Facebook banned by Indian government

Indian newspaper The Times of India is reporting that the Maharashtra Government has blocked access to online social networking site Facebook from its government offices in Mantralaya.

Due to a drop in productivity and a rise in complaints, the government’s IT department was instructed to block the site after employees were allegedly seen spending “hours on it” according to the report.

However, the ban hasn’t gone down well with one employee saying the government is wrong in its view that productivity has suffered through Facebook use. According to the TOI report, Facebook was only being used during lunch times and when there was no other “important” work.

Government officials however are remaining firm on the decision, claiming web access is for office purposes only.

I'll be a softie mom: Mandira Bedi

A pregnant Mandira Bedi has done a photo shoot exclusively for the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine which hits stands today. The anchor-actress talks about the most beautiful phase in her life and how she and hubby Raj Kaushal are preparing to welcome their bundle of joy which is due next month. Extracts from the interview...

On having a baby 12 years after marriage:

"I have worked for most part of my married life and I kept delaying it. No one really pressurised us, not his family or mine, to have a baby."

On coping with pregnancy: "You have lots of ugly days and suddenly your wardrobe is limited to literally 14 things that I'm pulling off hangers."

On motherhood: "It's a beautiful phase. Motherhood is something that everyone should experience and I didn't want to be left behind."

On what kind of parents she and Raj would make: "I reckon Raj will be the disciplinarian. I'm a bit of a softie."

I am not pregnant: Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty has denied that she is pregnant. The actress tweets, "Sick and tired of all the congratulatory messages and calls. So, for the last time, 'I am not pregnant'. All this is so annoying...grrrrrrrrr." Last week there were speculations of a bundle of joy being on its way.

I kissed a girl... and was traumatised

Keerti Kulhari on her first gal-on-gal smooch in Bejoy Nambiar's 'Shaitan'
After playing a fairly gharelu Punjabi kudi in the madcap comedy Khichdi The Movie, Keerti Kulhari was compelled to get bold for her role in Bejoy Nambiar's Shaitan.


Kalki and Keerti Kulhari kiss in Shaitan

In the Anurag Kashyap production, she plays Tanya, a girl next-door who's part of a wild group and is compelled to lose her inhibitions.

Read on to find out how the lines between her reel and real life have blurred.
Tell us about Tanya...
She is the most sober in the gang of shaitans.

How does she end up kissing another girl, Amy (played by Kalki)?
Tanya doesn't want to kiss Amy. They're playing truth and dare. Amy is a cool girl who likes to try different things. It's her turn and she 'dares' to kiss me.

How do you rate Kalki as a kisser?
It was hardly a kiss.

Is it the only time you have been kissed by a girl?
(Laughs) Yes. And it will be the last time ever.

Has any girl made a pass at you?
Yes. In Standard 10, there was a girl in my badminton team. I think she had the hots for me. Though she never said anything, the way she used to talk and give me attention, made her intentions very obvious. She would
feel very jealous if I talked to guys...

Were you told that you would have to kiss a girl?
No. Bejoy told me about everything else but the kiss. Well, he did bring it up once, but I thought he was kidding. It wasn't until we were rolling, that Bejoy announced that the scene was on. Kalki kisses me in that scene.

Did you enjoy it?
I was traumatised. Thankfully, it was just one take. The reaction in the film was what I was actually going through at that time. I haven't even kissed a guy onscreen. And I did my first kiss with a girl! That was an experience.

Did your co-stars tease you?
Yes, they were all teasing us after the shot. After the shot, Kalki even fooled around. She started behaving like she had the hots for me. She tried to run her hands on my thighs. I told her to stop it and let me regain my senses. I was very amused.

How did your family react?
They were shocked. But they completely understand that it's part of the profession. They have been supportive.

What is your take homosexuality?
To each its own. I like to kiss a guy and want to be kissed by a guy, but I have nothing against people who have homosexual tendencies. I have gay friends.

Nokia T7-00 leaks, to come in HSDPA and TD-SCDMA flavors

It appears that Nokia is about to add a new Symbian^3 smartphone to its range of devices. The Nokia T7-00 is obviously the first representative of a whole new series that should join the existing C, E, N and X handsets.

Unfortunately, the leaked Ovi publisher slide tells us little about the specs of the Nokia T7-00. It will be fully compatible with Symbian^3 apps written for the usual nHD resolution and, more excitingly it will also support VGA apps.

That got us hoping that the T7-00 will be the first Symbian^3 smartphone to have a higher-res screen, but this seems pretty unlikely. A couple of XMLs were found on the Nokia website that reveals the nHD resolution of the smartphone.

However those files confirm that there will actually be two versions of the T7-00. One will be working on regular GSM networks with UMTS 3G and HSDPA, while the other will obviously be heading to China as it packs a TD-SCDMA radio.

