Wow. Its been a while since the last time I go for a jog and get myself sweat. I recently feel alot of backpain and also on the neck. I thought lying on the bed will make me feel better but instead, it got worse. So just now I went for a jog and I felt really refreshing and more energetic! I think I want to take a few minutes daily to get my self sweat so that I can be more productive

Speaking of productivity, do you know that you can effectively decrease your website traffic(if you got a very good traffic).  Ireally think that this is beneficial for you if you already have a good steady traffic to your site, If You are just starting out, this is also an eyeopener :). So here you go, the three simple tips on decreasing your traffic with extensive effort!:-

1. just read your blog and do not update until  the end of the month. If you are updating it, do not put heavy content. A few sentences would be nice :).  Putting a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated is lame. So don’t put it okay !
2. just put to your blog and do not offer anything. If you have anything that can give value to your readers, scrap it! Your readers loves value. SO you need to get rid of it in order to flush away your traffic.
3. Another thing is Opt in. I have said his again and again before. Putting an Opt in is totally unnecessary if you want to decrease your website traffic.  I saw many bloggers put special offers and anything similar in their blog. This is again, giving value to your customers.. they will come again and again to see the update. So bottom line is, its a bad idea…

I hope you enjoyed the tips and please stay healthy. Do not be like me.. I am a very bad example.. but at least I want to improve my self by going for a jog in the park. What about you?

Not all browsers append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or OPERA is not one of them.

Jimmy is aware that the title tag is totally different from a Meta tag. However, it’s worth considering it in relation to them.

All major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.

Any text that are in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will magically appear in the title bar of browsers when they view the mystical web page.
