  • Limited or no ads – YouTube redefines monetization

    Limited or no ads – YouTube redefines monetization

    So YouTube introduced a new advertiser friendly guidelines, based on which an algorithm reviews all videos and tags these videos automatically to a new set of monetization category. Earlier, YouTube only had either Monetized or Non-Monetized option. Now we also have limited or no ads. I noticed this on my YouTube channel, Indianomics TV recently and was surprised by the move.

    What is Limited or no ads?

    The newly introduced “Limited or no advertisement“, may mean that either there will be no advertisement at all or very few adverts. The lack of advertisement under this category is not restricted by YouTube, but given the categorization, advertisers may be wary of pushing their ads on these videos.

    And even if the adverts do make their way, chances are that money they will be charged would be very less than other comparable fully monetized adverts, and then by keywords. Demand for such advert slots will be more popular with new small scale advertisers as well, then? I sure can guess that it will. And hopefully keep up with the current revenue stream? YouTube has listed their Advertiser friendly guidelines, which every YouTuber should be familiar about.

    What does this mean to me as a YouTuber?

    As some of you may already know that I operate a small YouTube channel by my blog name, Indianomics. I am using Google AdSense for close to 12 years now on this blog, but never made enough money to get a cheque of $100! Yes, I have not been using AdSense right enough. Then there were many years that I did not publish adverts at all.

    It so happened that I pushed my latest video of Yeti, my Royal Enfield Himalayan, completing a year with me. The video got about 300 hits before Google’s new Limited or no advertisement icon showed up. And I wondered, what was wrong with the video immediately. This Limited or no ads thing is surely an area of concern for me, as this does have the possibility of reducing my ad income, even though minuscule, further.

    I guess many other YouTuber’s videos were hit by this new status and panic is surely to set in. What if I stop making money on these videos? It does not impact me, but those who make money from YouTube’s advertisement are hoping they do not get impacted.

    So what not to do? Is there a cheat list?

    Well there is no definite cheat list, for starters, go about complying fully to Google’s YouTube content guidelines. guidelines like Community, Monetization and Basic Polices, and advertiser friendly guideline. More importantly our topic, the last one – advertisers are at the core of YouTube’s revenue generation for itself and content creators. Hence, ensure you are following all of the guidelines.

    Second, ensure your content or content description does not have the following.

    What not to do on YouTube?
    Any form of Violence or WeaponsWeapons, attack (gamers beware), kill, death, gun, ammo, ammunition, bullets, grenade, missile, assault, slaughter, punish, suicide,
    Controversial subjectsTerrorism, drugs, other general controversies prevalent at that time, alcohol, abuse, rape,
    Inappropriate or Hateful languageSwear words (all of the most common) like fuck, shit, damn, crap, jerk, ugly. Hateful content like homophobia, negative tones on god, faith, or any other current issues at the time.
    Harmful or dangerous activityhacking, passwords, crack, selling dangerous goods like drugs and other explosive content,
  • Ring tones of Rajasthan Tourism Ads

    Ring tones of Rajasthan Tourism Ads

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you have read my review about the Rajasthan Tourism advertisement, then you are here to download the Rajasthan Tourism ring tones. Do not forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, Indianomics TV.

    Ever since I first heard and watched the advertisement of Rajasthan Tourism, I fell in love with it immediately. It is perhaps one of the most captivating advertisement I have seen in a while. So smitten by it that I actually had to extract the background score and song out of these videos and add these as ring tones on both of my phones. These Rajasthan tourism ringtones are conversation starters, I must tell you! I have compiled two set of ring tones for iOS (.m4r) and other (.mp3) devices, download them from below.

    Here is a compiliation of all of the famous Rajasthan Tourism Ads.