We’ll be on the lookout for more information about this new Nokia handset and will keep you updated if anything comes up (a photo would be nice).

Shahid Kapoor Says My Character in Mausam Inspired Me From My Dad

Shahid Kapoor Says My character in Mausam inspired me from my dad

Shahid Kapur, who plays a character spanning a dozen years from a small-town youth to a pilot in his father Pankaj Kapur's film Mausam, has been inspired by his father's childhood and youth when he was growing up in Ludhiana.

Lad to man
Says a source close to him, "Shahid plays a young 18 year old boy from a rural town in Punjab, who later grows into a 30-year-old man, who becomes a pilot.

Shahid's father Pankaj himself has been born and brought up in the town of Ludhiana. When researching for the film Shahid decided to base his character on his dad."
"He has re-lived his dad's childhood in small towns by visiting Ludhiana, going through Pankaj's old photos and riding a cycle through the narrow streets of a small town in Punjab.
Shahid's first shot in Mausam is that of cycling down the streets of a small rural town," the source elaborated.
Shahid will be seen doing many things in Mausam from going to college and getting ragged to trying to flirt with girls in college.

Doing it right
"Pankaj took him to Ludhiana and other small towns of Punjab, in and around small gullies.
There's even one scene where mud is being thrown on Shahid's face. While the unit people got multani mitti to put on his face Pankaj, who was in theatre before, was very upset and ordered that real mud be brought as he wanted the scene to look realistic. Shahid is enjoying the transition of a young boy to a man."

After Mausam, Shahid begins Kunal Kohli's next a romantic comedy with Priyanka Chopra where both play a young, much-much-in-love 28-year olds.
"Fortunately in film Shahid is playing his age throughout the film and there is no age transition at all," the source said.

Radhika murder accused held in Mumbai

The Delhi Police have arrested the alleged killer of 20-year-old Delhi University student Radhika Tanwar from Mumbai.

The accused, identified as Ram Singh alias Vijay, was arrested from his friend’s house in Vikhroli on Friday night.

Police said Singh suffers from “psychopathic obsession”.

Earlier, Singh’s friends Tabrez and Ashraf were arrested and named as co-accused for harbouring him. On Saturday, police arrested Sheikh Sheikhu, at whose house Singh kept the countrymade pistol with which he allegedly shot Radhika on Tuesday.

“Singh suffers from psychopathic obsession. He used to follow women. He followed Radhika regularly. The immediate trigger was when Radhika snubbed him on March 5,” said H G S Dhaliwal, DCP (South).

Radhika killer arrested in Mumbai

Mumbai: Ram Singh alias Vijay, a young man accused of killing Delhi University student Radhika Tanwar, was arrested here Saturday, informed sources said.

The 25-year-old, whose identity was made public Friday, was nabbed by Delhi Police from Vikhroli suburb in northeast Mumbai.
He is likely to be presented before a magistrate for a transit remand and taken to Delhi.
Ram Singh is accusing of gunning down Radhika, a second year student of Ram Lal Anand College. She was shot March 8 on a foot overbridge near her college in south Delhi.
Ram Singh had been allegedly beaten up in New Delhi years ago after he had stalked Radhika, police said.
The cold-blooded murder sparked widespread outrage, with even Gursharan Kaur, wife of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, joining the chorus demanding the arrest of the killer.

Ad and image placement: a policy clarification

We've recently received a number of emails from publishers asking how we feel about the placement of images near Google ad units. There's been some confusion on this issue, and so we turned to our policy team to set the record straight.

Can I place small images next to my Google ads?

We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn't actually being offered. That's not a good experience for users or advertisers.

Publishers should also be careful to avoid similar implementations that people could find misleading. For instance, if your site contains a directory of Flash games, you should not format the ads to mimic the game descriptions.

What if I place a space or a line between my images and my ads? Would that work?

No. If the ads and the images appear to be associated, inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads will not make the implementation compliant.

Does this mean I can't place ads on pages with images?

You can definitely place Google ads on pages containing images -- just make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. For example, if you run a stock photography site with a catalog of thumbnail images, don't line the ads up with the thumbnails in a way that could be misleading. Consider using a full border around your ads or changing your ad colors, for example.

100 Google Adsense Tips

1.AdSense Earning = Impression-count x Click-though-rate x Cost-per-click x smart-pricing-factor.

2.Impression count is basically referring to your traffic. It means the number of times AdSense block is displayed.

3.Click-through-rate (CTR) is ratio of clicks per impressions. It can range from 0.1% to 30%, but most commonly around 1% to 10%.

4.Cost-per-click (CPC) is the earning you get per click. While traditionally it refers to the amount advertisers pay for each click, it can also mean the amount publishers get for each click.

