Babycenter using my domain name in Google Adwords!
This evening while preparing a SEO proposal for one of the clients, I checked my website kidsandbibs.com keyword rankings as well as site indexing and other related results. One of my search allinurl:www.kidsandbibs.com on Google showed me this result.
The top sponsored result was from babycenter.in and they had used my exact domain name as one of their keywords. I went and searched through Google’s Adwords and Adsense policy and they have strictly mentioned that it is not allowed. I do own all the trademark for my website names, domain names.
I am wondering what should be done in such cases. I am going to write to Google also. These days the traffic seems to be less compared to previous months and I was thinking that it may be just because of the after holiday effect.
Have you ever come across any such incidents? I would love to hear from other webmasters.
Happy New Year!
Well, it is still January and I have the liberty of saying Happy New Year atleast till the month ends. I am sorry for not posting here. New year is a time when we allmake resolutions however we hardly follow our resolutions. So this year, I have not made any resolutions, however I just want to organize myself, organzie my schedules and above all, I plan to do what I enjoy.
And these days I am enjoying the company of all the smart moms on Rocketmoms, so I left behind all my online tasks, my websites(which are all yelling at me for an UPDATE) and my blogs. The company of Rocketmom is great. I have created two lenses for the Session 12 Challenge and both the lenses are awesome. I mean, I am so happy with them and also people have loved them.

I am occupied!
Sorry for not posting in the last few months. I was very very busy and I know this will continue for a few more months. I have been quiet occupied with the arrival of a new baby. And after 7 years, becoming mom again is like a new experience all over again.. feeding, changing diapers and it seems that my daily routine is just limited to these duties but I am not complaining. I am enjoying each and every moment:)
Well on the income front, last months were quite good. An account of mine on TVIExpress cycled out and I saw the email lying in my inbox, when I was busy cleaning up the inbox folder. There was another good surprise from Squidoo.com and one of my lens got good popularity and it started earning. I have been now getting regular income from Squidoo, so it has somehow encouraged me to make new lenses and climb the levels in the SQUIDWorld and these days,I am busy earning points. I have also taken their Squidboo challenge and created 5 halloween lenses.

Social Media and Marketing
… plays a very very important role in today’s world.
I have been using facebook since a long time and out of curiosity i had also created fan pages for my sites. But i never paid much attention to it, till a few weeks ago when i came across so many articles and posts related to facebook pages. So i decided to start fresh and use the facebook fan page to market the site. Infact i went ahead, created ads also with daily budget of xx$ ( they have the option of paying in INR also), but i was so eager to get it going, i just went ahead with the USD currency. So far the page is doing good.. every monday i get an update on my cell and my email, about the dollars being spent for the week. Well most of the ad spend is recovered through the contest entry fees and i am happy with the reach of this social media.
When it comes to marketing, i think the best(not sure.. maybe the most popular) online marketing medium is Google Adwords. So one night while checking out my web statistics and with a few adwords coupon code in hand, i planned to run a few ad campaigns on Google too. Was browsing the web for Google Adwords guide and landed on this famous ebook of Perry Marshall and without thinking twice, i went ahead and purchased the ebook. So far i have not yet opened the ebook to read the contents 
.. i am an impulsive buyer. I did read a few pages of other ebooks he gives with this purchase and was reading about the BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTENT WRITERS and COPYWRITERS.
To update about my Shaadi.com reward points, yes i did get my cheque from them, 2 weeks after the courier was sent to me, in the 3rd week of May. When i enquired, why the courier was taking so long to reach me, i was told that the area where i reside is beyond their limits… i was wondering.. which courier service they are using as i stay very near to this famous german bakery(it became more famous after the recent bomb blast) in pune.
On the personal front, well i have been just busy putting on more weight… so the official work and blogging has taken a back-seat.
