How I Got My First 6 USA Visitors on a 16-Year-Old Blogspot Blog (And What I Learned)

I started this blog in 2008. For 16 years, it was just a hobby. Yesterday, for the first time, I saw 6 visitors from the USA on my Google Analytics. And my total views crossed 95 in a single day.

It’s not a big number for many, but for a Blogspot user from Pakistan, it’s a win.

Here is exactly what I did in the last 3 days that changed everything.

1. I Fixed My Biggest Mistake: Raw Affiliate Links

For months I was using links like `http://my.khalidgroup.co/aff.php?aff=86`. It looked like a spam link. No one trusted it. I got 55 clicks and 0 sales.

Then I learned about Link Cloaking.

I created simple pages like `/p/go-hostingwalay.html` and `/p/go-hostinger.html` which redirect to my affiliate link. Same earning, but 100% trust. The next day, I got 2 clicks on my cloaked link from just 4 article views. That’s a 50% CTR.

If you are promoting hosting, never share your raw affiliate link.

2. I Stopped Selling to the Wrong People

I was showing hosting ads on news articles like "Russia Nuclear Warning". A person reading news will never buy hosting. He will click but never buy.

I changed my strategy. Now I only show hosting links inside blogging-related articles like this one. This is where a reader actually WANTS to buy hosting.

3. My Current Hosting Stack for Blogspot (2026)

After 16 years, here is what I use and recommend:

For Beginners on a Budget - Hostinger: 

This is the cheapest and fastest for new bloggers. If you are starting today, start here. 

It also gives you a free domain. I got a discount code for you.

Check Hostinger Discount Price with My Link

For Pakistani Bloggers - HostingWalay.pk: 

I have been with them for 16 years. The reason my Blogspot is still alive is because their support understands local issues. 

If you want support in Urdu, this is it.

Check HostingWalay.pk - Check HostingWalay.pk with My Link

For USA Traffic & Speed - Cloudways: 

Once you start getting USA visitors like my 6 visitors, you need speed. Cloudways is expensive but it’s made for speed. I use it for my speed test article. Check Cloudways with My Link

My yellow box on the homepage (Cloudways vs Hostinger Speed Test) is now sending 4 people daily to my hosting article. That small box changed my CTR from 0% to 50%.

If you are on Blogspot, don't wait for 1000 views. Start with the right funnel.

I will share tomorrow's stats - how many of those 95 views converted into a sale.

How I Got My First 6 USA Visitors on a 16-Year-Old Blogspot Blog (Without Custom Domain)

For 16 years, my blog pakiviewson.blogspot.com only got traffic from Pakistan. My Google Analytics always showed 0 users from USA.

Last week, everything changed.

Proof - My Last 28 Days GA (1 Sep - 28 Sep 2026):

- United States - 6 users

- Pakistan - 4 users

- Hong Kong, Türkiye, Brazil, China - New!

What I Changed in Last 7 Days:

Day 01. I Stopped Writing Only Dollar Rate

For years I was writing "Dollar Rate Today" daily. Google called it Low Value Content. My engagement was good in Pakistan (63%) but 0 in USA.

Day 02. I Wrote ONE Post for USA Audience

I wrote: "Hostinger vs Cloudways 2026 - Which is Best for Bloggers"

This one post got 18 views in 24 hours on Blogger. And my USA traffic increased from 5 to 6 in one day. Blogger stats and GA both now show 38 users - same!

Day 03. I Cleaned Fake Bot Traffic

My old GA showed Singapore - 11 users with 0 second time. Those were Cloudways/Hosting bots. I ignored them. Now my GA is clean and AdSense will love it.

My Lesson for Pakistani Bloggers:

You don't need a custom domain to get Tier 1 traffic. You need one original, detailed comparison post that USA people actually search.

If you want to read that post which got me USA traffic, check my detailed guide here: Hostinger vs Cloudways 2026 - Which is Best for Bloggers

If I can get 6 USA users on a 16-year-old Blogspot blog, you can too.

Next post: I will share how this 6 USA traffic helped me apply for Cloudways Affiliate.

How to Make a Governmental Institute More Effective and Less Corrupt (Part II)

This post is a second part of "How to Make a Governmental Institute More Effective and Less Corrupt"

The evident slogan: "It is politics just as before" is as well limited as the actual cause. To destroy any political impact is no solution within a democratic process.

