August 12, 2015 by Sajith V Leave a Comment

The Search Engine giant, Google has just restructured the company and branded with the new corporate name “Alphabet Inc”. That includes Google’s all non-core, innovative products and business.

Searching for its site? https://abc.xyz. Google or Alphabet doesn’t own the domain “Alphabet.com” (yet).

What Alphabet Inc. Includes

The alphabet is mostly a collection of companies which includes non core products of Google.

The present Google CEO, Larry Page, founder of Google will be the CEO of Alphabet Inc and President will be Sergy Bin (Cofounder and present Google president).

Why Alphabet Inc

Google founded in 1988 as a Search Engine service company and now Google has become more than an Internet service company and own different fast emerging companies under their umbrella. And different companies need a different type of culture and leadership. Many be this is the reason why Page and Bin thought about restructuring the company with a new brand name.

What Google Today

Google is slim down to its core products such as Search, Ads, Maps, Apps, YouTube and Android and its CEO will be Sunder Pichai.

Dear Google users,

Google products might not change its product/brand names and the Google.com website is not shifting to Alphabet.com (surprisingly still now, Google doesn’t own the domain Alphabet.com)

Google’s core business include Google Search, Ads, Maps, apps, YouTube and Android and related infrastructures. And all other products will report under Alphabet.

All Google shares will be automatically converted as the same number of shares of Alphabet Inc, with the same company codes GOOG and GOOGL.

How to increase RPM and CTR: Google Adsense Optimization

July 22, 2015 by Sajith V Leave a Comment

Getting a good blog running and still end up with less revenue issue is one of the nightmares after Google Adsense (or any ad network) is approved. With the correct and opt optimization, you can actually earn more than you expect. Once you are approved for Adsense (for the sake of me, here onwards I will be referring Google Adsense as an example) you are all your own, just placing them randomly won’t bring you any revenue. Take a look at a few of the strategies that will really help you out.

Please note that, it is always recommended to follow the Adsense/Ad network policies. This post does not include any black hat SEO or content techniques that will affect your Adsense or any such.

Running Ads on the side bars.

This is the most common and native ad placement method, this actually gains us page views if the reader land on any page in the blog or website. Since we don’t want to do anything stupid and get Adsense into trouble, let’s just do it the Google way. We will just place 2-3 Ads only on one page. It is always recommended that you place one leader board on top of the blog/site (780×90). This will really make a difference as the viewers will definitely view the ad once they land on the page which will finally end up in more ad views. The right side bar Ad placements are visibly good looking and really does the job. But make sure your ads are responsive. You don’t want Ads disrupting the content that is against Adsense policy.

In post Ad placement

In post ad placement is the best way for making revenue. In post can gain you really more RPM. If you take a look at my ad unit placement and in post RPM you can definitely see the difference in the RPM I received. In post Ads is the magic, if placed properly along with images and links you can really increase your turnover and hence higher CTR. If you place ads within the content, it will hike the CTC and CTR as the ads are showing more relevant to the content. Imagine I write an article nearly hosting and I place ads within the content, behind Google starts showing ads connected to the content the chances of getting clicks are comparatively more comparing to the clicks you would have got placing ads in the sidebar.

With the best Ad strategies comes more revenue. Please do make sure you don’t disrupt the content by placing more ads and less content. I would recommend you place ‘responsive ads’ between posts in order to avoid incompatibility in various screen sizes and devices. Don’t forget the mobile users, though the ads you place will appear on mobile devices, it is always recommended that you also include mobile ads along with the other ad units too. Also keep in mind, use recommended ad units and responsive ad units in order to increase user engagement and more revenue,

And not last but the least, the analytics. Use a good analytic like Google or any other analytic tool to identify the most explored and engaged area in the site/blog by the users and place ad’s accordingly. The targeting audience plays a great role in making the most out Google Ads or any other ad network. Certain countries like USA and United Kingdom gives you more RPM especially Canada with the highest RPM. Take a look at few strategies to target audience and hike the revenue.

Asus Zenfone2 Review

June 30, 2015 by Sajith V Leave a Comment

“What features will come to your mind while someone asking you about your favorite smartphone?” – My friend asked to me.

He was introducing his brand new Asus Zenphone2 smartphone.

“Ofcourse, I need better performance (RAM, Processor, etc.) and better Camera…. Then… Storage capacity and it’s good if it supports the latest version of Operating system.

The next question was,

“You choose performance as a first priority… How much RAM capacity you are expecting for a smartphone below 22K?” – He asked again.

“Uh.. 2GB?” – Answered.

“2GB? Sajith, My Smartphone which costs below 22K have 4GB of RAM capacity”.

“4GB? .. ” My mouth opened and eyes rolled out. (:-o)

“Hmm.. And the second choice is Camera quality.. Is 13 MP primary and 5 MP secondary cameras bad 😉 ” – Again he questioned.

“NEVER..” – My answer…

Even my 25K smartphone doesn’t have these configurations. 🙁

“And Sajith, My smartphone have 1280 x 720 HD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection” – Doesn’t sounds bad.

His zenfone2 comes with exceptional storage capacity and you could choose how much storage you needed and the storage capacities available are 16 GB, 32 GB, 64GB, 128 and priced INR 15K, 19K, 23K and 30K respectively.

Quick zenfone2 specifications.

Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel processor

RAM: 4 GB

Camera: 13 MP primary / 5 MP secondary

OS: Andriod Lollipop (V5)

Storage Capacity: 16/32/64/128 GB variants available

A quick Google of ASUS zenfone2 leads me to promotion program of Zenfone2 by Asus named “India Unseen Project” which calls all Indians to take unseen pictures of Indian culture, Indian places or anything related to incredible India and best photo entries will a brand new zenfone2 and some vouchers are there for other contestants. Participate for “India Unseen Project” here.

This all shows, Asus might make some revolutionary changes in the Android smartphone world.

Hats off to the new Asus Zenfone2. And planning to purchase Asus zenfone2 now.

Some Common Cyber Myths and Realities

June 22, 2015 by Sajith V 7 Comments

Cyber Myths and Realities

We are living in a cyber world and almost everything is computerized. And hence there are some myths also in the cyber world. Here reveals some of them.

Is Auto Run a Virus program?

A majority of techies believes that, the file “autorun. inf” is a virus program. We might have experiences like when we insert a CD or pen drive, someone might say, delete that “autorun.inf” and it’s a harmful virus for your PC.

Guys, “autorun.inf is not a Virus program“.

What is autorun.inf?

Autorun.inf is NOT a Virus

Did you notice when inserting a Disk or pendrive, some files (executable or non executable) open automatically? “autorun.inf” is the file/program which plays behind this. The file name which needs to be executed or open automatically is written in the autorun.inf file.

However, Some virus programs may write their names in this file and which causes automatic execution of Virus programs whenever you connect the media device. This may happen if you connect your media into a virus infected PC.

So there is no problem for opening this file and checking which files have the permission to execute automatically. The majority of software installation CDs and pen drives used “autorun. inf” file for running their .exe file automatically.

Is multi OS makes PC Slower?

Another most common myth is, Having two or more Operating Systems in a computer will makes the system slower and this is not true. You could have as much as the OS on your PC and it will not cause your PC performance.

Windows and Ubuntu

People may think, if there is two or more OS, RAM (Random Access Memory) may be shared shared for both OS.

One Operating System is allowed at a time and hence PC performance, or RAM allocation will not be shared with other OS. You could install as much OS you need (with a consideration of Hard Disk space).

Did you know about any other cyber myths? Do comment it below.
