			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.gangavalli.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/google-adwords.jpg" alt="google-adwords" align="right" height="68" width="150" /> Paying a lot on Google AdWords and making nothing? Well, I&#8217;m sure you might be bidding for generic keywords like &#8220;cameras&#8221; or &#8220;mp3&#8243; (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</p>
<form action="search.php" method="post" style="overflow: auto; width: 0pt; height: 0pt">
Want <a href="http://mp3adrenalin.com/">fresh and free mp3 music</a>? You can find it here.<br />

<p><span id="more-230"></span></p>
<p>because most of the people clicking these ads might just be searching for something and you showed up with an interesting ad and you got clicked, with a $25 a click and no sale means simply adding this to the negative ROI. Instead you could you long phrases which have less CPCs.</p>
<p>Observed this years ago when I first stated working on AdWords and saved a lot of money and ofcourse improved conversion rates exponentially.</p>

<p><span id="more-228"></span></p>
<p>For years I have been very careful about backlinks for all my client sites and I&#8217;m sure my cautious and slow backlinking methods paid back.  </p>
<p>Do not fall for the email and advertisements which says &#8220;Guaranteed top 10 positions in all major search engines&#8221; or these days people are mailing like &#8220;Your site is no where in Google? We will bring you to the #1 position for atleast 10 keywords in less than a month. We have invented a new way to achieve Google rankings&#8230;.. &#8220;&nbsp; Dont fall for this stuff people. It will never work like that. Even if your site afterall ranks for some keywords in the top, soon your domain will be a victim of penalization. You will just endup wasting a lot of money which you can rather use in Google AdWords or hire a good SEO Company or better a Freelance SEO if your budget is low. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anurag at India Inc wrote about Vodafone brand to dominate media in the coming days <a href="http://www.labnol.org/india/corporate/vodafone-brand-to-dominate-media-in-coming-days/1384/" target="_blank">3 days ago</a>. At that point I thought this would be like Hutch advertising when it was initially launched all over India. they didn&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.ndtvprofit.com/homepage/storybusinessnew.asp?id=40737" target="_blank">re-branding campaign</a> of Vodafone.<span id="more-227"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Vodafone has acquired Hutch for an estimated enterprise value of over US $19 billion (Rs 85,000 crores). Vodafone is the worldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s largest mobile phone group by revenue and Hutch is IndiaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s fourth largest mobile operator.</p></blockquote>
<p>We(myself and my sweetheart) were watching a documentary on IC-814 Hijack(Indian Airlines flight which was taken to kandhahar in Dec 1999) in the National Geographic Channel yeaterday and guess what, we felt like we were watching the programme in between Vodafone ads. It was so irritating. There were 2-3 min breaks in the programme and all the time in all the breaks it was Vodafone ads ONLY. What an irritating branding.</p>
<p>I was a heavy paying Hutch subscriber for 3 years and dumped it because of their service which made me not reachable most of the time even though I was getting full signal on my mobile. I decided to throw their sim away and never to go for hutch and with this vodafone irritation, I would probably not think of the new brand too if I need a new connection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I Don&#8217;t know where to start but before I write about our recent Delhi-Nainital Trip, I wanted to write about this because this is more heart felt than anything else.</p>
<p><span id="more-226"></span></p>
<p>Saturday night is a very busy night normally in Hyderabad or for that matter any city. People go to movies, pubs, parks, eatouts, exhibitions,&#8230; every sought of entertainment is tried on this particular evening to the maximum capacity and it was the same this saturday(25th Aug) too until 2 high explosive bombs took off. We normally hangout with friends on saturdays, especially in the evening. This Saturday We were busy in the afternoon looking for options for an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_trainer" target="_blank">elliptical machine</a> for home use, We did buy one and got back to home. But in the evening we had planned for a movie along with friends at <a href="http://www.prasadz.com/" target="_blank">Prasads Multiplex</a>. Because it was a late night movie, we went to Sampradaya(at Adthidhi inn) at Green Park Road to have our dinner and then head to the movie. One of our friends&#8217; Venu called up and said there were two blasts in the city one at Gokul Chat(a very famous chat center) and another at Lumbini Park(this is exactly behind Prasadz Multiplux complex which we will be going in another 30 minutes or so). We thought it was a small intensity bomb which are normally used to give a warning. We finished our dinner and headed home. Switched on the TV and then realized both of the blasts were huge. Atleast, for us at Hyderabad these blasts were very big.</p>
<p>Seeing the first images, we were shocked, I had a feeling that &#8220;we were very close to this&#8221; and as I write this post today, the feeling is still there. Even if not at the exact spot, we would have been at Prasadz where there was panic because people were told there was a bomb in Prasadz too. Panic would be at its worst. We felt lucky.</p>
<p>The local news channels did a good coverage on the blasts. But these channels have no sense to screen bloody images and bodies without heads, body parts without body and the dead in a pool of blood. The scenes were horrific and these channels were thinking their rating would increase if they show these images? I felt like slapping these news reporters on the face.  Still feel the same, especially about the ETV2 guys. And ofcourse the politicians for making everything political. People are dead! A mother is crying the hell out for her 2 dead kids who are in a pool of blood,  a father holds his dead son on his lap and says &#8220;I thought he would fullfil his dream of becoming a doctor, I didn&#8217;t know he would die like this&#8221;. These images will tear your heart apart. And this is how a politician thinks while you are feeling a TON of sorrow; &#8220;OK, I think this is the right time to target the ruling party, forget the dead and injured and lets fuck the ruling party using media and create the impression to people that if it was they were in power, nothing like this would happen&#8221;. Where do these assholes come from? They should realize people are not dumb and fall for their slow motion speeches. All political parties are the same in this case.</p>
<p>Making things more worse are people near the spot after the incident. Throwing stones on public property like city busses and police vehicles, shouting slogans against the ruling party. Again where do these people come from? Its clear that these people are paid and sent to the spot for creating a mess and make it much more difficult for the ruling party and the police to take care of things. When a bomb explodes, the first thing a top cop does is to ensure that help is provided on spot and search teams are dispatched to search un-exploded bombs in possible places. People should understand this and stay calm. If they can do something, they can help the cops or the help the injured ones. I say anyone throwing stones on public property does not deserve to be Indian Citizens. These people should either be in a jail or thrown out of a country.</p>

