My article on installing Windows 7 (www.sriraminhell.com/2009/01/windows-7-build-7000-installation-guide.html) just got my site over 10,000 visits and counting over the last 20 hours.

About 40% of the visits were from other reputed sites where I had commented, 40% was from Google and other assorted search engines and 20% from direct site visits. This goes on to prove that commenting(a lot) on other sites/blogs, does pay off..

Cheers!!

    You never know how you can make it big. I also read that Windows 7 is great. You will probably get more hits for months to come. I skipped Vista and may consider Windows 7.
    1. sriraminhell
      Windows 7 looks real good. There was a time, a few months back, when I considered switching to Linux. Even dual booted my system with Ubuntu. But the Windows 7 beta looks great, runs faster than XP, boots up faster and installs all the apps that I use daily. Cheers!!

      I skipped Vista and may consider Windows 7, too. I downloaded the beta and I wait to finish my project (it might take another few weeks) to install it on my Dell 1535 (the problem is I don't know if I'll find W7 drivers for my laptop)


      thanks for this post, now I'm even more decided to give it a try !

    omg - really?

    I can't even imagine having that many hits! Congrats!
    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks so much. A year ago, I averaged 20-30 hits a day. I was delighted if I got about 100 hits a day. Now I average about 300-400 hits a day. Keep blogging and I'm sure you can achieve this as well!!

    1. sriraminhell
      The relevant topics in Wired, some Windows 7 forums, Lifehacker and most importantly, The Pirate Bay.

    how much do you earn from ads??
    1. sriraminhell
      I dont do any ads/paid reviews right now. A few months back when I was doing paid reviews I earned about $70-$100 a month.
  16. naiksuresh
    Your web is amazing...

    I am so frustrated with Vista on laptop, have XP on desktop -can it be switched over, do I gain more functions, I use Works, Spreadsheets, blogging,FTP program, etc.
    My desktop is HP a1310, 64 processor, 3700+, AMD Athone, 1.0 GB memory, 200 GB HD?
    1. sriraminhell
      Since Windows 7 is still in it's beta stage, i wouldn't recommend you using it on your primary machine.
  18. jborsos
    Hey a huge congratulations to you!
    Readers usually come back to useful, "How-to" posts.
    I checked out your blog too, it's brilliant!
    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks Julia!!
  19. Teriss
    Thanks for the tip though, I think I will wait till I get a mac.
    great blog, mate. Teriss

      Cheers Teriss!!

    congratulations
  21. drjay1966
    4,000 were from sites where you've commented? You must keep busy....
    1. sriraminhell
      Not exactly. Torrent sites like ThePirateBay get nearly millions of hits a day. Post a guide to install Windows 7 in the "download Windows 7 torrent" section, it just rains visitors!!
    2. drjay1966
      Oh...thought you meant they were all from bloggers whose blogs you've commented on...still, that's impressive...
  22. PetLvr
    I was thinking of upgrading this 2002 XP desktop .. but, it's too cumbersome a process to backup all my data properly...
    1. sriraminhell
      True. But if rumors are true, Windows 7 will be ready to ship by 2009 end.
  23. ModelElaine
    holy crap! that's a whole lot of commenting! do you have a job?

    LOL. just kidding. Congrats!
    1. sriraminhell
      Hi Elaine, Like I said earlier, placement of comment is more important that the number of blogs/sites that you comment it.

    1. sriraminhell
      I see that you have just started blogging. So just concentrate on posting stuff regularly and frequently for a few months. Think about monetization after atleast 3-4 months. And post quality content. Cheers!

    1. sriraminhell
      Isn't too big a deal as it used to be!
  47. preaxz
    Congratulation. But keep on mind that commenting a lot on other blogs should be followed by a good content on your blog, or your visitor will just leave you just in a sec.

    1. sriraminhell
      Very true..
  48. halyconprime
    Kick butt, you are lucky!
    1. sriraminhell
      I sure am, Halycon

    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks and NP mate!!
  52. exit2013
    10,000 about Windows 7...no problem! Vista, so i heard through the grapevine, sucked. I hope Windows 7 is better because it's time for me to get a new computer.
    1. sriraminhell
      Vista does suck. Maily due to high harware requirements and poor compatibility. Windows 7 is much better and I think it's like the XP, as we know it now.
  53. Vani
    WOW ......really great !!!
    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks Vani!!

    1. sriraminhell
      Hi Kurt. Well, I dont have anything to sell, so no. I just started putting Google ads on my site so hope to see some revenue from there!!

  60. jardois
    What about server load?
    1. sriraminhell
      My blog is a Blogger blog hosted by Google!!
  61. manythings
    I've heard of Blogger blogs disappearing overnight. I wonder if a huge number if hits at once could be one of the reasons.
    1. sriraminhell
      I shouldn't think so. I know of a couple of blogs on Blogger with atleast 5000+ hits a day, daily. Blogger restricts your storage space though..
  62. GoSeeChristy
    That is absolutely wonderful!! Have to look into that....
    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks Christy!!
  63. lillyslife

    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks mate!!
  67. michaelaulia
    A great strategy in commenting on PirateBay I'm too scared to register on those kind of sites though
    1. sriraminhell
      You can register and promote your content there as long as you dont spam them. It's pretty legal as you are not downloading illegal content.

    Hi there!

    Nice site and nice going! With that kind of traffic I'm betting you're gonna make a ton of money in advertising so, why not take some vacations and go for a travel? Destinations, let me make some publicity of my own and invite you to read my blog: vacationandtravelphotos.blogspot.com - then tell me if you liked it...

    Cheers and congratulations again,

    1. sriraminhell
      ThePiratebay, Wired, LifeHacker, Redmondpie.com and some more. My article was also picked up and republished in quite a few blogs as well.
  85. arilestariono
    That's true making comments on high Pr3 and above site/blog can increased your traffic, I increased my backlinks 100% in a week time, but don't over doing it, they will think you are spamming. @sriraminhell congrats good work at keep it up
    1. sriraminhell
      Thanks Ari!!
  86. inbusiness
    Wow - thats a load of visitors - just tried to visit the link myself, but it is not working right now

      Double post
  88. COOLINGSTAR9

    Currently working on my LINUX and UBUNTU, nice! BUt W7 not sure hope better
    1. sriraminhell
      Ubuntu is good but the compatibility problems[Compiz is enabled by default] and low app support makes me shy away from using it as my primary OS.
  93. SteveHanson
    I remember the days of getting 20k visitors in a single day to www.projectswole.com from Digg. Also had a couple of 5-10k days thanks to StumbleUpon. In fact just yesterday a sweet potato recipe that I posted, was stumbled to the tune of about 5k uniques. My biggest problem is that the Digg effect shut my web host down 2 out of every 3 times, even with WP Super Cache maxed out. I no longer get front paged on Digg, and instead I rely on networking (commenting), quality content, and other social communities like Stumble to drive my traffic. Averaging 2.5k per day since the new year.
    1. sriraminhell
      That's actually pretty good. Cheers mate!!
