Google Interviews Erin

[awhig]

yeah on that. I read the article , intresting. Never new AdSense is good especially its feature to post ads based on context. i agree with you too on text based ads . They are less distracting than those you find specailly in DAP. ( Ads flashing all the time and animations are annoying).

It's not so hard to get a website up, but would you mind if we had that discussion in another thread? I'll be happy to give some pointers, but I'd like to stay on topic here. I'm funny that way.

And what's "DAP"?

Well, one reason why Google has done so well with its AdSense program is that webmasters have embraced them.

DAP is Download Accelerator Plus. I gave it as an example where i find animated ads and flashing icons that look irriitating.

Yes we can have this tech. discussion in some other thread and would feel happy if you give pointers.
Thanks.

I had registered for the Adsense program last year and incorporated the adverstisements on our school's IEEE website.
IMO, Adsense is a very good revenue option but one can't fully depend on it.

Cheers!

As for revenue... I think you'll understand that I prefer not to discuss these things. I can tell you, though, that I've been running TestMagic since 1998, and for the majority of that time, I made little to no revenue. If profit had been my motive in creating TestMagic, I would have abandoned it long ago. However, I'm here for very different reasons, so I've stuck with it.

I hope you guys will all stick around, too. I've got some big plans for the spring and summer as I continue my quest to make TestMagic #1 in what it does. It'll be a while before I can catch up to the big guys (BusinessWeek, USNews, etc.), but no harm in trying!

Thanks for the reply Erin. I understand your point about not being able to discuss publicly these things....

Anyway just wants to thank you for a wonderful forum. I plan to be here for a long long time....

And yes this forum will be #1 (I think it already is)..... no doubt about that....

Erin, I thought you were a girl. The Google interview calls you a "he". Btw, congratulations on the article.

Your title aka username reminds me of an English movie. Is this true?

Oh yes, ahwig, that is an English movie - my favorite.
HumTum in Hindi is kind of based on that.
But is Erin not a girl's name?

[awhig]

Yeah sure , Erin is not a girl. confusions do happen at times!!!!!!!!!!!
