Pick which is not a web browser from the ones below ?

1. Firefox

2. Internet Explorer

2. Facebook

4.Google Chrome

Obliviously you would not have picked “Google Chrome” if you are a bit tech savvy ( because the answer is facebook), but this contestant from “who wants to be a millionaire “ in INDIA had to take an audience vote to pick “Facebook”.

Chrome the “Google Web browser” stars in “who wants to be a millionaire”

Who wants to be a millionaire in India is hosted by “India’s Most popular Bollywood star Amitabh Bachan” and Amitabh Bachan in this show was endorsing the “Google Chrome Browser” on national television saying it is a very nice and fast browser that he likes.

Here is the You tube Video of this show where the question was asked , Google India must be pleased to get this free (maybe) endorsement on national television on one of the more popular rated television shows in India.

Google has recently also published big print advertisements in India promoting the Google chrome Browser. Her is one of the ads that appear in the Indian newspapers

Are Indian affiliates marketing companies any good

September 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

I Like to stick with Google ad sense to make money, but you always need to have a back up plan so its good to dabble a bit in affiliates earnings as well. Other options like Amazon and Click bank and other affiliates can certainly bring in some extra money.

Moneymaking on the net is not an easy task and when the network is not paying you for your hard earn clicks and visits by people that is even more disappointing. I myself have experienced quite a few disappointment with quite a few small marketing network affiliates.

Recently i came across a Indian Network affiliate company that boasts quite a good client base that they are promoting, its been 2 months now and i still have some of their banners on my one site and have not got nay sales or clicks , but then i have been a bit lazy in taking them to place them in the correct spot and then updating the latest ads as well.

The affiliate company is www.shoogloo.com

Here are some of their clients that they promote , i have also noticed they have now started paying good commissions for promoting jet airways sale .

if you already with them and have any input on them pls feel free to leave a comment. I am still hoping that i make some money with them

As described in our earlier blog post, the the U.S. Federal Trade Commission released revised guidelines governing endorsements and testimonials that take effect on December 1, 2009. Among other things, these guidelines say that a blogger that endorses a product or service must disclose compensation received directly or indirectly from the seller of that product or service.

New australian ISP 1 terrabyte plans

August 20, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

Yes its here ,but at what price ?? iiNet and iPrimus are the first australian ISP’S to launch 1TB plans forhigh speed internet connections

IINET PLAN : The plans offer 500GB peak and 500GB off-peak for customers who bundle their home phone with iiNet. ADSL1 customers can get the 1TB deal for $119 per month and ADSL2+ customers for $99 per month.

Shaping is at 2

Image via Wikipedia

56/256Kbps

Plans are only available to iiNet australian customers connected to an iiNet DSLAM ( Check with Whirlpool’s Broadband Choice to see which ISPs have DSLAMs in your local telephone exchange)

Do make sure to read the fine print. its one step forward with one step backward. It’s worth taking note that iiNet’s 1TB plan counts your upload and downloads, a catch that many ISPs only apply to their Naked DSL plans.

iPrimus announced a 1.1TB plan ($99 per month, or $119 per month for Naked DSL customers). That’s 511GB peak and 600GB off-peak – throttled to 256Kbps if you use your quota.Check if you are eligible to get this plan in your area

The isp terrabyte wars are only going to get hotter as we go forward and also the NBN Rolling out eventually while the customers are certainly going to be a happier lott.
