Google... the inspiration...




"Sergey Brin"... sounds familiar??? "Larry Page"... sounds even more familiar???.. Yes, you have guessed it right... I'm talking about Google.. I can say it as the most influential company of modern era... The company has coined a new english word "google" to the english dictionary.. You can say "google" is the synonym of "search".Almost all netizens use google on everyday basis... At the age of 35, the cofounders (Sergey and Larry) are billionaires.. Have you ever thought how the company generates money?? No company can make this huge amount of money in such a short span of time by simply selling a product... When they started the company back in 1998, they had only one product with them i.e google web site... They knew that their product is solid and robust... So, they came up with a new idea for their revenue model... called "sponsored link".. Let me take this opportunity to say something about "sponsored link"... But before proceeding, wish all of you a very happy Diwali...

Sponsored Link

Google also generates its revenue through ads only... but in a different way.. You'll not find any banner ad in google's site.. it is against their rule... instead they give the ads through sponsored link...Let us understand what a sponsored link is all about.. Suppose you own an Indian restaurant (for your business) and you want to give its ad through Google.. and the speciality of your restaurant is fish curry. You want to highlight this part for your restaurant... Then make your key word as "fish curry" and give it to google. So, anyone who will search with the key word "fish curry" in google, your sponsored link will be displayed in the sponsored link area of google page... if the searching guy clicks on the sponsored link (it will redirect the page to your actual ad) then only you need to pay for your ad.. Before that point you need not pay anything to google... So, this marketing strategy is win - win situation for both google and the customer... So, the funda is that, if anyone visits your ad then only you need to pay the money... this is not like the banner ad... that whether anyone sees your ad or not you need to pay the money...

Bottom line... always think and act for the betterment of the customer.. If customer is happy then the service provider will be happier...

Thanks,

Prior to the existance of Google there were many search engines name it like the Yahoo,Open Text,The Google of its day,Alta Vista,etc...Ironically, Google is now the oldest of the "new" players that has taken over from the old.By many different measures, it is today's the most popular search engine in use.

Here goes a famous quote very rightly said , “Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas,
but the courage that one has to
bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.” And this is what the pioneers of Google did by making Google simple,fast,easy and user friendly.
Since Google embodies within it the mastery of simplicity,i.e creativity and even
the mastery of complexity,i.e technical skill ,so they stand for where they are today.

“Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found”.So, in the long run Google has succeeded but nobody knows there might be new breeds in creation to sweep the market ,may be a "new" player or Google itself.Time will speak of it.Just wait and watch since technology is vast and ideas have no limits...

Cheers,
Annie.

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he

Chase your passion...

Do you have some passion that you always wanted to do since your childhood??? Yes, I know we all have.. but we don't dare to chase it.. Because in India, we think only doctors and engineers are well respected in the society.. Hence, at any cost we have to become either a doctor or an engineer... Therefore, if you want to become a sports person or a singer or a dancer or a writer etc.. it's not allowed.. So, you sacrifice your area of interest and succumb to the pressure from society and put all your effort to become what your society want you to become.. Ok.. Now you have lived all most half of your life.. and somewhat successful (in career) by seeing your current stature..Your half of the life has gone by... in fulfilling other's wishes and their dreams.. Suddenly you realize that you have never lived for yourself.. I think this is the best time to invest on yourself... to chase your own passion.. to do something that you always wanted to do... I know we all are living a r

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue
