Google India Offers Free Advertising Coupons to Attract Small Advertisers

Google India is giving away free AdWords coupons to businesses who own a website but have never used the Google platform before to advertise their website on the Internet.

Google will provide website owners with advertising coupons worth a certain value for free that they may use to advertise their site on Google search results pages and on external sites that run Google AdSense ads (like Digital Inspiration).

Get Free AdWords Coupons Worth $50

If you are a small or media business owner based in India who also has a website, here’s how you can request Google for free AdWords coupons:

1. Call Google India at this number – 1860 266 6622. (see update below)

2. Register your website with the Google AdWords India platform by providing details about your business and your contact information.

3. The Google India representative will now set up your AdWords account.

Google will also credit INR 2,500.00 worth of advertising coupons to your AdWords account that you may later use for advertising your business on Google pages as well as other non-Google sites on the web.

In addition to free coupons, you’ll also get customer support for one month to help you manage you online advertising campaigns.

This move will probably help Google attract advertisers in India who have small budgets but have never experimented with online advertising before. They can now try the AdWords system without spending a penny and, if the outcome is positive, they’ll continue to do so even after they’ve redeemed all the free coupons.

It looks like a very straight-forward process but I have not been able to test it since my site is already registered with the AdWords system.

Update A: I just called up this number and the gentleman at the other end suggested that I send Google India office in Mumbai a check for at least Rs 10,000.00 so that they can setup my AdWords account.

When I asked him for free coupons (as mentioned in Google’s press release), he said that the coupons will added to my account the next month only after they receive the initial amount from me.

Now that’s definitely not in line with the information that I received from Google’s PR company. The original email said – "All small businesses with an online presence will be able to avail Rs 2500/- worth of advertising coupons by just calling the number 1860266 6622 and registering their websites with Google India Ad Words platform"

Update B: Google has confirmed that "there was some communication error by the agent". You don’t have to send them a check in advance but the offer does require you to deposit an activation fee to avail the free AdWords coupon from Google India.

Here are the full terms and conditions according to an email from Google’s PR.

Advertisers with self-managed signup accounts are subject to a Rs. 250 account activation fee. Prepay customers must deposit Rs. 500 into their account for activation. Offer expires on 30th Nov, 2009.

Promotional credit must be applied to a new AdWords account within 14 days of creating the AdWords account and is valid only for new Google AdWords customers with self-managed signup accounts. Advertisers will be charged for advertising that exceeds the promotional credit.

Advertisers will need to suspend their ads if they do not wish to receive additional charges beyond the free credit amount. Subject to ad approval, valid registration and acceptance of the Google AdWords Program standard terms and conditions. The promotional credit is non-transferable and may not be sold or bartered. Offer may be revoked at any time for any reason by Google Inc. One promotional credit per customer. Offer void where prohibited by law.

Fake Facebook e-mail contains Trojan

A new variant of the Bredolab Trojan horse is attached to a fake "Facebook Password Reset Confirmation" e-mail, security firm MX Labs is reporting.

Some users are receiving the e-mail from "The Facebook Team," according to the security firm. The sender's e-mail address displays "service@facebook.com." In reality, the address and sender were spoofed.

MX Labs found that the e-mail was accompanied by an attachment named, "Facebook_Password_4cf91.zip and includes the file Facebook_Password_4cf91.exe" that, the e-mail claims, contains the user's new Facebook password. The security firm said that the element between the underscore and .zip are randomly chosen letters and numbers for each recipient.

When a user downloads the file, it could wreak havoc on their computer. MX Labs said in a blog post that the Trojan horse Bredolab "executes files from the Internet, such as rogue anti-spyware. To bypass firewalls, it injects its own code into legitimate processes svchost.exe and explorer.exe. Bredolab contains anti-sandbox code (the trojan might quit itself when an external program investigates its actions)." In other words, it's nasty.

Once it makes its way to the user's PC, Bredolab creates "%AppData%\wiaservg.log" and "%Programs%\Startup\isqsys32.exe" in the user's system files. MX Labs said that it also creates two new processes, called "isqsys32.exe" and "svchost.exe."

Another security watchdog, M86 Security, wrote that there's more to the outbreak than Bredolab. After it sneaks its way onto the user's computer, M86 said, Bredolab downloads a bot called Pushdo. The company found that Pushdo immediately starts "spamming out more of these Facebook password reset e-mails."

For its part, Facebook was quick to point out that the e-mail containing the virus wasn't coming from the social network.

"This virus is being distributed through email, not on Facebook," a Facebook spokesperson wrote. "The email is disguised as a Facebook password reset e-mail with an attachment that purportedly contains the new password, but is actually the virus. We're educating users on how to detect this through the Facebook Security Page."

Facebook said that users should be "suspicious of unexpected emails claiming to be from Facebook." The company also said that it will never send users a new password as an attachment.

Those users that have downloaded the file should use anti-malware software to remove it. Click here for a list of security software available from CNET's Download database.

Firefox gains 30 million users in eight weeks

Mozilla's open-source Firefox browser has gained 30 million users over the past eight weeks, as it continues to gain on Internet Explorer.

Chief Executive John Lilly revealed the increase in user adoption in a Twitter post on Monday, and Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, confirmed it to ZDNet UK on Tuesday.

"We've seen a significant increase in the number of users for Firefox," Nitot said. "Firefox checks for new versions every 24 hours, when it's running, and when it checks, it pings the Mozilla server. We count the number of pings."

Honda Aviator 110 introduced

Honda two wheelers today introduced its new product Honda Aviator that is powered by 110cc engine. The company launched it in two variants- Honda Aviator 110cc and Honda Aiator Deluxe. This is the second scooter launch by Honda in the year. The company unveiled new Honda Activa a few months back in India. New Honda Aviator is loaded with the same mill that is present in Activa. The new gearless scooter is equipped with 110cc powertrain and belts out 8 bhp of peak power at 7500 rpm and churns a maximum torque of 9 Nm at 5500 rpm. The same combi brakes system and key shutter system are borrowed from the Activa to New Aviator. Honda Aviator is priced at Rs 42,000 and Honda Aviator Deluxe's price tag is Rs 47,000 in Delhi. The new Aviator is priced Rs 6,000 higher than the Honda Activa but proves its worth.

The scooter will be available in five shades- Monsoon Gray Metallic, Rebel Red Metallic, Pearl Heron Blue, Orange Metallic and pearl Black.
Honda launched a new version of Aviator due to recent launches by Mahindra- Mahindra Duro and Mahindra Rodeo. The scooter is available in five stunning hues viz., Pearl Igneour Black, Berry Purple, Monsoon Gray, Space Silver and Rebel Red. Honda Aviator is already there with front disc brakes. On the other hand, Royal Enfield is expected to roll out its Royal Enfield Bullet Classic in the first week of November.
