   Hey Alok,

   Thanks for mentioning me in the article. And the article is really informative with improved quality 🙂 And one more article request from my side if you haven’t written it yet.. Please write something on Off page SEO and how to recognize the bad links before you disavow them 🙂

      Thank you so much Payal for all your help in maintaining the improved quality of the blogs 🙂

      Though I have written so many posts on back links, but I will certainly come up with a new blog on Off Page SEO soon 🙂

   Thanks Alok.,. This is a very helpful one :). I am glad to know that you found smush it useful. It has helped increase my site speed.

   I do agree on the speed of the site, the better it is, the more traffic it gains. Extremely valid thoughts mentioned here :). I think it is best to keep track of our site speed through tools.pingdom.com which gives an accurate measure of the load time of a site..

      Thank you so much Vinay, I was aware about such plugins but since I never used anyone, I was wondering which one I should use. Thanks for your suggestion and I am using it now.

      I am delighted that you liked the blog 🙂

      Good question Ravish, to be very frank, in general terms both are termed for the same, or in the same manner, but there is a slight difference between the theme and template, especially in case of blogging. Theme is meant for the look and design of your entire blog, while template is being used for changing the look and feel of a single type of page.

      I mean you can use a template for changing the look and feel of the pages of your blog, while you can select some specific theme for changing the design of your blog. Hope I have been able to resolve your query Ravish… 🙂

      Thank you so much Ana, I would suggest you to update your blog to self hosted WordPress one and then you can easily optimize the site loading time. 🙂 Thanks for your visit and comment over here Ana. 🙂

   Though not a wordpress user. I found this article useful and clarifying. I have the same question as Ravish the difference between theme and template and how to optimize pictures in blogger? 🙂

      Hey Datta, Thank you so much for asking these questions, but I guess I don’t have much idea about which things will work in Blogger. Will do a research and do let you know about it. BTW I am sure you must have absolutely no doubt about the differences in theme and template, as I responded to Ravish about it.

      Please do let me know for any further doubt about these 🙂
