Adsense and Adwords strategy

Can you believe it ? I signed up for Google Adsense and ran my ad in the campaign for just five minutes and received 10,895 impressions.

Google Adwords is an online program and also a method of making money from Google Ads on our site.

It allows publisher sites to display ads related to the website content. Every click is assigned a value. Accordingly, the revenue generated is earned by the website owner. AdSense lets website owners make money easily and fast without even selling anything.

On the other hand, Google Adsense allows advertisers to signup and reach their customers in the fastest and smoothest way possible. The various tools like Keyword Advisor, Ad Placement, Ads Diagnostic Tool, Conversion Tracking help us manage our campaigns easily.

Introducing video ads

Introducing the newest member of the AdSense ad family--click-to-play video ads. Video ads will compete in the same auction as text and image ads for placement on your site.Video ads open your site up to a whole new type of advertising that is engaging and highly relevant for your users.

The biggest advantage is that these ads are relevant and donot distract the reader from reading the site content. Infact they provide additional links and information. The ads are available in all formats and colors to fit the best look and placement on a web page. Google technology grasps the distinctions, so you get more targeted ads by filtering them from meta descriptions, page title and content.

Just apply for it if you have a site getting more than half a million hits a day. Google takes care of the rest.

SMTP Vs POP



SMTP and POP are the two most widely used mailing protocols over the Internet.

SMTP is a simple text based protocol where one or more recipients are specified and message is transferred. SMTP server can be tested easily through a telnet. Today, most SMTP servers support the 8BITMIME extension, permitting binary files to be transmitted almost as easily as plain text. One of the prevalent disadvantages is that it doesn’t authorize users so there arose a need to define SMTP-AUTH.

POP is another mailing system used by email clients. These days it’s the version 3 which is used known as POP3 (version 3). Basically, users read their mails from a client software provided by ISPs that uses POP3.

NOTE : The server assigns a string of characters as a permanent and unique ID for the message. When a POP3-compatible e-mail client connects to the server, it can use the UIDL command to get the current mapping from these message IDs to the ordinal message numbers. The client can then use this mapping to determine which messages it has yet to download, which saves time when downloading.

One of the most silly and inane problems of users who use a CMS on their website is related to SMTP & POP. I often get mails or sometimes people themselves asking me that whenever a user registers on his website, he never receives the welcome mail. Suppose a user forgets his password. He tries to recover it by clicking the “forgot password” link or button whatever the case may be. The remarkable thing is that he never gets that mail containing the password. So it is obvious that the mail is never sent from the site using that CMS.

The problem lies at the very core of the settings in the CMS. Mostly a CMS switched to POP is never able to send the mail (also depends on the server facility). So please switch it to SMTP and the things work absolutely fine.

SMTP : Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
CMS : Content Management System
POP : Post Office Protocol

Before posting my first post in this blog, I would like to Introduce myself.

Hi I am Varun Mishra, Studying in KV, RKP, 4. I have been a design addict since late 90s, When I got my first PC and Flash 3 in it, It was just amazing, you could create things moving, without any technical skills. Slowly time changed and Flash was just out of the box, which I cannot get inside my head. So after digging up many warez, I finally got my hands on Photoshop 5. It sure was easy and I started designing Covers for my Projects in School and everyone got really impressed that they chose me for Designing School's Magazine Cover. It was surely an achievement.

I had skills, I had time, so I started doing freelance work at Rentacoder.com, from here I earned like 100$ permonth and I was happy, but my studies got worse and worse, so I had to give up and focus. I had been doing lot of other stuff from then, ;) which I will tell yoy all later.
