Rajesh Jayant Namase The Rising Blogger :Interview

Today I have something special for you. A week ago I was just surfing internet. There I got to this site named "TechLila". The site had quite useful information which I liked very much. So I searched the site's rank on Alexa.



 For those who don't know what Alexa is"It is a website which gives rank to other sites. It is most trusted by bloggers. Who have the anxiety what is the rank of there site."

 So I went to Alexa and searched for the site's rank. I was amazed the this site is much popular then I expected. It had some 6,000 near rank in India and 44,000 rank in whole world. You may think that's not a very good rank. But in this competitive world its a quite good rank. The name of the owner of this blog is Rajesh Jayant Namase. The site is on technology as the name suggests. He like to write on WordPress themes like mystique and genesis. I can tell that blog is gold mine of knowledge if you are looking for theme modifications.   

 So I invited Mr.Rajesh for an interview and he said yes. Today I have the interview of a very talented blogger. Here is the conversation between SmarTech and Mr.Rajesh.

4. Have you ever faced difficulty in your blogging carrier? If yes then share your experience with us.

Ans: The main difficulty which I had faced was with our 1^st web server, where I lost all of my blog data due to my one minor mistake; Due to exams I did not pay their hosting fees, and this resulted in a loss of precious data. Now we’re using HostGator’s server and there is no any issue any more with web hosting. End point, we’re really happy with HostGator.

Message you would like to give to new bloggers:


Never start a blog to earn money only, try to cover unique topics, and always choose topics of your interest. Don’t do anything because someone else likes it, do the things which you really like. Don’t too much focus on success, pursue excellence, and success will follow you.
