Ok, something happened here and it was secret. It became secret because I forgot to tell you, rather, I did not get time to tell you all about it.
This website was moved to another server. The idea of server move happened to me all of a sudden, and I already had the account ready. Since I had a lot of test stuff, all thoe CMS, Joomla Drupal, Mambo etc etc installed on the old account I left the idea of the normal cPanel to cPanel account move.
I installed wordpress here, on root directory, and moved posts in xml format. So, all the links that worked under dinsan.info/blog will not work any more. The new installation is on dinsan.info and not on the sub folder blog. Because of this, all the links pointed to dinsan.info/blog and most of the image links will not work. It will take a bit longer for me to fix all of them. So, if you find a broken link or image, just excuse it.
I would love to hear from you, if you find any difference in the speed of website, or any areas !!
I am not sure how long it is going to take this new location to get indexed on google and bring all those traffic back. I have already lost the pagerank I had hmm still, hope for the best.
