Plenty of Indians are using adsense to make money online from their websites and blogs so I felt to write down a beginners FAQ for Indian people who are still new to adsense and are wondering how things works.

Q. When will I get my PIN number ?
A. It takes normally 3 to 5 weeks for checks to reach you. Google send the PIN to confirm your address and if you are living in some distant place in India, say rural places where the postal service is not that good, you may never the the PIN. If you don’t get the PIN in 8 weeks, change your address to your relatives address and contact google again reissuing the PIN.

After writing how to register .co.in and .in domains post I felt to write another post on them to tell the difference between them and which of them is better.

.co.in stands for country India and is a second level tld (top level domain) where as .in stands for India and is a top level domain. Earlier .co.in were popular but nowdays I see more and more people choosing .in domains over .co.in for ease of remembering them.

If you are looking to register .in and .co.in domains through godaddy, you are after a surprise, as most of teh international registrars like godaddy, enom do not offer registeration of .in and .co.in domains due to them being india specific unlike generic .com, .org, .info etc

So if you want to buy .in or .co.in domains, you need to contact some indian registrar. Now there are few big players in the domain registering market and many small players which are just resellers and if you are looking for a really good Indian domain seller you might want to give a try to IndiaLinks which are one of the premium domain sellers in India, specially if you want to purchase .in and .co.in tld extensions.

If you are looking for live streaming of IPL matches you can look at this link or this link (currently down) where various posters along with owners post live working TVU, sopcast, flash and OCX streaming links of IPL matches.

These sites are also useful for not only IPL for other cricket streaming links too.

I barely gets any time to watch television as I spend my most of the time online and to be honest, I am not a great fan of what is being shown on Indian television either, but a so called news channel India TV is taking the concept of sensational journalism to totally new level.

India TV channel it seems only shows bogus news with absolutely no credentials and other channel like aaj tak, CNN IBN which are more into infotainment, India TV leaves them far behind with programs which are a joke with no base. They seems to cook up news stories too in news room instead of going out as probably making stories sitting in AC rooms is a better thing then to go out and take interview and to real journalism work like others used to do.

If you are looking to make a fixed deposit account in bank like HDFC, ICICI or any other private or even public banks like SBI, you may like to think twice as the current interest rates are around 8% as compared to 10% previous year. Also with the interest coming under tax deduction, this whole putting money in fixed deposit thing don’t’ make lot of sense, you may be better of investing money in real estate right now as prices are low and you can get good deal currently.

Anyway if you still want to open a fixed deposit bank account, I will advice you to go with HDFC bank because they are the once offering highest interest rates of 8.25% per year. ICICI is offering around 8% interest rate but the premature withdrawal fine is alot less in HDFC as compared to ICICI.

Being an ex software engineer, I know cricinfo and many such sites are blocked in offices so employees don’t keep on checking them every now and then during IPL and when other cricket series are going on. So if you want to check instant cricket score, you can use google search as it also gives cricket scores of live games

Just Open Google.com and type “Cricket” or “Cricket India” and you should be able to see google showing scorecard of any live cricket match taking place.
