After a month gap, here another monthly blog update edition. Where I talk about the growth of this blog in the past month. Any thing that starts, grows, it is the rule of nature, it’s how the things are and it’s how it is meant to be. OCAAT took birth in March, 2011 and growing ever since, in terms of number of visitors, in terms of number of page views and in terms of blog ranks. During growth , often the growth stops. Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently, again, by the rule of nature, a tree only grows up to a certain limit, a human being grows only up to a limited height. They can’t grow any further. A blog has its limit too. At some point they start to stagnate or decline. It is my job to not let OCAAT stagnate as yet. If you know there are people who are this tall, your natural tendency would be to reach that height yourself and be at par with those tall guys. This thought of competing with tall guys keeps me motivated. I am not at all near their caliber. I am learning and improving my writing skill and knowledge every day. I

Hello and welcome readers. Hope you are having a good weekend. The past week, I probably have written two of my best posts ever. Kathy, Cynthia, Joyce, and Carmen Go Black Friday Shopping and Living Well on Less Than $10,000 a Year: Habits of Skilled Visa Workers. Do visit the two links and leave your comments if you can. These days, my first aim is to grab media attention. To grow my blog organically I would need years to get a decent visitor number. There is one way to achieve this faster, and that is by grabbing constant media attention. I have been successful in the recent past where Consumerist, Business Insider and Huffington post mentioned my work and gave me link backs. I am getting just the curve I was hoping for. Hope it lasts, I need to sustain this momentum and there is no shortcut to writing unique content. I track my stats on Google Analytics, which in its new avatar started providing loads of interesting representation of the data it collects from your visits to my site. Although it doesn’t tell me what dress you are wearing or which adult site you visited a while ago, it does tell me which part