5.Smart-pricing is AdSense method to determine how valuable clicks from your site is worth. If clicks on your site doesn’t provide good value to advertisers, e.g. from visitors’ geo-location that seldom translate to sales, you will only get a fraction of the supposed CPC.

6.Apply for AdSense account via blogger.com for faster approval.

7.Once you get your AdSense publisher code, you can put it any of your websites without requiring further approval.

8.Read and reread Google AdSense Program Policies and Terms and Conditions.

9.Don’t click on your own ads, or ask people to click, even if you are using proxies.

10.Don’t use click-bots.

11.Don’t encourage your visitors to click on ads. The only acceptable text is “Sponsored Links” and “Advertisements”.

12.Don’t put competitor contextual ads on the same page as your AdSense, for example: Yahoo Publisher Network, Clicksor. Non-contextual ads are ok.

13.Don’t put your ads on objectionable material, e.g. adult sites, gambling sites, mp3, etc.

14.Basically, don’t cheat AdSense. Google will catch you, sooner or later.

15.Viewing your on website will not get you banned. Just make sure you don’t click on the ads.

16.However, repeatedly reload your page to jack up page impressions can get you banned.

17.When in doubt don’t hesitate to contact the AdSense team. They are very helpful.

18.Choose a high paying niche without too much competition.

19.You can try highest paying keywords from cwire.org, but know before-hand that you’ll face very fierce competitions.

20.Use Overture Bid Tool and Search Engine Keyword Tool to find suitable keyword.

  [100 Google Adsense Tips]
• “First impressions count: make sure the ad unit with the highest CTR is the first ad unit in the HTML code of your page. Keep in mind that the first ad unit in the source code is not always the first ad unit that your users will see when the page finishes loading in their browser.”
  [Inside AdSense: First impressions count]
• “Ads placed near rich content and navigational aids usually do well because users are focused on those areas of a page. on pages where users are typically focused on reading an article, ads placed directly below the end of the editorial content tend to perform very well.”
  [Where should I place Google ads on my pages?]
• “Format is important for multiple ad units, display your ad units where repeat users will notice them, place a leaderboard immediately after the last post.”
  [Six AdSense optimization tips for forums]
• “The middle, above the fold location performs the best. Best performing ad format is the large rectangle, 336×280. So the wider ad formats are doing better than the other ones and the reason is that they actually take up fewer lines. And so with every additional line, you have a chance of losing that interested user.
• So the wider formats do best so specifically, the top three formats are the 336×280 that you see on the page; the 300×250 medium rectangle; and then the 160×600 wide skyscraper.
• We have a feature in the AdSense account where you are able to multi-select different color palettes that blend with your site to add some variety and freshness to the ads. And that also will help decrease ad blindness.”
  [Google AdSense Optimization Webinar]
• “The second most active placement in terms of click-throughs tends to be the right-hand rail or margin”. “Skyscrapers” and vertical banners do well when placed next to the content in the main body. Square and rectangle ads placed within the center column also do well, provided they are placed in context to the content. Ads placed below the fold tend to perform least well, although that isn’t a hard-and-fast rule.”
  [Yahoo! Publisher Network: Location, location, location...]
• “I found the most success in placing the Google Adsense medium rectangle either right in the middle of the page or in a middle right column as long as it has content above and below the ad unit. Its is fine to use Adsense Ads on a forum however expect a very low CTR.”
  [Google Adsense Tips for Webmasters]
• “Post Adsense ads on text rich pages, avoid titles like the approved ‘Sponsored Links’ and ‘Advertisements’, place Ads above the fold, Match the colors of your ads with the colour scheme of your site, Blend ads with your page – remove the borders by having a similar color as your background.”
  [How to Increase Google Adsense CTR]

  [Positive Adsense Experiment]

If you're well versed in webspeak, you're probably familiar with the concept of stickiness -- the quality that entices web users to stick around a given site. Here at AdSense, we're down with the web version of stickiness, but we've got a different kind of adhesive in mind: the kind that lets you take the AdSense logo a-go-go.

That's right, we're talking stickers.

We've printed up a batch of AdSense stickers, and we'd be delighted to send one or two your way, wherever you are in the world. The stickers are designed for laptops, but they'll work just as well for placement on mugs, skateboards, or temporarily on a shirt. (Note: turning a pal into a walking Google ad without their knowledge is not recommended.)



                                              
So how do you get one of these glue-backed masterpieces? Easy: send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope with enough postage to return 1 oz of sticker goodness to you from our office in California via standard U.S. mail. (Sorry, we can't help you calculate the postage to your location). Send your envelope, along with a note if you'd like, to:

Google AdSense

Supplies are limited, so send your envelope soon! Then you can stick with AdSense wherever you go. (And one last thing to keep in mind: while we're flattered that you might want a whole box, note that we're only able to provide one or two per publisher.)
