Welcome to my blog!
Hi
I started my blog in Jan 2008 – so it is now 54 months old. Not some iconic passage of time! In the beginning there used to be 10-12 readers, now there are about 5k regularly and once in a while it peaks to 15000. This is normally because of some link by yahoo – and in one case it was because of retweeting by Sucheta Dalal and Debashis Basu.
I am writing this because I do not see enough usage of the ‘categories’ that you see to the right of the main post. There are articles like http://www.subramoney.com/2008/02/secret-of-successful-investing-philosophy-statement/ which I am sure many of you have missed. Of course a similar example is there in my book http://www.subramoney.com/book-written-by-me/
Apart from articles like this I have written a few stories in the Investment Fables section. Also in sections like Investment myths I have written articles whose main aim is to be doing some myth busts..so please visit those and read them. I do put one story from 2008 or 2009 in facebook as well as one story on Twitter (pv subramanyam).
I have done a few stories on NPS. One of them is this http://www.subramoney.com/2011/06/nps-is-the-national-pension-scheme-suitable-for-you/.
Most of the articles that I have written have no ‘time’ stamp – something like a ‘Common Finance problems’ which is there on FB today (hey there is a subramoney page on FB too) seem to be common right from 2008 to 2012! Similarly the books to read – there in the category of books and book review is also quite timeless, but has undergone a lot of changes.
Once in a while I put it on Google also….
However I have not sought any help from any SEO – i am connected to a few SEOs on FB…but have never sought help / professional guidance on increasing the popularity. It is not as though I prefer an Indian audience, but I do not use words like ‘gas’ or ‘mortgage’ or some other US centric words. I do get readers from 50 countries – and feel good to realize that people in many geographies see what I write. I guess these could be Indians – NRI as we call them!
Happy browsing, happy reading. Please put all your comments on the blog, not on FB or elsewhere…

Is your blog a Personal Finance blog? I think its time to change the sub heading under subramoney on top.

the take aways from Subra Sir,are worth counting …
Its difficult to be taken for granted by IFAs/Understood and applied insurance for me and loved ones/Started investing methodically/regained faith in life.
P.S. Action/ownership and liability is mine.. Credit to Subra for making me think in so many directions..
Subra Sir.. Thank you. My request to you for an investment workshop is long long pending. please oblige us. You are sure to get some good students ready to carry your legacy forward 🙂

In short span of time, Subramoney has become part of lives. A day doesn’t pass when we don’t discuss Subramoney at home.
My elementary school kids also know about Subra as they hear his name daily.
Great work Subra. Yes, people from different countries read the blog. I learnt about it in USA from a friend living in California.

First of all thanks a lot for writing an awesome blog and sharing straight forward advice (not always 😀 )
One of my daily read source even though I am not from financial sector at all.
Also wanted to share about how I read. I have never opened the blog directly in browser today is one special instance since you asked for a comment on blog itself.
Its added to my RSS reader (google reader). So I read blogs on my phone, tablet, computer or web via some app which gives me what I just need and if I like any article from there itself I can share it on Facebook, twitter or favourite it.
Maybe others do the same.
thanks for the blog again

You missed a post on 3rd April 2012. I kept looking at my RSS feed that day every half an hour, but no post…I knew I was addicted to subramoney.com, but didn’t realise how bad my addiction was until then! Two things I need for a stimulating morning – a new post from Subraji and my regular cuppa Chai!
