Infolinks Ads Reviews: Easy Way To Earn Money Online
Making money online is not a difficult job if you are using a right approach. But unfortunately, I have seen many bloggers who are working day and night but are not able to generate much income from their blog. The only reason is they don’t know which monetization model to follow.
Many bloggers only think about Google Adsense. If Google Adsense is rejected either they get dishearten or again start waiting for Google Adsense to be approved. It is good to go for Google Adsense but if you are not getting success, then meanwhile you can try other Ad networks also. If you surf for Adsense alternatives then the first thing stood up will be the Infolinks 🙂

InfoLink is one of the best income sources for bloggers who are tired of getting rejected by Google AdSense. It is one of the leading company in in-text advertising. Also, you can use Google Adsense with Infolinks as well 🙂 So, I thought to write an article on Infolinks reviews.
How InfoLinks Works?
The best thing about Infolinks is it does not annoy visitors through Ads. Also, it does not eat up your website space as the ads are directly inserted in the text.

The more clicks/ad views you get from your visitors, the more money you will make.

In inaugural speech, Donald Trump talks of 'giving power back to Americans-us president donald trump swearing ceremony
Even as he pitched himself as the classic outsider hell bent on cleaning up Washington DC, Trump reiterated that "protection will lead to great prosperity and strength" and that strong borders are needed to keep out "Islamic terror". He didn't falter once in his speech and neither did he use the word "bigly", but aside from that his speech
was a rehash of all his campaign rhetoric - but the very rhetoric that endeared him to the masses rather than the classes on the East or the West Coast.
Trump got the loudest applause when he said his administration would "eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face of this earth." Almost equal applause greeted his comment that America's economy would be renewed by "buying American and hiring American"+ so that the United States is made "great again." But a surprised silence greeted his nod to brown and black Americans who he said "bleed the same red blood of patriots."
Like he did throughout his campaign, Trump pitched his administration as the "people's administration" and not the "politicians' administration.
"Today's ceremony has very special meaning. It is about transferring power from Washington DC and giving it back to you the people," was one of his opening comments.
That was just the beginning. He had a lot more to say about 'dirty DC'.
"For too long a small group in nation's capital has reaped the rewards of being in power while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished but people did not share in its wealth. Jobs left, factories closed. The establishment protected itself, not the citizens. Their victories and triumph were not yours. While they celebrated in DC there was little to celebrate for struggling families across the land," said the billionaire President.
But, Trump said, he's going to be the one who changes all that.
"That all changes starting right here and right now, because this moment is your moment, it belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today. This is your day... January 20, 2017 will be remembered as the day people became the rulers of this nation." Trump said, even as a host of career politicians, including former US Presidents, looked on.
If Americans come first, it also follows that America comes first, and that's what Trump segued to in his speech.
"We subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military. We've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own; and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay," Trump said.
He referred to rusted and shut factories more than once. He called them "tombstones", again showing exactly what endeared him to the populace that voted him to power.
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind," Trump added
Before he launched into a criticism of career politicians and Washington DC in general, he profusely thanked his predecessor Obama and Obama''s wife Michelle for "being gracious" throughout the transition of power. "They have been magnificent," Trump said, in a rare display of hyperbolic praise for an opponent on the political spectrum.
In a rare poetic flourish, toward the end of his speech, Trump talked of being a President for "Americans from mountain to mountain, Americans from ocean to ocean" building that sentiment up to a crescendo to end with, of course, "together we will make America great again".

Election Commission gives Akhilesh Yadav license to ride the cycle
The Election Commission has decided to give Akhilesh Yadav the SP's 'cycle' symbol
EC also acknowledged Akhilesh as the party's national president
The decision is a huge blow to the Mulayam faction ahead of UP assembly polls
The Election Commission granted the disputed 'cycle' symbol of the Samajwadi Party to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav today.
The EC's decision comes as a huge blow to Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav ahead of the impending state assembly polls
The three-member EC, headed by Nasim Zaidi, had reserved its judgement after hearing both sides on January 13. Today, it ruled in favour of Akhilesh after examining documents signed by party members advocating support to the young party leader.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, counsel to Akhilesh's faction, attested to the same.
"EC dealt with the issue at various angles. By January 9, the Akhilesh group filed all documents at various levels. But the Mulayam group did not respond to the commission's direction and that meant they really had no evidence of their support claim," Sibal said after the verdict.
The EC said the group led by Akhilesh Yadav is the Samajwadi Party and is entitled to use the 'bicycle' symbol. It also acknowledged Akhilesh Yadav as the national president of the Samajwadi Party.
EC: Ramgopal's plea had signatures of 31 natl executive members, 5242 party delegates, 195 MLAs & 48 MLCs of UP, 4 Lok Sabha MPs & 11 RS MPs
— Bharti Jain (@bhartijainTOI) January 16, 2017
Hailing the EC's decision, senior leader and Akhilesh loyalist Ram Gopal Yadav said, "This is a just decision. The Election Commission will get the blessings of crores of people in Uttar Pradesh."
The dispute over the party symbol arose following election of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav as the SP national president at a convention on January 1.
At the same convention, incumbent president Mulayam Singh Yadav was made the patron of the party.
This was contested by Mulayam, who approached the EC and conveyed to it that he continues to be the party president and the election symbol should remain with his faction.
This was challenged by the other side, which filed affidavits by various party office bearers, MPs, MLAs and district presidents to claim that the majority was with the chief minister's faction, hence it was entitled to the symbol.
As a contingency, both factions had zeroed in on alternate symbols in case the 'cycle' was frozen. The Mulayam faction is believed to be considering Lok Dal's symbol of 'farmer with a plough'.
The assembly poll process for Uttar Pradesh will commence tomorrow with notification for the first phase of voting on February 11 covering 73 constituencies spread over 15 distracts in Muslim-dominated Western UP. The state will have seven-phase polling between February 11 and March 8.

