New Power Saving Search Engine By Google

April 14, 2008 at 5:37 am (Gadgets, Google, New Technologies) (, , )

Google is the second Brain to many of us. We use it frequently. It uses
white screen which consumes higher power.

Read the following?

“If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page
views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be
saved?!!!!!

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called
Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously
with lower energy consumption:
Help spread the word.. Use ” www.blackle.com“…

Earning Money Through Online Ads

September 16, 2007 at 6:05 pm (Gadgets, Google)

What do a person do for making money other than income ?

option 1 – Investing In Stocks

option 2 – Side Job

option 3 – Investment In Property

Well first and last option needs capital and side job needs extra time. If I suggest you an idea that needs no time or investment.. Well this is it. The thing is to place ads on your website / page and get payed on the number of clicks you make on them.

Log on to www.google.com/adsense. After making an account, you can get the code with you corresponding ID at adsense setup. Get the code and paste with html code in your website. The code contains scripting which sends the data in the site to google engine and gets back the ads relevant to that.

Those ads get placed in the location & you start earning on each click on them. Once you make 100 $ or more, you can ask for payment and you will get the cheque at your doorstep.

Caution : Google has technology to track that the clicks on the site are through global visitors and not by a single person. So, if you will try to increase click count by yourself, the service me be discontinued. :-)

Some free web hosting sites are -

www.freespaces.com, www.freewebs.com

So, get going…. :-)
