Google Ads on wordpress.com blogs

I did a google search for bmtc volvo on google to reach my post http://indiareviews.wordpress.com/2006/08/07/bmtc-volvo-buses/

To my surprise, I found google ads both on top of the page and at the bottom of the page..

I thought it was just the wordpress guys (matt and others) testing some new ads platform.. i thought it could be exciting.. coz the WP guys usually come out with some really cool stuff.. I wanted to know if any posts on their ads model already out there..

Then to my surprise, I found matt’s post “on ads“:

We very occassionally show Adsense (contextual text ads) on post and tag pages. Why? To allow us to focus on free features in addition to paid and to offset costs of rapidly rising traffic.

These were relevant ads on volvo and bangalore, unlike others who got nasty ads..

Woohoo, 100000 hits for IndiaReviews..

Guess the (paintbrushed) image says it all..

Happy New Year Folks !!

Hope you succeed in finally finding the happiness you always were seeking this year..

Hmm.. 2008 New Year’s Resolution: Must post more often..

Yahoo India’s cool new Page!

Yahoo India has an awesome new feature. It has a city specific portal that aggregates from the best of yahoo and affiliates into one single page. I have come to know of it today and am impressed. Like a lot of things these days, this also works based on tags. And there are some interesting tags abounding. It also has stuff from Wiki – like an intro to Bangalore for example, and photos, blogs, news items – even travel information. All in all its a page that is tremendously because it takes content from the locals – and presents information in a very accessible way to anyone wishing to know about the city. The site’s at http://in.ourcity.yahoo.com/