CAST: Sharwanand, Anupama Parameswaran, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Naresh, Indraja
DIRECTION: Satish Vegesna
GENRE: Family
DURATION: 2 hours 14 minutes
Story: Raju garu (Prakash Raj) lives in Aatreyapuram with his wife (Jaya Sudha) who pines for her kids. Their two sons and daughter Jhansi live abroad and barely ever come to visit. When his wife asks Rajugaru to invite the kids for Sankranthi, knowing they never make time, he tells them that they have decided to get a divorce to make them come home. And when they do, Jhansi’s daughter Nitya (Anupama) and Raju (Sharwanand), Rajugaru’s grandson who is the village heartthrob fall in love. Amidst the family drama their love story too blossoms.
Movie Review: Every tried and tested Tollywood trope that a Sankranthi family cinema has promised time and again can be found in this film. The nostalgia-inducing festival traditions, village nativity (particularly baiting the US box offices), a bava mardalu romance and an abundance of dialogues highlighting the importance of family – what more do you need for a perfect pandaga watch! And that’s what Shatamanam Bhavati does. There isn’t much to the story itself in the film as much as there are those philosophical lines about love, life and family.
The movie is a story that can be told in 10 minutes but rides on a plethora of scenes that are meant to give you the “pandaga feel”. You watch a big happy family coming together for the festival and spending quality time with each other, and it does warm your heart. But there is no real conflict to the story. It’s just Prakash Raj’s final monologue that fixes everyone’s attitude. As for the love story, the only conflict was Jhansi considering her daughter’s love for Raju just infatuation. And considering what we see, it could just be true.
Here’s the love story: Raju is the intelligent, obedient and loving young boy who girls in the village drool over. The village goody-two-shoes who has absolutely nothing negative about him. Nitya is the Australian-born NRI maradalu who at first was reluctant to even visit India but over the short trip falls in love with Raju and decides to stay back forever in Aatreyapuram as his wife. Sure does sound like infatuation. But well, it only takes a second for Prakash Raj to change Jhansi’s mind. He says, “inthakante manchi alludu dorakadu” and just like that she’s convinced. If that doesn’t sum up the dramatic liberties that were taken in the film I don’t know what does.
Technically, the cinematography is top-notch – due credit must be given to the locations as well. Prakash Raj nailed his role and so did Indraja and Jaya Sudha. Sharwanand’s performance somehow felt disconnected and uninterested while Anupama’s prowess as an actress was wasted in the role. She just had to be the wide-eyed NRI mardalu who is excited pretty much about everything that catches her eye. She did look ravishing though, albeit too young. Music is basically the love-child of SVSC and A Aa. Mickey doesn’t seem to have recovered from the hangover.
All said and done, Shatamanam Bhavathi doesn’t offer much as a film. However, this is the holiday season, and if you wanted watch a laid-back low-risk film with your family, there couldn’t be a better choice.