I feel that there are three, also related, underlying factors.

Inadequate interest of the population and its politicians for public and political benefits to determine a clear purpose to each Ministry, what ever this purpose may be.

The goal can even be: "to place everyone to work" to avoid social anxiety, to make an electoral platform; as long as the goal is completely clear. The key between a democratic system lies in clearly declaring by majority recognized, realistic, measurable, to achieve goals. If the politicians would pay more particular attention to clearer communication and checking of targets for the Government – goals which are recognized by the population – it could have advantages for both politicians and the population.

Inadequate attention of the population and its politicians to the building of a full employment substitute in the private sector.


Social employment leads to inadequate gratitude for public officials and private entrepreneurs who do have a clear aim and who are doing a good job. In the long-standing this leads to need of a society and therefore also of its political actors. If the politicians jointly with the "captains of industry" and the social and educational world really make work of a full employment substitute in the private sector and would take concern of the essential "adjustment", than the stress would reduce on people that have been, for social reasons, wrongly lodged.

Inadequate interest of the political actors on the political benefits to have a clear relation between aim and staff. Understatement of personnel affairs within the government leads to a negligible, executive role for personnel affairs. However, these people continue the machine going; the staff should not only be recognized, but should be scheduled in a correct and consistent style. If you give people no target, nor task, than the bulk of your public officials will disperse themselves a (possibly rootless) destination and (ir)responsibilities. On top of this, if your staff is subjective rewarded, promoted or dismissed of just not cared for enough and the public official lets this happen, than you create harms in a country where a large part of the labour population is a public servant. This has a destructive effect, per incorrectly accommodated official, up to four or five possible voters. So accommodating people wrongly has a harmful result on government, public officials, the people and for the politicians. If the politicians would give more notice to establishing clear objectives per department, to the development of a employment option and accommodating on the base of clear structure states – in such a method that the accommodated people have a clear objective and a clear spot – then politicians could form a positive consequence, not only within the government, but also within their voting public and thus increase politically from improved accommodation.

Accommodation would then be based on plain guideline and is generally acknowledged. The simple understanding of the social, political and economic payback of: undoubtedly defined and communicated targets per Ministry; investing in a different employment in the private sector; a clearer connection between aim and staffing (better accommodation); can stimulate people to change a little, to improve. And the social, political and economic payback of the three changes stated above is sufficient.

We think of: ministerial services that are clearer, quicker and more professionally be performed; ministerial services that are exercised cheaper; officials with a clear job to perform, know where they place and where to go; officials who are not embarrassed of their profession, but are respected; private entrepreneurs who are doing well and are happy to employ people; politicians who are appreciated more by the people; a population with a purchasing power; a population that has self-assurance in their politicians; a well served population. The responsibility of the above stated causes and the producing of the social and political benefits lie not only by the politicians, but also with the public officials who let this take place, as well as with the whole population. Something can be prepared about it!

Debris of AirAsia QZ 8501 Found from Java Sea

Rescue teams yesterday retrieved and tallied a grim stuff of bodies and debris from the plane off the coast of southwestern Borneo. But it was unclear what caused the AirAsia Flight 8501, to plunge into the sea on Sunday, less than an hour after leaving Surabaya for Singapore. The first two bodies from AirAsia Flight 8501 arrived Wednesday at a military airstrip at Surabaya International Airport, where many of the passengers' relatives are gathered.

But Indonesian official concerns did not say so explicitly, their comments on Tuesday suggested that it was unlikely that survivors would be found.

How to Make a Governmental Institute More Effective and Less Corrupt

Most top positions in a government institute are taken by friends of one or another political head, some of them even without the expertise of taking this position. This then can create in the minds of the population revolutionary ideas validated by the concept that all people working for the Government are corrupt (we are facing a giant sit-out against corruption in front of Parliament House by Pakistan Tehrik e Insaaf or PTI & Pakistan Awami Tehrik or PAT)

Although I agree that this might be the case in quite some circumstances, I cannot, but look further in the hidden reasons of this and – what is more significant – how to probably change this and make sure the top government positions are held by experienced people. So i did some research on this issue and I hope interesting conclusions and a possible solution.

I made a decision to use a metaphor of an imagined country which is a democratic state and has a National Assembly with a Governmental Cabinet. In principal this cabinet is owned by the National Assembly of the State.