    [/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”Download Rajasthan Tourism Ringtones for Android/Windows Phones for Free MP3 in ZIP”]Downloading ring tones for Android and Windows Phones is far easier than for iOS devices like iPhone. All you need to do is, download the ZIP file attached here on your Mac/PC or Mobile. Use an UNZip Utility like WinZip or 7Zip (preferred) to extract the MP3 files into a folder.

    Android Phones

    Once the files extracted, connect your phone to the Mac/PC and transfer the newly extracted ring tones into your phone. I personally would create a custom Ringtone folder for all custom ring tones, but you can decide where you need to place them. Remember, not all android phones work alike so you will need to figure out how it works for your device.

    On your PC/Mac

    1. Download the ZIP file and store it an accessible folder that you remember or you can just copy the files already.
    2. Connect your Android phone with the USB cable to your PC
    3. Open my computer and then click open the “Phone” icon.
    4. You will find a folder named “Ringtones”, go ahead and open it. If not, you can create a new folder named “Tones” or “Ringtones”.
    5. Paste the copied songs in to this folder.

    Setting ring tones on your phone

    1. Go to setting > Tones (or respective option on your phones) and you will see the list of options.
    2. Tap on the “Ringtone” and it opens a list of ring tones.
    3. If you already do not see your new tones on the list, then click on custom ringtone and navigate to the folder where you stored the MP3 files.
    4. Go to the song you want to use as your new ringtone and select / touch / tap on it.

    Then go to Settings > and select the Rajasthan Tourism Advert ring tone of your choice.

    Windows Phones

    Much like the process for Android phones, with exception of where to place your ring tones. Below are the how-to-steps for setting these tones and your ring tones.

    On your PC/Mac

    1. Download the ZIP file and store it an accessible folder that you remember or you can just copy the files already.
    2. Connect your Windows 8/10 Mobile smart phone with the USB cable to your PC
    3. Open “Windows Phone” on your computer and then click open the “Phone” icon
    4. You will find a folder named “Ringtones”, go ahead and open it.
    5. Paste the copied songs in to this folder.

    Setting ring tone on your phone

    1. Go to setting > personalization and touch select the “sounds” option.
    2. Tap on the “ringtone” and it opens a list of ring tones.
    3. If you already do not see your new tones on the list, then click on custom ringtone and navigate to the folder where you stored the MP3 files.
    4. Go to the song you want to use as your new ringtone and select / touch / tap on it.

    The Advertisment

    Shot by Ogilvy and Mather, the advertisement itself is a piece of art. Showcasing everything that Rajasthan is famous for, and showing things that you and I never imagined existed in Rajasthan. A classic example of this is “Huansthan”, where a Chinese tourist is shown breathing (more…)

    Unsuspectingly Indian, Lufthansa creates new emotions

    I don’t know how many of you remember ModiLuft? It was an India airline started in 1993 in collaboration with Lufthansa, after the relaxation of economic policies by the government lead by PV Narasimha Rao. The airline ceased operations in 1996 after relationship turned sour between Lufthansa and S. K. Modi, the Indian promoter.

    ModiLuft was the only airline in India to fly three classes in domestic network using the then advanced Boeing 737. It soon became a darling of travelers for its on-time performance. Thanks to Lufthansa Technik, the ground handling arm of Lufthansa. ModiLuft’s license was used to create what is now SpiceJet, and apart from that there is nothing in common between them. So why did I bring in this history? (more…)

  • Tata Indica Adverts misleading

    This is something I would have least expected from Tata Motors. Misleading customers.

    If you carefully look at the image attached in the bigger font, they have written “Petrol Prices making you take the train?” and says out loud that at 25 kmpl, the Indica eV2 shown on the left is India’s most fuel efficient car.

    When you closely look at the fine print at the bottom, its written that “ARAI Certified fuel efficiency of 25kmpl for the CR4 diesel engine“. If the Fuel Efficiency is 25kmpl for a Diesel engine, then why blare out and talk about Petrol?

    This is nothing but a drive to make people think and go to Tata Motors. They should correct this at the earliest and make the amendments.
