How an Iranian website helped increase visits to my blog by 1,000 folds!!

I started blogging since December 2008 as a small time, naive part time blogger.

At first, i am not into blogging, but rather interested to do something else which brings much fun eg. beer guzzling and of course eye-stalking any sexy women who happened to pass by.

I started blogging because my brother is an active blogger and he get paid for that!!

At first, i received 0 (a big fat zero visit).

But after slowly learning the trade, the tricks and reading other super bloggers' blogs, i started getting maybe 20 - 30 visits per day.

But an incredible thing happened one fine day.

While lazily and sleepily browsing my blog on one Friday morning, 15th October 2010, i saw that there are 8,300++ visitors to my blog.

Hmmm.. This is totally impossible.!!

Heck I thought... something is very wrong with the computer or maybe some computer savy jackass from Bucharest, hijacked the internet superhighway.

The next day, the visits continued to soar spectacularly to over 15,000 visits on Saturday, 16th October 2010 alone.!!!!!



That is almost 15K uniques in ONE day - that is totally impressive, far beyond my wildest dreams.

The next day, Sunday, 17th October 2010, i thought i am the new super blogger in Malaysia and is ready to say Bye Bye to Kenny Sia, Rocky Bru, Beautiful Nara, Tun Dr Mahathir, Xia Xue, Obama, JFK and Xingwei as the new undisputed blogger of the world.!!!

But after 3 days, the traffic was back to normal!!!

After doing a little CSI - Crime Scene Investigation - i found out that the sudden soar was solely contributed by balatarin.com, an Iranian digg-like portal.

The operation language of the portal is Persian.

Iran President, Ahmadinejad welcomed home after controversial speech at UN anti racism conference

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has returned home to what has officially been described as a sensational welcome.

This follows his controversial speech at a UN anti-racism conference in Geneva.
European delegates walked out when he described Israel as a racist state. France called his address a "hate speech", while the US called it "vile".



Some countries had boycotted the conference because the Iranian president was appearing.

But Iranian state media described Mr Ahmadinejad as the superstar of the conference.
According to Iran's official news agency, a crowd gathered at Tehran airport from the early hours, reports the BBC's John Leyne in Tehran.

When Mr Ahmadinejad emerged they created what the agency called a "very sensational scene" to welcome him home.

One pro-government paper said the president had shot the last bullet into the brain of the West.

Government opponents have chosen, or been prevented, from making any open criticism, our correspondent adds, although some papers hinted at their scepticism by describing his speech as "controversial".

Earlier on Monday, Mr Ahmadinejad spoke at the start of the five-day UN conference in Geneva.

Jewish migrants, he said, had been sent from Europe and the US after World War II "in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine".

He continued: "And in fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine."

His comments prompted a walk-out by delegates from at least 30 countries, and a raft of condemnation from Western officials.

Diplomats who remained, however, applauded as Mr Ahmadinejad continued his address.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed dismay at both the boycotts and the speech, saying Mr Ahmadinejad had used it "to accuse, divide and even incite".