Every four years the National Assembly votes for a General Staff (Council of Ministers), which gets this cabinet on loan for four years.  An agreement has been attained on the number of Ministries in the cabinet and in which route they set to move. The cabinet exists of different Ministries. The ministers themselves figure out their individual targets, supplies and staff within the budgetary policies. Some regulations have been organized (Workers Law and related polices) to man the cabinet in a uniform way. However, this cabinet has capacity problems – insufficient staff, knowledge, authority – to carry this out successfully.  Also a large portion of the active population does not have adequately interesting options to earn money on land – or at least thinks that there is no future within the private sector – and therefore wants to employee with the State in order to be assured of an income.

From a good thing to consider, we state that the majority of the public officials and politicians is of good will. So, what should a Minister or Secretary with good motives do in this sort of a case?

He/She takes a large number of people on board, without essentially care for the mission of these people. In some nations this is called "accommodate". Therefore, you get the people who have the right positions to exercise their duties, on the one hand, and people who wrongly where accommodated, who do not have a clear position, on the other hand. There are also people that have been accommodated by a previous Minister. This brings for some department to block, what might annoy people who are in the right position and who do have a objective to accomplish.  In the long-term this brings to De-motivation, disappointment from those that have been incorrectly accommodated.

As a result, at some departments disorder arises, where:

-possibly everybody meddles with everything;
-sometimes everyone is carrying out his/her own thing;
-either nobody is doing anything at all.

Various international and national "steersmen ashore" advise that a number of individuals should go over the top, that clear tasks should be distributed, that people should be properly trained themselves individual tool kits to the Ministers that will take care of all problems. The risk here is that the different Ministries will follow their own guidelines even more and that the staff will be treated irrelevant and in a non-uniform manner.

The unfortunate part is that the above situation is created with good intentions to provide people work and livelihood. But the impact is pernicious, each for the "accommodated" and the other officials. Taking into account a global average of roughly four persons per household, one can also argue that the wrong accommodation of one person can have a potential adverse effect in the long-term on many voters of the Assembly.

The impact of a incorrect accommodation is therefore also for the politician, who backed the accommodation, possibly negative. Nobody has an attention in the success of such a state, neither the politicians, nor the government authorities, nor the people.

The situation as defined over does not happen without a purpose. Some actual causes – interests must can be found that lead to this situation. These underlying causes, when recognised and dealt with can launch the improvement.  What are these underlying causes? What causes, once recognised and dealt with, can trigger a real change in the direction of the ideal picture?

This post is not finished yet I will discuss some more interesting factors in my next post

A Beginners Manual to do Forex

With many Pakistani individuals over the last few decades, having money just seated on the bank earning next to practically nothing due to the very low interest charges, that the banks now provide, especially folks residing Islamabad & Karachi, some have taken up trading on the forex markets. When only the home of the big traders and governments, people can now get engaged themselves for as little as PKR 5,000 with some agents. Now that amount is not a thing that is going to make you wealthy, but you need to start low and work your way up. Making funds from trading the Forex trading markets can be as challenging as you make it.

When you do some analysis into investing in the Forex markets you have most likely come across several pictures that show the currency pair going up and down, and then it is likely covered in lines, and beneath is a number of charts. Well, unless you realize it, all of them and how they work, switch them off. Do not load your trading screen up with all types just to consider and make it look good. The best advice an expert trader will give a beginner is to arrange the display to show one currency pair that is popular, shown in candlestick function, with no other thing on the trading screen.

This indicates that you are set up to simply watch the way the currency pair plays its part, and this will give you a sense for the way the markets move. If you are a newbie, then you should not be searching to be doing any scalping (very short-run trades), so your schedule should not be less than 1 hour, but ideally 4.

You may have to devote a period of time looking at the market, but as soon as you have joined a trade, walk away and do anything different. You have possibly set a stop loss as a cost, or you may time your trades, and bail out after a set time. It is suggested you use a set value though.

Some folks choose to set a trade and keep it for a day before they make a decision to take steps on it, and if you actually want to go for the long term then you would be looking at being in the marketplace for weeks. If you do that and get it perfect, then it can really pay back big time.

No matter what schedule you choose to start with though, stay with it, if you keep modifying it, then you will not get the experience for any of them. When you see a professional investor on TV, you will not see them tossing through numerous screens and constantly changing options.
