How about a blog on your static website?
June 16th, 2008 by Vamsi
Blogs always have the edge over static websites to bring in traffic. Having a blog added for a static website is very helpful. I’ve recommended the same to several of my clients at work and few SEO friends in other companies. If a client is interested in a blog, I was more than willing to help them out and they are always happy to have someone with good knowledge in Blogging and SEO/SEM together.
Checkout “Putting A Blog on Your Static Website” a post at Daily Blog Tips which is a part of a series of posts on Website Traffic.
I’m sure you would be convinced too.
Happy Blogging!
Dasavatharam releases with 1,000 prints - bigger than Rajinikant’s Shivaji
June 13th, 2008 by Vamsi
Kamal Hassan’s Dasavatharam which is releasing today (June 13 ), is expected to hit the screens with around 1,000 prints in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. In Kerala it is releasing in 75 screens, while in Andhra in 250 screens.
In non-southern markets movie is beeing released with about 60 prints with sub-titles across the country- the largest release a regional film has witnessed.
Theatres in Chennai are screening around 45 shows a day in 21 theatres as opposed to Rajinikant’s Sivaji, which was released last year in 17 theatres.
Kamal Hassan is making a comeback after two years… so, anticipation for the film has skyrocketed so very high.
I am eager to watch the movie this weekend in Hyderabad.
Update (June 16th, 2008):
Watched the movie on Saturday. Its no where to my expectations except the first 15min of the movie. Rest of it goes on and on and on… and I felt as if I was sitting in the theater for half a day. I heard that the budget was 60 Crore Rupees and the graphics costed a lot of money. But after watching it, I guess even 6 Crores is waste paying for the graphics. Very cheap and silly graphics. No quality at all. Kamal, you should have gone for a better animation company. Coming to the makeup; Only 2 makeups were good enough. Rest of them were crappy and scary. By the way, the picture in this post is NOT showing the original characters played by Kamal. That one is some imaginative designer’s work misguiding people.
I recently saw the movie Forbidden Kingdom and I would say the old man’s makeup on Jackie Chan is
what our Industry makeup standards should be like.
Though I didn’t like the Movie “Dasavatharam”, I would say Kamal has guts to do this movie. I’m sure no other actor can even attempt to do a movie like this just because of too many links and roles.
If I have to remake the move, I would say, the whole of the movie should be like the first 15 min. May be all roles should be historic and powerful, all the roles NEED NOT be linked in one story, there could be multiple stories shown from the history and someone can narrate the stories in between…. well thats what I expected to be in the movie.
I would say, If you still didn’t watch this movie, you can wait for the DVD/CD to be released and watch it at home.

Spending thousands of dollars but very low ROI on Google AdWords?
October 3rd, 2007 by Vamsi
Paying a lot on Google AdWords and making nothing? Well, I’m sure you might be bidding for generic keywords like “cameras” or “mp3″ (based on your business and keywords). Generic keywords like this have a very high Min.CPC could range from $5 to $70 or even more and have a very less conversion rate

Hutch is now Vodafone and Vodafone branding spoiling TV viewer experience
September 21st, 2007 by Vamsi
Anurag at India Inc wrote about Vodafone brand to dominate media in the coming days 3 days ago. At that point I thought this would be like Hutch advertising when it was initially launched all over India. they didn’t leave anything from boards or road divider, all hoardings in all cities to top TV commercial slots. Their advertisements where everywhere. At that point itself everyone felt it was over branding. Recalling that is the now re-branding campaign of Vodafone. Read the rest of this entry »
