Google withdraws Adsense Referrals !!

In a drastic policy change decision by Google, It has decided to withdraw from the adsense Referrals which might affect a lot of publishers across the world. Apart from this fact, it has surprised many as Google is not known for withdrawing programs it started. This might be a turning point for Google Inc. The starting of losing trust among its broad based publisher community around the world. Many webmasters today depend on the Adsense referral program for the major part of their revenue, even though many have failed to earn substantially from the program, withdrawing the program alltogether along with the firefox and other own Google products affiliate has indeed damaged the goodwill of the company.

As an alternative, Google is offering this through a partnership with Double Click by Perfomics:

As part of the integration of DoubleClick, the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network will nowoperate as the Google Affiliate Network for advertisers targeting users located in the United States. Similar to the AdSense Referrals program, the Google Affiliate Network enables publishersto apply for advertiser programs and get paid based onadvertiser-defined actions instead of clicks or impressions. Forfurther details, please visit: www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork

I personally hit the join now button on Perfomics and then just closed the window the moment I saw only one option of payment, payment by check. When people can expect Google to retire a program how will they trust others ??

 But the fact remains: Google has Withdrawn !! Its time for Google to re-think. A company which has always found ways to fight back with demerits by creating innovation has finally withdrawn.

Spiderroost Technologies, Latur completes two years !
Written by Abhilash Pillai

Today, Spiderroost Technologies completed two years of its formation. The company has kept on growing from its inception in June 30, 2006. The company was started with a two member staff and now is 20 member strong.

However, when I look back, more than what we have achieved it reminds me of what we failed to achieve. The kind of progress the company made is not with the expectations and dreams I had in mind. Yes, it did fell short of my expectations. But its also true that its not the end of the road. A technology company should progress in multiples of 10's and 20's, should grow at tremondous rate or else its not worth. The company was stagnent for a year in terms of looking for more sources of revenue apart from the SEO allied jobs.

Even though the team did work hard something was missing in terms of will and interest. Being the technical head of the company makes this fact more intorelable to digest as the reponsibility falls on me personally. But dreams are still alive and hopes still there, changing times will change the attitude at work and hope the company progresses much faster than its doing now :)

Apart from being the only outsourcing company at Latur, Mah, its also one of the only SEO companies in the central maharashtra region which provides services to US and UK clients. Still its a long way to go for the company to celebrate !

Power of net to make money !!

A decade back , knowledge sitting idle would have meant nothing. But now its the most powerfull weapon when attached to a PC and a Internet connection. Thats how technology has changed people's lives, not only people's but entire nation's. A country like India which was considered just as a developing nation is now lined as future number 1 and 2 among most powerfull nations in the world. And this has happened due to the economic strides the nation took especially in the IT sector , making it the knowledge superpower.

 The concept is very clear. It is a well known fact that knowledge is wealth and this large super pool of knowledge in India had converted well to wealth. Wealth means power and the country is now in a very much dominating position than it was years ago. People in India have realised that their efforts count much to the nation's progress.

 Even companies in small towns are hitting headlines, like Spiderroost Technologies, a company of which I am the technical head, and managed to win the global third prize in the international SEO contest which is a well accepted credit. However, there is a long way to go for companies and individuals in India and so is the SEO community in India.

 The SEO community at present is not well organised and I just hope they do some collective effort to make a change in this regard for mutual benefit. Individual's should make it a point to make use of their knowledge and convert them to money for their own and nation's benefit.
