Things Keep Changing

It’s a Sunday so it’s a fun day and therefore we won’t be pulling out any of our content heavy posts today (Though we ourselves don’t really remember when was the last time we did that).

In these six months while we were enjoying our holidays, so many things have changed. We would take our time out and have a look at what has changed since we last met in February.

First things first, John Cow has changed ownership and we have an all new John Cow (whom we don’t even know at this point of time, but we think we would have answer to this question in 10 days time) running the blog. We haven’t had the time to analyze all these developments but what we did figure out in the last few days is that JohnCow.com is more organized and more focused now. There are lots more contests going on at John Cow these days (A new contest starts before the previous one ends), obviously to get in some traffic. We wonder what would the new owner have paid for Johncow.com (it shouldn’t be what Bob asked for i.e. $ 50k. Come on, cows don’t sell for that much )

Wordpress is 2.5.1 now (WP 2.4 never came though). They call it Brecker. Brecker has got somewhat better look and far better administrative panel (everything seems to be more organized) but we really doubt its efficiency when it comes to business. Well people say it is more secure than its previous versions; we are yet to test this though.

Mozilla is 3.0 now and we have our hands full of it at the moment. We would discuss it sometime later.

We are PR1 now but we are way down in Alexa trends. We climbed up a ladder in PR rankings, thanks to all the people who linked back to us. We would like to go a bit higher in the next update, which is tipped to be taking place by the end of this month. As far as Alexa is concerned we have fallen from 84K to about 6.5 million now (That’s pretty bad ). But that is bound to get better as we get all our visitors back all our visitors. We are targeting Alexa ranking of about 1 million at the end of this month and we think that is perfectly achievable.

What changes are proposed at Johnycow.com?

Not many actually, except that we are on the lookout for a new theme for our website and we have a little contest of our own going for this as well. We would be shelling out 500 entrecards to the person who suggests us the best free theme available (we will wait a bit more to get our own patented JohnyCow theme ). We would more than happily accept donations in form of premium themes (especially if it is from the new John Cow).

We would also be going do follow from today onwards and would also be adding some more plugins to get the best for our readers and commentators.

If you have any other suggestions for us, we would happily take them as well. The best suggestion we get through this would also get 500 entrecards as a gift.
