gas consumption was 5.0 bcf/d in 2009 and is estimated to have been 6.1 bcf/d in 2010 (comprising 4.9 bcf/d production plus 1.2 bcf/d LNG imports). Total Indian gas consumption is projected to grow to12.5 bcf/d in 2025, and exceed 15 bcf/d in 2030.
• The aggregate gross profits attributable to BP’s 30 per cent share of the 23 production
sharing contracts to be acquired is Rs. 1336 Crores (c. US$300 Million), as derived from the aggregate EBIT under the production sharing contracts for the financial year ending 31March 2010.
