Adsense For Feeds

Just checked my AdSense account and delighted to see AdSense for Feeds enabled on it.

Google brought FeedBurner, there is no automatic way to integrate AdSense and Feedburner. This has to be done manually by AdSense support team.Like AdSense for Content, ads in feed are also contextual in nature. So I am expecting nice revenue from this AdSense for Feeds program.
I think bloggers with full text feeds will get more benefit as their posts will have more text to target. Start code -->

Now SMS Notification Of Scraps

Orkut launched one of the most awaited feature - Notification via SMS. This feature let you receive new scrap notifications, get friend info, and more from your mobile device.

Just go to http://www.orkut.co.in/MobileSetupSettings.aspx and you will see option to specify your mobile number to receive notifications.

Also check out SMS commands page for SMS orkutting. I think SMS command will work only in Brazil.

As of now this new feature is available in India and Brazil only. Moreover in India. Aircel, BPL, MTNL, Reliance, Spice and Tata networks are supported.

Do not forget to check price details for your carrier as this service may cost you some bucks.

Recover Your Deleted Orkut Community

First if your community still exists and in your control, better add a co-owner for your community.

Next comes scenario where your community is deleted by mistake or by someone who has access to your account.

There is a form on Orkut which you can fill up for mistakenly deleted communities. I am not sure if this still works as it is quite old. Also I am not sure if it will work if someone first transfer your community to other account and then delete it

Please note the difference, if someone with access to your account deletes your community directly, it can count as a mistakenly deleted community.

Also for filing request to undelete your community you will need to specify a link to it. So please save a link to your community at some place which you can easily access.

You can get link to your community by opening it in a browser. When its opened, address bar will show community link only.What if I do not have community link ?

The only think matters is your community ID. Rest URL is always same like http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=[SOME_NUMBER]

* So do you remember a number after cmm in its link like 19587001 in above example?
* Or have you ever posted any link related to your community like link to a topic, poll, etc in any scrap or on web. Then try to find that link and find number after “cmm=”.
* Or used orkutfeeeds to subscribe to your community or any topic from it? In this case you can find cmm=ID in your feed reader. Just go through read items.
* Or just try searching your community using Orkut’s search feature. If it has recently deleted then it may show up in search results there.
* Have your ever saved your community logo on your PC? If yes then try to find that image. If you haven’t renamed it, it will have name like .jpg (ex: 19587001.jpg)

If you can’t obtain your community id, then you cannot request orkut to undelete it.Start code -->
