Google AdSense vs Bidvertiser

There are 2 Pay Per Click Advertising programs often go head to head Google AdSense vs Bidvertiser in a battle for the winner. Most of the people sure know about Google Adsense, it’s the block of ads and very popular on all types of websites over the Internet.

Both have a good anti-click fraud system to ensure that the publisher and advertiser are safe by detecting IP address and blocking too many clicks from one IP.

Why I Quit Bidvertiser?

After 7 months using Bidvertiser program, finally I’ve make decision to quit and now Google AdSense is my first choice.

Many people believe that Bidvertiser is the new contender looking to overthrow Google AdSense as number one advertiser. But, I have different saying here, the things that makes me feel unsatisfied about Bidvertiser are the relevancy of advertising, slower loading scripts and lack of advertisers.

In the other words, Google AdSense ads are based on the content of your site, so if your site has a rich content basically it would generate relevant ads.

In addition, I personally feel that Google AdSense control panel is more user friendly since it uses easy to understand wording. And, creating an ad unit involves fewer steps and it’s in sequential process.

Good Points of Bidvertiser

How If Maybank Cash Deposit Machine Spoilt While Depositing Money Halfway ?

Maybank Cash Deposit Machine

1 of my reader went to deposit some money into the Maybank Cash Deposit Machine during nighttime. However, after putting his money in, the machine will display the error message “This machine is temporarily out of service”. This word of “Temporary” does not give assurance to Maybank customer because it does not give clear instruction on what to do? It is so frustrating!

What Should Do If Your Money Stuck In Cash Deposit Machine?

If it is the case, then for sure you will have many questions flashed across your mind, am I right? What should you do? Firstly, do not panic, you must look for phone number to call. You can call this number 1300 88 6688. Call and wait for customer service to respond. After that, they will assure you that the machine will need manual intervention and the money should be safety. Haha…It’s like that…

So, you must go to bank report tomorrow and sign one form and they will ask when and what time you use the machine. However, if your case is real, then the money will be deposited into your account on the same day.

Still Worry Even Make A Call To Maybank Customer Service?

Fantastic Offer With New DiGi DG30 Postpaid Plan !!!

Digi Postpaid Plan

DiGi has launched its New DG30 Postpaid Plan. If you are looking for the lowest postpaid plan with zero access fees in Malaysia, then this is a smartest choice for you. The new postpaid plan has been launched since 19th May 2009 and it just replaces DG20 Postpaid Plan, which was their previous lowest DiGi Postpaid Plan.

DG30 Vs DG20 Postpaid Plan

Previously, DG20 Postpaid Plan was a subscription based plan whereby RM20 is charged for access fee and call usage are charged separately. Now with DG30 Postpaid Plan, the RM30/month is actually commitment that you can use.

Let us compare DG30 and DG20 to see the major differences:

Digi DG30 Postpaid Plan

i. Zero Access Fee

DG20 Monthly Fee: RM20 (Access Fee = RM20, Talk Time Rebate = RM0)
DG30 Monthly Fee: RM30 (Access Fee = RM0, Talk Time Rebate = RM30)

ii. Lower SMS Rates

DG20 charges RM0.15/SMS
DG30 charges RM0.10/SMS, RM0.20/MMS

iii. Same Voice Call Rates

Both DG20 and DG30 charge RM0.20 per minute. As usual, calls are charged at 30 seconds block.

If you are still a DiGi Prepaid user and spend almost RM30/month, then it is a great time to switch DiGi prepaid plan to DiGi Postpaid Plan. You can enjoy better rates and only RM0.20/minute for all calls across all networks.

Save Money & Save The Earth By Reusing Plastic Bag

Yes…It’s no doubt plastic bags can create rubbish & not environmental friendly. I am looking forward to see Penang as the first state in the country to practice such good move to combat against climate change.

From what I had read from newspaper:

Lim Guan Eng, Penang Chief Ministry who is also a trained accountant,
stated that the local councils had spent about RM57.6 million,
nearly a third of its income in year 2007, to pay for garbage disposal!!!

Huh…I can’t imagine that!!!

Also, it produces between 1,500 to 1,600 tonnes of garbage per day,
which is about 1kg per person.

Just think about that, why not we reduce the amount of consumption? To recycle requires cost, so by reducing the consumption, we could save our money as well.
