Most articles on the Rambling Thoughts Blog and Road Less Travelled Blog are researched, written and published by Neerav Bhatt along with irregular contributions from guest writers. My aim is to take the Road Less Travelled and often write about niche topics others ignore. I live in Australia so articles will tend to have an Australian emphasis however half the people who read my blogs are from overseas so there’s obviously plenty of interesting stuff for non-Aussies to read.

Product/Service Reviews & Beta Testing
I have been asked to review or do private testing of products/services for these companies:
Why You Should Let Me Review Your Technology/Consumer Electronics Products
Respected Reviews: My reviews are respected by the Australian technology/gadget community and often get linked to by Overclockers Australia, Whirlpool forum and Digital TV Australia forum
Case Study: Statistics show that my review of the Nokia 6300 Mobile Phone has been viewed more than 44,674 times for an average viewing time of 2 minutes 18 seconds.
Website readers consistently tell me that they love my technology/consumer electronics product reviews because the reviews are so detailed, i'm completely honest about a products pros & cons, I reply to people's questions about the product & update the review with new information over time as I use the product.

Business & Blogging History
After doing outsourced web development/SEO/web standards work for several years I decided to put my skills and broad general knowledge to good use by writing blog articles at the Rambling Thoughts Blog and making money from my blogs through Google Adsense and other internet advertising/sponsorship income streams.
Over time this income grew to the point where it earnt me enough to largely quit doing contract work and become a day job by itself. If you’re interested in the topic read my article How I Earn Lots Of Money By Blogging.
In 2007 I launched a 2nd blog called the Road Less Travelled which concentrates on Travel Tales, Reviews and Photos from places around the world off the beaten track.
Besides blogging I also provide consulting services in the areas of Internet Marketing, SEO, Website Accessibility/Usability and more
