Few months back, one fine morning, one of my blogger clients sent an emergency mail. He had found his adsense account disabled. Now, I really don’t want to blame my client or google for the same. It happened and we got to live with it. I am one of the google admirers. But, the client of mine felt hurt, like most of you who got their adsense account disabled feel hurt.
He asked me for a solution that time. Frankly, even I was little perplexed on the way forward. The issue is that his content is fit for really serious folks and there is a limited way I could help him. Then something happened. I had asked all my clients for a “blog road map for 2010.” I had forwarded some blogging resources found in this site. So, he wrote back again stating that he needed to monetize. I too got out of my mental logjam and forwarded him some ad networks to register. The first one to approve him was Adbrite. Then the second one to approve him was chitika.

I clicked the pink notification on my google email today. Google has tightened the gmail security. Google has made the ‘Always use https’ setting the default behavior in Gmail (the default used to be http).
Here is what Gmail text reads:
Here’s some background: If you sign in to Gmail via a non-secure Internet connection, like a public wireless or non-encrypted network, your Google account may be more vulnerable to hijacking. Non-secure networks make it easier for someone to impersonate you and gain full access to your Google account, including any sensitive data it may contain like bank statements or online log-in credentials. Accordingly, we enable the ‘Always use https’ option in Gmail by default. HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.

Yesterday, when my websites went down and I tried contacting the server support, I encountered the most unhelpful guys on earth. Usually, Josh (one of the support guys) is very prompt, but, yesterday, I went through hell. No, I am not changing them yet, because the problem was not theirs. But, they could have been more understanding. So, I took time to surf around for more servers with “kind” support staff. While searching, I came across this web hosting review site. They are called web hosting geeks. I looked at their alexa stats and saw 15k odd rank. It means a lot of people use them, must be very popular.
The first impression was also good. I normally hate sites that do not display subject matter at home page. The sire had all the answers to the question like, which is the top ten and best in their categories. Next question was if they are rigged stats. So I checked sample pages like the dedicated server and the vps hosting.

Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.
Permission
Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.

With Microsoft officially acknowledging the issues with Vista and the offer to large organisations for a free Windows 7 OS (if on Vista), I feel cheated. As advertised in the newspapers and other sources that Piracy is bad, I dutifully purchased the Windows Vista along with the laptop. Now Microsoft says that Vista was a mistake and hence its introducing Windows 7.
Let me put that in perspective. This is cheating. If piracy is bad, then non-piracy is even worse.

There are millions of websites hanging out in cyberspace with no one visiting them. Its important that one should choose companies like this Web Design company who help clients to get a ROI (Return on Investment). Check out the Website Development processes. The last process is ‘improve.” Why improve?
Improvement is a part of process. You cannot have a perfect website in one go. For example, you have created one of the best ever home page design, but, people mostly check out only your products page. It is then worth focusing on the product page improvement than the home page.

I was going through this satellite wireless broadband company. I found an interesting page titled “Australian Broadband Guarantee Subsidy.” This was interesting as India does not has any such practices. I searched around and found few references. On 26 February 2009, the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, had announced a new provider application round under the Australian Broadband Guarantee. The release has said that currently 16 providers approved to offer the Australian Broadband Guarantee. Registered providers receive a subsidy enabling them to offer fixed wireless or satellite services at prices comparable to metropolitan areas.

Yesterday Google announced the removal of the “beta” label from its new interface for AdWords, the flagship advertising program that enables businesses of all sizes to find customers online.
