I read some time back in an article that states that It will be good to have a mentor. Mentor will guide you better in the next things you would like to do in this world. I am just wondering what are the criteria to select a mentor for me. I am looking out for a person to mend me in the positive direction.

Alternatively I feel it will be good to be a metor too for some one who may put us in a direction of them.

In both the case, I learn something new which I don’t know before. But the real push or the anxiety to learn or try new things should come from both the mentor and mentee to drive in the positive direction.

Looking forward to select a mentor.

I am against putting ads on my blog to make some revenue out of it. It is not that I don’t want to make money from my blog, but my feeling is that there will not be much clicks on to the ad displayed in the blog.
Some of the reason for making a wild guess are :

• The rss technology has changed the way people read blogs today. The much sofisticated RSS Readers provide related feeds and makes people away from the actual web pages where the blogs are hosted.
• Less than 1% of your blog readers gives a comment back for which they visit your website.
• I never use to click on  or even view the ads placed on the google search unless I am doing a competitor comparison of where we stand against him and what ads he place in google.
• The ads on Blog has changed from the goolge random ad model to the fixed ads for which the money is paid upfront on a monthly pixel basis.
• Unless you are too much focused on a very particular subject, putting ads are waste.

I was thinking about some serious idea for blogging. One of the ideas I landed on was writing about the discount sales across the city.

I was seeing a lot of sale on different products like Dresses, Furniture, Home Appliance and other electronics happening on the town across the year. It will be a good idea to write on it and put a related add too on the blog. I was first thinking about writing about Chennai, the city where I live and then to make it available across the country.

On a related note : I found a Discount India which is listing down products from different vendors.
