New Address for Resultrix HO

So Its practically (unofficially) One Year that we have started Resultrix and guess what is the Birthday Gift. . . Its a brand new office at Andheri (w), Mumbai and so our head office has a new address.

eBay blocks Google's Checkout

eBay has blocked customers from using Google's recently launched online payments service, Checkout.

They (eBay) say its becuase Google products doesn't meet the security recquirment and so its a protective measure , , , but i guess we can make out why this has been done :)

lets see if Google takes any corrective measure against its one of the biggest adwords advertiser i.e. eBay

Other payment services blocked by the internet auctioneer include e-gold, fastcash.com and Rupay.com.

anticipated Google Ad scheduling is finally here

Google now allows you to schedule exactly when your AdWords run.

With this ad scheduling (aka “dayparting”), you can also “automatically modify ... bids based on time-of-day and day-of-week cycles in campaign performance.”

Lets see how to do it , , ,

(1) First locate the campaign/s you want to set up for ad scheduling. You will see a "New" word in red, that is the ad scheduling option.

(2) Click on "Turn on ad scheduling" ad you will be asked to confirm your time zone, once again. Please set your correct time zone.

(3) Moving to the Ad Scheduling page, this is what the basic ad scheduling page looks.



(4) Scheduling things up and then moved on to test out the "advanced mode" to set up the customised bids.

That is it . . . .

New Image Ads Format

Two New Image ads options on Google’s AdSense ad formats page.

A graphic Square (250x250) and a graphic Large Rectangle (336x280), both previously available as text options.

PS : I think Google made an error on the Adformat page, as they call both new graphic options “Medium Rectangle".

Google API to charge for usage

Google has decided to start charging on a per-use basis for its API interface, with effect from July1, 2006.

Previously, Google made its API available for free, but limited usage based on the amount of ad dollars being managed. Under the new system, developers will be charged 25 cents per 1,000 times the API is used to call data.

Effect on us : untill we are using bid managment softwares, or calling the data once/twice an hour.
