Today BasuNivesh completed 3 years !!! An initiative started to spread what I learn is now reached to this high. I started this blog exactly three years back on 11th December, 2011.
What are the current statistics of BasuNivesh Blog (As on 11th Dcember, 2014)?
Total Articles published as on date-288+
Monthly Page views-1, 76,710 (Google Analytics)
Email subscribers-824.
Facebook Page likes-682.
Google Page Rank-2 (higher is better and ranks from 1 to 10).
Alexa World Rank-69, 690 (lower is better).
Alexa India Rank-5, 555 (lower is better).
The data seem to be less when you compare with other top sites of India. However, it is always proud to have such a quality readers’ family 🙂
What changes I did in previous years?
Hired a WordPress developer-Having a blog is not enough. It must be SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) friendly and loading must be super fast. So resolve some technical issue, I hired Jane, who runs a famous tech blog called www.probloggingsuccess.com. She created wonderful design and along with that resolved many server issues.
What I learned from readers?
I received some wonderful comments, suggestions, and as usual harsh words (especially from few insurance agents). However, I took all in right spirit and replied or communicated with them well as if I am learning from them 🙂
What is my target for next year?
I want to speed up my learning as much as possible and share with you all. This eventually increases the readers’ base, faith in my business and me. Financial Planning is like an ocean. Each day we learn new things. Hence, I feel as if learner and always eager to learn from whichever corner it comes.
Below are few past year posts, which I liked more in sharing with you all.
- Savings Bank Account minimum balance-You know how bank cheating you?
- Comparison of KVP, NSC, PPF and Bank FDs
- How to teach kids about money?
- Indian perspective of why to buy Life Insurance !!!
- What is Account Payee Cheque and Crossed Cheque?
- Best Tax Saving investment plans and ideas in India
- Flipkart’s The Big Billion Day Offer-Is it really a good deal?
- Univercell UMI (Univercell Monthly Installment) Offer-False claim of 0% interest !!!
- Online Term Insurance in India-Beware before buying !!!
- Mutual Fund Performance-Trailing Return or Rolling Returns?
The list is big and you can find all earlier posts list at “Old Articles” page.
Hope in coming years you all encourage and share your ideas to grow my knowledge as well as yours 🙂

Hi,
Congratulations! to you for your success.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always read your blog and learn many thing from you.
There are very few guy which are unbiased in financial market. I really appreciate your hard work and effort to write blog and read the policy document. I am 26 year old IT professional, one year back I don’t know anything about fiance or even Tax related. Today, I can suggest to my colleague or my parent.
One more general question related to finance planing goal, what is the better option or ADVICE from your side for young investor in respective of real estate. I’m living in Navi Mumbai need to buy flat. So what should we do first set a goal for investment in MFs and growing money first and then buy flat after 10 year or take a home loan.
Really Thank you!
Looking forward to see more articles.
With Regards,
-Anshu
Anshu-That’s great to hear that you learned and started to give advice to others. It is really a great news for me. Do continue reading all about personal finance and let your known be at right track along with you. Regarding buying property, if you are currently in rented house or not own any house then go ahead (that too within your limit). But personally I am not a big fan of having loan and buying property. I am currently staying in rented house and feel comfort with it 🙂 It does not mean that you no need to own. Instead first understand your requirement then we discuss further.
Congratulations Basu
Sachin-Thanks 🙂

Congrats Basu on your achievement so far !!
If you can please share more on how much impact you discover after applying Blogging changes that you have applied? Means ranking, traffic point of view. And for that how much you have invested?
Actually I am thinking daily whether to move wordpress or not? In fact I tried once and failed as my blog has more than 500+ articles covering multiple niche. Your story is really inspiring and I would like to know more on that. I am not aware about the expenditure one have to bear to host a WordPress blog. And also fearing to loose whatever rankings I have now.
Kindly share if you can.
Keep writing more, success will automatically come to you. Thanks !!
