Just finished upgrading the site. I am surprised after knowing my site visitors stats by region for 2009, actually I have a pretty decent readership. I feel like I should be spending a little bit more time on here in 2010.
The below screenshot gives you overall visitors to the site (ofcourse by region) in 2009.

The top 7 visiting countries are;
You might have already read so many times at different sources the reason for Google’s slap on majority of the directories.
Today I thought to check some of the popular directories to see how well organised and what level of quality resources they have. As I started browsing one of the directory I felt like it would be more interesting to see a particular niche rather than random directories. So I started with Topseos.com
The website has
Well that was a small intro about the topseos.com in Google. As I browse the Best SEO section, I saw some of the corporate SEO companies listed and were ranked by topseos.com
Well thats a good sign. But as I browsed the directory further I discovered some of the companies don’t even exist now and the listings do not have their office details either. I doubt how come topseos.com didnt care to maintain the overall quality of the directory rather than just ranking (hyping) those companies which are already successful and top corporate companies in the industry?
For instance, there is a listing for the website “Just web traffic” which does not even exist now and theres no contact information either. How come topseos.com management has thought that this kind of listings would help their end users who are looking to hire an SEO consultant?
Is it because topseos.com dont care about the listings that are listed under “basic membership”?
Is topseos.com rankings really a buying guide or just built to provide the corporate companies an additional benefit?
I am sure that topseos.com management must be proud for having some of the gaint companies as directory memebers & who has listed their companies in here. But how come they don’t even bothered about the rest of the listings?
I wonder why Google ignore this topseos.com directory even when it has too much of crap/spam listing(s).
Lastly I pity on those corporate companies who are paying to get listed in this kind of directories where there is no space for quality. I suspect how one would like to see their website within a bunch of spam listings.
Its time for Topseos.com to maintain overall quality rather than just ranking those who are already on top in the industry.
Looks like the google has started updating back links. You can check your website back links from this data centre IP 209.85.129.19
Wish you all get plenty of quality references to your site 
Fingers crossed
I see many webmasters and entreprenuers, using nullified script which are shared in warez forums. These members include hackers, webmasters, small business entreprenuers, script kiddies.
Most of these scripts cost from $30 – $1000.
People who uses the stollen/nullified scripts normally dream to earn $ – $$$$. If you want to earn online then be legal. Because you cannot establish a soaring website using stolen/nullified scripts at least for a long run.
The below are few reason (not limited) why you should not use nullified scripts.
a. People cannot trust your website.
b. Most of these nullified scripts have virus or vulnerable loops which will allow hackers to use your website as their base for phishing activities and similar things.
c. You will not have professional support/updates for the scripts, may be even if you get from warez forums you need to rely on others to share them with you.
d. I am not going to say “If you cannot afford to buy a script then you do not dream to earn”, But I do say “If you cannot afford to buy a script at given price, then do start with what you can afford”. You will always have a choice to earn online using open source scripts. May be you won’t start something similar to the script which you dream to use, but you do earn money which can be used in near future to buy your dream script.
Why you should buy a script?
a. Simple, because you like it and want to use it
b. You will have script provider support for upgrades and can use the providers community
c. You can market your website without your head down.
d. You will have peace of mind.
e. With regular script upgrades, your website will stay more secured and your visitors will build trust in your service.
So next time when you plan to launch a website based on a particular theme, then do your research by considering these below factors in addition to your own set of factors.
1. Are there any open source CMS which can be used to launch the website and provide the services/products?
2. Are there any commercial script which has all the features that match your ideas and enables you to launch your website?
3. Compare both the available open source and commerical scripts
- Cost, Features, Stability, Provider, in comparision to your own objectives.
4. Choose the option which is most reasonable and will help you in acheiving your goals and objectives in long run.
