Google Adwords:My Terrible Experience

Just a month I have decided to start a new Search Engine Marketing (SEM)  as the part of my money blogging campaign and I have signup for the Google Adwords account with $50 free Adwords Credit  given my HostGator Web Hosting account.  Then my terrible experience starts

Google’s Terms of Use and Arrival of coupon code

Daily Booth: 18/6 - Google AdWords + £50 + Ran...

When we are subscribing the adwords account they are creating the account with zero account balance and sent the free adwords credit used while signup in the form of coupon code (custom coupon code) send through mail. Yes it reached me on my destination but the problem starts here.

Google adwords term of use says the coupon code should be used within 15 days after the Adwords account has been created. But the coupon code reached me after 30 days of the account has been created. I have checked the letter posted that and its says it was posted within 3 days so it arrived promptly ( There is no mistake did in delivery of mail) but the problem is the mail posted after my Adwors coupon code trail time  has been expired!

What makes this nonsense with Google?

Is Google really doesn’t want the clients to redeem this coupon code?

If the whole process is completely automated then what makes the Google to delay the coupon code to reach me?

What kind of support will be available to reclaim my coupon code?

I have redeemed with $25 coupon code, but there are other coupon codes are available comes with higher amount of coupon codes ( see below link for redeem your $250 Adwords coupon code

Can I have other Adwords account on my name to redeem other coupon codes?

I am going to raise the question with Google and I will come with updates when I got answers from Google . If you have experienced same issues let me know here.

India Never Invaded Any Country- How Far Its True

Disclaimer

This article is and response to the fact sheet sentence found on web “India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history “I am writing this article to provide the honest and meaningful review about this statement  to everyone.

I am not writing this article not to discriminate or disgrace any one or group of people. My intention is to provide honest review about the sentence quote found on the web.

India born from the  Result of   invasion

It just not mis believe that “India Never invaded any country” but the birth of Today’s India is the outcome of series of invasion.  you can say , India not prepared any wars , only the Turks,Afgans, Arabs ,British, Spanish, Portuguese did . But the truth is before 2500 years ago India is the place of  Dravidian who are the descendants  of African   ethnicity. After some years the Aryans – who the people having the Europe as their home land , Invaded India massively and massacred Dravidians so Dravidians moved back and settled in the southern part of today’s India.    Then gradually Aryans mingled with “Dravidian” –The ancient people of India and produced new ethnicity

India has no History of 5000-10,000 years

My point is “India is not having 10,000 years even 5000 years of History”  , may the Aryans have 5000-10000 years of history but it is not considered as “Indian History “ because Aryans never landed or presence here in  India 5000 years before , even they doesn’t  know the land  (India)before .so  if you want to look at the history of India , look for the history of Dravidian not with Aryans

The foremost mistake did by every historian of India is by looking the history from “Aryans “ to “Dravidian” but it’s not the correct one because before 2500 years they are not Indians( may not belonging to Indian Soil)so the history should be look after from Dravidians to Aryans

One of the earliest civilization found on India is, Indus valley civilization is belonging to Dravidian ethnicity came to an end due to the invasion of “Aryans” from that you can conclude that “India has no history before 2500 years ago it should be called as “ Dravidian History “

“Aryans history is not considered as India’s history before they have invaded to India”

When the India was born

Before Mugals captured India, India is the place of more than 300 independent nations fighting with each other to dominate one on another. So every nation has their own territory and their own king so before Mugal came no one (even Dreamed) spells the name India. When Mugals came they start capturing every places they could found, So India’s first successful integration ( I mean integration of most of the geographical area found today) was done by Mugals ( and yet they are not completely integrated the  little nations) The first complete mission was done by the British people who are the proud holders of this wonderful job , they have integrated the samstanas ( more than 300 independent nations ) under one roof then the India has born

India invaded most of South Asian Countries – Judge yourself

If India is considered be the country starts from Kashmir to kanya kumari ?Are you agree that the present parts of country is same as past previous years?

The Tamil king Raja Raja I (985 to 1014 CE) from Choza(chola)  dynasty invaded and successfully conquered the Andhra ,karntaka, orrisa,Bengal ( Not kerala because there is no kerala at that time it belongs to chera dynasty) and other countries like sri lanka, andoman nikobar,lakshadeep , Myanmar( Burma),Indonesia , Java and Sumatra  ,and other parts of south east Asia

Raja Raja I- Invaded  Most of South East Asia

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnANjdReAlY

The descendants of Raja Raja I expanded their territory also to Malaysia, Singapore, Kambodia, Thailand

If you any doubt in my words refer the Wikipedia reference given here and most of them you know that

Angkor Wat – The greatest temple complex of Cambodia which represents the Indian tradition and Hindu religion. Who build this temple? The answer is “Descendants of Choza dynasty (Tamil ethnicity)

These temples are build after the successful conquers of Invasion lead by Tamil kings

Extra Note:

Before Raja Raja I , many of the Tamil kings successfully invaded some countries but  I am not writing about this right now because Raja Raja I conquered many countries than any other kings of India
