Well to start with, it's amazing to see how many people are becoming successful even though they've dropped out of college.

I suppose the main question I have to ask is how you managed to become so successful in a such a competitive blogging field? Most of the search engine results for computer related problems are blogs, making it a very competitive field.

Hey Thilak, I would like to ask you, how is it that you were able to become a popular site in a niche like technology? Do you have any tips for becoming a reputable and large blog in a competitive niche, such as photoshop or video games?

Most people draft content filled with keywords. That's good for seo, but kills the readability. I never really bothered about SEO. I made sure that my posts are easier to read and interpret. I guess, you need to balance between readability and keyword stuffing.

If you are well versed with Photoshop or video games, then you should be able to build reputation without much efforts.

My question is:

How do you go about creating ideas for quality content on your site?

And what have you done to help your site stand out from the competition?
