UGC NET HISTORY has remained a neglected blog.
For some days I had watched that the visits to this site had increased. I had not placed any major posting on this blog. It has remained neglected because I have plans to develop it on a later date. Secondly, I am working on a plan to first attract my students to my blogs and then to use blog as one of tool in teaching. While writing for undergraduate students, I may be writing on such topics which will cover the Indian history as well as World History. As far the Philosophy of History is concerned, I want to write some original essays on this topic on Sumir-history Blog and Review View Analysis blogs. Any how, I found that my UGC blog was receiving regular hits.
I have not checked the reports of sitemeters for some time. When I had placed the sitemeters on the blogs, I was always eager to know who visited my blogs. I spent lot of time on reading the sitemeters reports.
I have learned many things from reading the sitemeters. I learnt that what were the main search phrases of the visitors. That had given me many ideas to write the posts. I also learned about many search Engines. However, lately, I have discontinued watching the reports. The rush to some of my site had increased and I was hard pressed for time. There is a perennial problem of electricity cuts. I do not know how India Today has declared the Punjab as the most progressive state. I have not read the magazine at all because I can not relate it with the suffering which I am experiencing while living in Punjab.
I checked the site meter of the UGC blog. A very fascinating thing was observed. Nearly twenty recent visits to this site was reached through MSN search. Is MSN search becoming popular?
However, when I checked the referral url which took me to msn search engine, I did not find any major change in the research results of the MSN. It is same old type set up. Secondly, I am not able to use its preview section at all. I have found my visitors coming to my blogs from MSN preview.
It is my general observation that most of the users use google search or yahoo search. Yahoo search has tremendously improved in recent months. It seems that it is trying to give competition to googles. Even I have now shifted to yahoo. Just a day back, while getting Acrobat, the yahoo tool bar had been embed on my browser. First I thought of removing it but then I decided to maintain it for the time being.
On the other hand, I am getting infatuated by the search results of beta.previewseek.com. It is really a different material. I have started using its left hand side classification. It is more helpful then to check whole of the list as the search engines dish it out before you. It is definitely a more intelligent device.
The other important thing which I found about visitors to my UGC site is that they are from technical field and more concerned about clearing ugc cisr. I can understand why they are doing it. But their preference only for one particular engine really attracts and fascinate me. The visitors from Hyderabad were all MSN users.
Another visitor amused me more. He visited my site while seeking information for Rahon sword. The searcher, as per the sitemeter, is placed in America. He was also using msn search engine.
Somehow, I am made to conclude that the people who are in research field and students (because they have yet to clear ugc/csir eligibility in order to pursue their higher studies), they prefer MSN search engine. However, I have found google, yahoo and beta.previewseek.com as more effective tools. May they just place their desired term in IE address and the inbuild MSN search option find it for them.
Now, in coming breaks, I will check the reports of civil service blog as the visitors has suddenly increased and crossed 1000 mark.
