Its been raining heavily all over south India for the past 2 weeks. And still I cant sleep without an AC. Outside its coooool, must be 21 or 22 degrees, and my ac is at 22 too, and the compresser isnt running most of the time. I could just settle for the fan, but Im still wanting the AC for some reason.

It must be psychological, or a need for dry air. AC sucks out all the moisture when the compressor is running. I drink a lot of water when Im in an air conditioned room, and I dont feel that need when Im outside biking in the Sun. People are supposed to be drinking more water when they are out in the Sun, but I happen to be drinking more when Im inside an AC room.

It would he hard to believe for most people. But thats what Im doing. This is because when the AC sucks out all the humidity from the air, the air that we brethe out has some moisture, is also being sucked out, and when we brethe in dry air, the water content of the body reduces naturally, and we become thirsty, and we drink water. Thats the logic.

On this rainy night, I find that the AC is taking no strain in sucking the heat inside and passing it out to the water cooled sun shade outside. Still, it is a waste of power.

I prefer adbrite these days on sites where there is a lot of traffic. Cos adbrite pays you for impressions while adsnese pays you only for clicks. Google keeps all the money that it charges its clients for impressions for itself while adbrite shares it with you. It has to be shared, as after all, the ads are being displayed on your site.

If you have about 1000 visits a day and if about 10 people manage to click on an ad, you could make about $5 a day, and if the same 1000 visitors give you some 10,000 pageviews, even if they dont click on an ad, you will get about $2 for the impressions per day from adbrite. And if they click on something, you will get more money. Apart from this, adbrite gives you a few other options such as monetizing on the images that you might have on your site, and highlighting keywords on your posts and making them into links, and displaying full page ads. All these add value to the revenue that you generate.

So if you have a site that you have purely made to monetize, I would recommend that you use adbrite, and use adsense only in places where you think there will be more clicks than impressions

I dont know how google’s spiders missed webaholics.co.in. How come? Thsi domain has been around for the past 3 years, and has got a blog for about 4 months. And google couldnt index it untill I submitted it. WordPress is supposed to be a very effective seo blog software. It takes care of all seo services by itself, and has got all sorts of pinging services built in.

Even a week after it was submitted to seach engines (thanks to google who have already indexed about 10 pages), has not indexed the site fully.

Can anyone help me get it indexed better so that I can drive more traffic to the site and make more money from it? Since there is no traffic as of now, I dont see any point in placing any ads on the site at all.

With the rise of podcasting, many individuals and

organizations are finding that podcasting is a great way

to distribute information, from music and comedy

shows to talk shows, even podcast news. CNET is one

of the groups that is distributing a news podcast. CNET,

being an online technology site, naturally found a niche

distributing a tech news related podcast. CNET’s recent

podcasts covered such topics as viruses that attack cell

phones, problems with Google’s software, China’s web

restrictions and the “Great Firewall of China”, and the

FTC’s attack on spyware. These news items were

distributed in a sound file called an mp3 file that is

downloadable to a listener’s computer for listening

whenever they wish. While these files were available

straight from CNET’s site, the majority of them are

shared through the use of an RSS file. An RSS file is a

small piece of XML coding that is downloadable by

programs designed to read it. These programs are called

podcast clients, and the user can input the address of the

RSS files that hold the information on the feed. The

feed will contain links to the media files of the podcast,

and will download the new updates automatically.

More sites than CNET are finding that podcast news is

an expoitable technology. The British Broadcasting

Corporation podcasts some of it’s programs, as well as

the US radio network NPR. The NPR, because its work

is created by a variety of different groups, treats

podcasts differently from show to show. The NPR show

“This American Life” distributes a podcast of the show

through a site called audible.com, which allows feed

listeners to subscribe to the feed for a small fee and

download the show . The NPR Hourly News show, on

the other hand, shares a short 5 minute broadcast that

summarizes the news for free. Since the NPR is taking a

radio show and converting it into a file that is

downloadable by the user, little is lost in the translation.

The sound is designed to convey the entire story, and so

podcast subscribers are able to treate the podcast as

nothing more than TIVO for the radio. ABC’s podcast

of the news show Nightline, on the other hand, is

simply the sound track from the television show. This

has been one of the criticisms of the Nightline podcast,

because by merely stripping the sound from what is

designed as a television show, much information is not

given to the users. Listeners have problems telling who

is who because they miss the visual cues that were

supposed to be there, and there is no truly easy way to

convert the shows. For this reason, some news shows

have been moving from audio podcasts to video ones.

They can take the video information directly from the

show that is broadcast, lower the visual resolution to

shrink the file, and distribute it online as a podcast.
