    Hi SKR!
    Good and informative post.!
    And I have one suggestion for your Blog , You have not set a SEO Permalink for your blog.
    If you change it to /%postname%/ it would be more SEO friendly.
    Just a suggestion though!
    :)

      Hi Anoop

      Thanks for the suggestion. Your idea o using /%postname%/ in permalink is good but as the site grows it will lead to duplication of url and confusions. I have found these kind issue in many blogs who used the same kind of permalink.

      Using month and year is good for getting recognized by sites like Google News and other agencies. Also I get more than 60% of visitors from Google.

      Once again thanks for the feedback.
