Interesting
Its been a while since i made a post and its been a while since i actively took part in any discussion recently.
largely this has been due to my recent bad health and also due to other things offline.
recently i started a new non webmaster related forum for a community in south india.
i had done a Press Release + i have only 2 incoming links to it – one here and one from webmasters cavern.
Apart from these 2 i have really not done any other promotion of any sort for it – some emails to ppl i know and to group(s) i am part of.
The Press release seems to have done a huge boost in terms of SE crawls and visits.
Google has been and is a constant visitor to the site.
Msn doesnt seems to be far behind and yahoo is also constantly seen on the site.
at this moment, a search for the keyword (which ironically is the site name + the community name) ranks #2 in google and yahoo and #1 in msn.
At this moment, even though i would love to see more active members in the forum (it just 3 weeks old), i am not complaining as SE’s brings in good number of visitors and its only a matter of time before, i think, i start to a good number of new registrations.
PR seems to have done the trick so far 
probably i will take out another Press release later on to see whats happening.
if u have a similar experience do share it here plz.
Upgraded
Finally today upgraded wordpress 1.5.2 to 2.0.1
the upgrade was very easy. nothing complex.
only one step to upgrade the db and its all done.
i was wondering if i had to re do the templates and stuff. but luckily everything seems to be ok so far.
if u spot something wrong, shoot me an email plz. 
back back
got my broadband and here i am back online
i sold webstatservice.com today.
i received an email from the host today saying the site is using excessive resource and they wanted me to move to a dedicated hosting plan. but i cant afford that now so i sold the site for $150.
i bought the name for $12 + script was already bought for another site. so profit for me.
also, check out www.smsslang.com – a nice new site which i bought before leaving.
i am hoping to spend some time on it later this week or next week.
thats all for now. later
