Hi Muthu!
Wondering if you have a couple of minutes to advise? I did B.Arch and jumped around in all kinds of fields from Headhuntign to financial consulting. Interaction design has really caught my interest and am really keen on developing it into a career. I’m 30 and would rather not study full time (NID/IIT are the only ones offering this in India!?).
so here’s what i wanted to ask – How do I go about this? I dont know anyone in the tech sector and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hello Webmaster, I noticed that http://muthuonline.com/about-muthu/ is ranking pretty low on Google and has a low Google PageRank. Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you cannot rank high at the top of Google, then you will NOT get the traffic you need. Now usually trying to get to the top of Google costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and very highly optimized targeted marketing campaigns that takes a team of experts months to achieve. However, we can show you how to get to the top of Google with no out of pocket expenses (free traffic), no stupid ninja tricks, no silly mind control techniques, and this will be all white hat with no blackhat software or tactics that could possibly land you on bad terms with Google and put you in the dreaded “Google Sandbox”. We’ll show you how to easily capture all the targeted traffic you need, for free, multiple ways to land fast (not months) first-page rankings in Google and other major search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc), even show you strategies on how to earn daily commissions just try Ranking Top of Google, please check out our 5 minute video.
