My Malayalam Blogging Experience.
I know I don’t have enough experience in Malayalam blogging to actually get in to writing a review about it. These are my random thoughts on writing in Malayalam or few notes on what I am doing there.
(1) I am still trying to learn to type in good Manglish that Blogger will understand, in order to transliterate it in to Malayalam words.
(2) I do not know how Google will index blogs in Mayalam or any language other than English. I am still at zero on SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) in Indic languages including Malayalam.
(3) 99% of Malayalam blogs are on blogger.com ( or blogspot ) and there are only very few people who actually try it with Wordpress.com or wordpress.org
(4) There is a good community of Malayalam bloggers.
(5) There is lot of serious blogging happening. They are discussing politics,history,international issues,poetry,culture.. and lot of serious topics.
(6) Malayalam blogging community is trying everything possible to get more people in to Malayalam blogging.
(7) Most of the Malayalam blogs are 100% in Malayalam.
(8) I am yet to see someone who is trying to make money through blogging.
(9) I need to personally ask Malayalam bloggers if they are satisfied with what they get on Blogger.com
(10) I will try to bring them to Wordpress.
