Google's Strategic Placement of Ads

If you are like me, and use Gmail I am sure you would have accidentally clicked Google Ads placed just upon the "Back to Inbox" link. Since I am also an advertiser, every time I accidentally click on a sponsored ad, I go "Ouch" as I didn't really intend to click on the ads.

But, in the process of this little accident, the advertiser lost money, and Google made money. I am not saying this is a scam, but this is a very strategic placement of ads because of these reasons:
1. The ads are relevant to the email I just opened.

Education, in my 5 Words
Raakesh's 5 words for Education
GIVING YOURSELF OPTIONS IN LIFE

While we are all busy with our life, struggling, working hard, to achieve our goals in life, let's not forget how Education has helped us in getting to where we are today. Imagine yourself without education. There are millions of children in the world who are growing up without any education. You know how difficult it is to survive in this competitive world without proper education. Let's think about those children and see how we could help them.

There is no doubt that to be successful in life, you need to be very hard working. But Education plays a very important role in our life as:

- Education gives us the ability to learn, to know, and to understand.
- Education gives us the power to determine what is right, and what is wrong.
- Education gives us the tool and ability to perform far more advanced and complex tasks.
- Education gives us an opportunity to live our life as we want
- Education allows us to live our life, with dignity and respect.

New Test: Drupal + RSS = Relevant Content

I like to do a lot of testing of various objects before I start using them on my own projects. I have been playing with RSS a lot lately and believe me, I am totally stunned to see how well Drupal handles RSS.

I have used Drupal CMS for a long time now, and actually this site was the first site I migrated from handcoded PHP / MySQL / HTML to Drupal. After seeing a huge traffic (Organic Search Traffic) benefit on Drupal, I migrated a lot of my sites to Drupal and started using Drupal more and more for new projects.

How to Add Podcasts to Google Listen?

I already wrote an article about Google Listen for Android Community. Now I want to tell you how to make an RSS (XML) file for your podcasts so that you could submit that to Apple iTunes for iPhone and iPod users, as well as use the same RSS file to subscribe to your podcasts using Google Listen.

Google Listen does not have a way for us (podcast makers) to submit our podcasts to Google's podcast directory, but we can add it to our phones (Android Phones) and subscribe.
