Sify too joins the Adwords bandwagon

Several sections of the Sify.com portal too have now started displaying Google Adwords ads.

Yes. This is indeed getting monotonous. But, nevertheless, is very good news for advertisers.

Indiainfo.com is also on the Adwords network

Indiainfo.com (didn't know they were still around, after all the negative PR!!) too has joined the Google Adwords network.

Good for them. And for us, advertisers!

Rediff's Google Adwords ads don't appear on Mozilla

The Google Adwords ads on the Rediff web site do not appear when the site is accessed using the Mozilla web browser. I'm able to see the ads fine when accessing via Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The Adwords also appear fine on the IndiaTimes.com and other Indian web sites--including when accessing with Mozilla. So, this problem is pecular to Rediff.

I 've written about the problem to both Rediff as well as the Google Adwords support team.

Hope they fix it soon.

Rediff begins to run Google Ads on Indian site as well

Rediff has started to serve Google Adwords ads across its Indian web site (http://in.rediff.com) as well--after initially experimenting with them on just its US web site (http://us.rediff.com)

Great news for Indian advertisers!!

Will Google's Bangalore center help Indian keyword advertisers?

As you might have read, Google has announced that it would be setting up a direct presence in India in 2004.

Though Google, at this stage, has talked only about setting up an engineering R&D center (in Bangalore), the announcement augurs well for Indian users of its Adwords service. With a direct presence in India, Google might look at offering pricing in ruppees--which will lower the cost of clicks for local advertisers.

Logically, Google would also think of using India as a base for supporting Adwords advertisers worldwide.

Here's extending a very warm welcome to one of the greatest companies of our times.
