I started the
3G4G website 7 years back and in the next few years realised that maintaining website is very time consuming job. As a result I started the
blog on the 3G4G website. Its been nearly 4 years since I started blogging. Initially I
blogged on the 3G4G website and then moved to
blogger. Over the time, the blog has become ever so popular and I regularly keep getting between 40,000 and 50,000 page views per month. In the next few months, I will touch the 1.5 million page views mark.
All this sounds great but I have not seen enough feedback and/or comments from you the readers. Some months back I added the feedback box at the bottom of the posts that you can use to provide me a quick feedback indicating if you found this post useful or not useful and if you would like more like these but I hardly get more than 1 or 2 feedbacks every post. The only one where I got some decent feedback was on the Dilbert post
here. In the blog stats that was added last year by blogger, I can see that some of the posts even get good amount of views but not enough feedback. For example
LTE-A UE categories has over 7000 views but just 3 very useful feedback. Another one on
comparison of HSPA+ and LTE has over 4000 views since last May but the feedback is still not enough.
Over the last few years, a lot of my posts are being copied by others in entirety. Some of these blogs give credit to me but do not link my blog. Some of them do not even give me credit or link to the blog. In fact to stop some of these things, I started putting 'via 3g4g.blogspot.com' in the images and then I realised that some of these blogs, remove this and put the pictures up. Take for instance
this post from
TelecomDE, this blog post is copied from my
blog post here. I created the picture from a presentation and that was from Huawei, so I added the Huawei logo in the picture. As you can see the Huawei picture is there but the 'via 3g4g.blogspot.com' has been removed. There are many instances of such things and I would like to thank some of my blog readers who point me out these things.
With my schedule being already extremely busy, I sometimes spend early mornings or late night, creating new blog posts with the things that are happening or about to happen in the wireless/telecom world. I think my blog covers some unique topics and I always add some useful pictures and images as it is said that '
A picture is worth a thousand words'. I would like to receive feedback from you, dear reader, on if you find this blog useful, how do you find it useful, what things you like most, what things you like least, how do you propose to change it for better.
I do get lots of personal mails from people saying how useful the blog and the website have been for them for Job hunting, etc. So If you found the
Blog or the
Website useful and you are a
Linkedin user, can you please recommend the 3G4G website on
Linkedin for me.
I will be deciding in the next few weeks, If I continue blogging and your feedback certainly will help. In the meantime, you can always follow me on
Twitter where I am always on lookout for the latest in the field of wireless telecoms.
