ProGamist vs IndiBlogger: Bloggers with ProGamist

ProGamist is the best!
Hello, my name is Aryan. This is my first post on my new blog. I had to quit blogging 2 years ago for my studies but something motivated me to resume blogging. This:
"The Infamous Review of ProGamist by Anwin Joselyn (IndiBlogger)" Here's the full link: http://www.progamist.com/2011/07/infamous-review-of-progamist-by-anwin.html. This article has been written by an 18-year old Blogger named Subham Singh who is the founder of ProGamist. In this article, Subham focused on the under-rated review of someone called Anwin Joselyn from IndiBlogger. Here's an excerpt from Anwin's review:

"Hi Subham, honestly, my opinion is that the blog does not look that good. Maybe it's the layout or maybe the way the articles are written. Some of the posts look like copy paste from other websites."
Anwin, let me tell you I was a casual surfer and often visited ProGamist before for it's gaming news and for the Battlefield 3 game preview there, but Progamist's recent article made me their fan. ProGamist is neither a copy-paste blog nor Subham Singh is a copy-paster. The funny thing is 2 other bloggers came after that review and criticized ProGamist which was completely meaningless. 


Subham also focused on one of the things worth noting:

"I don't really understand how the IndiRank system works. Even the most deserving blogs are not in top."
and
 "2 years ago, when I joined IndiBlogger, the biggest platform for all Indian bloggers, at that I didn't know that video game bloggers and technology bloggers will not gain anything by adding their blogs in IndiBlogger (You think can they gain anything by writing on chlorine)"
Here's a point. What he said was the truth. Technology and Gaming Bloggers gain nothing from IndiBlogger. Because people are focused on giving their votes to "housewives" blogs and posts like "How I Tied My Shoelace" and in the other hand, the bloggers which are doing researches for their posts, dedicating their time and write quality articles are buried to damnation by these type of reviews as well as their low ranks in IndiBlogger. The IndiRank system, IndiBlogger's ranking system, also raises eyebrows as dairy bloggers are rocketed to top and technology, automobile, gaming, music bloggers etc are ignored.
"ProGamist's alexa rank was 45 million. 2 years later, now, it is in 1 millions. From 20 pageviews per day to 500 pageviews per day and we are still improving every day. From Technorati 600,000 rank to 30,000 and still improving. From Technorati 6000 Gaming rank to Top 200 Gaming Blogs and we are still improving."
In the above quote, Subham described how ProGamist is improving on a day-by-day basis but alas, IndiBlogger doesn't give a damn to these stats and instead pushes them to the ocean of negligence by ranking them low as well as posting un-true reviews. It is not the state of just one blogger but many deserving bloggers. Hence, ProGamist was representing the whole genre of deserving bloggers.


July 24, 2011 will be remembered by bloggers as a day when someone made their voices and cries listen. Subham Singh's article on ProGamist was revolutionary and motivated me but while all that happened, a question rises:

"Can Indian technology and gaming bloggers ever gain anything from Indian blog-networking sites?"
