If you have always dreamt of getting your own domain name without paying anything, then here is your golden chance

You can register free domains from here.

This domain supports URL forwarding, Email forwarding and also traffic management in the free version. However if you are ready to shell out $6.95 per year, then you get your own DNS and the legal ownership of the domain.

But beware any domain having less than 25 visitors in 90 days will be deleted.

Check out www.vikasonline.tk. In the same way you can redirect your newly created domain to your blog or any other URL of your choice.

So hurry up and register the domain name that you have always dreamt of, absolutely free before anyone else does it. Thanks Nischal.

2 Years ago, when Google Trends was introduced, it was proposed to be a tool that tracks the most searched for keywords. It became so popular that they added a new tool a year ago called "Hot Trends" which shows the top searched keys on google right now. Now they have introduced a new tool for websites that gives you a view of how popular that particular website is. It also gives a comparison and ranks the site visits across the world, and also its related websites and searches. There is also many options if you want to zero in on any particular region or any particular time period.

This tool allows you to find out the number of unique visitors that visits the website over a period of time. But this tool supports only domains with some decent traffic. Therefore all blogspot blogs and the free wordpress blogs are ruled out and no data is provided for these blogs. Therefore I checked the tool with some popular news websites. It is amazing. Check the results of yourself.

Yahoo! Buzz has now been opened to all website owners and publishers. Yahoo! Buzz has been in news recently for sending the highest traffic ever, and it is your best bet to get featured on the Yahoo! homepage.

The beta test which was conducted recently was limited to only few popular websites (who could survive extraordinary spikes of traffic. Lots of webmasters and bloggers kept joining the waiting list (including me) who used to get mails, reminding list members that "We will let you know as soon as Yahoo! Buzz is ready for you to join. We can't wait to bring you on board!".

You can now add Buzz buttons to your posts on the site which will allow the readers to vote the stories in different categories available. Voters however, should have a Yahoo! ID to submit and buzz the story. You can also keep track of all your buzzing activity i.e. total number of “First Buzzers”, “Buzz Ups”, “Buzz Downs” and a list of the most recent stories you have buzzed. And if you are really lucky, some story might make it to the Yahoo! homepage which will definitely drive hordes of traffic to your site.

So Start Buzzing now!!!

In Pingdom, you can check your site load time in one click.

Pingdom is actually a popular performance monitoring service for checking the uptime of websites and servers. It also provides a free load time test for web pages. The full page test loads a complete HTML page including all objects present int the websites (i.e.images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash, Widgets and frames/iframes) and displays the load time of all the objects visually with time bars serially. You can also see various other data like the total number of objects present in the website, total load time of the site, and size of the pages including all objects.

Simply enter your url below and check the detailed graph on how each element present in the site, loads on your webpage, from connection to the complete load and it will help you identify any issues which are slowing down your website like scripts or widgets, so that you can fix them.