<p>If you see the initial news you will clearly understand that there is no procedure in collecting clues or investigating on the crime scene. The police act like they don&#8217;t even know what a crime scene means. After the blasts hundreds of people, media persons(absolutely crazy to get news), the police, task force, politicians(what are they going to do seeing the crime scene, scent it and tell who did it?)&#8230;.. everyone want to see it and goes and stamps everything they can, climb the chairs in the lumbini park to get a better view of the dead bodies there,&#8230; are these people the investigators? And then it rains trice. Does no one has the sense to protect the crime scene from getting washed away? nothing, they will do just nothing to help the investigation. These people should know that investigating begins at the crime scene and a protected crime scene can sometimes reveal clues even days later. I don&#8217;t understand how they can just pickup things from a crime scene with bare hands.</p>
<p>The bomb squad later recovered more than a dozen bombs at various crowded places. Some failed ones and some stopped before their detonation times reached. All these were time bombs and high explosive material was used with atleast a kilogram of ball bearings in each. According the bomb disposal team, the intension was not just to create panic but to create maximum deaths.There are several questions unanswered and may be will never be answered unless the criminals confess themselves. First of all, Why India? If India, why Hyderabad? Ok, hyderabad is one of those cities where clashes between hindus and muslims can be created, if that&#8217;s the intension, then why in a public place where there are both muslims, hindus and most of all where there are kids? Why target the common man who is enjoying a weekend in a park or an eatout with his family? According to the bomb disposal squad, the bombs means to create maximum death toll. Then why were these bombs timed for different timings? if maximum damage and maximum death toll was their intension, all bombs exploding at the same time would have created unimaginable death toll which could surely be one of the worst terror attacks ever.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m at work right now and its 4:00PM and we just did a silent prayer for 2 minutes. I wished the same never happens to anyone else and the people who did this be caught, tortured and hanged, so that they will cry for their life in pain. I also wished, next time someone prepares these bombs should die while preparing the bomb, should be ripped into pieces. For those who have lost their near and dear ones, our prayers are with you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Myself, my sweetheart and our friends(13 of us) just had a great weekend trip to remember. We went for a 2 day trip to <strong>Talakona Jungle and Waterfalls</strong> (located ~80 km from Tirupati) and <strong>Horsley Hills</strong>, also known as Ooty of Andhra Pradesh (located 144 km from Tirupati, 160 km from Bangalore).</p>
<p><span id="more-221"></span></p>
<p>We started on Friday evening from Hyderabad (Secunderabad station) taking Padmavati express which started at 6:30 PM and we reached Tirupati at 7:30 AM, from there we took a mini bus (15 seater) (cost:5.8K/2days including diesel, rent and driver beta) and headed to Talakona Jungle. We booked a AP Tourism Resort (Punnami) in Talakona. Anyway, that&#8217;s the only place to stay in Talakona, but was decent enough. If you ever go here, make sure you close your doors and beware of the monkeys. We quickly freshed-up and headed to the jungle where there was a small waterfalls. Not a waterfalls actually, but was a good one to start with. Came back to the rooms, had lunch at a small village style hotel near the resort and left for the main waterfalls. It was a long walk from there but the fun after reaching the waterfalls was 10 times worth the walk. By the time we started back from the waterfalls, it was almost dark. We had dinner at the same place and then camp fire and then deep sleep. Next day, in the early hours, we started to Horsley hills. The climate there was awesome. Every moment was captured on camera.</p>
<p>We have taken a lot of photos to share. Below is a snapshot of photos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>you should be wondering right? I was blogging pretty heavily when I started blogging. And then soon I was standing on several boats at once and could not do anything in my free time in the right way. Finally I decided to drive one boat at a time. So, lets see how it all goes.  </p>
<p>Just cleaned up a lot of un-necessary plugins and features on the blog which were generating a lot of database hits and slowing down the loading of the page.  </p>
<p>By the way, When I say a boat, I mean my <a href="http://www.gangavalli.net/" target="_blank">small sites</a> which I work on the weekends. </p>