CAST: Nandamuri Balakrishna, Hema Malini, Shriya Saran, Shiva Rajkumar, Kabir Bedi
DIRECTION: Krish Jagarlamudi
GENRE: History
DURATION: 2 hours 25 minutes
STORY: Satakarni (Balakrishna) the emperor of the Satavahana kingdom nurtures a dream – a united Bharata khandam. He fights wars to unite the entire Bharata khandam under one kingdom thus ending all war. The film traces the life and glory of the 2 century emperor.
GAUTAMIPUTRA SATAKARNI MOVIE REVIEW: Directed by Anjanaputra Krish, starring Basavatarakamputra Balakrishna and Neerajaputri Shriya – Gautamiputra Satakarni as promised is all about Telugu glory. Generously embellished with dialogues that sing praises of the “Telugu jathi”, and that too delivered by Balayya, GPSK gives the audience a lot of reasons to cheer. Balakrishna looked like he put his own love for the culture in the dialogues. “Badugu jaathi kadu Telugu jathi!” thunders Satakarni to the northern ruler who mocks the people of the south and he does it powerfully enough to make you feel the Telugu pride in you that you never knew existed – quite a fix of regional ego, that.
As Satakarni asks “Amma kante ekkuva evaraina unnara” to his courtiers who object to letting Gautami (Hema Malini) take the throne before the king does as “agra tamboolam”, you will find yourself convinced. And his wife Vashishti Devi (Shriya Saran) too is given her due credit when she allows her infant son to fight a war with his father, albeit reluctantly. Shriya as Vashishti Devi looked majestic yet delicate and played the role of a hurt mother impeccably. Hema Malini too was a delight to watch on screen.

Balayya in his 100th film too is actually resorting to his usual antics – killing an army singlehandedly, slapping thighs as he speaks about his clan, punch dialogues and larger than life heroism. However, because he does it in this dramatic set up of a historical as the proven valiant ruler, it all fits. But you can barely ignore the fact that he is getting older. Although the maturity in his face helped during the high-emotion war scenes, his body language wasn’t cooperating.
GPSK is all about the dialogues. Your love for the language will certainly get a boost after watching this film. It was a job well done by Sai Madhav Burra; kudos! As much as the album was a great hear, the songs don’t do much for the film. Especially two songs in the second half, Mriganayana and Saho Sarvabhowma seem unnecessary.

Chiranjeevi-Kajal AggarwalCAST: Chiranjeevi, Kajal Aggarwal, Brahmanandam, Ali
DIRECTION: VV Vinayak
GENRE: Drama
DURATION: 2 hours 27 minutes
Due to a quirk of fate Kathhi Seenu (Chiranjeevi), a convict on the run, ends up swapping places with a good samaritan Shankar (Chiranjeevi), who is fighting for the rights of poor farmers. All Seenu wants to do is to run away to Bangkok, by conning the poor farmers, but he ends up becoming their liberator.
KHAIDI NO 150 MOVIE REVIEW: There was a time, from the late eighties to mid nineties to be specific, Chiranjeevi could entertain playing plain stupid. Like get all giggly and coy with the side kick while discussing how to chat-up the girl he digs. Or kiss his fingers in delight after touching patting her cheeks and blow air kisses. And when he’d hold his belt and doing those trademark tummy wriggles, the theatres would echo to deafening roars of whistles. Can’t fault Chiru for not trying though. He did all that in trying to be the Megastar of the past. And more. But watching him hold his yellow lungi — which is wrapped around a gaudy designer distressed denim — and go Ammudu let’s do Kummudu to a waif like Kajal Aggarwal, something seems off. Way off. There were whistles, yes, but they seem to be coming from motely bunch of pot-bellied-40-somethings, who seem to reminscing about the days of yore, that are long past.

It has to be said, Chiru doesn’t look a day older than he did in his last film, Shankar Dada back in 2007. Yet something seems amiss. Even with the dancing When shimmying and shaking in contour hugging pencil fit trousers, he still looks graceful, albeit in a way a 60 year old man would. Nothing like the Megastar of yore. Guess in the decade that he’s been away, we’ve gotten too used to the gravity defying dance moves of the likes of Allu Arjun, Ram Charan and NTR Jr that have become the benchmark. With the physical spectacle element gone of his dancing, the spring in steps is missing, the famed grace and poise notwithstanding.
Unfortunately, for the entire first half Chiru keeps doing just that for most the of first half. Perhaps he’s been away too long. May be he just needs to do it long enough before we all get used to it again. May be not. It will all depend on how big a fan you are of the Megastar and how glad you are to see him onscreen again.

Thankfully, in the second half, that we get to see flashes of the old Chiru. Not so surprisingly, it happens in those episodes where the man is beating the bad guys to pulp by the dozen. The evident decline in agility in physical movements notwithstanding, Chiranjeevi looks more convincing in the action episodes. When delivering lines that dwell on the ill-treatment meted out to the farmers, rattling out how the corporates are exploiting mother earth, he brings a gravitas that makes the dialogues seem better than they are.
The story has it’s heart in the right place. Chiranjeevi does the needful to play an a son of the soil, who is heading a motely bunch of old men who don’t want to part with their land. Tarun, Anjala Zaveri’s husband plays the vicious corporate honcho who wants to set up a factory on their farm lands, albeit a little too underwhelmingly. The action and drama bits are alright, as are some bits of the comedy tracks that involve a barrage of funny men — Ali, Brahmanandam and Posani. But does it all come together as a film? We aren’t sure. But yes, Chiranjeevi is back for sure, although we can’t quite say he’s back with a bang.
