My Website — Namma IAS – a analysis

In Uncategorized on November 20, 2009 at 4:22 am

This is my website

After considerable amount of time here are some analysis based on data collected from google analytics .

1. I get many first time vists ( 85%) . But 14% second time visits is something good . It means people come back :)

2. The number of vistors is low , but yet significant Around 2k visits a month( I know many tech blogs get this traffic in a day ) But mine is not a tech blog .

3. Many people aspiring for IAS and using internet are in bangalore 10 times Delhi . So market for internet solutions is in Bangalore only .. It s abysmally low else where . People searching for “IAS coaching” is highest in Bangalore ( around 500 people a mnth) and next in Delhi followed by Chennai .

4. People of late have started using “namma ias” as search string . Now more than 50% of clicks I get from this search string which means people see me as a entity .Earlier I used to get clicks from mainly “IAS coaching bangalore” string .

5. Most people send good amount of time on my site which shows it is informative .

6. The problem is about bounce ratio .. No idea how to control it .

7. Most people use Firefox than IE to come to my website which means people are in SW industry / than laymen .

8 . The conclusion is that people know me .. People know Namma IAS exists , but people are hesitant to try I guess . A open invitation to all ..

There is no use people discuss “Is it good? Do they do this that in some forums . The best way is to experience the innovative learning at Namma IAS . Attend the classes … drop in on Saturdays/Sundays and experience for yourself — Namma  IAS

 

The work mainly now remains how to make people experience the newness ..:)

 

 

I dont know why “coaching institutes” select people

In Uncategorized on November 6, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Now in Bangalore a new trend has started ..

1. Coaching institutes claiming 100% success in prelims ….

( Eg refer this .) See there is no “great achievement” in clearing prelims if you r failing in Mains .  Now whats the great deal if you clear prelims if the coaching was for you to be a IAS officer?

2.  Why are coaching institutes for ?

Are they UPSC ? No right … The purpose of coaching institutes are to guide people who approach them .. Now some insti .. doing a telephonic interview ..etc and at end charging 30+ is nothing but just a ” show off” and nothing more .

3. Regading coaching institutes claiming “So many questions are from my material” ..

Refer the basic materials 100% questions are from there .

 

For GS the sources are IYB , VajiRam n Ravi mains class Notes and Newspapers

For Pub Ad .

Mohit Bhattacharya , Nicholas Henry , IJPA apart from ur LK and Stephen Robins

So its 100% from them .. So its just fart to claim this % is from my notes his notes etc ..

4. Clear the myth off .. The basic pblm is till  now you used to study 1 book as the syllabus ..

For eg DSC is the maths book ..

For UPSC you need to study based on syllabus … since 1 book does not serve the purpose .  As simple as it .. What r the sources well defined based on ur subject ..
